    I picked up Fallout 76 deluxe for $15 with the sale price as one of my buds and his wife play pretty religiously so I figured it would be something new to try while I wait for Dragonflight.

    I was wondering this just yesterday since reading @Falkentyne's excellent post over on the ocn forums using one of these. It seems like a win win in any scenario. This would especially apply to you @jaybee83 since you've already had the motherboard out numerous times. Check to see if you have enough room and give it a whirl!

    True and I didn't have too many problems with the FTW3 3090ti I had for about a week. Boosted to 2070 gaming and temps never went over 65c. Definitely not quiet though. Uplift was there just not enough to justify the $2k+tax price tag vs my 3080. I'm keeping an eye out on prices and ebay though as they continue to tumble. Problem with the KPE 3090ti is price, no block (for those who wc) and 4000 series right around the corner but the upside is a very limited run (if that's your thing), One of the if not only cards designed with dual power connectors and 100% MLCC poscap design but I can't see it outpacing what is now a $1650 FTW3 3090ti that much in performance (well $1850 w/ PSU). I do wish they had offered it with a T2 instead of P2 at that price. I fully expect the 4090 to smash the 3090ti by at least 30% if not more.

    Nice! Hopefully it will extend your X15 even further! If it is the one I think I saw it is already delidded too right? Knock out two birds with one stone (Delidded and binned).

    True, if I find a KPE around 1100 I might have to (re) pick one up again. All the cards that passed my way during the Pandemic and Mining craze the KPE 3090 was easily my favorite. KPE 3090ti is truly a limited run so it transcends normal 3090ti parameters and falling prices but $2500+tax is a tough pill to swallow. I picked up a 3090ti FTW3 but ended up returning it after a week as it just didn't bring the value for the $2k+ it cost IMHO but a $1200 3090ti FTW3 is a different story.

    Nice! Are you posting your progress and outlier work on this one somewhere in the forums?
  8. electrosoft
    $2499.99 + tax. Almost 2x the cost of used KPE 3090's on ebay (and falling)....yikes.
  9. electrosoft
    KPE 3090ti's are dropping first wave to queue members and auto-notify is gone so Jacob was right when he said limited. $2499.99 w/ 1600 PSU no exceptions. It's a bundle deal. If you didn't queue up you're SOL (if you wanted one). https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=24G-P5-4998-KT

    Speedy recovery brother! 🙏

    Nice! And most definitely. See where it lands you at -0.050 - 0.100 uv pull and temps to get an idea of draw and bleed. Also see how it compares versus your current 10900k. I haven't had a chance to really do much of anything with my X170SM-G in weeks with so many other projects on the table I've been churning through (and work). If you have access to a Z490/Z590 motherboard, you can also use my desktop binning chart from five samples I posted earlier:

    I was just thinking about him and his crocs wondering where he went. Good to know he is absent for a good reason!

    EVGA finally feeling the overstock glut and having barn burner prices on EVERYTHING (right now elite members only for a few days then everybody). Even their 1600w T2 is under $200 brand new for this sale.
  14. electrosoft
    Good price for a new 12900ks and that P-99 = ~P107-109 on a 12900k. The SP94 12900ks I had was rated exactly the same as my SP91 (P102) yet it was clearly superior both in IMC and pull/clocks but both hit a wall on my LF II 420 at 5.4 all core.
  15. electrosoft
    As long as it was sealed and no air leaked in consistently it should be ok. If it appears excessively runny and grainy it may have degraded as I had that happen with an older tube of CLU a few years ago and the results were subpar. I ended up getting a fresh tube of silver king lm and it was night and day.
  16. electrosoft
    Now we're talking! (Heath ledger Joker voice 😁) That CPU is pure garbage. For joe average it will do just fine though. It also shows why 11th and especially 12th priorities for many have shifted to fishing for superior IMCs and ring fixed around 5.2 all core and go from there. Just noticed you picked up a 12900ks, nice. new or used? What SP? P/E?
  17. electrosoft
    I was 99.99% sure you ran the tables checking everything possible but I've found myself in the past and present letting Asus work its magic to get sticks to suddenly work but with the most horrific latency just to make sure it was possible before returning to manually dialing them in. Yep, booting G1 4200. That's so odd it will only boot G2 for 4000. Where does the system tap out for G1? 3600? The 1504 update did improve stability and compatibility for the sticks I bought from you (those are the ones I ran 4200 G1) but some may still be problematic. What kit is it? I think you'll get clarity as you mentioned before when you plug in your better binned 12900k. You will quickly find out if it is the motherboard or cpu.

    I went back and checked my data logs for those 12900k's I binned and confirmed the SP81 and SP89 couldn't do 4000 even but did manage 3866 tops not 3733 so it could be the CPU itself. Definitely check your better bin in there and see how it handles it. Did you try setting XMP1 and let Asus "optimize" it for you then bump the frequency only manually up to 4133 just to see? I find when Asus "optimizes" it for you that you have a little more leeway in regards to some settings versus XMP II or manually tuning from the ground up. I just went and did a Q&D settings check for frequency and I was able to boot and run Aida @ 4200. I'm getting much better results frequency wise on 1504 with my SP91 12900k than I did on 1404 as on 1404 these sticks wouldn't break 4000 and the 2x8gb sticks stuck at 4133. Now they're doing 4200 (so far). Which BIOS are you running? I read the review lol. I like the ending part where you dump all over Armory Fail. 😄

    4266 2x8, 4133 2x16 but that was on 1404 with the 12900ks. I'll test 1504 just to see how high I can boot later with the SP91 12900k Since the IMCs are independent, there is no correlation between DDR4 and DDR5. It could be your MB or your IMC especially if your DDR4 sticks are known good to post higher gear 1. I know a few 12900k chips I was testing petered out at 3733 (SP81 and SP89 I believe). I initially thought it was the motherboard since I knew it wasn't the memory (8GB B-die sticks 4000 15-15-15 rated) but then my current chip handled 4000 no problem so it was actually the 12900k chips themselves.

    De8auer and a massive OC open competition (all CPUs welcome) along with all tiers of cooling and lots of prizes. I didn't even know De8auer was part of a group that bought hwbot lol:
  21. electrosoft
    Well at least you gave it a proper run through and looksy for comparison. What was your final take vs your NH55JNNQ? Are there any reviews up of the Precision 7770?
  22. electrosoft
    If prices keep dropping like this on used models so am I or a Strix 3090. If I can get a NEW 3090ti for $1539.00 everything adjusts down for me mentally both new and especially used. 3080ti's new are ~$1100; 3090 new are ~$1500. Pre-owned KPE 3090s are sub $1500 on fleabay in BIN fashion and a few in auction format at ~$1100 atm. I'd say you might be able to get one for $1250. Strix 3090's are right around $1250 average sale price too. Prices will keep dropping. Companies like Gigabyte get it and are slashing prices massively on all their cards vs be stubborn and sit on inventory. I'll wait till I find a hidden gem around $1k for a 3090 and pick one up as prices continue to crash. I waited so long for the 6900xt to drop that eventually the 6950xt was announced and I didn't want it anymore.

    Wow, that is a fantastic deal. Probably some hesitation because that is a rev 1 apex board.

    MSI GT77

    electrosoft replied to VEGGIM's topic in MSI

    Agreed, the actual performance for GPU is extremely close to the 12900h and that noise under load is insane. I think the idea was to dissipate the heat at a much higher rate to compensate for the thin and light heatsink design. It does work to a degree but again that thing under load is ridiculously loud. It was usable in silent mode but the fps did take a major hit. One thing I do like about MSI is their almost desktop level BIOS on their laptops once you open it up with the command sequence. They do this on all their models and the only thing that holds anything back is the CPU or chipset limitations. I wish other manufacturers did this with their laptops. I still can't get over those fans.... Are there any comparisons to their phase change thermal pad and stock tims/lm for comparison anywhere?

    With the way the market is heading in terms of real DTRs and the costs of pseudo DTRs (GT77, Scar 17), an SFF with a portable 17.3" LCD and a good TKL is a very viable option when you are needing a system in a location for hours or days and not quick portability site to site. GT77 has 4 memory slots and M.2 bays which is pretty extensive and good temps even under load. Depending on what Clevo does next time around I'm thinking a nice, small SFF with a wireless KB/M combo and 17.3"-20" portable display.
