Y'all scaring me! I been running a 4090 FE for a couple months. Just upgraded mobo/ram/cpu to an AM5 rig with it though, and the Asrock x670E steel legend came with a support. After a youtube video, I guess I know what I'm supposed to do with it lol. Guess I got a little free time project. Card...

Seems like Amazon tends to match when newegg does this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CC88BCG9/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 I got it for this price 6 weeks ago, and noticed it spiked back up the next day. There was a lil piece of the plastic missing off the top of one of...

I can see the dragon flying by, laying waste to the poor villagers, when I just close my eyes by the memories conjured up from this thread. :D

Just curious, are the people "poo poo'ing" these deals dropping a $100-$200 on Windows?

For what it's worth, I got a Asrock x670e Steel Legend coming for the 7800x3d. And just wanna make sure my 4090 is happy. :D Appreciate all the input. Starting to lean back into 2x16. Even if I get 2x32, I've pretty much decided it'll be G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 6000CL30

My CPU from Amazon is delayed a bit, figured I'd shoot my shot! PM me if you got one to part with. Obviously, hoping for cheaper than market "new" price. Thanks heatware: texuspete00

So I haven't seen any nice definitive links on the benefits of Interleaving on the AM5 platform. Upgrading for gaming, to a 7800x3d, from a 5900x, but haven't picked up the RAM yet. When I got the 5900x, I remembered seeing enough info on the benefits of interleaving, that after an attempt to...

Ygpm. Guess I'll just need your PayPal. Thanks!

I'm running a Corsair TX-850 almost 14 years now, that I got from RMA. It was still shrink wrapped when I received it, so I assume it was new. Funny enough the one I purchased didn't last 6 months. Despite the similar name, I get this is not the same but... I guess it happens.

Awesome. Thanks! I thought when I price checked amazon after newegg, it was basically the same price for the 1000w and on Amazon at least, the 1200w was only $10 more. Well there is still a $10 diff but it's more like 170 vs 180. Anyway, I ordered it! Seems a good enough deal still...

Probably talking to the OP instead of my hijacking ass, but fwiw, I did do some research and just not good at decisions ha. And OP should basically have asked the same questions in one of the threads... but otherwise yeah probably hoping for someone to tell him it's fine ha (sorry OP). :)

Thanks. Yeah I think if I'm going to upgrade, just based on age for the first time ever, might as well go up in wattage a little. Was thinking 1000 watts, but man if the price difference isn't small and tempting on some of these to go higher. Well I don't wanna blow money for nothing...

Running my 4090 on a damn near 14 year old Corsair TX850 I just figured out. What psu would you recommend I, I mean the OP, get? 😅

Yet another WTB Alan Wake thread! Been seeing some deals made for like 20. Would love to get in on that action if I could! I have a 4090 I bought second hand this past weekend (yay!). He used the code already though. Hopefully that won't stop me from being able to use a new one I buy. Thanks...

By that you mean, preorder or something? Funny thing I just bought my first Pi, a Pi4 like a month ago :/ But I do like it!

Maybe a long shot someone close to Fairfield, CT 06825, will see this, but sick of the Facebook folks! Asking $750. Not written for techies but : "This was the top of the line Samsung model when I got it (March 2019). It is still going to be easily better than the average run of the mill set...

Yeah a 512GB boot drive is pretty brutal for an often used/main rig. Love me some cloning. I've bought single SSDs before that basically amount to 3 maybe 4 upgrades as I shuffle things around! Last 512GB went into the GFs laptop for her, and so when I have to fix it I don't want to poke myself...

Pulled the trigger on the P41 myself!

Down to 174ish at Amazon. I followed the second and third link Mr Guverment provided about this write issue, and seems like a firmware out almost a year ago might have fixed it? (Firmware 5B2QGXA7). I was tempted to get the heatsink version for 189, though that doesn't have 10% cash back for...

No ambiguous "up to" 10% off for me. Just 10% straight up. I do have an Amazon card though. Prettty much so I can occasionally get 10% off things. I had a Chase card that gives 5% already when I got it a few years back. I was on a spree and was getting 10% on musical instruments. I don't know...

Super tempted. I have an Amazon store card. 10% cash back with that btw.

I'm on my second Zotac, no problems. 1080Ti first and now a 3080. The Ti was even an open box Amazon Warehouse deals type thing. Though maybe part of it is I don't wanna get myself unnecessarily scared, and haven't looked THAT hard, what I hear against them is usually more like "ew, Zotac", than...

Keep mulling it over. I just have a pair of Logitech Z4's. These are better I know. I was playing most PC games through my TV plus surround, but been at the desk/monitor a bit more lately. Hmmm...

Oooh... you said flAshlight nerds. :D

Best Buy got nothing on a 77" CX refurb for 2k though. Doesn't look like they want to deliver their open box $2600 "excellent condition", or any of the other, open box ones either. CX new priced like C1, so delivery only seems like a real option for a new one of those. Edit: ooooh maybe they'll...

Now you got me obsessing lol. Wish I had a truck. Closest store with it is an hour away. The wheels "upstairs" are turning at least! Lol

Ram gone. Open to offers on the cpu and mobo. I do have some z87 and some Pentium G3258 or whatever it's called in a TV PC, I could upgrade with this. So I probably won't take something embarassing just to get it out of here, but lmk! :LOL:

Bump with price drops and now parting out

I've had all 4 sticks in the board for probably about 2 years with total stability (I threw in the second 2 to run some Cloudera VMs when I was unemployed trying to learn some stuff), but I don't recall what speeds I ran at. :/ I did only make the secondary 16GB of ram a separate thing since I...

Price drop $325 shipped for the combo. $350 with all 32gb of ram

PRICE DROPS and parting out! I have an i7 4790k, ASRock Z97 Extreme 6, and 4*8 HyperX DDR3 1866 kit, for sale. Board and CPU SOLD Two 2*8GB DDR3 Hyper X. I have run all four sticks on the board in dual channel, don't remember the speeds: SOLD I have heat under : texuspete00 I'm used to...

I feel a little better. I would hope to see more of what that chart calls "Desktop Idle". I mean if I stare at CoreTemp long enough, I might see a couple blips of ~1.0v. But probably spending 80-90% of the time at 1.45-1.48v, not doing anything. Thought Asus might be up to something weird to...

Funny how we all have our own little things. I figured, if the consoles have 8 cores, I wanted 12 "just cause" lol. I wanted the 5900x since release. I already had to mutter to myself last gen, when I had a "lowly" i7 4790k, the consoles at least had crappy Jaguar cores, and I at least had 8...

Thanks guys. Ultimately I only waited a day or two and got one. With it being the last purchase, I def had ants in my pants. I got the 420 version. It was easy enough to mount by myself. Read some weirdness about needing an extra hand, maybe with a different rev or something (I got the 4). The...

I had been out of the game for a bit. Did a crash course here and Google when finally upgrading. I was surprised to see the VID fluctuating around, but mostly over 1.45 VID on an Asus TUF Gaming X570 pro. Idle is like 41C. I thought maybe I mounted the cooler poorly, but I think it's more the...

Does the Rev 4 hardware basically alleviate all the AM4 woes I been hearing about? Sounds like it might still be a bit of a pita to install, but not toooo bad? Any reason not to get the biggest size I can fit? I realize performance drops off after 280, but for 30 bucks ehh.. Hoping to cool...

Not bad for something being scalped not that long ago.. https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-5900X-24-Thread-Processor/dp/B08164VTWH/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1

If it's sold you could close the thread so I don't weep into my coffee 😭

Glad to hear the d-pad is better. It "looks" more like the 360 one, and that one was garbage. Ok so maybe it's just that it is disk-like shaped. But the old old one was bad enough I shuddered a little lol.

Funny, someone asks me today and this one goes up to 899. Any good deals on gaming laptops out there?
