The F8 command takes effect on the BIOS boot selection menu before the hand-off to the OS. After the hand-off to the OS it takes effect on the Windows boot selection menu. In both cases it is "boot selection" menu. If you are getting the BIOS boot menu you are pressing the F8 key one or two seconds too soon. If you have additional boot options items--like another OS or Macrium Reflect Recovery--it will pause on the Windows Boot Manager selection menu for a few seconds. You can set it to "wait for user selection" (my preferred option) and it will sit there forever waiting for you to instruct it what you want it to do. EVGA also has that pause and wait option available for the BIOS boot menu. I really love that feature and always enable it. It shows me all of the Windows OS boot managers and Linux, and bootable USB drives, and the option to enter the BIOS Setup, and waits for me, the Master of the Universe, to render my decree. It is sinful that not every BIOS has the same option available to enable. It should be mandatory to offer that option. 3 Wraith // Z790 Apex | 14900KS | 4090 Suprim X+Byksi Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | Toughpower GF3 1650W | MO-RA3 360 | Hailea HC-500A || O11D XL EVO Banshee // Z790 Apex Encore | 14900KF | 4090 Gaming OC+Alphacool Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | RM1200x SHIFT | XT45 1080 Nova || Antec C8 Spectre // Z790i Edge | 13900KS | 3090 Ti FTW3 | 32GB DDR5-8200 | RM1000e | EK Nucleus CR360 Direct Die || Prime A21 Raptor // Z690 PG Velocita | 13900KS | 2080 Ti | 32GB DDR5-6400 | RM1200x SHIFT | EK Nucleus CR360 Dark || Praxis Wetbench Half-Breed // Dell Precision 7720 | BGA CPU Filth+MXM Quadro P5000 | 4K Display | Sub-$500 Grade A Refurb | Nothing to Write Home About Mr. Fox YouTube Channel | Mr. Fox @ HWBOT The average response time for a 911 call is 10 minutes.

Yep not the newest cards from current gen but come with a nice Asus Strix OC 4090 price tag. The elite or chosen one want some cash back after the promotion and points. Remember this is the Limited Edition Card where only 100 were made. This one is number 4. so close to nr 1. Maybe youfinally have the chance to feel how the elite have it. Nice to have the chance to feel being privileged. Only $2185USD. Hope you don't need to pay for the shipping. and you ebven get a nice suitcase. You may have to pay for everything. Maybe send the bill to your employer 🙂 One thing for sure.... If you are the elite or the chosen one. You don't pay a dime. Smell on it... Only for yooo.

But I would never pay $2,000+ dollars for it LOLZ. I know they’re super rare. And I like the white PCB as well, with the single sided memory. More than anything, I would just like to play around with it for a bit and see how it clocks.

Yep, I mean old fashion legacy mode where you can chose if you etc want go into Win safe mode or do other tasks. Use same F8 key command on a OC board is damn stupid. They could have changed this for many years ago if they wanted. Can't be that difficult. But they have followed same stupid trend as Microsoft's stupid software engineers. You need do CMD tweaks to have the chance to go into Win leagacy boot menu after coold bot. Microsoft want that you use their crazy new modern way to access it.

Below is the stock XMP profile with the memory clock bumped from 8000 to 8200 (no other changes). So, I am sure there is some wiggle room for performance tuning, especially that sloppy loose tRAS over 100 clocks. I ran my tRAS at 42 clocks at 8200 and 32 clocks at 8000 on the Dark.

tps3443 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I am wondering if PCI-E X8@Gen 5 can fully provide the bandwidth for a overclocked RTX4090. I imagine it probably can. That’s one nice advantage to the Z790 Apex. At least both X16 slots are Gen5 capable. So if you do use the expansion card, your bandwidth to the GPU should be just as good. @Mr. Fox Maybe you can test this with the 3DMark PCI-E bandwidth feature test. It’s a quick test. And see what Gen5 X16 vs Gen5 X8 provides. It may be identical. You have a 4090, so this would really demonstrate if you lose any frames or bandwidth at all. I think even x8 Gen4 would be enough.

[spoiler: T700 review coming soon... stay tuned] Useless. All you should care about is the random read write 4k. The high sequential bragging numbers.... How often to you need server functionality on a consumer pc? And do people really need the fancy and modern CM angled adapters? Why not just buy a big enough PC box?

Papusan Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Vanilla 13900K out from the box. Haven't tuned in the cpu after the latest bios update. Neither have I tuned the cpu for 3DM Fire Strike. Just testing the new old card 🙂 https://hwbot.org/submission/5303752_papusan_3dmark___fire_strike_geforce_gtx_970_14145_marks https://hwbot.org/submission/5303747_papusan_3dmark___fire_strike_extreme_geforce_gtx_970_6879_marks Second one in a row. Maybe CableMod should ship with a free nose clip with the adapters, HaHa If so.... Would you use it bro @electrosoft while you gaming?😆 Another melted adaptor - you'll know it's melting from the god awful smell 3 1 "The Killer" ASUS ROG Z790 Apex Encore | 14900KS | 4090 HOF + 20 other graphics cards | 32GB DDR5 | Be Quiet!

It's either full PCIe 5.0 support for GPU or capped. So no point have a dedicated gen 5 M.2 ssd slot for etc gen 5 ssd's. Can't see Asus have made much wrong here with their OC board. More stupid.... Thanks to Nvidia. And yep... Asus out with great ideas Asus Flaunts GeForce RTX 4060 Ti with M.2 Slots for SSDs Like many other midrange GPUs these days, Nvidia's AD106 graphics processor only has eight PCIe 4.0 lanes since 15.754 GB/s raw bandwidth provided by eight PCIe lanes is enough for modern GPUs, and eight extra PCIe lanes take too much precious die space NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 PCI-Express Scaling Useless.

tps3443 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I have been running DDR5 8800 C40-52-52-52-135 for several hours now for gaming. I’m amazed this is even game stable. No WHEA errors, everything is solid. I’m seriously impressed with these 48 gig G.Skill 7200 sticks. Bios 1203 is solid! I couldn’t get 8800 to post before on 0904 bios. Now, 8800 posted very first try. Not only that, but it’s stable. “Stable enough” 🤣 I started out earlier today with 8800 C40-54-54-54-148. And I have been slowly tightening it up a bit. 3 1 13900KF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I just picked up an asus flare rgb cherry mx red switches keyboard for free. Loving it. This is pretty ironic as I told myself never buy asus. I guess technically I didn't but it surprised me how good the keyboard is and makes me wonder if it can possibly get any better. As for asus I wonder what there keyboard warranty is like. Am I protected from spills..I have to look it up see what others are saying ZEUS-COMING SOON Omen 16 2021 Zenbook 14 oled Vivobook 15x oled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now its MSI turn to say no to 3rd party adapters/cables as offered by CableMod. And I expect the graphics cards serial-nr is registered in their database after your first try to RMA. In short you will be banned from RMA your cards as long nvidia don't come up and force their AIC partners to accept fix the smoked/burned cards. Yep, your card will loose some value in the second hand market. Nice. I wouldn't buy a 1.5 years old car without any warranty. But that's me. Maybe other thinks different. CableMod adapter melted RTX 4090. MSI not accepting RMA. What next? And CableMod will never ever bother with your card again if you need send in you grapics cards that fail out in other tasks than burning up with their adapters 🙂 In short.... Their warranty can be useless. But they got your money for the failed angled 12VHPWR adaper. I hate bad deals. 2 1 "The Killer" ASUS ROG Z790 Apex Encore | 14900KS | 4090 HOF + 20 other graphics cards | 32GB DDR5 | Be Quiet!

Yeah Im out of luck just 1 year. owell Ive never had a keyboard go and it was technically free. what keyboard do you guys have, I know theres a thread somewhere in NBT on keyboards. I just can't believe how much better a mechanical keyboard is over a membrane laptop keyboard. I never really cared TBH. I think now a good keyboard can be just as important as a monitor. 1 ZEUS-COMING SOON Omen 16 2021 Zenbook 14 oled Vivobook 15x oled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grow weary of those who want you to pound your hardware to the red line hours on end to prove some mythical level of stability that transcends your own daily needs. 8 hours ago, ryan said: I just picked up an asus flare rgb cherry mx red switches keyboard for free.
