Good news these panels are available in January. Would've gotten the Dell if it wasn't curved. :cry:

It's not hard to find 4090 in Canada (except FE), and it's raining 4080/4070. I expect a price drop for these 2.

I think it stands for Black.

Yeah, my TUF 3080 10GB v2 LHR has similar numbers. I don't remember the fan %, but it's around 2000rpm while gaming. (Flight Sim in 4K) He's running Furmark with fan at 1500rpm.

I have G.Skill Trident Z5 5600C36 with 12900K/Asus Z690 Hero, works perfectly. I went safe as this runs at 1.2V while the 6000 is 1.35V. DDR4 is a more reasonable choice, but if you don't upgrade often then maybe DDR5 is a better option.

I have a 1000W PSU but my UPS is 900W max. Take out the 3 monitors and network gear hooked up to it and I have about 750W left for the computer. 12900K system without video card maxes out at 300W, so 450W is left for the video card. Hopefully 4080 is under that.

Newegg Canada has Asus TUF 3070 Ti for 999$ in stock. I got a TUF 3080 10GB for 1099$ from Canada Computers yesterday. (sold out now)

Wait for the next crypto crash, it'll be raining cheap cards on ebay and retailers won't have a choice to sell at MSRP or less. Let's hope it happens in 2022. Newegg bundles are ridiculous, Canada Computers is a bit better only forcing a motherboard or power supply purchase without inflating...

That guy wrote that he negotiated a deal directly with nVidia for all those cards. That's ridiculous...those cards would all sell at retail easily, so why is nVidia selling in large quantities directly to miners? Can't wait for Intel to make a 3070 equivalent for less money.

Manual voltage = 1.300V Load Line Calibration = 4 1-2 cores ratio = 55 3-4 cores ratio = 52 5-8 cores ratio = 51 Used the AI Features page to check what 2 cores required the least voltage. (the "best" cores...) Set max ratio per core to 52 for the 6 other cores. The 2 "best" cores leave on...

You're running 5.7GHz 2 cores and 5.4GHz all cores? Nice! Must be a better CPU than mine, I wish you had an Asus board to compare SP. (mine is SP 88, seems good but not great lol)

1.300V on a NH-D15S 1-2 cores @ 5.5GHz, 3-4 cores @ 5.2GHz, 5-8 cores @ 5.1GHz Asus Z690 Hero (used the BIOS to identify the 2 best cores)

Got another motherboard yesterday and did some testing with Noctua NH-D15S and 12900K... Asus Z690 Hero with MCE disabled, rest is all default. Case is Fractal Meshify 2 Compact with 2x140mm Scythe Kaze Flex fans in front and 120mm in the rear. Cinebench R23 gave 1994 single core and 27200...

I had all the parts ready on monday but the Asus Z690 Hero I received had a crooked HDMI port so I sent it back for replacement. Now it's out of stock so I'll probably get a refund. Looking at the Aorus Master maybe, or wait for another Hero. So sad, the most expensive board I've ever bought...

Not yet because my Asus Z690 Hero had the HDMI port soldered improperly to the board and was sent back for replacement. It's for a 12900K.
