    I'm going to go and say no CPUs are putting a CPU 1-2 generations older to "shame" in gaming.

    Amazon CEO Andy Jassy threatens employees to return to office or "things are probably not going to work out for you"

    Amazon has basically the most generous return policy of any company out there. Lots of people thoroughly abuse it. Not suprised they are cracking down on some.

    More Pictures of NVIDIA's Cinder Block-sized RTX 4090 Ti

    Most 120 outlets are on 15a circuits which is going to start running into issues if you have multiple 1000w draw computers on them. How long until we’re putting in 240v, 20a circuits for computers.

    FCC wants to hear about how internet data caps affect peoples lives.

    I'd be surprised if it was much. Family of 4 here with uncapped 1 gbps ($60/month)

    US Government Breached

    This is hugely irresponsible. This zero day was known last month and these agencies should have shut it down until the patch was installed. Our company had to do the same thing as we also use moveit. We just did it as soon as the exploit was made public. It's a SQL injection attack that gives...

    3080 Hydro Copper/3090 Ti FE /4080 (New to Cooling)

    I've taken apart many FE's and they are not bad. Plenty of videos too. Only somewhat tricky part of the disconnecting the ribbon cables.

    Scalpers are struggling to sell the RTX 4080 above MSRP, but retailers won't let them return the cards

    Yea, they are most likely dumping them for break even or slight loss. Their is nothing that is going to raise the price like crypto. And rumors of a price drop could hurt them further.

    Scalpers are struggling to sell the RTX 4080 above MSRP, but retailers won't let them return the cards

    Price was always way too high. The fact scalpers thought they could get more than $1300-1400, which would barely break them even after fees is some poor judgement.

    Nvidia 4080 Reviews are out!

    NVIDIA will likely continue to hold back inventory to sell off 30 series. Probably going to be 6 months minimum before the prices start dropping on these cards. Outrageously priced given the market.

    Nvidia RTX 4090 power connectors melting?

    Guess a benefit of the 3000 series FE cards was the connector was angled at 45 degrees.

    4090 Reviews are up.

    True, but it's using around 500w under load and close to 700w if overclocked. 15A circuits should max at around 1440w for continuous load. Add in monitors, cpu, etc and anything else plugged in on that circuit and you could run into issues.

    Going to need to be putting your computer on a 20A circuit pretty soon at this rate.

    NVIDIA announces May 23 Computex 2022 Keynote, the company will present ‘the latest products for gamers’

    Exactly, that is sort of the whole point when people having to voluntarily purchase your product. You get people to do that by providing a product people want to purchase which is done by making it good.

    NVIDIA announces May 23 Computex 2022 Keynote, the company will present ‘the latest products for gamers’

    Biggest issue is the looming ethereum proof of stake change which is going to prevent speculative investments in hardware. Sure, other coins can be mined with GPUs but etherum is the VAST majority of it, and if 20% of the ethereum computing power were to move to other cryptos it could...

    Intel rumored to announce Arc A750, A380 desktop cards in late May/early June for 350/150 USD respectively

    EKWB Lays Off 25% of Workforce, Blames Lower Watercooling Sales

    That's true but I think the pandemic played a large part of that. Price of copper since 2020 has doubled. Labor costs have risen too.

    EKWB Lays Off 25% of Workforce, Blames Lower Watercooling Sales

    For sure. Plus you're talking about making blocks for sometimes a single card or a monoblock for a single motherboard. EK has a selection covering a huge number of devices. More that competitors.

    EKWB Lays Off 25% of Workforce, Blames Lower Watercooling Sales

    No issues here with a 3090 block and active backplate. However, using the correct size Phillips head is very important for small screws and easy to mess up because other sizes can work but have a higher chance of stripping. Wish they would not using Phillips altogether though.

    EKWB Lays Off 25% of Workforce, Blames Lower Watercooling Sales

    You say they haven't been innovative but I've seen plenty of innovative things. Their FE blocks, flat reservoirs, active backplates, waterblocks with no visible screws, distro plates, etc. Yea, all quite expensive but so is optimus.

    EKWB Lays Off 25% of Workforce, Blames Lower Watercooling Sales

    Really happy with my 3090 fe block and active backplate. Not a huge fan of their fittings though after using them. They could make the connection between their compression fittings and their zmt tubing be much better than it is.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is real

    I think it helps that buying a top end card, while expensive, can have some or all the cost (or all of it) offset by mining.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is real

    Oh for sure, but power and temperature keeps increasing but space on the backside of the card does not. At least on the front side you just keep eating up more slots to allow for additional cooling.

    Good, and lets hope they never do it again. Such a terrible design when PCIe spec allows for no cooling on that side.

    Daily Mining Profits

    I can see that point, but by my math, Eth prices would need to be well under $1k to be unprofitable. Daily output according to whattomine for a single 3090: Output: 120MH/s Energy: 300w Revenue: 0.001677 eth Power cost: $0.80 (7.2 kwhr @ $0.11) Eth cost: $3k That would make breakeven eth...

    Daily Mining Profits

    Still doesn’t make sense unless your long term view of ethereum is that it is going to 0. Profitability in USD is determined when you sell, not when you mine.

    NVIDIA’s Miner vs. AMD’s Whiner - CES 2022

    Scalpers by definition cannot create demand because the card is being resold. Scalpers inflate the price by bringing it to the market clearing price for the available supply.

    Compact 12900k and 3090 build (MO-RA3)

    True, compact for ATX though if you ignore the mo-ra3. Coolant temp hovers around 30C under load before going through the rad so about 10C over ambient. Will install a temp sensor coming out of the rad eventually.
