Short answer is yes, sometimes more than one.

Is the fan audible? The Taichi seems to be the only board with a tiny fan and ANY noise drives me up a wall.

Fits great in Phantaks 600S

Fans are pretty quiet so far. Do not really ever notice any sound from the GPU

My 3080 undervolted great, with actually better performance than at stock. I see some YT videos on undervolting the 4090 or just power limiting it but results seem somewhat mixed. Anyone doing this? Results you are seeing?

I stumbled onto mine as well but I decided I would wait until I had the Seasonic cable even if it was a month or more. I was super lucky and got the cable in 2 days and the same day as the 4090

I am using the Seasonic specific cable. It's just 2 to 1 but I have the Prime P/S and its Titanium rated.

And it is deep enough that the cable doesnt even come close to the window.

And then some people just do not want to ever use a controller.

You can get a 3080 for around $500 now and it is pretty easy to ask questions and get a feel for the card. There ARE honest people selling them out there.

Maybe I just had good timing but sent a query though the support page on Seasonic. I think that they really wanted me to buy it from BTOS but offered to ship me one since they were getting them in the next day and could probably snag one before sending on. It is a great cable.

I sometimes wonder if someone will try the Larabee approach again some time. It had a lot of promise.

Not sure if true but I have a Gigabyte Windforce and an ASUS motherboard B550. Absolutely zero coil whine and I am super sound sensitive, the sound of refrigerators and flourescent lights can drive me up the wall.

Not true, just bought a 4090 for $1599 and it really wasn't all that hard to find online.

Totally untrue. You may think a 4090 is just for professionals but in reality it is the first 4K card that truly allows you to do high refresh rate gaming at 4K in almost all titles. That is a big deal. IMO 4K native gaming is MUCH nicer than 1440. And you could make a decent gaming PC even...

Phanteks 600 is perfect for it. Room to spare. Fantastic case.

I highly recommend anyone with a Seasonic P/S get one of their cables. They just got them in Thursday BTOS will have them early January, and I was able to pay for one through customer support. Really nice individual cable. Audible click for the 12VHPWR cable and no worrisome bends at all...

Just got a 4090 and looking to build a complete PC with it. Selling my current system: $1200, greatly prefer local pick up in North County San Diego (can also boot system while here) Phanteks P600S case Seasonic Focus 750W P/S ASUS B550 Motherboard AMD 5600x CPU Noctua 15S cooler ASUS TUF 3080...

Seems like a complete fail to me. Well below expected performance based on their benchmarks, coil whine and bad power regulation. Should have released it as the 7700 series and accelerated the refresh.

I am not in a super big rush but to be honest I had no plans on the 4090 until I saw that the 7900xtx is basically a complete fail. Obviously the silicon bug rumor is correct. They should have called it the 7700xt and 7700xtx and priced it at $700 and accelerated the refresh. Will likely try and...

I will wait for the RDNA3 reviews. If it is very close to 4090 and I am at least 70% above my TUF 3080 I will consider it. Not doing an entire new PC to use a 4090. I suspect that DLS3 will be disappointing.

Agree. Will need to see how well it undervolts. My 3080 only draws about 235W right now and in most games its only a frame or two slower than stock and some like HZD actually faster. Plus frame rate stays consistent. If AMD is moving away from a chiplet design that will be really disappointing...

The M32U was OK. I hated the PG32UQ. Ultimately decided on 48" LG C1 OLED and very happy. 42" OLEDs are coming this year,

If you primarily game, watch videos, surf and even do basic office productivity the LG OLED is unbeatable IMO. And even at 48" the size becomes "normal" VERY fast.

Well Samsung announced a 34" OLED yesterday. Some think it is an ultrawide but being as it will use a brand new panel technology I think it might be 16:9 but just a little bigger to justify some of the cost difference. Pricing will be interesting. Also a 42" C2 coming. Supposedly specifically...

I just ran the ClearType optimizer from 28" on my LG C1 and I guess I am pretty much blind. Every single example looked super crisp, I can not notice a "picture structure" at all. Some were more bold than others but there were no shadows or halos or jaggies or anything I could see on any of it...

I use 125%. Tons of desktop space very readable text

I had one M32U that had a very nice picture. But a bad power board. The replacement was just not good at all. Not in stuck pixels or defective elements, it just did not look good. Went for a LG 48" C1 and not sure why anyone would settle for one of these displays. Plus a 42" version is coming out.

People seem to like to say this but I have owned a 48" C1 and I find text way better than either of my 32" displays. I mean I am only doing normal stuff like email, Excel, surfing etc...but I find the text outstanding. In fact I find everything about it incredible.

I decided after try #3 that neither the M32U or Asus one were worth a damn so getting a 48" C1 that will be games only.

Interesting. I think AMD will completely destroy Nvidia next generation. I think they will be able to position their cards against Nvidia at any place they want. I see nothing from Nvidia that will compete with a multiple chiplet graphics card from AMD. Seems like they can easily do 2X 6900XT...

Doubt all you want I am just sharing my experience. I actually thought the PG32UQ looked terrible in general. Maybe mine was defective. It is most certainly going back.

My M32U had a power issue so I had to return it and "upgraded" to a PG32UQ. HDR was abysmal. HDR looked quite decent on the M32U but I am not going to go for round 3

You literally have no idea what you are talking about. To say that HDR and specular highlights on OLED are not extremely impressive is simply ludicrous. Perceived brightness of a TV or monitor is very complex. Much more than just the measured lumens level of a TV defines the impact of HDR...

Just got a M32U. On the HDR just saying it sux is useless feedback. While it does not give a cinematic version of HDR are people actually watching movies on their 32" screen? And as example. HDR does make a clear and noticeable improvement in HZD. It looks WAY better in HDR. So I think that...

Amazon has stock of Fi32U at a good price and 3 payment option.

I get around 110 FPS maxed everything in POE with 3080. If I turn global illuimination off and leave everything else it is like 170FPS

Maybe. I just really don't understand the overdrive stuff and how it relates to VRR and what upgrade I would see from a 60Hz monitor in real world usagae

I have a NVIDIA 3080 so my PC is about as fast as anyones. I think POE runs at like 200 FPS and WOW can run 144 FPS+. I was saying I dont think you can get that in say HZD or RDR2 or like a Cyberpunk. I was just making a comment that for most AAA titles I dont think the 3080 will even run them...

I feel dumb I read the whole article and your post and I have almost no idea what this is telling me in real world use. I have a AMD 6600 and Nvidia 3080, and will use it for both work and gaming. I don't play FPS, but do play games like HZD and RDR2 and pretty much nothing in first person. I...
