Just got mine yesterday from vr-wave.com and i can say that i am happy with them, but there is no way i would be able to do any fov improving face gasket mods, i also can't even see a reason for them in the first place, it looks great to my old eyes:)
if you have a 3d printer or access to a...
Installed the Phanteks mount last night, couldn't wait for a 4.0 cable so i pre-emptively set my slots to 3.0. the included cable would not work in the middle pcie slot because of the way it stresses downward, i need the top slot to fit a pcie usb card since reading about Reverb G2 not liking...
I think so to, i am undervolting my 3080 card, running a vr ready benchmark creates a total system draw of 350ish watts at the plug. undervolting brought that down from 420ish watts. it also dropped temp by 7-10c.
So installing my gigabyte 3080 and i had heard people mention pushing the power pins out of the connecter, and after several attempts to install the power plugs i can see how that would happen, some of the pins are not centered, used a small flathead to center the off ones and the connector...
Putting together a system right now with the be quiet dark 900 rev 2 case, and a dark rock pro 4 cooler. have not finished and still getting everything working, but by this weekend it should all be together.
hoping for ok to good thermals and low noise.
i like the case so far, could use a bit...
Just upgraded my whole system from i7 6700k to amd 5800x, and it went mostly smooth, would not post with the cpu, luckily i got a board with a bios recovery feature and got it updated.
booted fairly quickly and every thing seems to be working, was installing drivers and stuff this morning but...
I have a 4 year old EVGA g2 750 right now, i have never over clocked or stressed my system that i know of.
upgrading from i7-6700k, msi 1080 seahawk ek, 3 spinner hard drives and 2 ssd.
to 5800x, gigabyte gaming oc 3080, same drives.
is this power supply going to be enough? not planning on any...
Its so cheap because you are the product, I was not willing to give facebook that much of a peek into my living space, but i am trying to convince the wife she should, she is all over that facebook stuff:) ill wait for my G2
Very happy to see you are enjoying you first VR, this will be my first...
how modded? i have had skyrim vr for over a year and never owned a hmd yet:) got it on sale and been waiting to enter the market ever since. but i normally mod my skyrim until it breaks, then go back one step:)
i have a 3080 on order and it should beat the g2 getting here by a wide margin it...
Does your local computer store have a service department? mine said if i can't update the bios myself when it all comes together they will for 30 bucks.
This probably does not help you, but there are a ton of that board in stock at canadacomputers.com, how can they be so hard to get else ware. maybe they will ship international?
I have not had a fan fail on me in years, 10 maybe? more i think, my old msi 980 is in my wifes computer and in use daily and the fans seem fine. that just seems like such a non issue. my rad fans have been running 24/7 since 2016.
Whats msrp for EVGA 3090 ftw3? its on the shelves and has been for at least a week at my local CC for $2400 CDN, a lot of 3090's are in stock an on the shelves.
What about multi-mon support, i have 4 monitors on my 1080 now, the 4th i mostly use to stream hockey games to when its in season, otherwise pi-hole stats, so i can live without it. but i do daily drive all 3 of the other ones, and with a vr headset on the way where would i plug it into? a...
haha, ya i would still go, ill pop in at lunch and see if i can preorder something, the reverb is not even close to getting here, so i should not be in such a hurry.
Stopped by my local CC on the way home tonight to find out what their plan is for people waiting in line when they open tomorrow, and there is already a guy waiting in line! and they told him they don't actually have any cards, he is waiting to preorder. my god. i will pop in tomorrow and see...
Canadacomputers is taking instore backorders, a week ago i was 6th in line, now i am next. this is on a 5800x, i know the least desirable one, but also the one with the shortest line:)
Couldn't even guess, first computer was a 286/12 with a 4 colour display. so whatever came with that, i do still have a few of the cards i got over the years, 3dfx, matrox, some ati's.
I am going back and forth on this, and i think i might just get a normal hero and if the fan bothers me to much ill get a chipset water block and add it to the loop.
Just read a reddit post announcement and they said this "In addition, the board is compatible with monoblocks like those from EK which were designed for the CROSSHAIR VIII HERO."
so that's good news, now my next worry is my case is open air with no real airflow, TT P5 with water cooled cpu and...
Sorry all, i should have posted this in the amd motherboard section i think.
I might wait and see what the VIII Dark Hero board is worth when it comes out, will meet my silence need/want.
I just hope the VIII Hero monoblock fits.
thanks for your help.
speakers are Edifier 5.1 S550, had them for a few years but love them. so i will have to stick with a soundcard/onboard. rarely use headphones.
going to post a link to the blocks that are available at dazmode, am i limiting myself to much by wanting to buy one of these waterblocks...
