picked up a 16gb last week and im pretty happy with it, still not happy with price but what can you do, at least i got it for msrp.
got the powercolor reaper version for the size, to clear all my water cooling. then after getting it installed i decided to install a mobo i had been sitting on, got a massive leak in my cpu block and ended up ripping it all apart and going back to air. wish it would have happened before i got the card, i would have gotten a 3 fan model.
this little thing ocs great but there isnt enough cooler. with +200 core, -50mv, +100 mem, its pushing to and holding 3400+ BUT it gets toasty, with the hot spot and mem pushing 90s and the core is sitting at 70ish.
keeping the oc within "comfortable" temps its fine and the system is now probably quieter than my custom 360 loop(cpu and gpu)...

Don't you hate when that happens?!?
I'm sitting on a 7800x3d and a MSI Pro B850M-A mobo that I don't feel like installing because of my 360mm is stretched to the limit, plus I don't feel like converting it to AMD.
I wish I had 16GB of VRAM, hope your new precious brings you plenty of joy.

I feel your pain.
I've had a little black cloud over my head since I was spat out the womb.
I have no issues working on anyone else's rigs, but my own shit always acts the fool when ever I go to remove or add something.
I'm better off just building a whole new rig...that is if I could afford it.
Are you going to WC it?
 
Best thing about that RX 9060 XT is not much drop off if you only have a MSI B350M Gaming Pro board with PCIe 3 which is flashed to run a 5700x.

maybe, eventually... idk if the aio block and g12 adapter i have been using will work on it though, i havent found (havent looked too hard either) a screenshot of what the pcb looks like...

i saw zero difference when i put the new board in but i wanted to move up to get gen4 nvme support. they were smart keeping it x16.
 
thanks! yeah i could probably slap it on there, it will look ridiculous with the "giant" g12 bracket on it but it would work, i think....
 
I have the Sapphire model of the RX 9060 XT 16GB in that video, I plan to move it into my Raijntek Styx aluminum Micro ATX case in Red, it has a Power Color RX 580 8GB in it now set on my MSI B350m Gaming Pro with Ryzen 1600 AF, thinking about replacing with 5700x for the 65watt lower power draw, the board already has 32GB of DDR4 /3600Mhz Cl 18 Oloy OWL memory and the power supply is a Corsair CX 650M. all those items where cheap when bought new back then.

First mod I did too the Raijntek Styx aluminum Micro ATX case was to move the side window to the inside of side panel and very easy fix, unknown why Raijntek liked it on the outside of panel as to look kind of dumb.


Here is my case in silver aluminum https://www.newegg.com/white-raijintek-styx-series-micro-atx/p/2AM-002C-00035

I just got my new PC yesterday and I went all AMD this time, Asus 9060XT 16GB. Installing my first game (BF4) now so can't comment on performance yet but I read it is 7% slower than Nvidia 3080 and 150% cheaper. It also uses a lot less power than 3080. It was either 3080 or this and I went with this. AMD video card is better for Linux too so there is always that.
