    Used 4090 on ebay pulling hard?

    Don't be scared. I've been running my 4090FE since lauch and I have zero sag and the thing is solid as hell. It's built better than almost all other 4090 offerings.

    Isn't that the card that had the PCB cracking issue?

    Asus Strix 1080 ti - fans not working

    Prior to a reflow, try pressing the card down by the corner while the system is on. Not super hard, of couse, but enough to see some flex. It could reconnect a broken solder joint. If the fans kick on you know that's what it is. Long shot, but worth a shot. If you don't want to dig too deep and...

    Asus Strix 1080 ti - fans not working

    You could try installing MSI Afterburner and setting a fan percentage just to see if they turn on. Just set it to some percentage and see if anything happens. If nothing, double check that a wire didn't get pinched or something.

    Logitech G915 Best Buy $142

    This is a fantastic keyboard. I have one full length and 2 TKL and it's a joy to use. One of the TKL's I use with a Corsair lap pad for my HTPC. It fits snug but works great!

    Used gpu- good idea?

    I bought a 6700XT used for $200 about a year ago. I sold a build with it and it's been working fine ever since. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Am I pushing it with 750W and RTX 4090

    It's simple for me. Why risk a $2K GPU with a subpar PSU? If you can afford a 4090 you can afford a 1000W+ watt PSU.

    [Steam] Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice 90% off @ $2.99 till 1-24-24

    I played it in 2018 and remember being blown away! It was the first game I ever played with an ultrawide monitor.

    [Steam] Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice 90% off @ $2.99 till 1-24-24

    Just a reminder, for those who have Xbox Game Pass it's been on there forever. I've made the mistake of buying a game that ended up being on it.

    Best place for cheap MS Office keys?

    I've never had issues with mmoga and I've ordered like 20 W10 keys on there.

    Epic games store holiday sale is crazy!

    Thats how Xbox Game Pass made me feel. When I first got it I was like I've spent over $400 on games that are offered. It wasn't worth it for me then but is now.

    Choose between RTX 4060 / RTX 3060 12GB / RX 6700 XT

    Was totally unaware of Steam Link. Thanks for that! I'll have to give it a try myself.

    Choose between RTX 4060 / RTX 3060 12GB / RX 6700 XT

    Between those 3, the 4060 namely because of your Shield use case. 6700xt won't allow you to stream so scratch that one. 4060 gets you the latest DLSS tech so if similarly priced to a 3060 it's a no brainer.

    [Dead]MicroCenter: $300 7800X3D. $289 7900x. Pricematch with Best Buy.

    Why not just do it and swap out the chip later? You'll be able to recoup some of the chip cost later, but the platform upgrade will serve you for years to come. This is a substantial upgrade that will open up that 4090 for you. I'm a bad influence.

    4090s will be in short supply for the next 2 years

    Wow, got my 4090 FE for MSRP last November. The fact that they're going up in price is insane. I've had that card for nearly a year. First time I ever bought top of the line. Glad I did.

    [GOG] Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok FREE

    Fun game! Voice acting is kinda funny, but if you're at all into the Quest For Glory series by Sierra this will be right up your alley.

    How many 4080/4090 owners plan to upgrade to a respective 50 series when available?

    I will not be upgrading anytime soon. This is the first time I ever bought the top of the line. Granted, I did get both a 4090 and a 7900XTX this last time but there is no reason to upgrade. If anything, my platform is holding the 4090 back so I'll probably get next gen AM5 rather than a GPU.

    Yum! Ramen for Starving E-Gamers: 24-Pack 3-Oz Creamy Chicken Maruchan Ramen $5.76 @Amazon/Walmart

    The Nongshim Tonkatsu Ramen from Costco is excellent. Add a softboiled egg and whatever other goodies you like and it's a great meal!

    Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 13900HX RTX4080 32GB 1TB - $2202.03

    Swapped the thermal paste on my old laptop (Acer Predator Triton 500) with PTM9750 and the highest temp I've seen is 84C when previously it was hitting 100C quite regularly. Did I buy this Legion for nothing? Just kidding :)

    Why would not allow it? :) I'm a huge fan of discussion and alternatives. That's why we're [H]ard! Also, it doesn't take a thing away from the deal I posted :P

    Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 13900HX RTX4080 32GB 1TB - $2202.03

    This whole mini-led thing is giving me buyers remorse. Just kidding! :P This thing is great for what I need!

    Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 13900HX RTX4080 32GB 1TB - $2202.03

    Yeah. Aside from the resolution, hz, and gsync it really doesn't look a whole better to me than my Triton. And I'm spoiled with OLED's at home. What do you plan to use this laptop for? Do you travel a lot? I ultimately succumbed because of the price and the fact that I don't use it THAT much...

    Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 13900HX RTX4080 32GB 1TB - $2202.03

    It sounds like you have the itch to buy but the laptop in this thread is leaps and bounds better. Sure, the MSI has a 4080 but everything is last gen. The screen on this is 100% sRGB compliant and about 72% Adobe compliant. I'm not sure about NTSC. Check the review here. I REALLY wanted miniled...

    Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 13900HX RTX4080 32GB 1TB - $2202.03

    Yeah, it's on a hardwood table so restriction shouldn't be the issue. I'm amazed with the amount of hot air this thing pushes out though and the keyboard is barely warm to the touch during that. I'll look for reviews but I'm thinking it might be normal. The crashing is not, of course but that...

    Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 13900HX RTX4080 32GB 1TB - $2202.03

    I'm seeing pretty high CPU temps and have experienced a few crashes with the Lenovo in Hogwarts but it could just be the game. It hits about 98C. Is this a normal temp? GPU doesn't exceed 80C.

    Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 13900HX RTX4080 32GB 1TB - $2202.03

    A lot of the reviews appear to be for a different model. GP66 at a quick glance. Watch some reviews first.

    Bought a 3090, loud as hell, unusually hot? Disappointed.

    This sounds like a Linus Tech Tips challenge. How do various builds react to temperature variances? Let's build the best possible machine for AZ dry heat! Sounds fun.

    I'm the OP. It's all in the first post. Looks like they're out of stock now, though. B&H Photo had an even better deal. I was about $2340 all in.

    Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 13900HX RTX4080 32GB 1TB - $2202.03

    Got mine. Love it! Screen isn't any better than my previous machine but it's not bad in any way really. Amazing how much heat this thing evacuates while still being mostly cool on the keyboard. Very happy with the purchase! Games run flawlessly on it.
