No, I've always had it stock

But to do that, I'd need to replace almost the entire PC. I will keep my 3090 for now, thank you.

I've been testing playing DCS this morning for quote some time. Oddly enough, I forgot to turn MSI afterburner on, and I've been playing for a while without crashes, so I'm not sure what to think

That looks very good. Would you be willing to share the build process? specially in terms of DCS-BIOS and coding

the 3D adaptative test in OCCT has been running for about 35 minutes now, after the undervolting, so I'll let it finish and if successful, I'll test DCS again. Quick question, does MSI Afterburner need to be running in order to keep that setup or it kind of stores it somewhere in the system?

Don't know what's wrong with this file, but it's crazy how long it's taking to unzip them

Edit: just after I finished posting the above line, my PC crashed, at about minute 4:16, 62.28ºC. Didn't hear the fans spin up, but that doesn't mean they weren't working, though I'll make sure they do. The program says they were working: I'll try what @LucShep suggested, see if that improves anything. My next step will be to replace the thermal pads and paste.

No, I didn't. But I'm running the test again now and after 4 minutes it's at about 50ºC. I'll leave it the whole hour, see what happens.

That's what I thought. I just don't see that clearly those hidden digits, but as you say, it wouldn't make sense. They probably use two of the 4 digit version for the CMWS screen

I'm actually considering replacing it, tbh. Would a 9070 XT be a killer for my current setup? I'd like not to upgrade anything else if I can avoid it. If I have to replace many other things, I think I'd stick with the 3090 and have it checked. I have: Are these good deals?

The power test run fine, but the GPU one gave an error: Not sure what that error is though. I should probably send the GPU out for replacing the heat pads. I'm not sure the person who did it when I bought it, did the best job, though it's been working fine since now, a couple of years after.

If you don't mind the high cost of them, you can try the HCMS-2973, which is the closest thing that I've seen to the real thing. There arent 7 digit boards though, so you'd need to hide one digit on each side, as the real thing seems to have 7+8+7 displays. To me, the KU doesn't justify the cost. I'm happy with the 2402 I bought, and I'll hide the top row under the front face

how big is the KU case? I built one, but I couldn't fit it in an Ender K1

Following your thread. Let's see if we can figure out how to output the CMWS display.

The GPU is an EVGA 3090 FTW. PSU an Nfortec 850W. I'll do that and let you know.

Has anyone already done anything with this panel at all? I'm thinking about trying a 2.8" tft lcd but tbh don't know where to start from, and maybe it's something that has already been done. Thanks!

I'm running the CPU + RAM at the moment. Didn't run it too long before, because it was pretty obvious. It did shut down the first 5 to 10 seconds of starting it, so when it was at about 1,5 minutes I stopped it. I'm going to leave it a bit more, but it's been 8 minutes already without issues. The OCCT doesn't seem to have a stress test for the GPU, does it? I suspect is either that or the PSU what's failing.

Yeah, I got virpil pedals that for some reason don't like some USB ports, not sure what's wrong with them. To remove mods, I only have to delete those folders, right? can I re-install them after repair?

Attached, thank you.dcs.log

I found it! I was using the wrong formula. This is the right one: DcsBios::LED pltApuL(AH_64D_PLT_APU_L_AM, PIN);

I spoke too fast. OCCT didn't crash, but when running DCS, it crashed again :_O

I've tested the Mega pins directly with a multimeter, and I should expect 5V coming out of the pin when the APU is on, shouldn't I? but I get nothing, so I'm wondering whether the code is wrong, or the mega is busted. Bort is not recognizing that output either, so I'm not sure what's wrong then. Maybe that line doesn't actually refer to the APU led, or maybe it's not properly coded in DCS BIOS. @No1sonuk any ideas?

I removed a PCI-e USB extender board and run the test again, and this time it didn't crash. The CPU got up to 91ºC but I guess that's the point of a stress test, and it didn't crash, I stopped the test. So maybe this cheap Amazon board was messing with the power consumption of the MOBO. I'll keep it out of the computer for a few days, see if that makes a difference with playing DCS.

If I was to buy a new PSU, what would you recommend me buying? I thought 850W Gold should be enough for my setup, and it has certainly been for quite a while now, but maybe it's not. I'll also try different ports, since it's modular. Maybe some of the ports went bad.
