Just for know, excepted soldering, it possible to use like "glue" kapton tape" or anythings else for have the wire or pins touching the pad ? For keeping warranty.
Damn I almos just bought a water block and a evc 2......uhg cant...I’m glad it’s happened as It means I have no chance of competing so I won’t even bother wasting my time trying. Dread to think how many hours I’ve wasted running Speedway etc. Now I can focus on YouTube gaming videos.
skip to avoid /rant......Whats with the XT hate...? Stupidty? ignorance or just straight the always mentally challenged stance of...its my team and my side, so now everything is like politics...all the excuses for this side.. and all the hate for the other.....But I digress.

...dangit....no soldering, if I could get a nice bios flash option or some tempvmin ppt action...i'd jump on it....Not that I dont trust the 2 8pin + socket to provide said 600watts... i've done it before on lesser hardware....But its just not worth if I f it up..I know i'd just say **** gaming and run my onboard gpu and I dont want to give up on the pc master race yet, not with amd making interesting hardware......... .meh oh well, I just cant justify it for another 10%..;..when it plays everything with ease damn near stock...
But yeah, shifting gears quick for a mini rant on ya LTmatt, sorry bud
anyways...... I see alot alot of youtubers, and ones people trust ....Such as Hardware unboxed selling y'all wolf tickets about the xt, and its legitemately provable they are litreally just straight lying for nvidia or whoever for increased doll-hairs or just that stupid, which i dont buy.,.. anyways HW unobxed literally posted a 1440p / 4k world war z - aftermath bench, where his bench has the xt at like 140 fps "overclocked" and the 4080 was like 40 fps ahead and widened the gap by more than double in 4k, even tho we KNOW the 4080 can choked at some high rezes cuz lower vram and its definately more a xtx competitior than an XT competitior given the large price tag..., (this was right after that aftermath xpac or addon dropped with the benchmark in game for WWZ....just like this past january) And whats worse.... he had on hand at the time the 4070ti to bench as well...But Nay...he put the xt against the then 1299.99 if u were lucky 4080 and said this was the result amd decimated -=- XT DOA -=- bad vlaue, blah bah blah, he is the slide from his video...:

... and I was like this dude full of *, so i checked it out..bought the game.. and sure enough...not only did I nearly double his 1440p XT score(which I cant find the Screen for)hes out there telling the people that made him rich his audiences striaght lies for $ all while hes becoming wealthy for supposedly being a good source of comparison in the hardware world........its so sad, the 7900 xt is only slower than i guess ....what .....(half the 4080 in RT.. and barely in rasteriz if at all....so thats half a card.... .5 ...... the XTX and the 4090, 2.5 cards....so thats 2.5 gpus are faster....... like EVER... Right? And clueless people are calling it a dog * card..
XTs real #s, which make his slide there look absolutely ridiculous:

and btw this is with a 100mv UV 15% power and 0 for fast mem... so.. 15%, small uv and stock clocks... Netted me that way higher than 4k benchmark...
It so ridiculously absurd....Speaking about the XT you could literally say its the 3rd or 4th fastest card devised by man for public consumption, EVER thus far..... and be acurate AF right now...but for some terribad reason......if you ask around, ShouldI buy XT over... whatever,,,,You will be answered by tales of a weak and underperforming card... shouts of overpriced ad buggy! and murmerings of how it shouldve been called the 7800xt, because it fits there better......even though....the gap between 6800xt to 6950xt is quite large, and the XT to XTX. gap.. is definately more like 6900 to 6950, they were 100$ apart too... and about 5-10% diff in performance...
so THE TLDR even tho the numbers which are not hiden very well quickly make unboxedhardscrooge a liar and pervayor of lies for whoever he posts these lame amd hit peices for......(and not to mention several OTHER busted parses part of youtube videos that were created to mislead potential AMD customers and distributed by youtubers with millions of Subs). and remember hes lying to the same subs that brought him from a troll BS'ing on forums like us trolls......exactly zero ppl care mfor the truth..... They believe in their 'truth over facts' (joebiden quote?)..and well....its dog *, the 4070 which is actually kinda dog * for its price, is thought of to be superior.. when its not....outside of like speedway, KINDA...my xt even beats it in port royal.
anyways ... sry about the /rant team, I dont get alot of geek time to post with the boys anymore.... but...to get back to your point, Yes... feels good to not be running a benchmark over and over for days in a row at a time, sometimes just for extra sauce, not even to regain a lost lead. xD.....we got an addiction me thinks...But looki, LtMatt is XFX friends.....Imma bout to start a few benchmark comps with a few new benches i found which are catching on, and fun to bench or look nice....SOOOOO.... look for me over there Matt and bring over big daddy xtx join in on the fun.
Currently for higher PL tier cards, like your Merc, there is nothing worth flashing. Only thing which will "Raise the limits..." is EVC.
Pulse has PL slightly more than MBA, so that's what's holding back any gains from OC/UV.
, that's nice silicon for sure IMO.
Man I just might evc this, any word if anyone has slapped one on an XT? I know there are 2/3 8pin versions.. but we both know... i'd be fine with 500-600w over just the 2 np....And is there any option other than solder? I mean i was talking to my uncle ...hes a career welder/electrician and he didnt want to say anything could 100% work, not having the board infront of him....But gave me some ideas...Currently for higher PL tier cards, like your Merc, there is nothing worth flashing.

Looking at how your LeakageID (ASIC Quality 36.4%) is so low, that is only reason why your getting 33K in a PL limited card. A higher LeakageID silicon would never get that score with PL your card has.
Enjoy!
What are you asking and that is normal temps.
Those temps are normal. I would say 50-60c is normal depends on idle fan speeds, case flow, ambient temps. Anything above 70c at idle is high and might be caused by amd record desktop/high refresh rate monitor. Below 50c idle you got gem
Thanks for the answers. I don't really see it as a tragedy either, it just bothers me a little that a single value stands out so much. Perhaps because it does not measure on the surface, but directly in the silicon. And of course the Pulse is not a high-end card.
Damn these numbers making me want to do it too xD
LMAO! *** is going in that AMDunboxed chart? Did they use the benchmark or was it from actual gameplay? Thanks for checking it yourself.Damn I almos just bought a water block and a evc 2......uhg cant...

Is that a reference card? Without sounding rude I’m confused as to what’s impressive because it’s pretty much in line with what the nitros etc hit with 15% that’s all
Whats the full name of HW flash? I would like to download it - thanks
Why is the test invalid?
