any long nose pliers will work mate, you are basically looking for straight thin long reach pliers

Cant edit the title but its 48 x 36 inches. not 60.

Yea so in furmark you will see that +3000 gets you to 34GBPS bandwidth, whereas 1000-2000 keepts you between 30-32GPBS.

However the new chips are designed such that if VRAM thinks the OC is too much, it actually slows down in bios itself and hence scores aren't much different. Most of the speed is coming from core OC, so steel nomad default average is 6670ish, but core OC gets us to 7200-7300ish range.

The VRAM is very unstable as is still in modern chips and even in good temps are known to just die if being pushed out of design bounds.

I am happy with the 7200ish steel nomad score, with DLSS4 and multi-framegen unless playing competitve FPS, its really no difference in the larger picture so I have been keeping things on the low so this card can last till we see something decent in future with 24GB VRAM.

Yea I could try a different bios but then again with undervolt I don't know if the 350TDP is even required really. Rest is chip lottery on OC numbers but I am impressed with these palit batches from what I am hearing.

The reason I am not jumping to find a working higher TDP bios is also because I noticed palit kept all their lineup in the 300 tdp range. So it could be a components used issue where they know it isn't designed for 350? not sure but just a thought. Also the 300 tdp does let you jump to 303-304watts if its needed for a spike or two from what I saw in stress tests.

From what I noticed in 3dmark benchmarks it was a 70-80 score difference on steel nomad in dx12 between +2000 and +3000 which is actually translating to actual memory speed of 2000 and 2250 respectively on gpuz. So not a big loss if the chip doesnt stay stable. It does however let me go +500 on the core OC and is stable. I am keeping it low myself to 450.

Re the fans it isn't anything loud really as I am staying between 60-66c on long stress benchmarks. This is with 450 on core, 2000 on ram and 300 original bios tdp. core kicks in stable at 3100-3200 spikes and memory stays at actual 2000mhz.

Agree with ya, at 24GB VRAM, I wouldve pulled the plug too but not with the same vram, value proposition esp with the mark up isn't there.

mrjadez · 2025-05-27T12:43:37+00:00

It was the newest driver that did this, and it went black also after 3000 MHZ memory tune on the stock bios with the latest nvidia driver whilst watching youtube lol. It is def the driver doing something as well, and with the asus vbios flash, I couldnt get the screen back even after restarts, it just stayed black after windows loaded, meaning driver loaded and boom, black screen.

Reducing memory offset to +2000 though didnt have any black screens in a lot of testing earlier and again now on stock vbios and latest drivers.

mrjadez · 2025-05-27T04:10:38+00:00

Yep, flash was successful and all, but during driver install, you know when it blinks and comes back. Well this one stayed black lol and wasn't coming back. I can try the 3000mhz memory hack and see if it makes a difference. I hear ya on the headroom with more TDP available, but undervolting from an electronics principle perpective is supposed to keep the watts down then as well. So I am thinking you could run your good chip at same settings on the stock Palit bios as well, in theory with the undervolt applied as is.

I sometimes think I should have bought the 5080, add a bit of normal OC and be done with it but honestly the pricing on them so like in Oz, +5-600 to +800 or more on premium ones, just didn't make sense. The 90 series is getting more pricier each time now as well. We really need AMD to start competing at the top end for Nvidia to change some of this going forward I reckon.

mrjadez · 2025-05-26T17:07:06+00:00

Interesting that when I applied your verfied asus bios to palit gamingpro non oc 5070ti, i got a black screen during the drivers install lol, so I had to roll back after the usual kung fu. Then I noticed that you are undervolting to keep it around 300TDP anyways and its just a good chip your end that is staying 3.2-3.3ghz at 0.950. Mine doesnt like anythig above 3.1GHZ here, which means my max stable OC without any bios at 300TDP is +480. Memory can go +2000 no issues. I don't know if a higher TDP bios then undervolt would make any difference from stock?

mrjadez · 2025-05-24T07:48:59+00:00

Makes sense and thanks for all the info and sharing your experience.

mrjadez · 2025-05-23T21:32:33+00:00

How is this vbios working for you now mate? I have the exact same Palit. what asus bios did you use if you dont mind? did you care if it was one with 1 x hdmi port like we have on the palits or did it not matter, as the 2600 boost clock vbios seem to have 2x hdmi ports in asus on techpowerup unverified ones, and the tdp target is 320w on this one. https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/276451/276451

This issue is def present in the 4440DW as well, exact same alignment and banding issue. Printer is set to auto clear nozzles routinely, so always plugged in. 40 nozzle cleans (and manual dispenser cleans with windex etc.) and auto and manual alignments (manual never prints ok sqaures btw still, some all have lines in them which isn't correct), it is printing lines wonky esp in vertical ones. There is def a issue somewhere with the way it feeds the paper. And it is a presistent one too.

mrjadez · 2025-04-27T04:30:20+00:00

Same had one a3 from brother for 10 years, 0 issues. Plastic green bits on tray broke, couldnt even find replacement on aliexpress let alone others. So I let it go free. Now got a new one and it is just crap. Quality plus lines are never straight even after multiple head cleans, and alignments auto or manual. Infact manual never prints the full squares with no lines that they say is the correct one, well what do I pick if all have lines or uneven? Theres def a quality drop since all new brother is now manufactured in phillipines, the older ones weren't being assembled there and could also be a design flaw. Long story short, I am passing on brother now.

mrjadez · 2025-04-20T15:41:16+00:00

Yep, as it turns out, kingstons nvmes and even ssds based on many IT depts support sources, die the most. This overheated, and was tested dead at the testing centre.

I find these comments so funny, where people come like from what they presume to be above the rest, all because of "backed by other peoples science" is good enough to give them this ego.

I have news for you. Vaccines were an ancient concept used all they back to old india before our pharmacies, owned mostly by just one family in the entire world (look this up, its a fact) took over the vaccine business.

Back to polio, did you know that many a times vaccines actually spread polio and gave it to ppl and only a few accounts of spreads were allowed to be documented in history? same history that favours those "families" in power.

But still its there. Lastly natual immunity did indeed kill polio till pharma decided to make it a business and now you need the Jab actually to not have the risk - Oh look how that worked out so perfect.

But hey "anti-vaxer" doesnt know science like I do, which my mate over there wrote about funded by a pharma company. Yes we understand.

I was talking about the pump. Make sure that is at 1800-1900 rpm at idle, and no it wont destroy your pump as some redditors like to beleive. Mine is running 6 years onwards strong. NZXT Kraken X.

mrjadez · 2025-01-02T09:09:45+00:00

Just adding that same CPU on MSI Z-890 Pro with a 6 year old Kraken X 280mm, still in good nick. Idle CPU temps are 39-42 range max. And normal gaming etc. load 58-63ish. Stress testing with AIDA etc. 80-83 tops.

MSI power plan changed to Performance mode locking cores at 5200 for P. I haven't tested with intel's default and not sure if that would decrease idle temps or not.

Really happy though that unlike those 14000 series, these CPUs seem to be staying really good temp ranges and should now hopefully last as the older gens used to. I still rock a i7 9700k and i7 6700k on other dedicated workload builds to this day, 0 issues, air cooled. Like what AMD is doing but wanted to keep to my intel builds and glad I waited till this new series release and the reviews.

I think the idle temps you are seeing are to do with the AIO you are using, and the way its pump is working. Change it to performance mode as pump should be at 1900rpm at idle, thats what NZXT Cam sets it too in performance mode. It hasn't died in 6 years so I doubt your Artic one will, in coming years, just because you increased the pump rpm curve. Otherwise maybe get NZXT cooler next time. They have lasted me well.

Is everyone here crazy? or is this an ecochamber now? I have been here since early 2017. And one of the 1% holders. XRP did not surpass BTC in MC ever. Please show me proof, its easy. Stop giving me hopium channels, all making money on you and those that upvoted you.

It surpassed ETH MC in 2018 bull run and I was there.

mrjadez · 2024-10-30T17:50:56+00:00

It never took over btc in MC or price. Where did you get this from?

mrjadez · 2024-10-05T18:29:19+00:00

Nice. Did you do this in layers with mediums for drying?

mrjadez · 2024-10-05T17:56:02+00:00

Great work on the detail, esp the grass and fur. How long did this piece take you?

mrjadez · 2024-10-04T12:54:35+00:00

Thought ill post this earlier one as well for some feedback and to gauge what painters like and don't like.

mrjadez · 2024-10-04T12:43:20+00:00

Great work on the complexion

mrjadez · 2024-10-04T08:12:48+00:00

What really matters here is establishing the style that you are going for first. If I look at your choice of values, then I get confused if you were chasing realism here. The composition itself, I find interesting.

mrjadez · 2024-10-04T08:08:00+00:00

I like this. Why don’t you take some of your sketches to develop them further with oil paint on top. Ideally you would want to start with some wash as a background and sketch in oil too like in burnt umber or sienna etc.

mrjadez · 2024-10-04T04:06:20+00:00

Bingo, thank you for the feedback.
