    Solved (approved for RMA): Unbearably Slow PCIe Gen 4 NVME Speeds

    In case anyone stumbles across this thread, Phison issued some new firmware that seems to resolve this issue but only Kingston has released it so far for their E18 based drives. See updated post in https://www.overclock.net/posts/29360727/

    Your CPU progression

    Fun trip down memory lane thinking about this all. Definitely some spots where things slowed or I just didn't see any performance gains to be had with upgrading. 386 (not sure which), hand-me-down in the early 90s 486DX, hand-me-down in the early 90s Pentium 60mhz, mid 90s, hand me down Pentium...

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    Although it wasn't common, if you had two monitor inputs (say a DSUB->BNC for 2D, and another DSUB for 3dfx card), you could use that to avoid the passthrough degradation, I had this for a while with my first setup, Matrox Mystique with a Canopus Voodoo 1. I've had a lot of different video...

    Solved (approved for RMA): Unbearably Slow PCIe Gen 4 NVME Speeds

    I was doing my regularly scheduled scouring to see if any more instances of this issue was starting to pop-up. You may be interested in this long thread: https://www.overclock.net/threads/corsair-mp510-980gb-slooooooooow-with-older-files-like-7-10mb-s-read-speed-slow.1801829/ In particular, it...

    RZ608 Wi-Fi module keeps crashing

    Yes, the AX210NGW from that page is the one you'll want. The 200 could also work. The others are keyed differently as chameleoneel pointed out.

    RZ608 Wi-Fi module keeps crashing

    It's hard to tell from the pictures, but there should be screws to remove the upper part of the IO shield (probably the ones in green below). The screws in red are for the Wi-Fi module. Once you have the module removed, you can open it up and replace the standard m.2 2230 a/e key Wifi card...

    Graphics Card Autopsy - MSI 980 Ti "Golden Edition"

    Sure, I recently moved far from Austin but would be happy to mail it to you for knowledge and thread's sake if there's interest. I would describe the current state as similar to this past post...

    Graphics Card Autopsy - MSI 980 Ti "Golden Edition"

    The MSI 970 and 980 ti (gaming and lightning) seem to use the same layout Twin Frozr cooler but they are based on the same non-reference design. The hybrid MSI 980 ti, if you mean the "sea hawk" uses a reference design so I don't think the twin frozr will fit the rest of the board correctly...

    Graphics Card Autopsy - MSI 980 Ti "Golden Edition"

    Interesting. I wonder if it scales reporting, lowering cap to 80% maybe reports 64%? I can test it out if you’re tired of it 😀 In any case, I really appreciate that you got it running again! Let me know when/where is convenient for you to meet.

    SF750 issues on new Ryzen build

    What GPU are you using with this new build? Reminds me of something I read on jonnyguru forums about certain newer PSUs having issues with certain GPUs (I think it was seasonic and radeons though) Can you try a different/older GPU for kicks?

    Graphics Card Autopsy - MSI 980 Ti "Golden Edition"

    Well “works” sure beats how it was 😀 Ah, good use of the square shaped mount holes. I think I’ve seen a repair video use a Morpheus II vertically the same way. But do the chokes get hot this way? If I recall, MSI used a thermal pad strip to make contact from the heatsink to the chokes on...

    Graphics Card Autopsy - MSI 980 Ti "Golden Edition"

    Fair enough, let's go "big" then! I was curious about whether intense testing would just burn the next components down the line but it seems more productive to try replacing any suspect parts first. I'm driving displays with an old GTX 660 I dug out (though the GTX 560 is still kicking too)...

    Graphics Card Autopsy - MSI 980 Ti "Golden Edition"

    Razorwind, do you have a recommendation or intuitive guess here? Would replacing the known bad FET along with the next FET and the phase doubler IC all in one move be a kind of gambit fix? Otherwise, my gut inclination would be if the reference design 980 ti is 6+2 phases then I could probably...

    Graphics Card Autopsy - MSI 980 Ti "Golden Edition"

    Yes that’s one of them. I may have also been thinking of a German one that happens to also be a MSI 980 Ti having an issue with one of those mosfets.

    Graphics Card Autopsy - MSI 980 Ti "Golden Edition"

    There’s a Russian repair video on YouTube with one of those front mosfets needing replacement. The q502 AON7403 mosfets on the back I thought were common to burn out. I think I read some reddit threads for those going bad on EVGA cards. Interestingly the card died overnight just idle on my PC...
