All of these overclocking software are basically the same thing. You can even get K-Boost working on MSI Afterburner using a custom skin. I found this random post on wordpress that has a ton of useful info: https://1vwjbxf1wko0yhnr.wordpress.com/author/2pkaqwtuqm2q7djg/

There's also tons of open source overclocking tools on github. The only thing useful from MSI Afterburner was the voltage control on their custom cards.

Most parts are close to same cost as buying a new device. You can't just buy a screen, you have to buy the whole assembly. They don't provide schematics or individual ICs like backlight driver or charge chips. This is just PR nonsense.

They're trying to push 12x12V through a smaller 6x12V connector. It's half the surface area, half the wires, less than half the grounds, and you have to account for de-rating (less amps per pin) due to the pins being closer together. It's obvious this connector is not up to the task.

A better solution would be replace the 8-pin PCIe connector with the 8-pin EPS12V. It's capable of just under 300W, more if thicker cables are used.

Or is use XT60 connectors. The board mount version are rated for 30A, or 360W. These connectors are smaller than the 8-pin. They're a much tighter fit. They don't need a clip to stay in place. Only downside is you need 12awg wire to handle the current. The normal copper wire is really stiff, and the silicone fine stranded wire is kinda expensive, but you only need two per connector.

What have I created?

I use Voicemeeter Banana to connect to the ASIO interface on the Scarlett Solo. Combined with Hi-Fi cable, the latency is lower than using windows audio. I have about 80ms lower in games.

This is how I have it configured:

Microphone:

AT2020 > Scarlett Solo > Voicemeeter Banana ASIO > Voicemeeter Output

Output:

Game Audio > Hi-Fi Cable Input > Voicemeeter Banana (A1 Focusrite USB ASIO) > Scarlett Solo

Voice Apps > Voicemeeter Input > Voicemeeter Banana (A1 Focusrite USB ASIO) > Scarlett Solo

Buffers:

ASIO: 256

Hi-Fi Cable: 3072

Voicemeeter Input: 3072

Sample Rate: 24bit 96000hz

I use 96000hz because it gives me the best hz/buffer ratio without causing crackling or dropouts.
