Appreciate the responses. Over the weekend I pulled the trigger on a Fractal Meshify 3 XL Ambiance and paired it with a Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360. The case was more than I wanted to spend but I have no regrets. I am not crazy about how all of the 5.25 drive bays are gone, and it can only...

Hi all, been under water for >10 years with my trusty Corsair 900D and having recently visited a Microcenter nearby, I'm stunned at how quiet and slick the new cases are even with a full air setup (possibly AIO water for CPU). I picked up a 5090 recently and it's so quiet that my water loop...

Sorry folks, this was sold a little while ago. I updated the post right at the top but I guess it wasn't obvious enough. Thanks anyway

Nice price. GLWS!

Pardon my ignorance, but is there a writeup out there you can link on how to achieve this? I've always done as FRZ is doing and just bumped the slider a little. I don't typically OC for daily use but I like to know what the card is capable of when I buy it with benchmarks.

The dream. Nice! I watched my local center for 6 months and never saw it go in stock once. Now even the Zotac and Gigabyte $2k cards are never in. I'm 30 minutes away so visiting in person was just never in the cards.

I actually ended up going in another direction from the 5090FE. I picked up a PNY ARGB OC model from Best Buy. It was a few hundred more but I'm very happy with the card. Nice and quiet and should take a GPU block well if that's the route I ultimately decide on. Very nice factory OC clocks...

Edit: Sold. Thank you. Had an opportunity to pick one of these up for MSRP lately and decided to go with a PNY OC partner board instead (mainly due to water cooling, which I understand is more difficult with this unit). I am still within return window on this one, but I figured I'd offer it to...

Hi, can you explain what's wrong with the base windforce? I'm weighing one of those at $2k against the FE for the same price but it seems easier to water cool the gigabyte. I tend to like Gigabyte so I'm curious if there's something wrong with the base windforce (non oc). Thanks! Also...

Thanks. I wasn't tracking that. I'll check it out.

I did something similar going from 42" C4 to this. Overall, I'm happy with the curve, the colors seem to have a bit more punch than the C4 (I've had 4 c series models since the first '6' - the current 4 is actually like 14 - and they've always been lacking in saturation when compared to ips...

I haven't bought one yet. I'll probably go with the Alphacool eventually, but to be honest I'm pretty stunned at how silent this card is with the stock cooler. I can barely hear it above my 9x120mm fans running around 1k rpm and it never goes above 70c even with 100% power/load. I'm giving...

Really appreciate the responses. I've already done the upgrade and, driver issues with a flickering desktop aside, I'm loving the 5090. Sold my 4090 already here on the forum, too.

Update: SOLD Selling my water cooled 4090 FE as I picked up a 5090 - truthfully I'm having some minor issues with the 5090 and didn't with the 4090, so this is somewhat bittersweet. Been under water since day 1 and always kept cool. I do not OC and it's never given me a single issue. All...

Roger. Tracking the flashing/flickering is driver/5090 specific, but I believe they were referring to a potential fix for the dark blocking effect in the shadowed regions that I was showing in the link. That is also something I did not experience with the 4090.
