    How are you guys liking your X299 CPU's/systems?

    If you delid it, 4.5 should be a piece of cake.

    How are you guys liking your X299 CPU's/systems?

    I'm running a pretty conservative OC @ 4.2ghz on the 7900x. Idling around 30c and I've been between 46-53c under load. Cooling it with a Corsair 280mm AIO. I only bumped the voltage to a static 1.1v, which isn't much different than if you left it on auto in the uefi.

    So who is pre-purchasing the X399 motherboards and Threadripper CPU's tomorrow?

    I recall seeing the gigabyte one on the shelf, but I wasn't looking specifically at any of the other ones. They have a ton of boards in there, so if I was guessing I'd have to say they'll have a few to choose from. I don't think I got the bonus discount either, I asked about it in addition, but...

    So who is pre-purchasing the X399 motherboards and Threadripper CPU's tomorrow?

    Just a heads up if you're near a Microcenter- They aren't listed on the website yet but my location (Boston) had multiple Asus Zenith's on the shelf and TRs in stock. Probably the case for other locations. Cancelled my amazon preorder. There is tax, but the Asus board rang up at $519.99.

    So who is pre-purchasing the X399 motherboards and Threadripper CPU's tomorrow?

    I pre-purchased a board. Jury is stil out if I'm going 1900x or 1950x. I primarily game so the latter would be for epeen. I'm assuming that the 1900x would actually probably perform better gaming-wise due to the clocks. Has anyone seen information/availability on coolers other than the Noctua...

    1080ti Pre-order, Retail, and AIB availability watch

    On a side note...did anyone with a pre-order shipped (and received) from Nvidia last Thursday get the free game code?

    Amazon has not had stock and sold out. If you place a pre-order now you might be in good shape, FYI.

    1080ti Pre-order, Retail, and AIB availability watch

    On a side note, how does the Nvidia branded card compare to a reference from another manufacturer? I'm guessing the reference EVGA and Nvidia branded cards are literally the exact same made in the exact same place only difference being warranty/support?

    1080ti Pre-order, Retail, and AIB availability watch

    Yeah it sucks. Luckily I paid with a card and saved the receipt so I can eventually rescue that $50 they're holding hostage.

    Microcenter is wildly inconsistent in policy across the country. Just left Cambridge MA about an hour ago with a reference EVGA. They had 5 total and opened at 9:30 to sell to us one at a time for $50 markup. No game bundle.

    Convince me not to SLi 1080 Ti

    I'm in the same boat as all of you. I've upgraded SLI each time 580--> 1080. Given the rapidly diminishing applications/importance of SLI even for high res high fps gaming, I feel like the 1080 TI will finally be the card I drop back down to 1 for.

    1080 SLI vs Titan X Pascal

    I have 1080s in SLI- the games I play have good compatibility. In some cases the Titan X is better where the games don't have compatibility. This is kinda a champagne dilemma, so do you homework-either way you're going to get blistering performance.

    Okay, so GTX 1080 releases on May 27th. What does that mean exactly?

    Cost is probably in line or slightly more expensive than the other bridges they sold. Also- Who's offering pre-ordering?
