Hello forums,

I have an ASUS ROG Maximus XII Z490 Apex motherboard and I have always wanted to update the BIOS on a motherboard, mainly due to my interest in computers and I havent ever done anything like it before, driver updates tops so I wanted to ask what would be the best / most up to date BIOS to update to, anything to watch out for and any tips you guys may have?

Thanks

Exactly what the title says I need a new cooler as my current one has broke

absolutely, the stock cooler does the trick if necessary, the H150i if mounted correctly is total overkill.

I really wouldnt use LM to shunt mod. There can go a lot wrong and its really tricky to get right. Just solder resistor in parallel or find someone to do it for you. If you use an AIO for the die, you have to make sure, that your memory and power delivery isnt overheating

the kit has a 92mm fan blowing at everything, its pretty neat (nzxt kraken g12 if u wanna have a look), yea I have a friend with a soldering iron just that neither of us are qualified lmao

Are you voltage limited or power limited at that frequency?
If it is voltage, you dont need to shunt mod the card. Shunt modding will just give you more power, but if you are already at 1092mV (iirc thats what pascal can do without mods), then there is not a lot you can do except for tuning ram and getting the temps lower

I use evga precision x1 and just as J2C always does, I just slide the voltage slider all the way up to allow it to pull as much as necessary tho yes, I think I may be hitting the 1092mV limit with that... I got +700 mem and +200 core stable enough to run heaven but I cant go any further so I am hoping the ghetto shunt mod will get me further as soon as the next tube of LM arrives lmao

Ask around on random forums and hope to get lucky, but the odds of finding one are next to impossible. Palit cards just aren't used for XOC stuff so no one bothers to try and bribe an engineer to make one instead of just shunt modding the card properly. 

Yea I get that, it was cheap tho, I think a friend of mine has a soldering iron, flux and the resistors cant be expensive..

I have a gtx 1070 gaming x from MSI with a water block. I can push it to around 2200MHz without having a problem with power. 2200MHz is the limit of what I can do without any voltage mod. Maybe try slightly undervolting the card. If you are power limited, this could help a lot

2200??? I cant get mine to be stable at 2100...

Custom vBIOS would work, but good luck finding one. Pascal is when Nvidia decided to lock down the vBIOS on those cards so you BIOS modding them is near impossible on your own. You need to have found someone from Palit to have gotten a vBIOS made without power limits. Shunt modding would be how you'd have to unlock the power limits, but you aren't really gonna get that much farther by doing that. 

any recommendations on where to look?

It would if there is a compatible one. Not every card is identical, dont go out flashing random bioses to your card, that wont work.

hence why Im here... an LM shunt mod seems the most reasonable thing to do rn but I have heard other users having the solder joints give in after a couple months of use... obviously I am not planning on dailying it but is there a way to do it a bit safer?

First thing I'd do would be to shunt mod the card. That's about as much as you can do at ambient. You might be able to get some improvements by messing with the voltage controller (disable phase shedding, adjust load line, etc.) and cap modding the card, but that's an extra 15-30MHz at most. 

 

The problem with overclocking Pascal is that they only really start improving once you go sub zero. They do scale with voltage, but they don't scale with voltage at ambient. They're fun cards to take on LN2 if you and your friend want to get LN2 pots to do this with, but there's not much of a point to doing XOC with them at ambient. If you want to do stuff at ambient/on water, you'd be better off selling the cards and getting some older stuff that scales a bit more at ambient. 7970s, for example, are relatively cheap and do tend to scale a bit more at ambient, should be a lot more fun to compete with a friend for the fastest GPU. 

not planning on going that hard core to need LN2, could shunt modding or a custom vbios work? any advice on that?

I am not gonna bother checking if that card actually has decent power delivery but I can tell you straight away, you can hit power limits even on stock cooler. You will have to shunt mod it AND if you never done soldering, it is NOT an easy thing to do. Remove the cooler, put the stock cooler back on sell it. 10xx series cards still fetch decent amount of money.

This is just for a bit of fun, shunt modding is something I am looking at but rather the cheapo way by just applying some LM on the resistor the way derbauer and gn did it... could a custom vbios help by any chance? or better how hard would it be to find one?

Hello world,

I have a Palit Dual GTX 1070 just chilling around and I wanna give it a propper send off since I dont plan on using it (and my friend definetly doesnt have an identical card and we wanna see who can OC it harder lmao) anyways I have an NZXT Kraken G12 strapped to it with a Kraken X53 AIO with TG Conductonaut LM because I am a bit of a tech hoarder. The GPUs stock vbios limits me to 113% power and idk what else I can do....

Any advice?

Thanks

Keep going, save the file, reload in your browser, find next error or issue, correct that, repeat... 

ok, according to the console there is nothing wrong anymore but the score doesnt update and it doesnt tell you if its right or wrong...

 in addition, once the game is done, could it redirect me to a finish page that says the score?

Yeah, so go there at line 218 in your javascript code and see what's up. You should also see in the source code above that message - i think you can double click on the red highlight and it shows you the code above.

 

You'll probably find your variable is named differently, questionsIndex

oh ok, fixed that, it was a missing s, now what?

Check the HTML part of your code, and the attributes for each of your choice lines. 

Put console.log(variable_name) in your javascript code, where variable_name is the variables you use in your javascript, just to see if they're selected properly. 

When everything works right, remove the lines with console.log as they're no longer needed. 

 

Keep playing with the Developer tools open, and look at the console to see the errors.

Watch out for typos ...I think you have somewhere classToApplu instead of classToApply for example .. 

 

where exacly should I put the console.log()? or does that not matter?

edit:

the F12 menu console gave me this:

Don't write full paths in your html file  ... keep the paths relative to the html page.  if you upload the HTML page on a web server and someone accesses the page, his/her browser won't know how to access the files at  "file:///C:/stuffs/Comp%20Sci/Website/index.html"  

 

Then, open the developer's tools and see what errors you get there ..press F12 and see the console.

 

You have a MAX - QUESTIONS that you need to correct to MAX_QUESTIONS 

Then you have other errors. 

 

You also super complicate this.  since there's only 4 possible answers you could have used a for loop and pick each one with a QuerySelector or something and put an event listener on each entry. 

 

You probably don't want to write   questionsIndex = Math.floor() * availableQuestion.length;   because Math.floor()  returns NaN  - it needs parameters ...  you probably mean Math.floor ( Math.random() * availableQuestion.length) or something like that.

then questionIndex vs questionsIndex pay attention to variable names...

 

I've attached the file with some corrections. You still have to correct placing the answers in the choices boxes. Seriously over complicating yourself.

OMG the progressbar finally works, a question gets selected at random but how do I get the options into the choice boxes? sry Im a noobie at this

Trust me, if websites coding is just course you have to take, go for just passing it like I did. Using bit tweaked examples to add that little thing that is required. Nothing more, nothing complicated. If website coding was the thing you are aiming for...

Thats the issue its the FINAL, my final grade depends on it...

hello world,

for a finals school project I had to make a website in JS and having limited knowledge there was a heck of a learning curve, I left the code in the attachment below, I also included a short video of the current state... whats wrong???

any help is appreciated

You can run a 11th gen chip but the board is pcie 3.0 only.

 

Any reason for high speed gen 4 storage and 2 gpu's?

2 to 3 active users on one cpu, multiple display outs, kinda like a mini home server. Its not ideal in terms of core count but its doing the job (currently a 10700k). I heard some better z490 boards can support gen4 with a bios update?

Hello world,

I have an ROG STRIX MAXIMUS XII APEX Z490 and I would wanna run an 11th gen chip in it because I wanna run high speed gen4 storage, and 2 gen4 gpus (thats why I chose this board since it can support up to 2 x8 pcie devices). How can this be done? I am pretty knowledgible in the tech space but I havent had to do any bios updates yet..

Thank You,

nvidia.com

click on "drivers" top right hand corner

select your card from the list of dropdown menus

Im guessing its not then... lmao

You'd find the latest driver for the 275 and make sure that the 1050ti is under the "supported" list

where could I find this list?

It's really easy. You download F@H client. Sign up for a team (223518 is LTT team), then sign up for a passkey for more points. 

 

 

I know how to fold lmao, I meant the setting up of the gpus?

5 minutes ago, Mel0nMan said:

Yes, you could do that, but why would you just have a system thats whole point is to get hot and waste power...

You could open 2 instances of FurMark one on each GPU.

would I just stick in the second gpu and it would just boot up? would I have to reinstall drivers?

1 minute ago, aDoomGuy said:

Why not just get a heater? It will produce more heat than a GPU..?

Mainly as an experiment to satisfy my curiosity, could it be done?

2 minutes ago, IkeaGnome said:

It'll work, but why?

Instead of just running a benchmark, have you thought about Folding @ Home? 

Yea I considered folding too, how could it be done?
