Short answer is yes, sometimes more than one.

Is the fan audible? The Taichi seems to be the only board with a tiny fan and ANY noise drives me up a wall.

Fits great in Phantaks 600S

Fans are pretty quiet so far. Do not really ever notice any sound from the GPU

My 3080 undervolted great, with actually better performance than at stock. I see some YT videos on undervolting the 4090 or just power limiting it but results seem somewhat mixed. Anyone doing this? Results you are seeing?

I stumbled onto mine as well but I decided I would wait until I had the Seasonic cable even if it was a month or more. I was super lucky and got the cable in 2 days and the same day as the 4090

I am using the Seasonic specific cable. It's just 2 to 1 but I have the Prime P/S and its Titanium rated.

And it is deep enough that the cable doesnt even come close to the window.

And then some people just do not want to ever use a controller.

You can get a 3080 for around $500 now and it is pretty easy to ask questions and get a feel for the card. There ARE honest people selling them out there.

Maybe I just had good timing but sent a query though the support page on Seasonic. I think that they really wanted me to buy it from BTOS but offered to ship me one since they were getting them in the next day and could probably snag one before sending on. It is a great cable.

I sometimes wonder if someone will try the Larabee approach again some time. It had a lot of promise.

Not sure if true but I have a Gigabyte Windforce and an ASUS motherboard B550. Absolutely zero coil whine and I am super sound sensitive, the sound of refrigerators and flourescent lights can drive me up the wall.

Not true, just bought a 4090 for $1599 and it really wasn't all that hard to find online.

Totally untrue. You may think a 4090 is just for professionals but in reality it is the first 4K card that truly allows you to do high refresh rate gaming at 4K in almost all titles. That is a big deal. IMO 4K native gaming is MUCH nicer than 1440. And you could make a decent gaming PC even...
