if anyone had been following the whole overclocking competition between Jayztwocents and gamersnexus, it was fun to follow it today. LTT broke their single card records and then Steve from GN broke it again and called Linus while he was livestreaming and Linus was livestreaming WAN show.
It was pretty nerd entertaining.

is windows 1809 available for everybody (the ray tracing update)?
i am manually clicking check for updates and it's saying nothing is available (I'm still on 1803).

Already went there and it says April 2018 is the latest update on my end.
Clicking update and it says thank you for being on latest version, with only option to exit.
wtf, i literally just did it yesterday.
I know they have had problems with the updating deleting files in the documents folder, did they really just take it down? I don't see any news about it..

Ugh… still behind Smokey. -_-
you not built for this battle dr blade.
You gotta pay actual money for 3DMark? Damn son.
Shit's on the download. Gonna blow my SF600w to smash your foolish scores.

i told yall benching is a game in itself.
My CPU is mildly overclocked to 3.6Ghz, I can push that to 3.9Ghz and overclock the GPU (still at stock) and I can eat your ass Smokey.
By Smokey Go To PostMy 4 year old CPU is still smacking yall around. Allah.
I’m on Ryzen, man. I got memed.
Edit: Maxed the power limit, fans on a 100%. 500+ memory and 50+ core. Let’s see how this goes before I need to go into the BIOS.
i just ran this, gpu at stock.
we got the same cpu score!
Remote Desktop is open to my workstation at work, as this test was running

Remote Desktop is open to my workstation at work, as this test was running
Well, I cleared Adam's original score by 200 points.
Edit: going for one more run with +70 on the core and +650 mem. I could push higher, but if I hit 12,000 I’ll be happy considering my PC is a fucking 5th the size of Smokey’s.
Edit 2: My CPU score came in lower than the last run. Big oof.

there can only be 1
By Smokey Go To Postthere can only be 1
That wasn't even my final form. I'm playing safe with these scores, I've got headroom in every area to improve (apart from power).

I'm trying to justify the price of a full custom loop in that Raijintek case I posted further up.
£130 for the case, then another 400 quid on waterblocks, a 240mm rad, fans, pump/reservoir, fittings and tubing. Plus I've never put together a loop before and doing it in an ITX case is probably as hard as I could make it on myself.

By Laboured Go To PostWhy do you only get small cases? Why are you like this?
I like shoving large things in tight spaces.
I'm also a masochist.
By Laboured Go To PostWhy do you only get small cases? Why are you like this?Worry not horse, Scan sell mini-itx cases too.
For a serious answer though, I think there's more innovation in the small form factor market. Big ATX cases, they all look the same. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's a pretty good design having a large case with front intakes and and an exhaust fan at the back. allows for large heatsinks or radiators and so on, it's good.
Small cases on the other hand are taking design risks and pushing to improve on what's considered optimal. Something like the NCase M1 can comfortably handle a 8700K overclocked to 5Ghz and a 2080Ti overclocked on air all within a 13 litre volume case. that kinda shit impresses me.
The DAN A4-SFX that I own is as impressive at only 7.2 litres in volume. Although the even smaller size requires more tinkering. The aforementioned combination is still possible albeit the 8700K requires a delid and will see higher temps (limited to a 92mm radiator), the 2080Ti can still be overclocked but only supports a 2 slot thick card, so there's a thermal limit there (that I didn't run into yesterday, surprisingly).
Just the fact that a traditional large desktop computer can be downsized to something no bigger than a shoebox and still retain that same level of performance is incredible to me. Topped off with my enthusiasm for wasting money and playing around with the hardware, and that's why I only go for small cases.

Are mITX / mATX motherboards not generally compromised?
By Laboured Go To PostAre mITX / mATX motherboards not generally compromised?ITX boards tend to be better off than mATX, but it depends entirely on the board. Overall, you'll get less VRM phases than the good full size ATX boards, but enough to handle overclocking.
Something like ASRock's x299 ITX board has a 7 phase VRM and well
The 7-phase VRM held up nicely through our testing. Though it did get hot to the touch, I did not notice throttling in our testing. The daughterboard for the SATA ports sits right over the VRM heatsink surely hindering airflow through the small heatsink. If heavy overclocking is a need on this board, I would suggest active cooling in a SFF case.
Overclocking Results
Using the X299E-ITX/ac we were able to achieve our typical limit of 4.5 GHz. This time at a slightly lesser voltage than most at 1.235V. Using the Auto function for LLC it defaults on Level 2 and yields pretty stable voltages. Voltage set at 1.235 V in the BIOS was measured as 1.234 V during load with Level 2 LLC. Power consumption of the system started off at 214W, and ended at 294W at 4.5 GHz.

Usually on Z370/X470/X370 boards, the good ITX boards will have a 6+1 or 6+2 phase VRM, which is still adequate for overclocking either an 8700K or 2700X.

I'm here to keep the balance
By Smokey Go To PostI'm here to keep the balance
See I'm fine with that case. It's ridiculous but they at least went out of their way to be different with the internal layout even though some of it looks like they put zero afterthought into. The tilted orientation for GPU would've been a really great feature as it brings the fans away from the glass but they put no effort into planning out access to the rear ports.
The vertical orientation is different to say the least but suffers from the aforementioned issues to a greater extent and has the riser cable just flailing across the motherboard in awful fashion.

By diehard Go To Postbetter heat transfer from the die to the IHS, resulting in lower temps and higher overclock-ability.Ah, OK. Why don't all CPUs come soldered then?
By JesalR Go To PostAh, OK. Why don't all CPUs come soldered then?
Cash. Solder cost more than using toothpaste as a TIM between the IHS and die.
By Smokey Go To PostLooks like it's going to be priced at 529 US (9900K)I’m in. No fucks given, I’m having that.
