  1. I will certainly give you a shout once I have things a little more organized YouTube ads could be another reasonable way to advertise the site, no doubt. Good idea
  2. Awesome No ideas on the media outlets so far as which are free and which are paid, but I will cross that bridge when I start really delving into it. Free obviously better, but if the cost is worth it, I am all ears.
  3. Anyone with the current 4000 series lineup (non-super) might as well hold on to what they have and wait for the 5000 or 6000 series to drop. Anyone with a 3090 should also keep hold of it until the 5000 series. I don't thing the Super series has shaken anything up but to be fair this should not be a surprise. Afterall the super series is only a refresh.
  4. Ebay for sure. I take a look at the competition, AKA other sellers and I choose to undercut them if I would like a quick sale....or match them if I am happy to wait.
  5. Hello all, 2024 will be a year of promoting the community through appropriate avenues to let the world know "We are here!" and increase community traffic. This will be done through the avenues as listed below and this post will be updated accordingly with respects additional avenues used and when the promotion has been completed/ in progress. Promote EHW via Technology related Facebook/Twitter groups - Feel free to suggest any groups! Promote EHW via Local Media Outlets Promote EHW via International Media Outlets (USA/CA/EU) - Feel free to suggest any outlets! Pay Per Click Google Ads Supply EHW Business Card/Pamphet with every Ebay (or similar) sales. - If you are happy to help with this, I can supply you with the media to do so! Clean up YT Channel, better descriptions with backlinks and improved Thumbnails. Possibly merge Podcast videos to Official EHW channel. I am keen on promoting the community to increase interactions between our membership and to increase the volume and variety of content for all to enjoy. I am dedicated to making this community the best it can be, we (in my opinion) have the platform down which for me was always an integral stage. Now it is time to bring the people! Online discussion forums is a competitive space and these days it is hard for a new start-up to gain traction. We have done well up to this point through word of mouth. Thanks to all who have spread the word of EHW and I hope you will continue to do so If you have any suggestions on any additional avenues you feel would help, please feel free to post. I feel the more minds put to the task, the better. All the best, E
  6. Definitely, to be honest it is the only way I can "Justify" the upgrade to a newer generation. In order to avoid downtime I try to purchase the new GPU and get it in my system first, then will sell the older GPU to offset the cost. The 3090 I have now is the single most expensive card I have ever purchased, and that was even with using the EVGA queue system before everything went nuts with Covid/Mining. I think I will be preserving my 3090 for some time to come. As much as I would enjoy a 5090, I reckon the price of it (assuming Nvidia keep on trend) will put it outside the realm of justifiable. Gone are the days of buying this "Because I can" lol.
  7. Yeah this is it, from a financial point of view, im not looking forward to the next few years as a homeowner, bills, parent, tech enthusiast when it comes to how much things are costing. Something will have to give and usually it's the hobbies we enjoy...go figure.
  8. Unsurprising really. Handheld PC gaming has really taken off so it makes sense for MSI to want a piece of the action.
  9. Hello all, I am up for debating and the continuation of this conversation, however let's be sure to keep it civil as it has mostly up to this point. It is clear not everyone's experiences will be the same and there will be some learning done on both sides of the fence Thanks, E
  10. A shame, well for Windows 7, however I understand STEAMs stance.
  11. So I think so far as CO tuning I have settled with the below. Obviously some weaker cores than others, and oddly Core 9 was obviously always on the limit. At stock values I was getting errors from that core, so once I have it a Positive value, it was nice and stable. After reading on the internet, looks like this is not un-heard of. This finishes my CO journey, certainly time consuming. I could likely improve this by a mV here and there but honestly, it is not worth the additional time expenditure and the gain would be negligible. After I have finished messing with my GPU, I may look into the mystical eCLK
  12. Unfortunately, yes. People are not voting with their wallets. However from the consumer side, or should I say professional/prosumer side Nvidia has a good choke hold with their penetration into hardware acceleration whether it be CUDA or other related Nvidia technology. As a CAD and 3D Scanning user, I cannot/will not touch AMD. From prior and recent experience, Solidworks performs much better on Nvidia GPU's and the reliability is far better. Not saying you simply cannot use AMD GPU's with Solidworks, you can and I have, but the experience with an Nvidia GPU is superior. Furthermore our 3D Scanner at work will not work on AMD GPU hardware PERIOD, it is literally designed for Nvidia only and after speaking with the makers, they told me they could not get reliable performance from AMD hardware. So some users such as myself have no choice to go Nvidia, regardless of the price . This is why I would love Intel...or whoever to really disrupt the GPU market and give us another contender. That or AMD really pulls itself together in the prosumer/professional segment and gives us reliable competition so far as hardware acceleration/API's as Nvidia does. So, some people certainly have the luxury of voting out of Nvidia, but some of us don't
  13. Happy New Year guys. I hope you all have an excellent 2024 and the same to your families
  14. With you on that, the 5090 looks like a powerhouse, which will also cost powerhouse prices and I think many people will want to not opt for the top end tier because of that. However as usual, Nvidia are forcing people to heavily consider the 5090 if they proceed with gimping the 5080 with a 192-bit bus. However this is nothing new from Nvidia to be perfectly honest. Considering the price the 5080 will end up being....a 192-bit bus will be an impossible pill to swallow. Back when I got my 3090, I went that route as I found the lack of VRAM on the other lower tier line-up concerning, so I went for the 3090 and that was a large determining factor (4K and productivity work etc), thought I did not NEED 24GB, I would likely have been fine at 16GB. So Nvidia's game plan no doubt works. Due to life being more expensive these days, something like a 5080/5090 would likely be out of reach anyway.
  15. Hey bud, That system will be more than fine for what you are trying to achieve, and definitely overkill for a simple Firewall/DHCP deployment. You are good You should be able to setup a VLAN on your OPNSense box but if you want to do it on a switch, yes you will need a managed switch for that
  16. Hey bud, what are the system specs ? What is your broadband rated at from the ISP ? Also will you use VPN from the OPNSense box ? Will you be running IDS ? (Internet Security AV etc) These are all the sort of considerations to have when speccing a device for firewall usage ?
  17. Yeah the jump to DDR5 and AMD 7K was as simple as the previous generations. Should be as easy as configuring PBO and enabling EXPO and off you go. If you want to take it further, that's when you have to commit a considerable amount of time.
  18. Happy Boxing Day! Another day for eating too much I reckon.
  19. Ha yeah exactly that, Google will still be tracking anything and everything they want, they are just putting a choke hold on everyone else and marketing it as them being the good guy. It is kind of funny to think that they can get away with this being a "feature" and not have I.T community see straight through them lol.
  20. Yeah using SMUdebug for per core CO. I knew it would be a chore doing it core by core, but it is the best way ultimately.
  21. As a small update with me, I have been slowly getting my CO sorted. I thought I had it, but I was still seeing some instability when playing games. So I have started more extensive testing. Running CoreCycler and OCCT Linpack at the the same time is exposing offending cores more quickly, I am getting far less errors now so I am getting there slowly. My chip is not a Golden sample BUT it is good to get something extra out of it. Oddly enough, I have had to add a positive offset to one of my cores to stop it from complaining lol. After doing some reading, that is not too uncommon. Once CO is done, I may look into playing with the eclk to see what extra I can get out of it.
