    Well I gotta say I am impressed with the AXP90-X53. My 12600KF is set up so it will draw ~130-135w for 90 seconds I think? and then it drops down to 95w. The little cooler was kinda angry at first, but at 100% fan speed it was able to keep it hovering around 90C until the TDP cut hit, then it dropped the fan speed a little and was able to keep it in the low-mid 80s.

     

    Hopefully I never have to use it for my PC (I got it because on start up either my AIO or a fan is making a sound that sounds a lot like severe air bubbling), but it's good to know if I need to use the lil guy it will do just fine.

      You're making me so tempted right now to install my Cooler Master Eclipse on my 5800X3D (as long as a cooler uses the AMD retention bracket, you can use some really ancient designs). But the original CM TX3 did better than the Eclipse, while present day the Evo TX3 doesn't come close to my NH-12S - which sees the CPU in the 80's due to it drawing over 100W (I miss ECO mode with my 3700X).

      I reeeeeeeaaaallllllyyyyyy want to get a new CNPS9900MAX for the luls. I don't know where it would end up residing permanently, but I'd love to try it on my 4690K and one of the i7 920's I have.

      I have the Nvidia one of those. However at the time, I missed half of the mounting bracket - as I was allowed to pick through a (not that old) computer shops box of worthless (to them) parts. Picked up some good IDE cables though.

    Good starting point would be alcohol and a toothbrush. If you have a paint brush or some kind of plastic-bristled brush you could also use that to get deeper into the fins.

    If I remember right, Space Engineers used it to pretty good effect, but nothing else comes to mind.

    Well I made an interesting choice. Curiosity finally got the best of me so I ordered an AXP90-X53 Black for my rig. It's completely illogical: I currently have a 280mm AIO that still works just fine and has absolutely zero issue keeping my 12600KF in check, even though the pump AND fans have a super lazy curve... But I just gotta see how it does. In theory it should do great: my CPU is only allowed to draw ~125w for about a minute before it gets cut down to 90w which is right in the little guys TDP range... But we'll see

  5. flibberdipper
    glances at my P3TDDE in pictures from before I dismantled the rig Yeah they probably exist. You have better luck getting a free '24 F-150 Platinum than you do finding a dual S7 board though.
  6. flibberdipper
    Yeah with the right upgrades they're pretty solid. I'd love to get one of the SFF Dell's that has a blower CPU cooler and shove an A2000 into it as well. Should have decent thermals and it'll make fun sounds.
  7. flibberdipper
    Yeah it's either the 6500 or the 6400, I can't remember myself. Realistically the PSU shouldn't be an issue, even with an i7 in there and whatever half-height card you want, be it 1050Ti, 1650, or A2000, you're still not really pushing it all that hard. IIRC this generation moved to a 180w PSU instead of the 210w like my 7010 has, but even then if you assume each one draws 75w you're still at 150w. You'd pretty much have to load it up with internal and USB hard drives to push it over the edge.

    Oh shit it's over now? Guess I can reel the Mac Mini in a little bit so it's not sitting at 75-80C with the fan rippin (still very quietly but). It would be nice to be able to use it again and not have to think about my PPD tanking since it was the only thing I had running for the entire event.

    I just turned on motion blur for the first time…

    flibberdipper replied to LloydLynx's status update

    I'm amused by how surprisingly competent Beam's motion blur is. Depth of field however... That's another story. It looks pretty but holy shit, somehow the camera is more nearsighted than I am lol
  10. flibberdipper
    To be fair though, as long as nothing breaks in a new and comical way, it'll run it surprisingly well. I've got 11 on my capture box which is an OptiPlex 7020 which has a 4590, and it runs super well. Here before long I'll probably clean install my "totally legal torrent ripping box" which is a Precision 3420/i5 6500 to it as well.
  11. flibberdipper
    Yeahhhhh you're not shoving a 6800XT in one of those. An RX 6500 sure, but any full-height cards are an immediate no-go unless you absolutely love janky ass workarounds. Unfortunately it's not even a great deal on a 7050, they typically go for about $200 or less on the second-hand market from what I remember.

    flibberdipper replied to LloydLynx's status update

    Depending on the game I'm totally for motion blur, namely things like racing/driving games and non-competitive games like Starfield.
  13. flibberdipper
    Nice! Yeah if you were just trying to convert an existing install and not nuke it my route would have very much made you upset lol

    Mine is actually best right around the 1900-1950 mark thanks to an undervolt, which is actually the same general range as stock. If I drag it down to "base" it does technically consume like 100-120w instead of 160-180 however it is quiiiiite a bit slower. Most indeedily, and a lot of people get the two mixed up which only adds to the confusion.
  15. flibberdipper
    The hyper-simplified way to think of GPU boost is to think of it as automatic overclocking since that's really all it is. The true base clock on my RTX 2080 (at least per spec) is 1515MHz, yet in-game I don't think I've ever seen it below 1900 unless I have my "holy fuck it is hot as BALLS in here" power limit turned on... Where it actually sits about where base clock is.

    @Average nerd I'm using Xubuntu here because it's one of the most lightweight distros out there, but this is the basic process you'll need to do to get that good ol' MBR style back. vmware_HNv2fR7wPf.mp4

    That is very strange. Without having the ability to get my grubby ass mitts all over it, my two suggestions are a BIOS reset and if that still does nothing, a BIOS update (assuming you're not already on the latest, of course). Granted I have a Gigashite board, but it put me through a somewhat similar issue when I got it (it would only control PWM fans somewhat, and it was very temperamental about actually making DC fans follow my curve).

    I got a fairly cheap laptop myself (Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IRU8), and the only thing I would for sure avoid are laptops with 8GB of RAM, at this point you really should be shooting for 16GB (12GB is fine but you’ll be leaving performance on the table since it’ll be running in single channel). Other than that my only personal rule is to avoid HP, I work with them all the time ranging from their obscenely cheap ones all the way up to Spectres, and none of them have impressed me with how they behave or wear over time. Integrated graphics are also probably fine, they’ve gotten surprisingly competent with time so unless you’re doing some pretty hardcore shit you’ll likely be fine. Aside from that the only other thing I’ll say is you might end up needing to familiarize yourself with ThrottleStop, I know on my laptop they followed the Intel spec religiously and it was super sluggish. I threw TS on there with a profile for both battery and wall power, so now it is significantly faster in both modes and hasn’t lost enough battery life to be a concern for me (and if it is I have a third profile that gimps it just as hard if not harder than stock).

    This is going to sound monumentally stupid, but try unplugging ALL of your USB devices. When I built my friend's Ryzen 7000 built we also used a Gigabyte board and had it all set up to install Windows, but we could not get it to boot for a solid 30-45 minutes. I had the idea of unplugging everything we could and eventually we narrowed it down to his board REFUSING to post with one particular flash drive plugged in.
  20. flibberdipper
    Assuming it didn't have BitLocker enabled it could technically work, but I'm sure Windows would descend into madness and kill itself, not to mention that there are plenty of opportunities for poor performance and weird fuckups here and there because of going from laptop hardware to hardware that is completely different.
  21. flibberdipper
    Damn that sucks then. Hopefully OP can figure out where the hell MSI tucked the setting they need, I looked through the manual and saw nothing useful other than what boils down to the default being PWM control... which at least implies DC control is an option somewhere.
  22. flibberdipper
    Kind of depends on how much heat you're trying to dump into it. I'm not trying to get rid of all that much heat (my CPU will top out at about 135-145w for a minute before it gets cut down to 90-95w), so I'm easily able to run all of my fans and my pump pretty slow. That also means my system is quieter, which is great since I can easily hear AIO pumps more often than not. Yeah unfortunately that is the future we're stuck living in. The days of being able to cool a CPU with a wet sock (looking at you 6th gen i5's) are long gone.
  23. flibberdipper
    Considering the fact that you're sucking down power roughly equivalent to a small apartment complex, that seems pretty stinkin' good. Certainly better than my setup though I also definitely have my fan/pump curve set up far more conservatively than you do.
  24. flibberdipper
    Not exactly how Afterburner works there bud. OP, in theory you should have an option somewhere in your fan settings of the BIOS to change it from PWM to voltage control mode. I'm not entirely sure where since I can't find a damn thing about it anywhere and I don't have an MSI board myself to look at, but it SHOULD be there somewhere. If you simply cannot find it at all, you could also see if FanControl will do you any good.
  25. flibberdipper
    Oh yeah bud yours has probably been throttling at 100C the entire time lol
