HeyItsChris

Will a LENOVO THINKCENTRE M92P SFF support i7 3770K? Thanks

Too bad I cannot order anything else. I'll try and figure out a solution. lol Need to make a million percent sure that I don't make metal on metal contact.

Thanks. What do think of cutting out a hole in a piece of paper or cardboard & laying it down over the Ryzen APU as to further prevent metal to metal contact just in case?

I wish I could, but gonna have to make due with what I have to work with, with minimal tools & minimal items. Will let you know what happens, Monday night when I receive the screws. It's taking a long time to get from Florida to Missouri.

Here is some preliminary results, as I received the copper plate & it's gonna be a tight fit for sure. I took some pics, it's gonna hit some capacitors & what not so I doubled down on some electrical tape in the areas most needed. I used the Sensodyne to check contact pressure & spread & it's looking good bros. Cannot wait to get these stupid screws in tomorrow. M3 x 16mm long & M3 x 18mm long specialty lengths for this project. I measured the stock screw and it's like 5-7mm long or so, adjust half the length of the width thickness of the copper plate.

Yeah I've owned a bunch of Polaris cards, the best of which were 2 8GB 480s I got for $149 each back in the day from Visiontek & they would clock stable all day on stock voltage 1.175v @ 1407Mhz core which was amazing when I was hooked on modding my R9 390X at the time which I miss dearly, the 390X was a fun card but far too hot. I want the Kinology version because its important to take note of the direction of the heatsink fins. You want them to exhaust into the case as it allows for more airflow off the card, rather than a front & back exhaust style heatsink especially when they add a DVI port it cuts airflow too much runs too hot. These Kinology cards just needs a good BIOS modding, and replace the thermal paste, and possibly pads, and replace the fans with say 2x Delta 92mm x 25 @ 80CFM for 160CFM total would keep it cool under load just need to use the fan vga to pwm adapters they sell and were golden.

Thank you everyone for the advice. So whats the chip called exactly nowadays that the silicon is on? Also I think underneath the chip is where the problem is & I think I'll try & source some 99% isopropyl alcohol & some of that good high quality CRC cleaner you speak of, can I get it at ACE hardware or Walmart even preferably? Do they sell 99% isopropyl alcohol at Walmart, i thought they only sold up to 91%... Thanks

Thanks man yeah my msi reference 480 has an asic quality of 68% so it needs 1.050v just for 1250mhz core minimum & its 8 hours stable @ 5k ultra call of duty wwii. These chinese rx 580 2040sp models have strong asic quality of 80%+ so im sure they can clock well. This guy though couldn't get 1400 stable at 1.2v, needed to back it off to 1355 for stability long term at 1.2v. Since then he stopped talking to me so idk how well it's running. I'd love to get my hands on a $100 16GB rx 580 2048sp from Aliexpress China bro with that excellent asic quality they would be fun cards to own especially with 16GB to play around with for a while until I get a stronger card.

So I ordered the 0.5" thick 2" x 2" copper block plate & m3 x 16mm & 18mm long pan head phillips screws because I couldn't find phillips head wafer head screws in the united states at these lengths with the phillips head. Do you think the screws head height will interfere with the SODIMM memory module? It looks like it will be close. Also I included a pic of my new copper heatsink for my M.2 nvme PCIe ssd installed just for fun. Also I am showing how I will place the copper block plate on the APU/heatsink. Your thoughts & Ideas?

I think I have dried up soap in between pins still and possible under the what mPGA or BGA or whatever you call it? The Silicon chip, underneath it where the pins are might be dirty from when I used hand soap to clean it the first time (what an idiot i am) but its a lesson learned. I think I can still fix it just need the right stuff & a bit of time.

I guess I forgot to mention these pictures...

It says it started in the event viewer but still no dice.

Testing it again, the vega 56 powercolor red dragon. Here is what I got so far... It can see the core temp & hotspot temp of the gpu core diode in gpuz and hwinfo sensors and a couple other things but not everything shows up.

Okay ill test it again & as far as how i got it wet with water just trying to clean the thing it got really dusty in friends pc. Now im testing rx480 and its working fine so there is definitely an issue with the vega 56. Should I test it again?

It had a problem starting...

I just dont have a rig laying around in the place that im at currently to test. This is what I got so far ... errors with flexarch 23.9.2

Thanks well i did test in another 2 systems no post no detection nothing so i let it sit & i tried it on the egpu setup and its sort of working so maybe it had to completely dry out? i got it wet lol So now ill try flexarch drivers.

Mine uses Oculink, not the dual hdmi version. Mines the newest one, the v10.1 released like less than 30 days ago. I tried NimeZ drivers. I hope together we can figure this out.

So the card I thought was bad actually started working sort of. It sort of works but has issues, anyone know why? Powercolor Red Dragon Vega 56 on an eGPU setup hooked up to my amd ryzen 3550h mini pc with the Oculink EXP GDC BEAST v10.1 to m.2 nvme slot working well. Just need to know why its not working lol

The end goal is to launch wifi hotspot upon startup without even needing to login preferably as I noticed the computer connects to wifi before I login anyway, which is optimal.

The hosted network couldn't be started. The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation. netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=myssid key=mypassword netsh wlan start hostednetwork //start hotspot It doesn't work as I get that error, but starting it via the UI works fine. I'm trying to set it up to run a command in a .bat to run in Task Scheduler. Thanks

Here are the running results, it would appear to be using too much voltage & throttling so we will reduce voltage & clock to reduce throttling.

We succeeded in altering the voltage & its performing fast & hell now. We set it to 200W 200A 84C core & vrm limit & 84C hotspot limit & 88C shutdown limit & its performing amazing at 1400Mhz core & 2000Mhz memory at 1.200v.

Well, I thought I'd post this in case anyone wants help modding their Polaris BIOS but also I had a question about these cards. Why does the core voltage not go above 1.031v, even know its set to 1150-1200mv in the BIOS? Thanks *UPDATE* Just need to specify the voltage in the 65288 position, duh! Jieshuo_RX580_2048sp_8GB.zip

Thanks man! Yeah its sitting on the apu. I applied paste precisely from edge-to-edge to the apu first then applied paste to the shim on just one side, not both, precisely from edge-to-edge (not a waste of dot/x/pattern a lot of people use who aren't very wise with no experience thermally speaking). Then precisely aligned the shim on to the apu placing the side of the shim without paste on top of the apu that had paste already applied, then placed the heatsink on top & tightened it down in a X-pattern. All is well, except for I need the 1/2" thick shim which is 13 times thicker & about 100 times heavier slab of copper to further absorb heat & wick it away from the apu. I'll be ordering it all soon. This APU is hungry at full tilt with the CPU @ 3700 Jigga Hertz & the GPU @ 1200 Jigga Hertz with the TDP & TDC limits @ 99 Jigga Watts/Amps & 83*C temp limit on the core diode using RyzenAdj via Task Scheduler. lol I've seen more than 85 Jigga Wattz of electricity being sucked down by this chip which is very hot indeed. So it needs the 13mm thick by 38mm x 38mm copper to work its copper magic on the thermals & hopefully hold true on longer loads.
