So I just picked up a nice GE66 Raider laptop from another member here. He disclosed up front that it had a BIOS password set that he did not know. I figured I wouldn't need it. However, after installing a new NVMe (WD Back SN850 1TB) and trying to load load Win 11, I got a message that "this...

I have 16 5700XTs that I flashed back to stock ROMs using the amdvbflash utility. I had the original rom images saved from when I did the memory straps.
Once I was done, I ran the Superposition benchmark to check if the performance was as expected. It was for most of the cards, but a handful...

Got a good refurb deal on this Asus Micro ATX mobo. Problem is that the BIOS currently installed might not support the CPU I got for it.
Original BIOS is version 0207 and I need version 0818 in order to post with the 9th Gen CPU I got.
This mobo does not support USB BIOS Flashback from what I...
Looking for a no frills Micro ATX board with 2 PCIe full length slots. They don't have to be 16 lanes. Would prefer Q270 or Z270 chipset, but Q170 or Z170 would work too.
Spacing between the 2 PCIe slots should be 2x, 3x or 4x.
Found what I was looking for.
I'm looking for a plain Micro ATX LGA 1151 mobo with dual full length double spaced slots. Don't need/want RGB, Wifi or any of that. Just need build it Ethernet and HDMI.
The Asus ROG STRIX Z270G GAMING is physically great, but comes with all the crap that I don't need/want.
It will be...
I have a couple of rigs with EVGA GPUs in the and they are not all performing the same despite being identical models (most are FTW3s) and using the same clock profiles.
I got this rig with all EVGA except for one ASUS (no cards in this rig are LHR)
And then I got this rig that has all LHR...

I just received my EVGA RTX 3090 KingPin (24G-P5-3998-KR) today from EVGA. I'd like to trade it for a pair of RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultras (10G-P5-3897-KR).
The KingPin list for $2,069.99 where the FTW3 Ultra's list for $879.99, or $1,759.98 for a pair of them, which is $310 LESS than the KingPin...
So I got a Crosshair VIII Formula with a 5950X and it won't post at all when I try even a mild OC. Had the same issue with the 5600X I had in it initially.
I reset the BIOS to default by removing the battery and shorting the jumper, I then set the following:
When I save changes and reboot...
So I got a pair of Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0 M.2 drives configured as a single striped volume using RAIDXpert2 in BIOS and I can loaded the drivers using Win10 install.
Performance is pretty good:
So read speeds exceed the 5,000 MB/s spec, but write leaves a little bit on the table (spec is...
Curious what would be the best order in which to cool my 3 heat generating devices in my loop. Mobo is Crosshair Formula. I was thinking the following:
The coolant goes from the pump out to the CPU in, then the VRMs, then the GPU and the RAD and back to the pump.
Rad is XSPC 480 and pump...
So I just received an Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Formula X570 that I picked up used from eBay at a good price. Only problem is that the cover that goes over the M.2 slots is missing.
Asus online chat just takes me to a FAQ search. I don't see anything on their site about ordering spare parts...
EDIT: Card has been sold.
I have a MSI 1080 Sea Hawk X for sale for $185 shipped CONUS.
The pump is a little temperamental and will sometimes require a tap on the side to spin up. Once running, it is good to go until the rig is shut down for an extended period of time. It would be a good...
My understanding is that the AM4 socket is limited to the following:
1 16x PCIe 4.0 direct wired to AM4 (typically main PCIe 16x slot for GPU or split to 8x + 8x or 8x + 4x + 4x across 2 or 3 PCIe slots)
1 4x PCIe 4.0 direct wired to AM4 (typically M.2 slot for NVMe storage device)

I busted out an Alienware m17 with the Dell standard 256 GB M.2 drive so that I could get the 6 cell battery.
I have ordered a 970 PRO 512GB to go into the 2nd M.2 slot, but in reading the m17 service manual, I see that I'm supposed to order a heat shield when using both M.2 slots.

I have a MSI GTX 1070 Sea Hawk X GPU. After working well for a long time, all of a sudden it started overheating under any kind of load, with temps climbing into the 90's within seconds.

So ZCL has been on a crazy ride this last week or so with the fork coming tomorrow. So far none of the large exchanges have announced support, but a lot of folks, including myself, have been pulling our balances down from the likes of Bittrex to local wallets, to ensure we will be rewarded the...

So I've been thinking about what to do with all my rigs come springtime, let alone summer. They are coming out of the house. My initial thought was to stick them all in my shop building, but I would have to cut up walls for intakes and exhaust fans. If mining was a 'forever' thing, sure, but...
I have a rig with 9x 1070 GPUs in it. It's a mixed bag consisting of the following:

2x EVGA 1070 FTW
1x Zotac 1070 AMP!
1x Nvidia FE

I have a mining rig that is currently running 5 x 1080Ti factory water cooled cards on a single 480 rad. I'm way under radded and coolant temp is about 41 C with 20C ambient.

Hey guys,

MSI X99S GAMING 9 ACK (latest BIOS installed)

So I have 4 846 enclosures all with these backplanes. 2 of them were on really old MFG code (firmware was previously updated to the most current version, which is 55.14.18.00). The old MFG code cause those chassis to report funky PHY slot values instead of the SLOT designation on my newer...
Thought that maybe someone here has run into a similar issue.
I upgraded from a GTX 970 (Best Buy Reference) to GTX 1070 FE. Did a clean install of Windows 10 (using latest USB file from Microsoft), did the updates from Microsoft, and then downloaded the latest driver from nVidia.
The only...
Just placed my order with nVidia!
Suck that they appear to charge tax to all states, but oh well, what can you do. NewEgg don't have 'em yet and I will be busy later today, so it was now or never. :D
I got a pair of Asus Strix GTX 980 Ti OC GAMING cards.
The first one was purchased new from NewEgg a week ago and has a ASIC of 75.0% The 2nd was purchased from a member here a few ago. It has a ASIC of 73.6%, so pretty close.
So without any overclocking other than what Asus did, I'm seeing...
