How 'bout no, LOL... I wouldn't roll the dice on another Strix GPU... they're garbage. I think I would choose almost any other option over another Strix. If it is going to suck it should cost less, not more.

Good to know this is normal for the crappy ASUS memory. The Strix 4090 should be priced like a PNY or Gigabutt Windfarts bottomfeeder 4090 because it performs like one of them, if not worse.

Is this the worst of this years cooling product? 1x120mm and 1x240mm 30mm radiators baked together as one unit. And the  $500 USD price tag for this package don't make it looking better. Only worse. Whom is this new fancy cooler box meant for? You can mosly fit in an 360mm custom cooling/AIO in most of the mini PC boxes so I just can't see people will buy a box nr 2 to when the intent with your mini PC box was to reduce the mess/clutter around the gaming table/workplace or take it with you in another place in your house/or out to a friend for a gaming session. What a wasted opportunity to make something avsome in cooling from Alphacool. I give it minus 1 out of 5. Is minus 1 less or more than 1 bro @ryan?

Weird if they haven't tested this under the developement/design before finished product. But yep, older high end PC boxes used the rads the way you describe when they had a radiator chamber at bottom/top.

Step 3: Manual overclocking
To do this, we went back to the Intel drivers and the software that allows you to set up and monitor your graphics card. We were able to push the Boost frequency to 2580 MHz while keeping the fan in automatic mode. Unfortunately, there is still no way to change the memory frequency.

 

It’s a very good thing that overclocking is easier than at launch, hoping to see the memory frequency unlocked in the coming weeks.

Why castrate the TGP in same way as nvidia do for their mobile graphics cards? Whats the reason do this for lower tier desktop card when they increased TGP for their flagship? Reduce the useful lifspan so people/gamers is forced to buy next gen cards at launch day ---- 5060 with even more castrated TGP? The direction going the wrong way for desktop cards as they have done for power castration for mobile cards in laptops. This is just sad.

That 4060ti is really neutered, damn...

Nvidia really did slip up this generation, they just shifted the SKUs down a tier and people aren't saying much. Even that 4060 is rough; the only thing I can argue in its favor for is that the 1060's TGP was around 120w, but even this doesn't justify it using a 107 class chip with a 128 bit bus WHILE HAVING LESS VRAM AND CORES THAN LAST GENERATION??!??

There is a reason for this. Brother Tom MacDonald wrote a song about it.

The chorus is particularly on point...

I guess you love to be wrong, but you don't have the guts or the balls

3060 desktop card was 170w TGP or 48% higher than the new and shiny from nvidia with LESS VRAM AND CORES. As you can see... The whole card is dumb-ed down as the mobile junk. When you cripple the card you have to do it properly. Everything has to be castrated. They just can't do it halfway.

I appreciate Intel have to fight with the tools they have at their disposal, but Sapphire Rapids is broadly a fail vs AMD EPYC Genoa. A dual Xeon system gets beaten by a single AMD CPU. 

 

Just like they failed with the 13900K - a CPU which requires delidding out of the box for serious use.

It is very true. In Enterprise, Intel products are getting murdered left and right. AMD's foothold in enterprise is growing faster than even the numbers reported in that video due to mindshare and as Linus pointed out, the contracts are saving Intel's butt right now. 

 

However, Intel has a chance in HEDT/Workstations if they just match AMD's prices (TR Pro). I am no longer going to buy AMD CPU's after what happened to TRX40, so I am crossing my fingers W790 is going to be good.

See @Talon post below. I'm quite sure he never delidded his 13900K. Regarding failed CPU's... Rather look at AMD's higher tier V-cashe chips. It offer less productivity performance but slightly better in gaming. But if people like this type tradeoff's, then ok. It's their choice and their money. You can't please all.

 

If you have oc'ing as hobby... Going with Intel will never fail. In short a more fun Cpu to play with despite the less appealing baby cores.

Stock clocks, undervolted, and running quiet fans on the 420m AIO. The core to core deltas are the best I've ever had. Initial results were about half as good.

Does bro @Talonrun it 24/7 close to full load? I was quite happy for the first 2 months or so. The 12900KS lasted 3 times as long in much more severe summer conditions with worse cooling.

 

I'm not disputing Intel being a nice fun hobby platform though. Dealing with all the overheating, bending, plus risking ruining the CPU during a delid can be very exciting ;)

You can't run an EPYC in a workstation? The rule of thumb on Intel pricing seems to be take equivalent AMD price and multiply by 3:

I would still prefer an Intel CPU due to Thunberbolt and better numerical software support, but boy do they need to up their game by a lot and fast.

[Mr. Fox]

I can't really speak to AMD's EPYC enterprise solutions, as I have no exposure to them and it is irrelevant in my personal space. If what I have experienced over the years with their consumer-oriented products is exemplary (probably not) their success in the enterprise space would be puzzling to me. My experience with the products geared toward consumers has generally seemed kind of half-baked and amateurish in terms of their execution. I would hope that is not tolerated in a commercial application. I also understand that they probably just assemble the parts, plug them in and put them to work, so heavy performance tuning and extracting better gaming and benchmarking results, and dealing with crummy/buggy firmware, software and driver support is probably a non-issue. It just needs to run and perform the task it was deployed to perform.

Reliability and support are key in enterprise, as you likely have assumed. So far, in my experience using AMD in enterprise, they are surprisingly as reliable as Intel [once] you get through any bugs. That said, Intel is still overall, better in support. Although, some of my peers will argue that is only due to Intel's historic ironclad vertical integration.

Adapter came, and it isn't looking too good... 




There are no standoffs to actually screw the MXM card into the board and no instruction manual or guide whatsoever, just the adapter, 8 pin Clevo power adapter, and a bracket to mount in a case. The little L shaped part of the PCB on the bottom is shaped weird, and won't allow the card to sit right with some of my motherboards. I also noticed that some of the ICs on the back appear to be sanded so that you can't read waht model they are. I assume they did this as they are either stolen designs, or don't want anyone re-manufacturing this board from the ground up.

I haven't tested it yet as my monitor is terrible and doesn't like detecting desktops before they get into the BIOS, so I usually get no picture, even with boards I know work. The only display I can use to test is my downstairs TV, but my family is usually down there, so I will have to wait until late at night to test everything.

I really hope this POS works, it is NOT worth 150 dollars, but its the only adapter that is made... I am yet again forced to settle for garbage, something I refuse to do unless it is the only option 😞

This is a bit off-topic, but I thought I'd mention it with the topic of this poorly built adapter:

Spoiler

This is just something that I feel needs to be said more often, but everyone here, please strive for excellence (even though I know all of you guys here are doing this greatly). Alright is never good enough, so please take some pride in doing the best you can in regards to anything. With everything in the tech world going on right now and just life in general, I wish that more people would strive for excellence. I see too much wasted potential and selfish people/groups who do not care about anything and are willing to do things in a way that is more beneficial to them. I believe that even if it isn't in your best interest, that doing things to assist others and make the world a better place makes the biggest difference, and if more people thought this way, that things as a whole would be a lot better.

Yeah, thats what I plan on doing. I can hold the MXM card in the slot, but 1 availble hand is worse than 2 lol. I'll probably zip tie my 880m to the adapter.

My order I will be going in is 880m -> 860m -> 1080 

I will start with the 880m because if this adapter is bad, I don't risk killing a working card. I will test voltages of Vcore and PEX while it's in the adapter to ensure it its getting some kind of power. I'll then stick in the 860m to test if it can show a picture as I know that thing works, if it does end up getting that far, I'll take out my 1080 in my P870 and stick it in there to test if it will work with the Clevo cards that require the added 8 power connector. If it works with the 1080, I will ship it over to NorthwestRepair alongside the 2080. I'd like to test the 2080, but diagnosing MXM cards is hard (especially those Clevo ones.) The fact that when I tried testing it in the P870 and the computer shut off really quickly seems to be a message discouraging me from sticking the 2080 into this adapter. The P870 knows more than I do, and if I can guarantee that this adapter works, I'd hate to kill it OR burn a hole in the 2080. Dead adapter won't be fun, and a hole in the 2080 is a lot less fun than that, you can fix the adapter, but not holes...
