Do you have a pair of A-die left?

Fantastic. Thank you.

Wonderful, thank you so much.

Thank you. I really appreciate it. I am not able to read the text in the two lines I marked with a blue box. Can you type out what is there or post an image where that is legible? The original images are probably clear enough to read, but uploading them to a forum wll often degrade the quality. Thanks again, bro.

Awesome. Thank you, sir. ?

I only see two photos. Perhaps my request was not understood. I can obviously see the decal, but I am asking for a legible photo capturing the details printed directly on the black memory chips soldered to the PCB. I do not see a photo of that.

Can you please post a photo showing the part numbers printed on the memory IC chips when you have time? I would really appreciate it. Have a nice weekend.

Sorry, I did not see your message before. It was from EVGA directly, before they released v1.10 BIOS with PPD exposed. EVGA is one of those rare (almost non-existent) companies that actually listen to their customers and care what they want. At the time I posted this I was unaware they they released v1.10 BIOS with PPD exposed. They had me test and confirm the mod they provided (posted here) worked correctly and that was before there was a v1.10 BIOS.

That has been sold now as well. Updated thread title to show "SOLD" instead of "FS" accordingly.

So, this needs an update to correctly identify Intel 12th Gen? My submissions need the CPU name to be edited in the form before the info can be saved.

Only item left for sale at this time is the bare die block. The motherboard has already sold.

It is even better on chilled water. It works better than a typical bare die set up. No fussing with poor fit issues like a die frame. It uses the stock Intel ILM (CPU latching mechanism) to attach. The finned jet plate replaces the IHS and puts the water closer to the core and you do not have to worry about any extra mounting hardware. The plexi top has RGB lighting. If you prefer to not have the lighting the wiring simply plugs in. Sadly, this won't fit my 12900KS, otherwise I would still be using it. It dramatically improved my 10900K overclocked load temperatures. This video is by the person that manufactured the direct die block.

It is very buggy. I had another problem and figured out how to manually fix it, which is noted at the link below in case you encounter similar nonsense.

Seems like the bm-0.10.9.2-offline.exe installer is bugged. I manually copied the driver to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers folder and renamed it "bmrbt-030.sys" (which was listed in Autoruns, but flagged "file not found") and now BenchMate 0.10.9.0 launches without error. Neither the 32bit nor 64bit BenchMate driver was in the System32\drivers folder after normal installation. (The installation appeared to always complete without any error, but apparently not.)

Still unable to use Benchmate 0.10.9.0... restarting doesn't help. Complete removal with Revo Unistaller and clean installing doesn't help. Installing over 0.10.8.0 doesn't help. No problems with 0.10.8.0, so another example of something newer not being better. Seems that applies to nearly everything, LOL. When it comes to software, drivers and firmware, it is safe to assume the exact opposite is going to almost always be true.

I am unable to install 0.10.9.2 on any version of Windows (10 LTSC 2019, 10 LTSC 2021 and 11) as all give the same error. I have downloaded several times thinking maybe the installation package is corrupted, but no go.

Thank you for responding. I appreciate it @_mat_. Yes, I would definitely like having the ability to control the scaling of that validation window. Some of my buddies have also shared their objection to it and I thought I would ask here. For anyone using a 1080p display it is particularly troublesome because it doesn't leave much room for Cinebench and CPU-Z windows. Another question. One of my benching buddies was saying my submissions were "invalid" and I think he is referring to the yellow background color on the score. That seems to be the default color for 0.10.9 Preview 1. If I use an older version of Benchmate it is green. If the score is invalid it would say "invalid" and prevent uploading it to HWBOT, is that correct?

@_mat_ was the gigantic bloated looks of the Benchmate validation window intentional or something Windows is doing to screw things up? That massive size and huge fonts just wastes a TON of screen space and it looks super ugly like that. It is only huge on Windows 10/11. It is the nicer original size on Windows 7. I don't remember it always being this way. Just curious what changed and why. See examples below. Example: Good / attractive / normal size on Windows 7 Example: Bloated / ugly / screen-wasting pig size on Windows 10/11

This BIOS mod is from EVGA and it has memory PPD option exposed. I believe it is based on v1.09. It should work on Z490 Dark KPE or standard version. I have used it on both. Download: [Z490 Dark] E499_flashtool_10202T00.zip (Memory PPD Option)

@tps3443 when you have time please share some results on memory latency with PPD enabled (default) versus disabled and feel free to comment with anything else you find worth mentioning.

EVGA was kind enough to provide an updated BIOS with the memory PPD menu option and VMax Stress menu options exposed. Both enhance performance. Disabling PPD (Power Down) improves memory latency. @tps3443has found his Z590 Dark Cinebench scores have improved and the system is more responsive with VMax Stress disabled. If you find this beneficial, please email EVGA Support and ask them to make these menu options standard on all BIOS updates. I don't understand why they haven't already done this. This is not a production release, so the BIOS will show version 0.00 but it works fine. Download: [Z590 Dark] E599_flashtool_20207T00.zip
