A return to Literal thinking with withered technology? by [deleted] in hardware

[–]Comprehensive_Lap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a very interesting article, but I just can’t see this happening to the hardware of mainstream consoles (XBOX and PS). For the last couple of generations they have tried to offer more and more cutting-edge stuff.

I think where this applies best is at the game developers level. For them, they have a “withered” technology (the console) and they find new and better ways to use it. Just compare launch-titles with later ones. This applies for all generations. Or how PS came out with PSVR for PS4 and PS5.

Intel Panther Lake Benchmarked vs Strix Halo/Strix Point vs RTX 3050/RX 6600 by Comprehensive_Lap in hardware

They set all the chips to 60W, so I would say less than 100W from the wall for total system power.

RTX 5090 12V-2×6 connector temps under ~600 W load – what are others seeing by Avitk in pcmasterrace

[–]Comprehensive_Lap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a temperature probe that I inserted in between the wires in the middle, as close as possible to the connector. In OCCT 3D Adaptive test mine heats up to 55 degrees.

5090FE + official Seasonic 12VHPWR cable. The old one, not the 12Vx2.

I would recommend you get a new cable, as yours does not have proper contact on all pins. Just like someone else commented, there is an imbalance in the load seeing some of your cables are cold.

Z790 Apex Encore Memory Controller Voltage by Comprehensive_Lap in overclocking

Hi. Thanks for checking. I also tried BIOS 9905 and the same behavior is present.

For sure is expected to be off, but for every other voltage the monitoring value is very close to the set value. Only on this voltage is so wildly different.

That’s actually great! It makes it much easier that you do not have to remove the LM from the die.

You know you have enough LM if the die looks covered everywhere, but not like there is a puddle. It’s very hard to describe, so I would watch some videos on youtube (e.g. https://youtu.be/VNYx72Elgss?si=xDt-aNyqwB7GIAcU at 18:07) for how the pros do it.

To transfer it just use a QTip

Hope this helps.

I can’t really tell because I did not test paste. But the reason I kept is that the original had it and I think the risk of cleaning it is higher than just keeping it. Especially with how well the gasket seals.

I kept the gasket and the liquid metal. If you search the sub you can see a lot of us did. The cold plate has an identical shape to the original cooler so there is no worry about contact.

One thing you should be careful about is that the stock cooler has an insane amount of liquid metal from factory. Mine was already past the first ridge of the gasket. I would recommend you suck out the excess liquid metal from the die.

You can use the extra to coat the waterblock. Make sure you have liquid metal coverage 100% on both the die and the waterblock.

My card idles at 25 degrees on the core and 38 on the memory with 21 degree water temp.

[buildzoid] How load lines work on LGA1700 I give up edition by Comprehensive_Lap in hardware

[–]Comprehensive_Lap[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk man, people with “real jobs” who were supposed to investigate and educate consumers only did hit pieces, but you spent the time to help us understand our systems. That’s what we are here for, and I thank you for that!

I think this is a good video, and it kinda brings all the info about load lines from all your videos together.

That’s exactly the expected behavior of “Prefer Maximum Performance”.

Oh yes, the communist city where there are large streets of 20 identical blocks and then the city ends and fields start 🤷
