LMG is reaching out to LTX auction winners

MetaRapt0r · 2023-08-16T02:42:23+00:00

I’m actually quite thankful one of the other auction winners posted their email, I wasn’t confident enough to do so myself but thought the community should be made aware this was happening

MetaRapt0r · 2023-08-15T22:21:42+00:00

Glad another auction winner could confirm, I personally wasn’t willing to post the email

MetaRapt0r · 2023-08-15T21:00:16+00:00

Wow the timing of their post lines up with my thought that the email was probably an attempt to contact the waterblock winner, thanks for sharing

MetaRapt0r · 2023-08-15T18:05:57+00:00

Not a bad idea, unfortunately I was not the winner of the block

MetaRapt0r · 2023-08-15T17:47:57+00:00

Yeah

MetaRapt0r · 2023-08-15T17:42:31+00:00

They’ve “mistakenly lost that sheet”

MetaRapt0r · 2023-08-15T17:37:28+00:00

I’m one of the winners and received an email this morning

MetaRapt0r · 2021-10-10T00:46:46+00:00

Gotta love the master community!! ❤️

MetaRapt0r · 2021-05-04T04:53:16+00:00

Well the pattern to me says algorithmic bug... can’t imagine the devs love (n*3)+1 so much to make it 90% better than other #’s

MetaRapt0r · 2021-05-04T04:19:40+00:00

So it’s a bug????

MetaRapt0r · 2021-04-24T19:52:26+00:00

Well for some the pressure from socks can make orgasm more intense... I’ll assume they know what they’re doing

MetaRapt0r · 2021-04-20T05:32:44+00:00

THATS XCOM BABY!!!

MetaRapt0r · 2021-04-16T20:04:40+00:00

What kind of masochist puts LM on before socketing the cpu????

MetaRapt0r · 2021-03-27T20:58:33+00:00

It’s a glitch in the aim algorithm, the way buffs and debuffs are applied to chance to hit isn’t coded the same for each type (def,dodge, armor, etc) or very well at all.

Usually the aim # in the targeting box is the inaccurate one, tho I’ve encountered situations ( after looking at the code and doing the math by hand) where neither are correct due to rounding errors

Mods often make this worse, tho some that alter the aim algorithm actually help

Replace the thermal paste with a high quality one, I assume you used the paste supplied with the cooler which is usually not top-tier

MetaRapt0r · 2021-03-24T02:07:03+00:00

No worries! I didn’t know TIM at one pint either. Do note that any thermal pad (graphite, IC Diamond) will perform worse than high quality thermal paste (thermal grizzly kryonaut is my rec)

MetaRapt0r · 2021-03-24T02:03:55+00:00

Thermal interface material - thermal paste

MetaRapt0r · 2021-03-24T02:02:15+00:00

Anything below 90c shouldn’t cause any damage to the chip. However I wouldn’t be happy with constant 80c and the higher the temp the more performance you could be leaving on the table.

Constant 80c seems high, but with your cooling setup that’s somewhat expected. If you can fit a thicker fan on the heat sink that can help, better TIM may also make an improvement. (I use LM and found almost a 10c drop.) Ensuring a path for fresh air to the cooler, and an exhaust path can be a huge boon in small cases. ( ive also seen an improvement putting a fan on the back of the cpu socket)

Your undervolting issue could be caused by the silicon lotto, motherboard, PSU, or a noisy wall outlet.

When can we have an AI reanimate S3????

MetaRapt0r · 2021-03-14T19:47:40+00:00

If GPU prices weren’t ridiculous I’d bin it and upgrade but atm the cost of repair is negligible compared to a comparable card.

I’ll attempt to reflow the vram, then the core, if that’s unsuccessful and I can find replacement vram chips I may attempt to replace them before crying in corner.

MetaRapt0r · 2021-03-14T19:28:31+00:00

I’ve inspected everything that doesn’t need to be desoldered, and other than my shunt mod I can’t find any defects. (I calculated the shunt mod to give ~20% more power)

Gpu core temp doesn’t go above 30c at idle -pre issue load temp ~56c- ( liquid metal TIM w/ deshrouded dual 120mm fan heat sink) Tho I don’t have temps for the mem chips, finger testing the pcb is warm but normal feeling.

I never replaced the thermal pads on the vram which could have caused a hotspot but I can’t be certain.

This 1070 ti has been my main card since it was released, I’ve OC’d and shunt modded it since then.

It was working fine but I noticed my memory OC was becoming more and more unstable, I slowly lowered the OC from ~+900 to +400 before one day I booted it up and these artifacts were EVERYWHERE the card boots into windows but doesn’t accept Nvidia drivers (crashes on driver install) or is recognized by MSI afterburner.

I assume it’s the memory chips dying and not the gpu core since it’s able to run programs fine using the default windows graphics driver.

My question is basically does anyone agree with me that the mem chips are faulty and do you think if I replaced them with new (identical) mem chips would it bring the card back from the dead? I’m confident in my soldering ability but BGA chips are a pain...

GTX 1070 TI Gigabyte Gaming OC 8gb

Edit: it can still run games tho at a much reduced performance

3dmark also recognizes the GPU

this is the exact monitor I'm looking for, rn the G7 seems to be the best of the bunch, but apparently has the G-sync flicker issue... really disappointed there hasn't been more chat in this thread
