TXE36's latest activity

Well, I think it’s pretty obvious to most people that the connector(s) in conjunction with cheapskate board design, lack of regular design safety margins for current and even some user errors resulting in trashed cables and connectors is...

For the afternoon, this thread would have been absolutely dead if it wasn't for erek's posts...

The 3d cache really helps on open world games. As for core counts, if you already happen to have a 5800X3D, you can run a game on six of the cores and see how it does. If you don't notice a difference, the 5600X3D should run it as well as the...

Pretty much agree only I'm not sure if two plugs are enough without load balancing.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter if it the cable, the connector or because no load balancing.....they are buring because the power delivery circuit is subpar the cable/plug needs more overhead and the vrm probably should be broken up to...

Or it means Nvidia cheaped out and left out load balancers. Or it means someone tried driving 600W through 300W of connectors -- the PCIe 8 pin is rated for 150W. You need four of them to drive a 5090, two is insufficient. Anybody discussing...

Right as an electrician it pisses me off to know that I have to power limit my card in the hope it lasts a few years because the connector is junk. My bet is if you put 100 5090s under full load 24/7 for a year or two most of them would burn...

He'll just say you don't know how to drive a car and the Chrysler you had that inevitably broke down was a quality vehicle in the right hands.

Can you imagine the clown show that would happen if Nvidia tried to get the 5090 UL rated?

Sounds like you’re approaching this from an engineering standpoint, asking logical questions like “why are you redlining the connector so close to maximum design tolerances without doing at least the most basic of things like ensuring proper load...

Any reason you won't answer my question that I've asked a couple of times? How many does it take before you admit it's a problem?

While we will likely never get failure rate data from Nvidia, AMD, PCI-SIG, nor any board partners, a survey taken two (2) years ago found that more people reported 12VHPWR failures in one (1) GPU generation than in seventeen (17) years of 6/8...

Bye, Captain Abrasive.

Well, time and mindless nVidia shills.

Time will be the 5090's biggest enemy.

The failure that is the 12VHPWR connector compared to previous in one picture (that was posted earlier): Note the condition of the four old-school PCIe 8 pin connectors. They were subjected to the exact same load that destroyed that 12VHPWR...

He just ignores everything that contradicts what he wants to believe. He keeps posting one link from GamersNexus saying that if it were an issue, then Youtubers would be talking about it. Meanwhile, GamersNexus HAS talked about it. Many times...

The creator posted it to the Nvidia subreddit a week or so ago. https://github.com/VolterMort/WireViewPro2_MSIAB EDIT - found the original post https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1xal4u0/release_opensource_msi_afterburner_plugin_for/

Good to see it has soft power. If the WireView is good enough, I would use a tight tolerance on Current Balance as a leading indicator. The precise current balance will vary greatly from system to system. However, on any individual system, it...

Auto shutdown can be configured either on the device itself or by software. By the way, all settings are saved on the device so the software doesn't have to be running for it to do its thing. The auto-shutdown configuration options are...
