Bump, still available

Bump. I think this is a pretty good trade.

Brand new in box MSI Z690 Carbon Wifi for sale. Never used. I got it as part of a combo deal from Newegg for DDR5 but I already have an Asus motherboard for my alder lake build. Discounted to move quickly. $300 plus shipping to wherever you are. (board alone retails for $400) Paypal accepted...

I was also interested in this board or the Asus Z690 ITX option. My wife wants me to build a smaller rig than what I have now (see sig) but I don't want to skimp on features too much. What CPU are you going with?

Asus Maximus Extreme or Extreme Glacial for me because I haven't built a new rig in over 10 years, i want the best, I have the money burning a hole in my bank account and even if the logic is flawed, I'd like this new rig to potentially last another 10 years.

Current "maxed out" X58 owner here. To answer your question, the NVIDIA gpus seem to have better compatibility on the platform versus AMD. When I was sourcing parts to "refresh" my x58 system to extend its life just a bit longer I bought a 5700xt which wouldnt boot into windows. Returned...

Absolutely no.

GLWS, nice piece of kit/history, I'd even use it today to replace my existing (and still working) vanilla Rampage III Extreme. Hoping I get a decent chunk of my money back too when it comes time to finally part out my current system.

I'll be one of the boring (and jealous) ones who is keeping what they have for now. Congrats to those of you who were able to snag something on launch day. I was excited to read/watch all the Zen 3 reviews and they didn't disappoint. It's good to see AMD in top form again and I'm looking...

Still using my X58 system which I recently gave a slightly longer lease on life with a RAM (6 to 12gb), GPU (R9 290 to 1080ti) and CPU (i7 930 to Xeon) upgrade. I think Zen 3 and x570 will finally allow me to retire this rig after 10 solid years of service....and hopefully get 10 years out of...

I'll be joining the club in a few days! Going from an i7 930 to a X5675. Hoping I get a good one to get me to 4.6ghz!

Great information! Thanks for pulling up the ArcGIS Pro hardware info regarding cores and GPU processing (now I wonder if the software can take advantage of an Nvidia SLI setup on a desktop for Spatial Analysis duties). Concerning the upgrade, I wanted to factor in the gains that software...

Really appreciate the feedback everyone, it felt like a dumb series of oft repeated questions/hypotheticals but I'm glad I put it out there to see what others thought. Makes me glad to see these forums alive and well still after being away so long. But after even MORE debating (some parts...

I switched gears and started a 3300x build after seeing their performance per dollar and taking my current monitor setup into account. I'm beginning to realize I'm not the hardcore gamer I used to be with the bankroll and desire to back up a high end build anymore and that the hardware scene...

I've been out of the game for awhile (checkout my signature for my current rig) and holy s**t a lot has changed. HardOCP only lives on in forum form and the last AMD CPU I owned was a Clawhammer FX-53 that I cooled with a Koolance Exos (remember those?). So I find myself back in HardForum to...
