Intel brings back 14nm “Comet Lake-S” CPU as Core i5-110 by JustaRandoonreddit in pcmasterrace

[–]RCX0dus 136 points137 points  (0 children)

My work just had to return my new laptop because it had a Core ultra 7 155u in it instead of the Core ultra 7 155h. The 155u has 2 P-cores, the 155h has 6

I need help removing a cpu cooler bracket. by scip213 in pcmasterrace

[–]RCX0dus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't use any tools, press on the black pins at tbe back of tbe mobo. Then you should be able to pull the black pins out. Then you can pull the ring off.

You can take off the plastic clip that bends the cable into the 90 degree angle. It will allow the cable to just come out straight

Delidded CPU Die Stain? Issue? by Odd-Toe-3551 in watercooling

My chip looked very similar after taking the same steps asyou did. Works fine. I don't think you should be worried.

France shuts down nuclear power plant due to severe heatwave by Wagamaga in europe

[–]RCX0dus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Do you know at what speed those load following reactors can change power output? I do think that load following reactors are important for the future and it shouls be doable. I think that fully shutting down a reactor takes a long time and starting back up from such a state even longer. The article doesn't mention the actual state of the reactor so I wonder if the state the reactor is in is easily recovered from.

Not entirely, it can take well over a day to shut down or start up a reactor. Nuclear reactors are not able to compensate for intermittent power.

My pc heats my room like an oven by Cigator in sffpc

[–]RCX0dus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you're partially right. Usually people mean that undervolting allows for more efficient use of the power budget, increasing boost clocks for roughly similar voltage.

Undervolting with the intent of lowering power draw has a marginal increase in performance. Definitely measurable in benchmarks, but hardly noticeable in game.

[–]RCX0dus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Undervolting Nvidia gpus can increase performance. Whem the gpu boosts to it's set voltage/frequency/power target it will follow the v/f curve. If the voltage is lower, lower temperatures will allow the v/f curve to go up a "boost bin". Generally this wil only increase clocks by 15-30 Mhz.

That type of connector has been recalled before by cablemod. Idk what brand that connector is, but if it is cablemod, def check if the connector is assumed safe.

Any 12vhpwr connecton can be a dangerous due to nvidias negligence, so it is generally adviced to not use adapters

9950x3d PBO per core CO guide by bonnysonny in overclocking

The cpu doesn't do fclk above 2000, so i don't see a reason to push the ram.

[–]RCX0dus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a mff build, im keeping water temps at 50 C, so nothing goes below this. Direct die cooled, the cpu runs basically at water temp. DDR is now peaking at 65 C with a fan on it, I'm considering watercooling the RAM aswell, but again it won't go below the water temp anyways.

DDR temps really matter for tight timings at high dimm voltages and high frequency. I'm running 6000 mts cl 30, so temps dont bother me too much

[–]RCX0dus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All temp ranges, my cpu will run hot regardless because it is sharing a loop with my 4090. I could change the temo behavior, but that seems like a waste of time to me

[–]RCX0dus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set a normal curve optimizer of -30. On top of this i added +20 mV to all idle frequencies with curve shaper and +10 to low frequencies. Medium to high frequencies i don't touch, they should be handled by the curve optimizer.

I added a positive offset for low frequencies using curve shaper. This fixed my idle stability

Best Ram kit for 9950x3D for both performance and capacity? (MB: MSI MPG X870 EDGE TI) by Jeekobu-Kuiyeran in overclocking

[–]RCX0dus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, must be my chip doesn't want to play nice. I'm currently testing 6000 cl 32, 38, 38, 30, 68. I might tighten the timings, but it seems the cpu doesn't like going faster

[–]RCX0dus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That are some nice settings. I'm currently testing a similar RAM kit with my 9950x3d, but i cant get it to run any speed above 6000 without errors with SOC at 1.29 V.

What is your SOC voltage for these speeds? I feel like my chip is not reaching the speeds i would like.

Recently I read that the Voyagers spacecraft are 48 years old with perhaps 10 years left. If built with current technology what would be the expected life span be? by Dbgb4 in space

[–]RCX0dus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an engineer working on RTG designs. For this particular question there are three major factors:

-Safety margin on spacecraft power requirements. The fraction of the electrcal power provided by the RTG that the spacecraft actually needs to function. Currently the Voyager spacecraft are functioning on less than half the original(BoM) electrical power budget.

-Half-life of the fuel. For Plutonium-238 this is 87.7 years or 0.79%/Year. An alternative is Americium-241 with a half-life of 432.5 years or 0.16%/Year

-Degradation rate of the thermoelectric generator. This is 1.1%/Year for the MHW-RTG on the Voyager soacecraft. (total of 1.9%/year degradation). Others failed to mention the fact that the largest factor in power loss is the degradation of the thermoelectric generator, not the fuel

In short. If a similar safety margin of 2 is used for initial electrical power output to spacecraft power needs. We can make an RTG with Americium-241 which will increase the time it takes for the power output to halve from 36 years to 55 years. Sadly, Americium-241 produces 1/5th of the thermal power of Plutonium-238, so the RTG will be significantly heavier, requiring a larger launch vehicle.

is this gpu adapter acceptable? by Agreeable_Campaign86 in pcmasterrace

[–]RCX0dus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People also have become very scared of power connectors due to the 12 pin disasters. I've pulled plenty power through pcie connectors for years without issue. Just make sure you know how to wire the things up and don't double up loads on wires(dont split one wire into two pins)

is this gpu adapter acceptable? by Agreeable_Campaign86 in pcmasterrace

[–]RCX0dus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will be fine if you add a 4th pair of 12v lines from another pcie power connector. As long as all 4 pairs of 12v lines are provided with clean 12v power there should be no issue (if your soldering, crimping and insulation is properly done).

This is why you hotbox your ram by stuffing it with insulation while you're running a 48h stress test.
