Q704 is back in stock with a small price drop ($76 to $72).

PCIe 4.0 NICs have been out since at least 2020. How much bandwidth can you sustain right now? 10Gb isn't enough but 40Gb is out of reach. That's a massive spread. Try bifurcating your NIC's slot to x4/x4 in the bios and see how things behave. If performance is acceptable under load...

You can definitely stick a regular PSU in the case. However, you need to mind the cable lengths due to the inverted layout. I agree about pictures of the case. I linked the KitGuru review in the OP because it did a pretty good job filling the gaps where the pictures fail. Regarding the front...

Thanks, OP updated. If you ordered one of these combos at $150 due to this thread, consider reaching out to Newegg support for a (one-time) price match while they are still in stock.

It's not just fan quantity, but quality. Gentle Typhoons are the kind of fan that get swapped in, not out. These fans are a big part of the value of this case. When this case hit $60 I wouldn't be surprised if people bought them just to shuck the fans.

Oh boy. This got posted to slickdeals with the prices transposed: https://slickdeals.net/f/17345502-seasonic-syncro-q704-case-w-syncro-750w-psu-76-newegg No wonder they went poof. If you were looking to pick up just the case, keep an eye out for people canceling their orders once they...

Yep. This isn't some earth-shattering, flawless product. $450 in 2020 dollars for this case, fans, and the 750W Syncro unit? Hell no. But today at $150? I'd argue that's a compelling foundation for a budget build.

The freestyle -$30 combo offer on the 7800X3D is dead.

It's nice to have some thermal headroom in a performance-oriented build. You have negative. You can see the performance degrading over time in the bandwidth plots. It will only get worse as the intake filters clog, ambient temperature goes up, etc.. This isn't something like PBO where the...

DDR5 modules can indeed throw off some heat, especially when the PCB is densely packed with DRAM ICs. The modules will also automatically throttle transactions as the chips get too hot; the system will slow down but may avoid crashing. Also, the min/max ddr5 temperatures in hwinfo64 may be...

Another p44 pro 2TB promo at newegg. $105 w/ promo code LDDCV2922. Use the link in the OP. Matches the low seen last month.

Newegg has the 1TB P44 Pro at $55 w/ promo code SSCVA535 (shell shocker). Pricing on the 2TB P44 Pro has been holding at $110.

Damn, that sucks. You may want to test with a clean slate. Fresh OS install, minimum components necessary, disable fast startup / hibernation ASAP. It could be the OS environment, the .inf file, the TV, the graphics card, the HDMI cable, one of the ports on either end, etc.. Anyway, good...

Head into the device manager and go to the Monitors section. Double click on the listed monitors, head into the drivers section, and make sure the driver provider is Microsoft. If you're instead seeing something like your unsigned .inf, uninstall the device (or roll back to the generic windows...

Welp, so much for that idea. Thanks for confirming. When you boot to a black screen, is the computer completely locked up? TV kicked to standby mode or fully on but outputting a black screen? Can you tap numlock on the keyboard and the LED cycles on and off, move the mouse cursor around...

And you've confirmed in the device manager or something like gpu-z that the current driver is actually still at 425.31? I'm asking this because I've experienced Windows 10 steamrolling driver installs over and over until the hardware device was explicitly blacklisted from automatic updates via...

The reset done by the CRU utility should be more thorough than the single monitor device removal performed earlier. Maybe that thoroughness matters for your situation, maybe not. The intent of using CRU is to eliminate the monitor driver being unsigned as a suspect. You may want to confirm...

It's worth a shot trying out the reset-all.exe program provided with CRU and re-importing / applying the .inf. If after doing this the EDID override still doesn't take automatically after a reboot, you may be running into a recent nvidia driver bug mentioned by ToastyX. If the TV's built-in...

CRU sets up EDID overrides via the registry instead of using unsigned drivers.

First, make sure you have a backup of the unsigned .inf file for the 3DTV. Next, remove the offending monitor from the device manager so you aren't prevented from booting up. After this, try using CRU to import the unsigned .inf driver and apply the custom EDID for you. Link...

Looks like it's back up to $391 - $10.

Gold P31 promos have ended. Promos have returned on the Platinum P41: 2TB $108.49, 1TB $55.09. The Platinum P41 1TB price has dipped quite a bit this time. Still worse $/TB than the 2TB, but the gap has mostly closed. Edit: Well, that was fast. Platinum P41 promos are gone as of 12PM EST.

Updated the OP with prime day pricing. The P41 2TB price has dropped quite, so I've tossed it in as well.

Update 9/5: P44 Pro promo is over, pausing updates on this post. This post tracked sales of SK hynix consumer SSDs for two months: 2023-07-04 to 2023-09-04. This included the performance-oriented PCIe gen4 SK hynix Platinum P41 and its clone the Solidigm P44 Pro, as well as the exceptionally...

Sorry, that's my fault. I trimmed a query from the link and apparently that's the result once things go OOS. Lesson learned, link updated.
