There's reports of even the native ATX 3.0 cable melting now.

I have the gigabyte OC 4090. Playing cyberpunk at 4k with all settings maxed the card was pretty quiet, temps hit 53c max on the GPU. Lian Li o11 case. I can't get the side panel on due to that cable adapter so I just have the panel sort of sitting there for now until I get a 90 degree cable.

You'll like it. I use a 48" LG C1 as my gaming monitor and it's amazing! With the 4090.

I got the lian li o11 dynamic last year for a build. Just got the 4090 and while it fits in the case I can't get the side panel due to the cable. Even the upcoming 90 degree cable is still too chunky to work. So looks like i'll have to shop for another case. I do see lian li sells a vertical...

Had. Gone in seconds.

I ended up getting the gigabyte 4900 OC. The sites were getting hammered and glitching, I grabbed whatever I could and ended up getting the gigabyte from newegg and the MSI from bestbuy. 2 cards! I hung on to them a bit just to make sure an order wouldn't get cancelled due to a glitch and...

Rumored release is september from the articles i've read. Though i'd guess limited supply at that time and only certain models. I'd also expect demand to continue to be crazy and as a result they'll be hard to get and prices will be stupid. I really hope i'm wrong.

I haven't seen this one show up to purchase at all. I mean the price is still $440 but i've never seen it in stock. I've been refreshing all day every day at work and at home. Are you just saying the price is the same or that it's available for purchase and i'm just not seeing the buy button?

I saw that go up yesterday and it's still there today.

Did you check the fan curve in the bios? It may be set to 0% at idle. My GPU fans don't spin at idle. Only under load.

IMO no. But it depends on what you need it for. I do have a 5820, 8700 and now a 12900. The 12900 is a worthy upgrade over my 5820. But not over the 8700. But again, depends on your wants/needs.

I use a voltage offset of -.11 and I get mid 90's temp in cinebench 23 without throttling. With all cores running I leave the clock multiplier at 49. If I increase that I will thermal throttle. So far this is the best i've been able to do. Changing core voltage doesn't seem to do anything on...

Indeed. And it's not just that one game does or does not use a lot of ram but it's also all the other programs you may be running. I put 32gb on my computer I built 6 years ago. And i've made use of it. And 32gb on the system I just built. I even have 32gb in my NAS. Depending on what I have...

stock it hits 100c and throttles. Undervolting will drop it down but it's still hotter than i'd like. But it's stable and not throttling. I can undervolt more and bring the temps way down but it's not stable. I don't overclock.

alder lake just runs plain hot, even with a AIO. I can easily hit 100c in cinebench and thermal throttle. I spent all weekend downvolting and testing so I am now stable and no longer throttling though I still hit 93c in cinebench. My main use case is video encoding so it was important to me...
