The golden rule of upgrading is to ALWAYS get the best card you can afford. Since money isn't an issue, the 4090 is a no brainer as it's the best card out period. The question should really be which 4090 to get. I have the Aorus Master 4090, the biggest card of them all and it fits fine in my...
He was using a 7900X and they also ran a bunch of programs in the background to amp up the usage. The whole system spec is shown at 19 seconds into it.
No coil whine on my Z790. Hell I often wonder how people hear it. You mean to tell me you can hear it over the fans? That's the loudest thing in any systems I've ever built and I've been building since 2001. I must be really lucky as I've spent over $50k on pc parts and never once had any coil...
It ended up at goodwill because that person didn't care for trying to sell it and didn't want it sitting in the house. I've gave tons of cloths and other stuff to goodwill as I didn't care to try to sell them. I rather give them to good will than risk getting robbed trying to sell it locally.
I went with the 011 XL ever since it came out. Why did I do it? Cable management. So much room back there that you don't need to tie everything up to get the back panel to close. I bought the Evo when I decided on a new pc. I went with the Evo because I didn't like how tall the XL was. Never...
Well got tired of waiting so when the MSI MEG Ai1000P came out, I jumped on it. Good thing too cus it sold out [2 of them] just as I picked it up from the Microcenter in Westmount, IL.
The main benefit of using a ATX 3.0 PSU is the native 12VHPWR cable. It's alot easier to deal with 1 cable vs those adaptors that makes you plug in more than just 1 cable into your PSU. Makes dealing with cable management alot easier.
I had the 1650W version and took it back after a week. My pc kept rebooting during gaming and when I took it back to Microcenter, the rep told me it could be drawing too much power from the wall causing my pc to freak out and reboot. It also gets loud during gaming. It doesn't turn off right...
I usually buy the 2nd or 3rd best mobo. I did buy the top of the line Asus RIVE and that was the last time I bought a top of the line one. I will only buy the top of the line if I had no other options.
Talking about the latest bios update. It doesn't state what they officially support or guarantee to work.
The latest bios just says Improve DDR5 6800MHz 32GBx2 compatibility, which I assume is almost guarantee to work.
As of right now I think it only officially support 6800 or maybe it's stable at 6800. Either way after seeing the bios update, I decided to grab the 6800 instead of the 6000.
I just switched over to Intel yesterday after a week of trying to get the 7950X to work correctly. I have no regret leaving AMD although I really didn't want to. The random reboot/bsod during downloads of Steam games, during game play or just idling got tiring. I also got tired of the long boot...
Well add me to the Aorus Master list. I did have this mobo in the X570 and it served me well until I decided to upgrade to the 7950X. Well that was a huge mistake, I couldn't get it stable, it would randomly crash/bsod/reboot. Tried 2 different X670E and same results. I almost decided to go back...
I've been using Windows 11 since it came out. It's got a few bugs here and there but nothing major that made me regret upgrading. I do use start11 to make it feel more like Windows 10 as I don't like the new interface on Windows 11.
Get use to the price, with no one able to compete with TSMC, they can charge whatever they want. Nvidia is just passing on the cost to everyone.

Be aware that film they use to make it better for wide viewing may cause a rainbow effect. That is what I've read or saw on youtube, and the 50" doesn't have it so no rainbow effect.
That is an issue with your monitor, you either need to calibrate or adjust something on it. This has nothing to do with your windows display driver. You'll need to download whatever program your monitor needs to make adjustments on those color profiles. Your monitor could be screwed up too...
I have a CX 65" in my living room and love it. I went out and bought the C1 and had it for about 2 weeks before taking it back for the Asus PG43UQ. While the C1 was good and everything, I am not willing to compromise anything to make it work for my PC monitor. Why should I have to make my...
Does anyone know if the MSI stat overlay OSD used in game will cause a burn in issue? I'm a bit worried because I use it all the time to check my fps, temps and so on.
