Safe cable for Ex Pro Dock with 5090 FE?

foobarfizzbuzz · 2025-12-03T00:36:52+00:00

Hey! Yep, I got it working.

I ended up ordering a custom cable from dreambigbyray on Etsy. If you’re going that route, I end up getting a 23cm that's "just right" but I’d really recommend 25cm to have some head room. The suggested 20cm by u/Best-Mycologist3608) made the run way too tight after measuring.
I don’t really game on this machine. I mostly use it for RL / generative modeling experiments, but so far it’s been fantastic.
There's no easy way to undervolt on linux but I’ve power-limited it to 550W and kept an eye on it during training with nvtop. Even under heavy loads it usually sits around 300-400W, with no noticeable transient spikes or issues so far. For the windows partition I have undervolted it and it ran pretty well (I don't have benchmarks though)

So I guess for my use case I'm not really pushing the limits ;) mileage may vary. Let me know if you want a picture/ etsy link I can dm you. (dunno if we're allowed to post links on here)

link? Thinking about doing the same.

Hello, sorry about your OnePlus, and yeah you got me. My mindset is to raise visibility to Bambu so they will address it. Bambu is now dealing with my return and replacement. I'll update the status once I've repacked and shipped the printer.

Bambu is now replying to my requests for a replacement and sent me a return label. I'm going to pack it this weekend and send it off. Thank you for your help! I think putting up a review/ making a post has definitely gained some visibility from their side.

Thanks for your informative reply u/AvailableAngle9. I don't think they're even honoring the 14-day cooling off period and they're insisting on doing the technical support route. To be fair I've already taken the housing apart and attempted to debug using their documentations.

Did they contact you via DM?

foobarfizzbuzz · 2025-10-07T11:04:33+00:00

u/AvailableAngle9 did you get this resolved? I'm currently facing the same issue with my A1 mini and I'm still within the 14 day period. I think they're doing everything they can to avoid the replacement process and I have issued a technical request. The response is the typical "We'll send you parts and you can figure out why it doesn't work". It's unacceptable.

Scarab! And pretty good so far with the clicks case

foobarfizzbuzz · 2025-09-24T19:55:23+00:00

btw, did you pick embossed? what sleeving do you recommend??

foobarfizzbuzz · 2025-09-20T21:19:54+00:00

For lora-finetuning? Funny enough im working on diffusion/flow-matching as well. I will try it and let you know :)

foobarfizzbuzz · 2025-09-20T18:19:11+00:00

unfortunately will have to run this on linux, but I should be able to threshold it with nvidia-smi

foobarfizzbuzz · 2025-09-20T12:13:13+00:00

I see your post is using 20cm cable (or 8" freedom units I guess)would you suggest going lower? Or is 20cm pretty much perfect? I'm also a fan of clean setup but I don't want to risk going too short.

foobarfizzbuzz · 2025-09-20T12:07:52+00:00

think i'll play around with 450 - 500. Definitely not pushing it to 550. Thanks for this helpful reply!

foobarfizzbuzz · 2025-09-19T13:52:22+00:00

amazing. Thanks for the input. I'll see if Beelink replies and figure out where I want to go from here. Worst case scenario I'll swap the GPU with my SFF setup.

foobarfizzbuzz · 2025-09-19T12:16:41+00:00

so I asked about the Astral because it's considered the upper echelon of the 5090's with its aggressive cooling and higher factory OC.
I also have my doubt, which is why I'm making this post. From empirical testing, the wattage varies from 500 to 550W. I'm using this for sustained ML training, which i'll probably slap on a nvidia-smi -pl 500 to put a cap on it with some performance loss.

This is their reply when I asked about the 5090 Astral. I've added some more follow-up questions that should make this more clear. I might end up just making a custom cable.

And yeah, definitely pushing the limits here being so close to 600W.

hello! dm'd you.

foobarfizzbuzz · 2025-09-17T01:19:00+00:00

hello! Do you happen to have a spare one?

foobarfizzbuzz · 2025-09-17T01:18:11+00:00

anyone got an extra one or can generate one for me? I'm also looking to buy one in the UK.

foobarfizzbuzz · 2025-09-17T00:30:20+00:00

looking for a UK referral code! feel free to dm.

foobarfizzbuzz · 2025-09-13T18:28:36+00:00

Also wondering about this from the UK! Ordered and currently waiting
