regarding V-cache: afaik one of the ways they shrunk the 4c chiplets is not including the vias for the extra cache. This was for zen4c so maybe things are different for zen5c, but i'm not sure. The reasoning can go both ways, but I expect they don't focus on cache too much for those compact...

I quite like the visuals. Sure I'd like some proper HDR output, or better textures, or maybe better performance. The way they're currently presenting the game however does succeed in pulling me in, from the gritty cave to the ISS esque ship or the semi positive futuristic atlantis. I agree...

That 16 core with 768MB L3 cache :eek:

Well, likewise of course! Any particular reason?

Hello peoples! An update, as there was some interest in the continuation of this project. After reading your messages I decided I needed to learn a lot more about how to re-add a nickel layer, so i took my time reading up on that. After a lot of research and pondering, I decided to just contact...

Good call, we have sand blasting station at work. I'll ask what kind they're using.

Yeah I'm trying my best to avoid too much unevenness. Figured that as long as the gasket surface is even enough I should be mostly fine regarding leak risk. The plexiglass top is basically pristine after cleaning as well.

Regarding only having nickel plated parts: I doubt the corsair copper radiator i've got is fully plated on the inside? Not sure if it'll matter that much. Regardless, I'm probably gonna try my hand at nickel plating if the power supply i've got somewhere still works:D I also want to 3d print a...

Works wonders for the biggest parts for sure! thanks for the suggestion. Edit picture: Also shows a lot of nickel flaking off so it's definitely a good idea to get rid of like @Outback Bronze suggested. Two things left on my to figure out list: How to clean/sand in between the copper...

Thanks guys! will see how far i can get with sanding. Wonder whether theres also nickel in between the "fins" above the GPU; if so i suppose sandblasting is the only option?

It is indeed raw copper. And the guy said he only used distilled water, but never once refreshed it. Would sandblasting get rid of the nickel you reckon?

Hey guys! I wanted to ask your opinion about a card I recently acquired. The guy I bought it from was using it until he sold it, so i know it's working. The waterblock however seems to be not only be really dirty, but also the nickel started peeling away and there might be some corrosion. If I...

Agreed about the 6700XT being fine for 1440p gaming for now! I also like to run some GPU-compute every now and then however, and that combined with future proofing means I prefer a bit of overkill in the VRAM department.

I'd go for the cheapest 16GB option. Truthfully though, the price/performance ratio did not yet shift enough for any of those cards in my humble opinion. I'd rather wait and spend my money elsewhere until this gets better.

Thanks! And I agree, apart from actually being able to buy their full raspberry pi boards. Hopefully that'll get better in the near future. More on topic still: the only thing AITRIOS is currently selling is a PoE camera based on an ESP32 system...
