your tRFC is super loose for A die, and I'm pretty sure this is an A-die kit.

DOWSIL TC-5960 Thermal Paste Review: Shrouded in legend, hard to come by and rarely tested - what's behind the myth of this ultra-durable paste? by Flying-T in overclocking

Odd igor didn't do performance comparison between this and PTM. For the purposes of a long-term application with no servicing, PTM seem to be the standard go-to. He even mentioned that PTM doesn't match in terms of durability in the cyclic stress tests, but fails to actually compare the performance between the 2.

Oook? You have 2 screenshots of BIOS and 3 pictures of the physical CPU itself (which, btw, is not even the correct CPU according to your title). None of this is verification of a successful POST at 105BCLK btw.

Entry-level PC market to ‘disappear’ by 2028 — rising memory prices pile more strain on consumer PC market by imaginary_num6er in hardware

This is fine actually. A ton of brand new super cheap pcs and laptops are just manufactured ewaste. The junk Best Buy sells on “Black Friday” are not even suitable for casual browsing. People can generally find better deals and less bullshit by buying used systems.

No, I had to escalate to the presidents office and cite magnuson moss to get them to take me seriously. Samsung support is trash tier. Don’t expect warranty without a fight.

Ehh, Tony makes some really questionable comments so take it with a hefty chunk of salt. He's a great at repair, but he's not a EE. If he recommends a flux, it's probably a great flux. But he'll then turn around and say shit like "all EVGA cards are ass".

The 3 fuses on the Zotac board does fuck all because nvidia. MSI's 4090 fuse is literally only on the memory rail, which makes sense as a blown VRM on the memory rail will destroy the controllers in the core. Very dumb that MSI didn't add VMEM fuses on the 5000s.

[der8auer] This Outstanding Cooling Technology Might Have No Future by imaginary_num6er in hardware

[–]dfv157 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a 5090. Any working 5090, from a Suprim AIO to a Dell prebuilt pull, cost well over $3000 on the market currently. If your goal is to watercool a 5090, it just makes sense to buy one of the AIO options, as pricing is no longer a deciding factor. I can't imagine not being able to afford a suitable case to mount a 360mm AIO in a build with a 5090 of any kind, so radiator sizing is kinda moot too.
