I sold my 9900K config to my brother and built out a Ryzen system, started with a 3800X which was fine, but when I found the only 3950X in a micro center I couldn't pass it up. I absolutely love this monster of a CPU.

Honestly, I hope these rumors are true. I would love to see 12/16 core CPU with high boost clocks - would be great to see some serious competition at the high end from AMD.

I have an MSI Gaming X Trio 2080 Ti - love the card, especially after my Strix 2080 Ti died. One thing I've noticed is sometimes I will have a brief frame stutter, often lasts for less than half a second, but it is noticeable. Destiny 2 is the title I see it happen the most in. Does anyone else...

Nearly any of the Aorus boards are a good choice for Z390 just because of their awesome VRMs. I have an Aorus Ultra w/ a 9900k that can do 5.1GHz easily without breaking 65c, haven't tried pushing it to 5.2GHz though. The VRM on it is AWESOME. Truly interested to see if the KF has a bit higher...

I've had one Asus ROG Strix 2080 Ti Advanced (Samsung memory) which failed after a week, and my friend's Asus Dual RTX 2080 Ti OC (Micron) failed yesterday after 4 months. I'm currently on an MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 2080 Ti for a few weeks now, with no issues. It really blows my mind how many...

HPE killed off the majority of their entry-level lineup. They only have enterprise products, and Dell is capitalizing on it.

As an owner of an RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio, no, its actually quite a nice piece of metal that screws into the PCIe slot beneath it, and supports it quite well. I can get some pictures of it later today, I'd just have to remove my vertical GPU mount first.

Still waiting on that Shadow of the Tomb Raider RTX patch...

I cannot freaking wait for this game. So many improvements over D1.

As someone who had tried SLI for 2 2080 Ti FE's - a few major downsides are this: Even in a case with good airflow, they still thermal throttle, with the top card hitting 84c under load in games easy. Also, with so few games truly optimized for it, the benefit gained was extremely minimal. I...

I'm a huge promoter of high refresh rates. I'll take 1440p144hz over 4k60hz any day of the week.
