3x 4090? thats... rtx 16360!

[fossil mulch]

lmao

@sacred sleet TRUE

[sacred sleet]

you are building 3 pcs with it?.. right?

[fossil mulch]

uh

4

I have a 4th 4090 coming

[sacred sleet]

oh, mind me asking, family building or customer, or just for fun?

[fossil mulch]

Just for me

[dense meteor]

@fossil mulch I'm assuming this is a work machine? Because I can't imagine one person needing 4 GPUs for normal gaming PC use

[fossil mulch]

Its 4 pcs

um

so 1 gpu for each

but yes one is for work

[fossil mulch]

that wasn't a question I asked ngl

but I have 3 keychron keyboards coming

[dense meteor]

Well yeah I understood it's multiple PCs

[fossil mulch]

so what was the question

[dense meteor]

Unless you had one of those mystical LGA 1700 dual CPU boards

Just what you are using the PCs for, because it's a lot of hardware you have there

[fossil mulch]

Oh

I was gonna upgrade my living room pc with one 4090

use a 4090 for my general server

then one for my work machine and one for gaming pc

[dense chasm]

I still don't understand

[fossil mulch]

hm?

[dense chasm]

just... why?

[fossil mulch]

cause I want the best

[dense chasm]

depending on the room locations and cpu requirements for work, I'd imagine you could have the gaming, living room, and work pc all be the same one

just route some cables to the living room for usage there and use the pc for both work and gaming

and what do you use a server for?

[fossil mulch]

uh I could

but would be more expensive

[fossil mulch]

Media, general processing, game servers etc

and it can double as a second pc if my work pc ever goes down

[dense meteor]

Yeah the reason you're getting pushback is that this doesn't really seem to be a good use of hardware, but it's whatever at this point, I hope you enjoy all of it!

[fossil mulch]

One of them isn;t

the media server probably doesn't need a 4090

but I ordered one too many

so I'll use it

but for gaming at 4k and working i wanted a 4090

and then my living room pc is across the house so

Returning them might also be an option but it's more work for me than it's worth

[stark canyon]

to me it just kind of seems like unnecessary spending

[dense meteor]

Yeah but it's their money,

This point, just let them enjoy it

[fossil mulch]

Probably

[stark canyon]

[fossil mulch]

but then again $1200 motherboard is def excessive

There is some peace of mind in having the best

[dense chasm]

How would it be more expensive than building two more entire pcs?

[fossil mulch]

1 more pc and just hiring electricians, getting fiber optic hdmi cables to go through the entire house etc

if not more expensive def more annoying

[dense chasm]

two more pcs since you'd use the pc for work and gaming as well, and why would you have to hire electricians?

[fossil mulch]

hm?

my living room pc is used plainly for gaming

[fossil mulch]

to route the cables through the walls

[dense chasm]

why route them through the walls then?

[fossil mulch]

just route them where?

[dense chasm]

along the walls or something, near the floor or ceiling

[dense chasm]

yeah, so no need for a separate gaming pc. three different usages collapsed into one pc instead of getting three pcs.

[fossil mulch]

work and gaming cant be one

[dense chasm]

why not?

[fossil mulch]

hardware seperation

sercurity thing

@dense chasm

[dense chasm]

what does that mean?

[fossil mulch]

It just means that the work I do and the pleasure things I do

need to be on two seperate devices

[dense chasm]

so, personal preference

[fossil mulch]

Uh

No

Security preference

[dense chasm]

then I imagine there's a better answer to that then "it just needs to be"

[fossil mulch]

@dense meteor mind helping me explain why hardware separation might be important for work stuff? I’m not sure how to best describe it

[torn wind]

@fossil mulch just curious but why do you need more than 2 pcs? and damn wtf do you do for a living

Also where do you order all the parts at once btw? planning to possibly build a new one

[fossil mulch]

I didn’t order them all at once

I had like 15 tracking codes to keep track of

[torn wind]

ah damn im tryna buy a 4090 white asus rog 24gb

but it's 2.7k rn

[fossil mulch]

then dont get a white one 😭

[torn wind]

I WANT IT

might as well just keep a prebuilt if I can't get my dream gpu

[fossil mulch]

uh no

thats not how that works

[fossil mulch]

to answer the first question scroll up and read lmao

[torn wind]

wym

[fossil mulch]

That’s not why you get a prebuilt

[torn wind]

???

I just bought like a 5k corsair just cause i didnt have dream gpu lol

if i get dream gpu then ill get a new pc

[fossil mulch]

Go for it ig

Just pay 2700 then

[torn wind]

no waiting for the gpu to get lower so I bought a brand new pc

[fossil mulch]

Oh…

Interesting

[jolly geode]

if you don't mind me asking @fossil mulch, what work do you do that requires that much power?

[fossil mulch]

Photo/video editing

Along with some other stuff

[jolly geode]

alright

[fossil mulch]

why u ask?

[jolly geode]

just curious
