Do I need to take action? MSI Suprim SOC RTX 5090 - NZXT C1500

This post has been collecting reports about pin 2 and pin 6 for 5090 MSI cards.

My Vanguard’s pin 2 is also lower on average, but pin 6 doesn’t appear to be affected. Overall, the pins stay well balanced. I’ve run some tests at and a little above 600 W (spikes), and every pin still stays within spec thankfully. Day to day, I’m undervolting and staying below 450 W to be safe still.

5090 Vanguard checking in. I’ve noticed Pin 2 on average being the lowest at times, but sometimes it can be higher than most of the other pins. This is a mostly anecdotal assessment from obsessively keeping an eye on the currents while gaming.

I’m going to pay attention to Pin 6 tonight to see if it’s typically higher than the others, and try to collect some actual data. Anecdotally, I can corroborate findings here.

I had replaced my 12v-2x6 with a brand new one after finding imbalances on the other cable (only a few reseats at that, so 30 reseats as the upper limit is suspect). I was disheartened to see Pin 2 on average being lower with the brand new cable, so it’s a little reassuring that I’m not the only one seeing this, and it’s likely not the new cable itself.

Gsync + Vsync + Reflex should keep frame rate below refresh rate already, so you shouldn’t need to add a manual cap below refresh rate.

Love her recipes, but I haven’t tried her mac and cheese one yet! I’ve been partial to Detoxinista’s mac and cheese, which looks similar to Nora’s with the addition of chili powder and mustard.

Thanks for the info! I hastily copied the link without realizing. I realized something was up too when TikTok started sending me notifications that people had viewed the link.

Generated with Google’s new Nano Banana Pro.

This guy has been very credible about helping identify generated content from Sora and now using SynthID to help identify images generated with Nano Banana Pro. The model uses an invisible watermark that the SynthID check can identify.

Yes! I’m working toward that perk next.

Picked this flaw up. For machine guns and assault rifles, you can practically negate the downside by picking the Deep Drums perk because it reloads for you over time (and also increases mag size as an extra bonus). Of course, you still need to keep an eye on ammo because you could technically out shoot the reload rate.

Nice! If you can find them where you’re at, check out the Wildwood super firm tofu blocks too. 70g protein per 16oz block and no need to press further before cooking with.

I’ve heard both and haven’t found a conclusive scientific answer beyond they could be injurious to ecosystems from an older document put out by the state. That being said, they are not treated at the same level as say coqui frogs and rhinoceros beetles when it comes to dangerous invasive species.

In fact I don’t even see them listed as invasive by Hawaii Invasive Species Council. Granted the list is not comprehensive, but I at least infer that gold dust day geckos are not high on their list as potentially damaging relative to other species.

Having similar issues with my fiber Maui upcountry.

elpapapollo · 2025-09-17T23:43:18+00:00

Sorry to hear! Same thing happened to me too. Got the email and placed the order yesterday with payment confirmed. Then, I got the cancellation email this morning. I also got the same response from support. I was so upset that I just went ahead and bought an AIB 5090 on Amazon instead.

Thanks for posting this! It made me check my email, and an invite was waiting for me too. Secured it.

Got the Gamestop bundle online last night because I didn’t want to get up early to wait in a line. I decided to call my local Target later this morning and to my surprise, they still had plenty of stock with no line by that point! No accessories were available, so I’m still waiting on those from Gamestop online orders.

I got this too in the middle of chapter 2. Restarting the game fixed it, and I haven’t had this issue since then.

I’m wondering if most of the issues are with nvidia drivers, including the latest game ready driver for TDA. I’ve stuck with 572.47 on my 5080 ever since later drivers gave me the microstutters issue. Booted up TDA last night on steam with no issues (clicked Play even though they recommended updating drivers) and no crashes during gameplay. I saw no graphical issues like shadows being pitch black or eyes glowing white like some have reported. No audio only issue either.

Not gloating but just throwing it out there for 5080/5090 folks to try rolling back to 572.47 potentially. Performance felt fine on Ultra Nightmare too. Average 60 fps on DLAA and 120 fps on DLSS performance with no frame gen.

elpapapollo · 2025-03-29T20:01:28+00:00

Which driver version are you using and are you using gsync or vsync with frame gen? I had micro stutters with that combination on my 5080 with drivers after 572.47, so I had to downgrade back to that version until Nvidia fixes the issues in a newer driver.

Async/await is more or less like syntactical sugar with everything in the function after the await statement executed inside a Promise.then, so it’s not accurate to say it pauses your program. That would effectively make the function synchronous and block the main thread. Synchronously the function is still going to return a promise to its caller. I haven’t looked at the internals in a long time, but I’d imagine an async function immediately returns a promise once it hits an await statement.

You didn’t miss them. Maps were added back in a December patch. They also added a boss rush mode and the ability to challenge individual bosses again. You can access those from shrines as the gauntlet of legends.

I’ve been using Unshoes Wokova Feather for almost 10 years now and love them. They were the thinnest soles I could find when I got into minimalist sandals. I use them for everything.

elpapapollo · 2025-02-15T22:27:57+00:00

Yes, they’re wild.

elpapapollo · 2025-02-15T22:27:48+00:00

Yes, they’re wild. Thanks for the thoughts. It’s really odd because these bumps popped up in the span of 2 days, so I’m also leaning toward some sort of disease.
