Because it’s in the AM4 platform which is EOL. There’s not going to be any newer CPUs you can drop into the system. For people who already have an AM4 board with a weak CPU it’s a great and very cost effective upgrade but if you’re going to need to buy a new board, cpu and memory, it makes more...

Are there any applications that can actually make use of this? If not, it's pretty useless. It's like the promise of DX12 and support for mismatching multi GPU's. Its one thing if the tech is capable, it's another if anyone is actually willing to go through the trouble to code for it.

Unless something has changed in recent years, SLI doesn't work that way. You don't get double the VRAM, the data is mirrored on both cards so if you're using 11GB cards you get 11GB of VRAM. If you're using 24GB cards, you get 24GB of vram

It is when you consider 13700k is faster even at the same clock. 1-200mhz is icing on the cake.

Prices are through the roof. And if you have t seen or heard anyone complain about smart phone prices you havent been paying attention. They’ve gotten expensive to the point where far fewer people upgrade every year. And when they do, the cost is subsidized by signing a 2 year commitment, and...

You cannot connect it incorrectly for the reasons mentioned. You can however inserted it partially which will result in the system not powering up at all because there's no connection or powering up and eventually melting the connector because there's a very poor connection that can overheat. As...

I use a UPS but unless you keep up with battery replacement, they end up causing more problems than they solve. I replace the batteries every 3 years, working or not. Do not rely on the battery indicator on the unit itself to determine if they're healthy or not.

TL;DR

Imagine telling someone their opinion is worthless and not based on facts by providing their own worthless opinion not based on facts 😂

5900x/5950x for gaming AND productivity workloads. Heck even in gaming the 5800x3d isn’t going to be a slam dunk over those CPUs at 4K with a 3090

No reason to upgrade IMO. I ran a 4090 on a 750 watter with no issues at all. I only upgraded to a 1200 because I thought maybe if I had a natvie 12vh connector, it would unlock higher power targets on my 4090... It didn't.

I’m almost positive you have a grounding issue. The only time I’ve ever seen a PC act funny with an electro static discharge on the chassis is when it was plugged into an outlet with a bad ground. A discharge directly on a component is another matter but the chassis is grounded and shouldn’t be...

If it’s an actual voltage issue a UPS or conditioner may fix it but if it’s a grounding issue (which can cause all sorts of issues) it will not.

The way I see it you have two options 1) move and leave everything behind 2) find a good psychiatrist Sorry but I cant imagine this odor that’s transforming from rotten eggs to plastic is anything other than you mind playing tricks on itself. Time for me to unsubscribe from this thread, as...

Maybe you farted

What risk? Unless you're running pure shit like the exploding gigabyte PSU's, you'll trip OCP and the system shuts off. You make it sound like the PSU will shot a bolt of lightening through the wires as soon as you exceed its capacity.

If you’re buying a new PSU regardless, I’d agree. Might as well go with a 1kw+ but if you already have a quality 750 or especially 850, it’s not really skimping to use it. I’d argue it’s smart since they appear to handle the load without issue.

I was running a lower power target when I first got my 4090 but I cranked it up to its default settings again. These cards aren’t drawing nearly as much power as I thought they would and they are among the coolest running GPUs I’ve ever owned. Outside of benchmarks and stress tests it’s pulling...

If you don’t find a local buyer I may be interested in the mobo/ram/cpu

Hmmm… what resolution? I performed literally the same upgrade. 1080ti paired with a 3770k and carried it over to a 3900x. performance was certainly better but none of my frame rates doubled, much less all of them. That’s at 1440p

That was a great video! Thanks for posting I ordered one for the same reasons. If my AIO springs a leak or pump takes a shit this will be a more than adequate interim cooler.

How would this compare to a 280mm corsair water cooler?

Any battery can release harmful vapors if conditions allow. SLA are among the safest and most durable chemistries out there.

My understanding is they are sense pins that tell the GPU if it can draw 450 watts or up to 600 watts.

The card had multiple known problems, why would you spend $500 on a card you knew was trash? Should be no surprise if you find more issues. Heck, I stay away from cards from sellers on here if they replaced the cooler with a water block and include the stock cooler.

It was declared (kinda) OP was under the impression there was a bad HDMI port but it looks like it was actually a DP instead. Ultimately this is OP's fault through and through. He knew he was buying a defective item from the start and chose to roll the dice. Kind of baffling if you ask me. If I...

The answer is not nearly that clear cut. Depends on the game and resolution among other factors

I’d never buy one with those issues so IMO, yes you made a mistake

im sure it was the highlight of your day, Jim

i would recommend editing the post to reflect the actual make/model of hardware you’re selling. No one wants to click on multiple links to figure out what they’re buying.

Everybody or nobody? Says who, exactly? what country and form of government are you under the impression these company’s are working out of/under that can force this bad take?

Asking the same questions in multi quote format will give you the same answers. Scroll up. I mean, as far as Apple amd nvidia are concerned, their profits are Doing the exact opposite is your prediction so your entire Argument is based on something that not only doesn’t exist, but trending in...

Well they’ve already done it several times and they aren’t any smaller. Just like nvidia has raised prices on all their cards and people still buying. Customers don’t appear to be nearly as fickle as you might imagine.

Because Apple has shown Time and again, they are not afraid of taking their business elsewhere even if it means moving to a completely different processor and rewriting their OS. They did it to IBM, they did it to Intel and they’ll do it to ARM if they [ARM] gives them a reason.

Apple is by far ARMs biggest customer. No one else comes close. It would be suicide for ARM to try and bully Apple.

I *think* I had this happen today. I just chalked it up to windows doing windows things in the background. Didn’t bother checking the processes tab to see what was using those cpu cycles.

That may be true but I’m talking about sticks that have worked fine for months or even a year plus, suddenly causing crashes.

I’ve seen more bad memory sticks in the last 12 months then I’ve seen in the entirety of my PC building “career”

I don't think using two GPU's instead of one qualifies as KISS, quite the opposite. You also risk running into HDCP issues if you play HDCP content and the audio device doesn't see a compatible HDCP display attached to it.

If you're gaming on all three monitors and your reaction time is that good where passthrough latency on a non-primary display will make a difference, you're the most impressive specimen I've heard of. Heck you'll probably introduce more latency from driver overhead with what you're trying to do.
