    Nintendo will take your Switch 2 offline forever if you use a Mig flash cartridge

    Glad you took some time out of blocking traffic to respond here. Wii being easier to pirate than Switch 1 doest’t mean it was the most pirated. This logical fallacy applies to virtually your entire rebuttal. Or maybe it’s your own home brewed version of mental gymnastics.

    Nintendo will take your Switch 2 offline forever if you use a Mig flash cartridge

    You keep responding to people saying it makes no sense. Seems everyone is understanding each other and you’re the odd one out. That’s a pretty gigantic clue, you’re the problem. I’ve run into your type many times. Complaining about corporations making money. Mad at people for having disposable...

    Nintendo will take your Switch 2 offline forever if you use a Mig flash cartridge

    kinda like the 2 or 3 people who defend being dishonest crooks, get offended because they recognize themselves as dishonest crooks, and erect a long winded post shaming others for paying for goods and services. You probably call riots, peaceful protests too. You’ll be broke for the rest of your...

    Nintendo will take your Switch 2 offline forever if you use a Mig flash cartridge

    It's aggressive... if you want to try and get away with it but want a 2nd chance if you get caught. I also think the claim of being banned for using the name "Twink Link" is dubious. More to the story IMO

    Any tangible benefits to PBO on a 9950x3d?

    I figured out how to lower LED intensity. Instead of inputting 255 across the board for RGB, i have it set to 100 across the board. Still gives me white light just not as bright. Light intensity is now more uniform with all the other white LED's in the case and i'm hovering around 43C instead of 50C

    https://youtu.be/KjyTBEt-Up4 So here it is. I sped up the video shortly after clicking "apply" DRAM temp went from 37 to 47 after 5 minutes. Got up to and settled in at 50 while I was editing the video.

    These are the brightest RGB DIMMs ive ever owned and I don’t see an option to turn down brightness on them like I do on my board and GPU. I’ll try to get a video posted today showing the temps rising after turning them on.

    Following up on the memory temps. My warmest one was at 50C with RGB on and set to white. Dropped to 40C within 3 minutes of turning RGB off.

    Any tangible benefits to PBO on a 9950x3d?

    I’ve only played Doom Dark Ages which seemed to perform well and a couple 3D mark benchmarks which put me right where I should be for my hardware. It was mostly if not entirely, COD causing me grief, but it’s the game I play most so it was kinda a big deal. No, clean install with 24h2 right...

    It was left alone, until just now. I've never messed with it until now to try and fix the issue. I only know of it's existence through troubleshooting my issues for the last week or so.

    Any tangible benefits to PBO on a 9950x3d?

    I'm cautiously optimistic the issue has been resolved. As of now, it seems all my problems, both performance and stability was due to the thread renderer count in the COD config file. Setting it to 8 from 16 has, as of this post, resolved my COD performance and stability issues with this new...

    Any tangible benefits to PBO on a 9950x3d?

    Another update I disabled CCD1 and just kept CCD0 (vcache ccd) enabled, essentially mimicking a 9800x3d. I also went into my COD config file and set the thread renderer count to 8 (it was at 16) played for about and hour with no crashing and smooth gameplay. Next i'll re-enable both CCD's but...

    Any tangible benefits to PBO on a 9950x3d?

    ok, a little update Still at a loss on the performance/stability issues. I tried each RAM stick individually but COD would still have moments where it would hang for 2+ seconds. Sometimes it would recover, other times not. I also tried running CL32 instead of 30 to no avail. So my sticks do...

    Any tangible benefits to PBO on a 9950x3d?

    MCLK and UCLK both at 3000 with FCLK at 2000 is what I have and what the board set everything to by enabling EXPO. It's entirely possible I have a bad stick though. Troubleshooting that next. Is DDR5 supposed to run hot? Both sticks were almost too hot to handle when I pulled one out.

    Any tangible benefits to PBO on a 9950x3d?

    I think this new rig as more going on than initially thought. COD locks up randomly with or without process lasso. it does it with PBO enabled, or disabled. Half the time it recovers from the lockup half the time it does not. I know it's not a defective CPU since this is the 2nd one. I know my...

    BO6 mostly. It’s silky smooth when I use process lasso and disable game mode in windows. If I let it do its thing sometimes it’s smooth sometimes it’s not. And interestingly enough. I had no microstutter with the 5900x

    Any tangible benefits to PBO on a 9950x3d?

    This hybrid approach is still a hot mess. I don’t know how bad it was with the 7950x3d but even with the touted improvements it’s not nearly as seamless as balanced mode and CPPC set to driver with game bar installed. I ran some tests doing it that way, then tried disabling game mode and using...

    Alrighty, so I got my RMA replacement and..... same issues COD randomly locking up and when it wasn't, i had inconsistent framerates.... so now the real troubleshooting needed to start. Ran several 3DMark benchmarks, with sound enabled just incase it had something to do with the onboard audio...

    Any tangible benefits to PBO on a 9950x3d?

    I only used it to monitor load and frequencies after I noticed the strange behavior. BIOS is reset awaiting RMA replacement. Back to my trusty 5900x for now. Sure glad I went with an all new case and SSD. Didn’t feel like ripping out my 1200w PSU and 4090 from the new case so I recalled my...

    Any tangible benefits to PBO on a 9950x3d?

    Well after some further testing, it seems i may have a defective 9950x3d. I only did some very preliminary 3dmark tests when I said "performance seems good" but after running some games, something was defiantly off. Peak framerates were barely higher than my 5900x and smoothness was...

    Any tangible benefits to PBO on a 9950x3d?

    I bit the bullet and finally upgraded (still need to update sig) and wondering if I should enable PBO? I have EXPO enabled, performance seems good, stability seems good. I’m happy with temps, even while gaming or running cinebemch multi thread loop, fans are pretty quiet. If I’m leaving a ton of...

    BIOS suggestions for 9950x3d

    Later this evening, pending delivery of the rest of my components I’ll begin my 9950x3d build using a MSI MPG B850 Edge TI WiFi Motherboard. What are some best practice BIOS settings for optimal performance? I’m not really interested in overclocking beyond EXPO and PBO

    5950x locks up in bios

    I’ve only seen this happen if you actually make bios changes with RM. if only used as a fancy looking monitoring app, a simple uninstall should suffice.

    5950x locks up in bios

    Could also be the board. In my 3+ decades of PC building I’ve only had one CPU failure. When not over clocked they’re probably the single most reliable component

    5090 in stock and it looks like it is staying in stock

    “That price though” is precisely why it likely won’t have better resale. It may sell for a higher dollar amount but it will also lose a larger percentage of its value.

    5950x locks up in bios

    I would check the Mobo manufacturer site to see if there’s a more updated bios than what you’re running. May fix the issue.

    Any Zen 3 users holding out for Zen 6?

    Latency issues are actually worse on Zen 5 than on Zen 3 and 4. Truthfully I can’t tell you if I’m bothered by it. When I do upgrade i may be blown away and not realized what I was missing, as was the case when I first went from 60hz to 144hz 9950x3d is the only CPU I’d consider. The couple...

    Any Zen 3 users holding out for Zen 6?

    Depends on your definition of adequate. Right now I’m playing COD and Doom DA for the most part. Im getting 80-100 fps in doom and well over 100 in COD. Is it saturating my GPU? No, but it seems adequate. As far as what devs are targeting, if that was my bar, this thread wouldn’t exist. I’m...

    Any Zen 3 users holding out for Zen 6?

    I hear you on upgrades. Normally it would be a no brainer for me except for a couple things I’m not exactly starved for performance even though I know I’ll see an uptick. More importantly though is GPU upgrade path. If the high end GPU market doesn’t improve, it makes ore sense to buy a...

    Upgrade itch is hitting me after seeing the 9950x3d perform better than expected and experience fewer issues related to core parking/dual CCD's than it's predecessors. I keep adding it to cart and letting it linger until it goes OOS, then i'm like "man, I should've ordered it" couple weeks later...

    DOOM: The Dark Ages

    With so many publishers having their own launchers, I purchase very little from steam these days even if it’s available in steam since you often still need to have the publishers launcher installed and running even if not purchased there.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages

    Went even lower end. Lowest end hardware I have that's actually assembled R7 2700 @ 4GHz RX 6700XT 1080p display Ran high preset with FSR quality While it managed around 60 fps, the frame times were not good and felt like constant micro stutter. Image quality was also kinda crappy.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages

    Was getting between 44-60 fps during the main battle sequence at the end of chapter 1. 3440x1440 DLSS quality, high preset. CPU was marginally more limiting than GPU at these settings but it was pretty well balanced for the most part.
