    How much would you pay over MSRP for a 3080/3090?

    Do it in raffle style and limit it to users who have at least 300+ posts and have had an account for at least a few years. Just to make sure a solid established user gets it. If I could pay an extra $200 to avoid the headache I think I but only after another month of this. I have some...

    Who is buying a 3090?

    I can't wat to put the XC3 in my itx case. The 980ti is already real close to the shroud so I know the 3080 will be even more snug. :D

    **buyers only** Were you able to secure a 3080?

    I here ya but their 10 year warranty extension for only 60 bucks if registered in first 90 days is hard to pass up. :p I was also trying for Founders since my H200 is kinda limiting on gpu thickness and most cards were 2.5 slots or bigger! Also keep in mind Amazon hasn't gone up yet so they...

    **buyers only** Were you able to secure a 3080?

    Got order through on newegg when it finally loaded the checkout page at a blazing 9:03 and just received the email it was cancelled by Newegg for "Out Of Stock Order Voided". Even while Newegg was pending I was still F5ing Amazon/BB/NV/B&H/EVGA since I wanted to be sure in case they cancelled...

    2080 Ti for $1000 confirmed, HDMI 2.1/VRR confirmed dead for another year

    I'll be buying a Gsync monitor sometime this month which means I'll be stuck with NV for the next half decade. These prices really don't bode well for our wallets. If I was buying any gpu right now honestly all these $200-240 980ti are a steal. If you get one that OCs to 1500 you're looking at...

    Ultrawide gsync hdr monitor?

    Both those will be using VA panels which we all hope will be greatly improved on the ghosting/overshoot problems currently in the top uw 35" monitors. They will also come in the $2k price range. On the IPS front LG is currently running into issues with their 34gk950g 3440x1440 144hz hdr 400...

    Intel Coffee Lake Core i5-8600K vs 7600K at 5GHz Review @ [H]

    I was thinking i3 8100 so still a quad as long as some cheap 300 series boards pop up. Otherwise yeah looking at 1300x or 1400 just for the HT and have a old 780 that can still run things well enough. I would love a 1600 but since trying to keep costs down and she wouldn't really need it and...

    Intel Coffee Lake Core i5-8600K vs 7600K at 5GHz Review @ [H]

    I'm building a rig for the GF for Destiny 2 so I was pretty excited to see how these stacked up. I was hoping for great performance so I could update my rig and give her my Ryzen 7 rig on the sly. From this though I might go base I3 with a cheapo board and just wait on Zen+/2 for my own rig...

    AMD Ryzen Memory Analysis with Flare-X : 20 Apps & 17 Games, up to 4K

    Yeah, I wish they had also given us the 99/ .1 as the biggest gains folks with faster ram seem to be there. Though it was odd how often cl18 and 16 ended up on top over 14 in so many tests. Though I completely disagree with their conclusion. No one should be buying bottom tier ram for...

    Reports about Ryzen 7 being smoother than intel

    I think the small issue folks forget to account for is, that unlike reviewers that use fresh windows installs with little to no other software installed, users have tons of garbage eating up cpu cycles and ram. With enough garbage running in the background it can really hamper cpu performance...

    Ryzen with 3600MHz RAM Benchmark

    Currently very few boards have the bios capability to mess with the blck so only a handful of users can even test it. And with all the bricks Asus caused with their friendly windows auto bios updater even less boards for folks to test with. My poormans gaming 3 doesn't but I have some...

    Weird Win 10 Pro driver issues for X370

    You are. Its a new cpu platform, with a new chipset , and it's within the first month. People rightfully call early adopters "beta testers" for a reason. :p

    AMD Ryzen 7 1700: 4+0 cores destroy 8 cores 16 Threads in Doom/Deus EX

    I wonder if maybe because of the disabled cores the temps and boost are allowing higher clocks as well which would make these numbers a bit inflated. Hoping more tests with controlled clocks come out but I don't believe the numbers in that bench. Let's hope others can confirm these numbers.

    Best air cooler currently available for Ryzen?

    Silicon lottery rules apply to all three chips and even going with 1800x doesn't guarantee it. Get the 1700 and save the cash. As for coolers Ryzen doesn't seem limited by thermals so any of the normal high end ones will work fine. Just make sure it is one of the newer revisions with the AM4...

    I feel ya, I say just return it and just get a 1700 from the egg since we know now how little difference there really is between em. Newegg finally got my mobo and shipped it so I should have my PC it up and running by Wed at the latest. I've had my ram and cpu sitting next to me for over a...

    [H] Thermal Compound TIM Round-up Candidates

    Upgrading to Ryzen Question

    Can't talk much about your other games but I've been solely building my rig with two things in mind, encoding/streaming and FFXIV. I'm going from x79 at the low OC I expect small gains in raw fps but frametimes should improve greatly from what we're seeing in Sandy v Ryzen benches. The encoding...

    Not sure we can blame AMD for amazon's "abysmal" customer service. I'm pretty sure most of us wouldn't be so angry if they had told us early on they didn't have stock or offered 30 days of prime and next day shipping. Amazon's communication has been the problem and it's not like AMD is in...

    Ryzen 7 1700 + B350 Overclocking Tidbits

    Thank you for this, the bios bits are worrysome but it's early so let's hope they iron those out. We need more stuff like these for the outher b350 boards. Folks dreams of buying a 4c/8t chip and unlocking to 8/16 then OCing to 3.8 on a cheap board mustn't be dashed!

    I'm actually fine with that aspect and more than understand that. The thing that irks some of us is the fact they couldn't give us a straight answer for the last couple of days and some of us had to jump through hoops until someone told us they didn't have stock. The hero being oos is...

    Just got off chat and phone with Amazon.

Gonna call up frys and some local electronic stores and see what's up around me before I...

    Grats on your chips gents at least knowing it shipped should be a good sign though. Chat told me one day wouldn't affect my shipping . ; ; They told a few people it would and some it wouldn't so I think place in line must have some affect. Good luck though!

    Ryzen 1700 Delid Video...Solder Baby

    People do continue to ask about Intel chips every release so it could make sense for AMD to have supported it. Even if only in the hearts and minds battle using solder instead of tim should help people think more positively about the chips . Every bit of positivity helps change people's "value...

    Ryzen 1700 Delid Video...Solder Baby

    I would think it would be fine for him to do it. I don't think many test samples get sent back and if he's not giving other results until the weekend should be fine. Let's hope it lived though we don't want too many dead Ryzen chips this early on. :p
