The yellow dragon continue offer melt hell. How big marketshare have MSI over all other Nvidia AIB partners? 

 

 

 

Also Apple have created a monster that change color this year.... The trend is obvious. 

iPhone 17 Pro Max loses color: Apple demands 99 euros to fix it and blames the user for the color change.

 

And what is better than ask Asus for help? Yup, Asus know exactly how to set "correct prices" for hardware.

Microsoft points finger at Asus for the ROG Xbox Ally's hefty pricing

The president of the Xbox division said that pricing for the ROG Xbox Ally ($600 to $1,000) is in the hands of Asus.

Microsoft let Asus set the prices for Xbox Rog Ally, confirms Xbox President

"That is all of their insight into the market, into the feature set, into what people want, to determine the ultimate prices of the devices,” said Sarah Bond, confirming that the company relied on Asus' experience in handhelds Greed to get to the final price. 

 

 

Edit. A new one. Of course from Msi. Around 5 melted cards each week now.

 

Freddie even matching the same color on his shirt, LOL

One thing come from my mind... Have seeing Jonny Guru at Corsair said the QC on cables is zero to none. You get the wrong product and there you go. He said also that the quality on never PSUs going down the latest years... New is newer bro Fox. Doesn't always mean better.

 

 

 

Yep, spot on. QC means you also should test the products you have created. I'm sure some will use it after they bought it🙄

 

Warning: Cooler Master misleads customers in the official power supply support to self-destruct their 12V 2×6 connector

Summary and conclusion

The sobering conclusion after all these tests is clear: Cooler Master could never have tested this cable in its current form under real-world conditions. No manufacturer who had even once attempted to insert this connector into a current high-end GPU like an RTX 5090 Suprim, a 4090 Strix, or similar cards would have been able to avoid this design without noticing the massive design flaw.

 

Yup. People are their worst enemy. Critical thinking is completely absent.

Is the voltage and power limit unlocked with the stock vBIOS or you have to source the XOC vBIOS? What is your default voltage max?

 

The stock voltage is 1.15v and the stock power is 600w.

 

The XOC vBIOS is publicly available on tech power up and is 2001w, which further unlocks voltage and memory another +1000 over other 5090s.

 

Some nice individual over at OC.net PM'd me the extra special HOF tool for even further voltage, LLC, and switching period control. Basically the same as the old KingPin tools. 

 

Ordered the HOF 5090D IceMan waterblock on AliExpress. Figured the card is pretty rare and any future owner will def. want the ability to put it under water to take advantage of the voltage and power limits.
