    RTX 5090 - $2000 - 2 Slot Design - available on Jan. 30 - 12VHPWR still

    Not much process improvement this time while 40xx gen got a big boost going from Samsung 8 to TSMC 4. 5070 Ti is probably the best deal. Cut-down 5080 die with the same 16GB.

    13th / 14th Gen RMAs

    It's just logic, more RMAs means more wait time for everyone, including you apparently. For me peace of mind is keeping an above average chip that hasn't increased Vmin and hasn't crashed in 21 months, while knowing it's under warranty for 3+ years still. It's not like a 14900K is a real...

    13th / 14th Gen RMAs

    There's posts all over Reddit of people waiting weeks for a replacement. 13900K are out of production and Intel didn't have any 14900K left so they're offering refunds. Go read if you want receipts haha. RMAing something that's not defective for peace of mind is not good advice. You might...

    13th / 14th Gen RMAs

    They're not all defective. I've had a 13900K for a long time and always undervolted because it's air cooled, and never had problems. I test by clearing the nVidia shader cache and launching Robocop Rogue City. It doesn't crash undervolted or at stock setting. It has a 5 year warranty, I'll RMA...

    Does Anyone Here Have A i9 13900k Post Microcode update Overclocked to 5.3-5.8 GHZ? Is It Stable?

    I use Intel Default Extreme profile and set SVID behavior to Auto (Z690 Hero/13900K). This sets AC Load Line to 0.50 instead of the default 1.10. It's a good idea to disable IA CEP/SA CEP/Undervolt Protection if you don't want to lose performance.

    ASUS Rog Swift 32 inch PG32UCDM with 31.5″ QD-OLED Panel, 4K 240hz

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

    2023 GPU availability predictions?

    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.

    LG 27GP95R VS LG 27GP95R-B

    I think it stands for Black.

    ASUS RTX 3080 TUF 10GB LHR - unpleasant RMA experience.

    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.

    Suggested DDR5 specs for an i7 12700K?

    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.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070: up to 30% faster than RTX 3090 in gaming

    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.

    Compare these GPU's - Do I accept?

    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)

    When will Video Card prices come down lower?

    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...

    When will Video Card prices come down lower?

    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.

    12900K Tamed On Cinebench With NH U12A chromax Black Air Cooler with small overclock 80°C Max
