Not much process improvement this time while 40xx gen got a big boost going from Samsung 8 to TSMC 4. 5070 Ti is probably the best deal. Cut-down 5080 die with the same 16GB.

It's just logic, more RMAs means more wait time for everyone, including you apparently. For me peace of mind is keeping an above average chip that hasn't increased Vmin and hasn't crashed in 21 months, while knowing it's under warranty for 3+ years still. It's not like a 14900K is a real...

There's posts all over Reddit of people waiting weeks for a replacement. 13900K are out of production and Intel didn't have any 14900K left so they're offering refunds. Go read if you want receipts haha. RMAing something that's not defective for peace of mind is not good advice. You might...

They're not all defective. I've had a 13900K for a long time and always undervolted because it's air cooled, and never had problems. I test by clearing the nVidia shader cache and launching Robocop Rogue City. It doesn't crash undervolted or at stock setting. It has a 5 year warranty, I'll RMA...

I use Intel Default Extreme profile and set SVID behavior to Auto (Z690 Hero/13900K). This sets AC Load Line to 0.50 instead of the default 1.10. It's a good idea to disable IA CEP/SA CEP/Undervolt Protection if you don't want to lose performance.

Good news these panels are available in January. Would've gotten the Dell if it wasn't curved. :cry:

It's not hard to find 4090 in Canada (except FE), and it's raining 4080/4070. I expect a price drop for these 2.

I think it stands for Black.

Yeah, my TUF 3080 10GB v2 LHR has similar numbers. I don't remember the fan %, but it's around 2000rpm while gaming. (Flight Sim in 4K) He's running Furmark with fan at 1500rpm.

I have G.Skill Trident Z5 5600C36 with 12900K/Asus Z690 Hero, works perfectly. I went safe as this runs at 1.2V while the 6000 is 1.35V. DDR4 is a more reasonable choice, but if you don't upgrade often then maybe DDR5 is a better option.

I have a 1000W PSU but my UPS is 900W max. Take out the 3 monitors and network gear hooked up to it and I have about 750W left for the computer. 12900K system without video card maxes out at 300W, so 450W is left for the video card. Hopefully 4080 is under that.

Newegg Canada has Asus TUF 3070 Ti for 999$ in stock. I got a TUF 3080 10GB for 1099$ from Canada Computers yesterday. (sold out now)

Wait for the next crypto crash, it'll be raining cheap cards on ebay and retailers won't have a choice to sell at MSRP or less. Let's hope it happens in 2022. Newegg bundles are ridiculous, Canada Computers is a bit better only forcing a motherboard or power supply purchase without inflating...

That guy wrote that he negotiated a deal directly with nVidia for all those cards. That's ridiculous...those cards would all sell at retail easily, so why is nVidia selling in large quantities directly to miners? Can't wait for Intel to make a 3070 equivalent for less money.

Manual voltage = 1.300V Load Line Calibration = 4 1-2 cores ratio = 55 3-4 cores ratio = 52 5-8 cores ratio = 51 Used the AI Features page to check what 2 cores required the least voltage. (the "best" cores...) Set max ratio per core to 52 for the 6 other cores. The 2 "best" cores leave on...

You're running 5.7GHz 2 cores and 5.4GHz all cores? Nice! Must be a better CPU than mine, I wish you had an Asus board to compare SP. (mine is SP 88, seems good but not great lol)

1.300V on a NH-D15S 1-2 cores @ 5.5GHz, 3-4 cores @ 5.2GHz, 5-8 cores @ 5.1GHz Asus Z690 Hero (used the BIOS to identify the 2 best cores)

Got another motherboard yesterday and did some testing with Noctua NH-D15S and 12900K... Asus Z690 Hero with MCE disabled, rest is all default. Case is Fractal Meshify 2 Compact with 2x140mm Scythe Kaze Flex fans in front and 120mm in the rear. Cinebench R23 gave 1994 single core and 27200...

I had all the parts ready on monday but the Asus Z690 Hero I received had a crooked HDMI port so I sent it back for replacement. Now it's out of stock so I'll probably get a refund. Looking at the Aorus Master maybe, or wait for another Hero. So sad, the most expensive board I've ever bought...

Not yet because my Asus Z690 Hero had the HDMI port soldered improperly to the board and was sent back for replacement. It's for a 12900K.

Bought a Noctua D15S and the LGA1700 bracket on Amazon. Didn't want to wait for the free one lol.

Was planning on the Gigabyte Z690 Aero D, but it's low on rear USB ports and will probably release later. So I preordered an Asus Z690 Hero, as that's the only board I saw with Thunderbolt. The 12900K price was a bit lower than I expected, but the motherboard ends up costing way too much lol...

From my understanding the m.2 slot running off the CPU is PCIE 4.0, and only the 2 PCIE slots are 5.0. The Asus Z690 Hero can do it with the Hyper m.2 card, but it has to be installed in one of the 2 PCIE 5.0 slots running off the CPU (video card drops to 8X...), not the bottom slot running off...

The adapter you bought is 4K 30Hz only.

I have that MSI card in my HTPC, I picked it because it has DP+HDMI vs others that have HDMI+DVI. (it can do dual 4K...) It doesn't get very hot.

It would be the same DPI as a 27 inch 1080p monitor. For games I doubt you'd see a difference unless you have both side by side, and the bigger size will be more enjoyable.

JBOD is single disks, if one disk breaks it won't affect the other. RAID-0 is striping, if one disk breaks you lose everything. RAID-1 is mirroring, if one disk breaks you don't lose anything, but you only get 10TB. So if you need the 20TB, use JBOD and backup the important stuff.

Looks worse than my LG 27UD68, and costs much more. No thanks!

nVidia Riva TNT on a Pentium 2 desktop, because games went from unplayable to awesome! Performance-wise, probably ATI 9700 Pro. (upgraded from Geforce 2 GTS)

Total: 170$ https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-T5-Portable-SSD-MU-PA500B/dp/B073GZBT36 I have the older T3 250GB, small and fast.

4K Netflix on PC is a mess. I have an i7-7700, use the onboard video hooked up to a 4K monitor, and it still won't work because my Gigabyte Z170X-UD5 doesn't have the required LSPCon. I just watch it on my Sony Android TV's native app, has HDR too.

I bought an Herman Miller Mirra (fully adjustable model) about 5 years ago. Best 700$ I ever spent. It still looks like new, and I can sit on it all day and never feel uncomfortable.

Thanks, didn't know that.

Fractal Design Define C NZXT S340 No USB Type-C though, I think Inwin makes one with that.

I think DVI is limited to 2560x1600 @60Hz. 4K 60Hz can be done with DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 2.0.

I have a similar issue with Intel graphics and a 1080p--4K--1080p triple monitor setup. The 4K is an LG 27UD68 connected via DisplayPort. When it goes to sleep, it appears as being disconnected and Windows will shuffle opened apps to the second monitor. Some people are able to fix this by...

I vote for the 2TB Crucial MX300 as well. I'm not a fan of caching and RAID on home computers, I'd rather keep things simple.

The only one is the LG Ultrafine 5K, but it uses Thunderbolt and has no buttons. It's really meant to be used with Macs. The Dell and HP 5K monitors are from 2 years ago and use 2 DisplayPort 1.2 in MST. Why aren't they updating these monitors with DisplayPort 1.3?

HDPLEX H1.S "Passive Cooling for 65W TDP CPU" i5-6600T is 35W, you'll be fine. That case could cool a regular i5-6600.
