I am having issues with this machine locking up on me. I am running stock clock CPU, I've tested all of my RAM individually with memtest86+, there was an error once but I pulled all sticks out, put 1 stick in, ran the test, passed. Added the 2nd stick, passed, 3rd stick, passed, 4th stick...

Several things I want to add. In order for me to run a full size, 120mm fan on the rear 120x120mm radiator as well as the upper 120x360mm radiator, I need a slim fan that is no more than 15mm thick. I ordered two of these from AliExpress. I will take pictures after they arrive and I get them...

Some pictures of the board.. . . . Installed in my Mini Tower . Yours truly.. . . Hoses and other plumbing connected. The dye helps detect leaks (I know most of you on this forum are already familiar with this) . Laid on the side to bleed out air . Another angle . I poured the fluid out...

Fast forward 4 years... July 12, 2024: I began to notice that my 3x480GB NVMe SSD RAID0 array was slow, so I ran benchmarks using the same application I ran before. Indicative of one (or more) failing SSDs. Knowing I've got just under a year left of their 5 year warranty, I opted to replace...

I had not realized that I never updated this thread, despite the fact that I took the pictures to do so. In June 2020, I wound up dumping X299 in favor for that X399M MicroATX board that I mentioned. Motherboard: ASRock X399M Taichi CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X RAM: 2x G.Skill 2x8GB...

Who needs a new Logitech G600 when you can just get Logitech G Apparel ? I wish I were making this up.

You're whining and you're just mad because you're on the outside looking in. Get some more self awareness and learn how marketing works. You are just an end user consumer. You have to be worth a lot more money to Nvidia for them to care. JayZ and Linus are tabloidal celebrities of the gaming...

Just ordered mine lol

?????? The only assumption that I made is that there are 64 shaders per CU (Compute Unit), which is consistent with all the AMD GPUs that I've seen here beginning with RX 400 series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#Radeon_R5/R7/R9_300_series Here's the...

If 80 CUs, then that's 5120 shaders, and lets say 2200 MHz. That would result in... 2 * 5120 * 2200 * 10^(-3) = 22528.0 GFLOPs (Single Precision). That's about 10% less than RTX 3080's single precision GFLOPs (25067.5).

Yep. This is exactly what I'm encountering. It's annoying.

Figured I'd go over this. I looked again. Interestingly enough, I came across this: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=RTL8811AU I wonder if this implies that we can use this to find the latest windows drivers for other various devices.

I got the RAID0 working with the software application. I ran the tests and was underwhelmed by the performance advantages. I returned everything to amazon. The literature and documentation about VROC is ridiculously inconclusive. There were things that I was able to do that the documentation...

I received an email indicating that the Heatkiller SW-X 80 DIY Nickel was back in stock with a US based seller. So I ordered it, along with some other compression fittings. So I plan on tearing down my loop within the next week or two, and installing the thing as a MOSFET cooler.

It's been years since I've bought plastigauges! Very clever idea. I ordered 1.0g of Phobya liquid metal last summer. I wasn't ready to use it at the time, and I later thought it was lost during a move. So I went to order it again, and only the 0.5g tube was available, so I ordered that. --...

I am not lapping the CPU die. I draw the line at that. I will admit that the thermal paste that I am using is not the best (arctic silver, etc). But with the same setup, my i7-5820k @ 4.4GHz with 1.35v, would not exceed 65c.

I'm not about to try lapping my CPU die. That's crazy talk. My CPU waterblock is very smooth and flat. I wetsanded it with fresh 5000 grit.

CPU appears to work 'fine'. -- Or at least, how it worked before I delidded. I have thoroughly cleaned my cooling system. I have tore down my CPU and GPU waterblocks, and I cleaned the microfins. I replaced several o-rings, and spent a considerable amount of time cleaning my cooling system. I...

I ran my i7-5820K @ 4.4GHz with 1.35v vcore with Einstein@Home running on all cores. Never got above 65c on water. So far this x99 -> x299 jump has been very underwhelming. What kind of problems were people encountering with one of those de-lid guards?

What's the fun in completing a high performance build if I'm not able to infuse immense drama into it? :D

Thank you for posting this benchmark. Mind sharing some more specs about the system, motherboard, etc? I actually thought about this a good bit yesterday. I updated my build thread with some of my thoughts; BenseBuilt Liquid-cooled MicroATX Mini Workstation / Riser Card Research / X99 / X299...

My next plans for this build entail purchasing a pair of 512 GB M.2 NVMe SSDs, and striping them together to form a fast RAID0 volume. I haven't yet decided on the XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB ($100) or the WD Black M.2 NVMe 500GB ($120). I would prefer the WD, but with the current price disparity...

These threads pertain to this build: * Dell M.2 NVMe PCIe adapters - (Created Aug 25, 2018) - PCIe M.2 NVMe RAID adapters, as well as some M.2 NVMe SSD discussion. * i7-7800x Delidding Catastrophe? Resoldering micro resistors? (Created Feb 4, 2019) - Me foolishly knocking off a capacitor while...

Exactly. I guess I should mention that I am a mechanical engineer and I use solidworks, autocad, and inventor to design transmission parts. That's one of the compelling reasons as to why I'd be interested in something like RAID0 on two M.2 NVMe SSDs. I can buy two 512GB of the WD Black or the...

I'm trying to read up on this intel bootable raid SSD limitation. So if I understand this correctly, if I were to get two of these AData SX8200 NVMe M.2 SSDs, install them in both of my on-board M.2 slots, I wouldn't be able to stripe them in RAID0 and boot from it? -- And the only way to stripe...

I've noticed that my Koolance CPU-370si waterblock needs to be cleaned. I haven't disassembled it yet, as I would like to get replacement o-rings from koolance. They do not have this waterblock listed in their O-ring Comparisons Table that they have on their website. I've tried contacting them...

Sorry for the delayed response. While my friend had my CPU, I began to wonder if the reason it hadn't posted before was because there wasn't sufficient 'clasping' pressure being exerted on the CPU in it's socket when I had inserted it without the IHS. So, after I got it back, I installed it...

Surely the insight that this thread has provided you in ensuring that your astronomically priced CPU is worth ample payment. Let me know when you are ready for my paypal address ;)

Still waiting for parts to arrive from China. My friend said they may be in as soon as Friday.

Thank you for the reply thuttu77. About two hours after my friend told me they were 5ohm, I sent him the URL that capt_cope was kind enough to share, and asked which size I should order. He responded: 'Already on it. They are actually 1uF capacitors' Here are the two pics he sent me: . ...

He was able to get the two caps back on, There is in fact a resistor missing. He said he measured all them up there, and that they were all 5 ohms. Where do I even order these things?

New AData XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD has my attention. Here is a review of it. Below are the updated prices of the WD Black AData SX8200 Pro M.2 NVMe SSDs 1024 GB - $210 - 3350 MB/s - 2800 MB/s --- $0.21 / GB 512 GB - $108 - 3350 MB/s - 2350 MB/s --- $0.21 / GB 256 GB - $70 - 3350 MB/s -...

I installed it back in my motherboard just to see if it would POST. It did not. Lol. I dropped it off at at my friend's place last night. Here's a picture that shows the resistor near the die that I may have knocked off: A closer view: I'm nervous. :/

Booya: https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/2961-intel-i9-7900x-review-benchmarks-game-streaming-vr-premiere?showall=1 Okay, so next issue: It looks like I knocked loose a smd closer to the die. see bottom right of the die in the above pictures. Hopefully, I can get this resolved. It's...

$11 ebay tool. It was not the delidding tool that knocked it off. I noticed the chip before I began the process. I took extra care to ensure that the tool did not interfere with this chip. What got me was the q-tip / removing the adhesive material.

As luck has it, my best friend messaged me today telling me about his new engineering job. Said that he spent his entire day soldering with his micro soldering station. So that gives me hope that I will be able to fix this. Apparently, that black chip is an RFID chip that's not used on i7...
