Currently debating between this, 39" LG Ultra gear or 48" LG G5 (found a used one a couple hundred euros more expensive).

To me it's just not worth it, especially at that price ($1500), isn't 5090 around $2000, perhaps higher now because of inflated prices, but still, it's about twice as fast as 4080/5080 at 4k?

Corsair Dominator Titanium 6000mhz CL30 (EXPO). I get bluescreens when I try EXPO I/II or Buildzoid's easy timings.

Well, considering it supports 8000mhz+ oc it shouldn't have issues with 6000mhz. It was the only X670-E in ITX version and the saving was about €150. Sending this to RMA would suck as that means 3+ weeks without a computer.

I tried that and I think I got even more bluescreens. I will admit that the motherboard I bought was a returned ex. But I figured it was because of the very loud fan it has built in, which was fixed with a bios update.

Everything except ram, which is at 1.4v

I did not OC the CPU and it's hovering around okay temp, below 80 when gaming and 85 in Cinebench. I did Memtest and it passed each stick and then both of them. Except once something happened when it was running overnight and I woke up to a black screen, but a second run with the same stick...

I have tried to avoid EXPO, but at this point I just might make my nephew very happy and give him a 7950x3d/64gb/4080 gaming station.

Yeah, but is it the cpu, ram or the motherboard?

Buildzoid easy Hynix timings is what I'm using. 1.4v

Ths is the most frustrating thing I've encountered and it probably is AMD, I never in my 25 years had issues with ram not running at its rated speed. I get blue screens randomly once or twice per day. EXPO I or II blue screens, timings found on the net, blue screens. The only thing that works is...

I don't mind Apple hardware, but I can't stand MacOS (I do find iOS for Ipad/Iphone fine).

Looking at Zephyrus G16 with 5090, not much has changed. It's a great machine refined, but at €5800 it's quite expensive. New Blade 16 is thinned down, has better keyboard (compared to its 2024 version), higher TDP than Zephyrus G16 (120w vs 160w if I'm correct, including +25w boost) and is...

It's not out yet. How well it works as monitor replacement depends on who you ask. No way to know until you test.

I have a friend in Texas, she sometimes sends me electronics that are much cheaper over there, puts a bunch of stickers on to look used and writes something about me being forgetful 🤣 And in return she gets (melted) Swedish chocolate.
