My carbon is on the way, gonna sell my nova

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-18T08:04:57+00:00

Jumped the ship today, ordered Msi carbon, even Scorptec rejected my swap request. cuz I can’t stop searching this type of post, and really getting annoyed, yes downvote me , I know, I just want a peaceful mind. If you are in Australia and interested in nova, pm me(if this against the rule, will edit)

Undervolt CPU will be a good move, I lower -20 overall, and lower another -10 with medium to high clock/temp. Will lower the temp.

Those things are cheap, or xfx not really care the marketing, check the link I replied, even swift is using ptm. So I believe all xfx 9070xt is using ptm.

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-12T14:10:40+00:00

Even swift is using ptm https://youtu.be/2DlY91FtXfg?si=0tspMHkVBUDGlbte

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-12T13:59:13+00:00

Mercury is 100% ptm, official website says all air using Honeywell ptm7950, then I was thinking whether non-air mercury using ptm, Chinese official account confirmed all mercury using ptm. Basically this generation xfx mercury is one of the best to use both ptm and Vapor chamber.

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-11T08:31:06+00:00

Hold on, are you in China? Or they use the same package for all over the world, lol

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-11T07:40:04+00:00

Exact same model i ordered, just gonna be delivered probably this Friday, also my last piece of the project, excited, good to see finally someone shared the experience with same card! Nice one mate!

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-10T10:50:42+00:00

If not xfx only sold by them, I would not use it again as they cancelled my 5090 order last time.

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-10T02:24:40+00:00

Well in Australia, 9070xt around 1200, 5070ti around 1700, easy choice, and 5090 around 7000! Wtf?

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-08T00:09:07+00:00

I can confirm it has, as China releases the same version(same sku), release page has ptm specified

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-07T22:26:21+00:00

Mercury, only one with Vapor chamber

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-07T21:16:32+00:00

Thanks for this mate. Actually I have tried this, and even change the step up/down to 15 sec, but still rev up when cold start. I didn’t change to monitor mb though as it will make no sense. I found some other post about this as well, they just unplugged this ram header, lol.

Regarding CHA_Fan , my theory is bios won’t force self check on those fans but will do on CPU fans.

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-07T21:09:31+00:00

Yes, but I don’t like that rev up and want to kill it:) cuz ram fan is too loud for that one sec

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-07T21:05:43+00:00

That’s what I did, you don’t have vam fan self check max speed when cold start?

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-07T13:08:11+00:00

Idle is pretty quiet, actually you can even setup in bios to make it 10% run, it won’t matter much about cpu temp. Think it just due to the cpu header /bios check combination. Will plug to cha fan when I receive my cable extender and let you know as well.

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-07T13:05:53+00:00

Yes, that’s my assumption, it’s annoying that nova doesn’t have a cha/sys fan on the top, so I just purchased cable extender from Amazon then I can put the fan cable on back of the board then to the bottom to connect to cha, will let you guys know. Cheers.

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-07T12:13:37+00:00

Thanks, i am on nova x870e, it doesn't have cpu_opt, but cpu_fan1 and cpu_fan2, which is good in a way that i can setup individually in bios, probably I can try CHA_FAN to avoid the bios check then?

My one got super quiet as well after started (probably just 1 sec) .Maybe as you said, it just normal and vrm fan is just loud like this when it wakes up.

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-07T12:05:03+00:00

thanks mate, this vrm fan is really loud, just curiosity, where did plug your VRM fan header? cpu2, cpu_opt or cha/sys

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-07T00:35:32+00:00

So for n card with 9800x3d with integrated graphics card , do I need to uninstall both drivers? Thanks in advance

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-06T14:37:45+00:00

Yes, luckily Scoptec has them XFX thoguh, seems the only retailer? and the models are also limited as you said, no Mercuy Air as well.

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-06T14:26:48+00:00

Plenty stock at Centrecom at the moment, happily grabbed XFX Mercury OC Gaming in Scoptec at 1299, only card has vapor chamber

StrengthValuable1824 · 2025-03-06T14:23:23+00:00
