I got the RTL8852BE in & the antenna leads are smaller than the RTL8821CE. What is the specification for smaller than RTL8821CE? Looks like the 8821CE uses this connector : Ant. conn: U.FL This is what I found : Chipset: Realtek RTL8852BE Antenna: 2 x IPEX MHF4 connectors, 2T2R Interface: PCIe: WLAN Output Power up to 19dBm Support: Windows/Linux/Android Will this antenna work?

Cooling down the AMD Ryzen 5 3550H Mini PC, Thoughts & Advice?
HeyItsChris replied to HeyItsChris's topic in CPU's
Here's the thermal results from the 1/2 inch thick x 1 inch x 1 inch copper block as it fit better. It wasn't easy installing and the screws at M2 x 20mm are a little too long so they jet into the fan and cause it to stop so I have to loosen fan screws and let it hover over the screws protruding through. -

Well I finally had to use my 13mm thick by 1 inch x 1 inch copper block & it's doing a pretty good job. -

Check out the performance & the thermals are spectacular. -
Sweet dude, can you link me to this OverdriveNTool 0.2.9? I have a Powercolor Red Dragon Vega 56 and just resurrected from the dead & now I'm looking to dial er' in.

Doesn't matter which driver I'm on, I tried 24.1.1 R.ID driver & 24.1.1 official & 23.1.1 official all do the same thing. The fan turns on for about 30 seconds, then turns off. Why? I wanted to change some fan parameters. What should I change? I know the fan rpm max is 4,000rpm & I want the fans to go 100% at 48*C. Thanks -

I reinstalled WHQL-R-ID-Software-Hybrid-24.1.1KB-Beta-AFMF-24.10.01.03-Jan5-Win10-Win11-PolarisVegaNavi-Nebula & still cannot control the fan & it's not turning on in game and the hotspot gets hot. It's doing great overwise its in need of some fan action. How do I test the fan in windows? I tried msi afterburner and amd radeon settings to no avail. *UPDATE* I think its a driver problem with R.ID because the official 24.1.1 has the fan working. -

Only problem is the fan now seems off and on, and can't control it by msi afterburner unless i screwed something up with applying Soft Power Play Tables at it. -

Well boys, I got er' done. I pulled that Vega 56 red dragon apart, gave it a nice isopropyl alcohol bath & threw it on tin foil balls, threw it in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. I have a proud announcement, it's working beautifully now. -

HeyItsChris replied to HeyItsChris's topic in CPU's
Does anyone know what the total package dimensions are of the AMD Ryzen 5 3550H? Not just the silicon, as it's 35mm x 25mm according to wikichip. I think they are measuring the silicon only, not the whole package... I could be wrong because Anandtech states this : AMD Picasso @ 19.21mm x 10.92mm for the silicon. Is it possible the entire pacakage is 35mm x 25mm? I guess so. Sorry for posting if I answered my own question. As I ordered a different copper sheet with dimensions 1/2" thick x 1" x 1" which is 12.7mm x 25.4mm x 25.4mm. Ryzen 5 3550H - AMD - WikiChip -

Looking for someone with some M2 x 3 nvme M.2 screws for free or for sale cheap? I can get them online but I thought I'd ask here, so if anyone had any & was extra generous 😉 The reason why I need some, like a couple is cool is I lose them so easily without a magnetic screw driver.3.75 USD

So, I'm at this again. Is IPEX UFL compatible with IPEX MHF4? This answered my question : If your device is for 5G applications, IPEX MHF4 is the type for you. However, if yours are for WiFi, 3G or 4G use, U.FL types are the most common ones. IPEX MHF vs. HRS U(W).FL Series Comparison | Grand-Tek WWW.GRAND-TEK.COM MHF1 is compatible with HRS standard U.FL cable assembly, but MHF 4L is not compatible with HRS standard U.FL. If your device is for 5G applications…

So we got the M92P SFF. First we pulled the power supply apart, its fan is a red/black 2 wire which runs at my estimate 5v operation by stock way too little airflow as its the primary exhaust for the entire system as well to get that hot air out. So we removed the red/black from it's 2-pin connector with its metal end and made a hook out of the end of the metal pin that goes into the 2-pin fan header connector in the psu power supply & wired the fan to the eps 4 pin 12v brown + positive / black - negative & wired the red (+ positive) to the brown + positive wire & the black wire to the black ground negative - wire. Then simply wrapped it up in electrical tape. This instantly gave 10x more airflow for exhaust & we removed the grill from the psu fan at the same time further reducing restriction. Then we pulled the blue pwm wires on both the CPU fan & the front intake chassis fan which are Deltas as well. I think all the fans are Deltas so thats great. Just pulled the blue pin wire from its connector using a small flat head pressing on the connector and removing the pin wire from the connector of the 4-pin pwm fan connectors. We also repasted the CPU i5 3470 with Arctic Silver MX-4 from edge to edge covering every square millimeter of the chip, not a waste of a brain cell like most people do is a dot in the center & call it a day or an X or whatever-the-f**** paste configuration they desire to run hot & unstable which is always the case. If you want the purest most maximum performance thermally, you always have to paste from edge to edge by finger or spatula the entire chip covering every last square millimeter with paste so its the purest most real contact imaginable. This yielded a 39C maximum on the CPU PACKAGE & while it saw 96 watts of consumption when its TDP is rated to 77W. It saw 360 points single thread on CPU-Z bench & 1350 points or so multi (not bad at all for an old chip). We hooked up 128gb ssd & 500gb hdd 2.5" & 250gb hdd 3.5" and it all got detected with 25C drive temps sitting right in front of the about 50CFM delta 80mm AFB0812SH chassis intake fan. We also upgraded the RAM to 32GB DDR3-1600. Not to mention the GPU to 1400MHZ overclocked 1.050 volt RX 550 with memory set from 1500 to 1875MHZ & its TDP TDC raised to 75W 75A with the temp limits at 84C core vrm & 84C hotspot & 88C shutdown with a special fan profile that achieves full speed at 56C and as soon as it leaves load it goes silent instantly. It's performing beautifully. We will consider upgrading the GPU & CPU from RX 550 4GB DELL OEM LP to RX 6400 4GB LP OEM & to the 3770K as its rated 77W just like the current chip i5 3470 so there will not be a single issue with thermals if you have a functioning brain that understands computer science & thermals. I went to college for computer science but didn't learn anything. Its all experience & knowledge from doing & testing & trying new methods year after year learning more & more & more that helps more than college did for me at least in my personal opinion but to each their own.

So it's guaranteed to work, thanks. I can figure out the thermals. Do you think this heasink would work? I was going to mount a super-high-powered fan to the copper block heatsink to keep it cool. Are these guaranteed to mount to the mounting holes for LGA 1155? By the way the M92P I bought came with an i5 3470.

I found one forum post someone said they were going to buy & test it but never reported back. Could I mod the bios cpu microcode to add support? I'd love to try it. Thanks

It says it supports the i7 3770, why couldn't it also support the 3770k?
