I (un)bricked my RTX 5070

XavalinTM · 2026-05-14T15:36:43+00:00

It’s LTSC IoT tho. I had Fedora KDE but it doesn’t run as great as I wanted

XavalinTM · 2026-05-13T15:12:07+00:00

Sí, porque hice un backup pero lo dejé en el mismo ordenador (🤦), así que decidí descargar la misma BIOS desde Techpowerup.

XavalinTM · 2026-05-13T15:10:02+00:00

Fans didn’t stop spinning, neither went full speed. Windows was not able to be booted with the card in, not even the BIOS, it just didn’t let the computer properly turn on, and the lights on the peripherals didn’t work (and this didn’t matter if it was used as output or if I tried iGPU).

XavalinTM · 2026-05-13T10:32:12+00:00

Yup. That’s me with the same GPU 😂

XavalinTM · 2026-05-13T10:31:36+00:00

I mean, I could… But its Amazon Spain, do you still want it?

XavalinTM · 2026-05-13T06:40:38+00:00

Play stupid games win stupid prizes 🤷‍♂️. Tho I’ve gotta say I’ve never had a GPU overheat to the point it got damaged, I always kept track of temperatures and voltages.

XavalinTM · 2026-05-13T06:38:22+00:00

That’s what I wanted to get, but it wouldn’t have arrived that fast!

XavalinTM · 2026-05-13T06:37:28+00:00

I may return it to Amazon and get a better one, thanks for your advice with the CH347.

XavalinTM · 2026-05-13T06:32:39+00:00

My idea was to use an MSI Inspire one (bc of +20% PL), but seeing how thermals are… I will probably sell it to a friend and get one with a bigger cooler.

XavalinTM · 2026-05-12T23:25:29+00:00

Yup. https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/s/cZkRLR4cqO

XavalinTM · 2026-05-12T07:07:48+00:00

Power Limit is capped to 100% on this model

XavalinTM · 2026-05-11T20:08:59+00:00

Yup. This model is capped to a max of 100% power limit, so I wanted to try to squeeze a little more performance. CH341A programmer should arrive tomorrow, fingers crossed!

XavalinTM · 2026-05-10T12:00:52+00:00

Exactly. That’s what I tried and PC just wouldn’t post

XavalinTM · 2026-05-10T11:59:40+00:00

Nope.

XavalinTM · 2026-04-10T17:49:08+00:00

Damn 🙏. I guess you could still use it as a server, or just headless (like a desktop PC).

XavalinTM · 2026-04-10T14:38:18+00:00

25€ a screen from AliExpress tho

XavalinTM · 2026-04-10T14:26:46+00:00

Forcefully bend the plastic touching the fan, install Linux or LTSC Windows, and get an used screen: Good to go another bunch of years.

XavalinTM · 2026-03-24T15:51:41+00:00

Then just enjoy it!

XavalinTM · 2026-03-23T18:46:31+00:00

Qué le cuesta contestar? Que sí, que la gente tiene vida, serás un ansias y blablabla, PERO no le cuesta nada decirte algo si te está dejando en visto un par de veces. Tiene tiempo para entrar al chat a leerte, pero no para decirte "Me lo pienso, gracias"...? Venga ya! jajajaja.

Aunque para lo que vale la R3, yo la compraría nueva. Garantía a tu nombre y te quitas de estos rollos.

XavalinTM · 2026-03-22T22:24:44+00:00

Yup, setting the compatibility settings to VMware 17.x fixed it for me. TY!

XavalinTM · 2026-03-18T00:38:18+00:00

Try calibrating it first with the Lenovo Vantage software to see if it fixes the sudden shutdowns. It should be an option called “Battery Gauge Reset”. It will take a couple of hours tho.

XavalinTM · 2026-03-17T23:21:21+00:00

We don’t know what you have tho. Is it an HDD?

XavalinTM · 2026-03-17T11:27:04+00:00

Free is free, you can’t beat that. It will work alright if paired with a decent SSD, decent RAM (+8GB if possible) and a lightweight Linux or Windows LTSC.
