Agreed. He'd most likely need to scale it up to like 3000x3000 px at 300ppi on a transparent background for it to be usable on a shirt. At least, for the shirts I designed they needed to be very high res and transparent (the areas around his letters would all need to be on a transparent background.) This makes sure that they aren't printing black on the shirt at all which ends up looking dark gray = it ends up looking like crap. The high res is what most printers need that Enterprise is using. I would not be surprised if iamjanco doesn't want it used on a shirt, cup or hat though. I could be wrong, but he didn't seem too keen on having designs used other than to demonstrate. I don't want to and am not speaking for him though.

Alright, noted. Yours looks great btw.

2nd try.

It should be noted also that I believe raising the fclk helps improve L3 Cache speed and latency. It's a small gain, but it's there.

I had an idea in mind for a shirt. I have the original in VERY large format that should have crisp text. I wanted "In PC hardware we trust" to be going from left to right and readable but couldn't figure out how. I could keep trying though. Here it is: EDIT: I could also change the font or put an outline around it if anyone likes this idea.

What the hell is a "service fee"?

Yeah they are a terrible company with horrible business practices.

Yeah, I haven't read much into it but agree with the sign of the times thing. I guess their work culture is toxic, but that is not something I knew when I bought my cooler, and honestly doesn't matter to me because this thing performs so well. Like I said, it will really suck if they aren't around to make more great AIOs for newer platforms. I did have an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm and used it on my C8H/5900x build but unfortunately, the vrm heatsinks on my new Asus Strix x670e are too tall so the Arctic wouldn't fit (38mm radiator and it wouldn't clear the heatsinks). The EK Nucleus is a 22mm rad not counting fans so it fits. The problem with having a midtower.

This is sad. I have the EK Nucleus AIO black version, 360mm in my rig using Prolimatech PK-3 Nano and love it. In the EHW review, it was actually 1c better than a custom loop. If they will not be around and continue making such awesome AIOs, that really sucks.

Not surprised. Thankfully, I am okay with Win11 and can make it basically like 10 or even 95 with the desktop metaphor and desktop icons. I have a few utilities I use to disable telemetry and Copilot. (WinAeroTweaker) So I'm familiar with it now. Not in the market for a new laptop anyway given that our current one almost never gets used.

I'm sort of happy that they got hacked. They're a terrible company and charge too much money, yet rip the artists off. They deserved this.

Requirements for an X3D chip to work correctly with the V-Cache in games: 1. CPPC preferred cores set to "Auto" in bios. 2. AMD chipset drivers installed with the 3D V-Cache Optimizer Services installed. 3. Use the Balanced power plan in Windows. After installing the chipset drivers it changes the Balanced power plan. 4. Xbox Game Bar enabled (you don't have to use it in games) I own a 7900X3D because I had a 3900x and a 5900x and didn't want to lose cores going to the 7800X3D, but also couldn't afford the 7950X3D. My advice: return the 7900X3D. Mine has a problem where in high performance power plan it won't boost past 5150MHz on the 2nd CCD. (It won't hit 5650 anymore under load). It did when I first got it, then stopped working after a month, a bios update fixed it but only for a month, and it has not worked properly since last April. You're supposed to be able to use Balanced power plan which runs games on the 1st CCD, then switch to high performance power plan for games or benchmarks that require high clock speed. So best of both worlds. Doesn't work for me. I would do what other people are saying, especially whoever mentioned getting the 5700X3D and using the savings to get a better GPU.

Firefox with Ublock Origin, Ghostery, NoScript, Privacy Badger, YouTube High Definition, HTTPS everywhere, and CanvasBlocker. On Linux. Also went to about:config and searched Media Peer and there's a setting called MediaPeerConnection and you need to disable it. Otherwise you can possibly be tracked on a VPN. I get warned sometimes about cross-site scripting or data leaks between pages. I think it's a pretty hardened browser. I use the same setup on my phone as well.

Off topic but I hope you feel better bud. Taking it day by day is all I can do too, and takes a lot of learning and proper self care. Regarding the 19% improvement: somewhat impressive but I think its not really worth the upgrade for me, if it were on TSMCs 3nm node I would be more interested.

So what I'm curious about is: is this actual Zen 5 or is it just Zen 4+? My current 7900X3D is 5nm, will the 9900x be on a smaller node? If it's not then its probably just Zen 4+ like the 3000 series had the 5000 series. It might only be a very incremental improvement if it's still 5nm. EDIT: looked it up and Zen 5 is on N4P TSMC. 1nm less than what I have and only a 15% performance boost. Reminds me of Intel with all the early i7s. It's probably not worth the money for me.

Paid $10 for it complete from Japan. Now it's worth $100 complete. Great game too.

Good man. I have a PSU you can swap in. It'll work great, I promise you.

Did you get it all folding? @Memmento Mori

In bigred

I'd say, don't get too excited over the PTM7950. I used it on my waterblock and had 10c higher temps compared to Prolimatech PK-3 Nano that I swear by. So off went the PTM and back on went my PK-3. Your mileage may vary but I hope it works for you Orion.

Maybe you should try Windows. Install Nvidia drivers and install f@h with the Advanced Control and add slots on that through the GUI. See if you can get all that hardware folding

Correction. You did play in fighting game tournaments, and placed higher than me. Lol. @bridgypoo

I didn't read reviews, I had a 3900x and a 5900x so I didn't want to lose cores going to a 7800X3D and the 7950X3D was too expensive. My rig is not air cooled sweetie. It's got a 360mm AIO and the best one on the market. So if we're talking about just CPU cooling, it's water cooled.

I'm sick of my 7900X3D not boosting on the 2nd CCD, making my benchmark scores way lower. I will be picking up the 9900X to replace it and it better damn well boost as well as be stable (though I don't have problems with stability currently).
