Yeah I was gonna just use it for valorsnt and mc lol
I've still got my 8 yo laptop
4030u
7*
I plan on saving this one too
Yeah its nice to have smthn to use when you can't use your pc
Yeah it does the job, pretty nice to have when u have to move around a lot
Also i am attached to it for the sentimental value too
Fair
The laptop I have was my first ever piece of technology
My grandma got it for herself but it was too complicated for her so she gave it to me for hannukah
Played the hell outta minecraft with it
My auto correct is so awful
Thats nice, interesting, cuz mine was also a gift from my grandparents 😄
Lmao
Gotta value that stuff 😄
Surprised it even works still
Still got the original hdd in it, been debating replacing it with an ssd
Why not just remove the optical drive and get an ssd next to the hdd
Thats what i did a year ago
U could open it and check, i had a sata slot so it was pretty simple
smth like these
Thats exactly what i got
I have one myself
Pretty sure the screws are glued in actually
I'll have yo check when I get home
The last 2 times I opened a laptop I broke them (they were scrap so I wasn't exactly trying to be gentle)
That makes it harder, but u can always just try and check, if u are using it still its pretty worth getting the ssd
Probooks never had glued screws
Oh cool
One time I almost picked a probook up ngl, it was a 4441s
14 inches
But I'm glad I didn't despite how cheap it was
It had i5 3230M and like HD 7650M
How much?
Like 130 bucks or so
Ah
Yeah even then I wouldn't go for it
Took some talking but it went well
Whatd you end up with?
4710hq and 850m
Nb
it's meh but certainly a huge step up from i3 2310m i had that died
no dgpu, just igpu
Yeah lol
There was this weird *** person I found last night (like, creepy wanting discord kitten vibes) who said he makes 70cents/15min mining ergo with a 3070
But I didn't know it would have so bad thermals, ah well
Different server
could just be lucky with blocks yaknow
Else heat would rise so much
I also have to have cpu at base clock all day
2.5ghz
I legit considered 2.0 but I figured it'd suffer hard in games
Foxy you ever tried mining ergo?
just don't use such short time periods in general
mining is eh
very variable
I tried it for a bit last night and I got 10cents the first 14min but then it dropped off
Ima stick with my gminer mining eth
15*
probably block luck
Probably
for example my eth payouts from the past 24hrs in 15minute blocks
some are better than others
But like, the first thing he dmed me was a guy kissing a sleeping girl
but atm
Lol we use the same miner
eth is the best to mine no matter what
I could tell you 0.13$ every 15 minutes
as long as you have 6gb+ vram
I use gminer cli+
but I don't
do you guys think mining will thrive once eth goes pos?
many other things to mine
Pos?
proof of stake
proof of stake
effectively no mining
Ah
but yea stuff like ergo and rvn will prob just take over
you stake 32 eth i think
transition over
I make about 4.5$/day rn
or new coin
both might even be close lmao
who knows
I was gonna use nicehash but it locked me out
rip
well just mine eth straight atm
I get lower hashrate with nicehash
there's time
what is a good music bot
jan is when eth drops mining
58mh/s instead of 60.5 or higher
idk any lol
Groovy or hydra
and this isn't server for bots
iirc december is when difficulty bomb goes boom
check if fredboat is still up
grovy be gone too afaik
fredboat seems to be fine
https://fredboat.com/
What caused it again?
Ah
getting shutdown
Rhythm already got shut down
disassembled an ftw3 3090 due to game crashes nonstop and mem temps of 100c. didnt change anything with the paste or pads but some were melted. put heatsink back on now theres no display
card rgb and fans are intact and functioning. only the display output is a problem. pc doesnt reset as well, just runs indefinitely with gpu plugged in
strix is a high end model but its also extremely expensive
Just trying to overpay without overpaying. Rofl.
No max like 1800 assuming you're talking USD?
I have a 5950x already so I'm looking at picking em up.
I dont even see msrp for 1800!
Bb shows 2k.
Idk msrp for strix model but msrp of regular 3080 ti is 1.2k
Not worth more than 1800 absolute max
Isn't the strix going to clock higher under water
Because it's not powering 12gb vram?
I guess that's like
0.00001%
Thanks squad
Ehh what? No
Not more than other cards anyway
Not worth paying over 2k for anyway
You should add in the subtext that says "Only 1/1,000 people may "win" the rights to "buy" this card at retail"
Gpus in stock or still out of stock and high priced
It doesn't really matter the PL imo, an 80Ti is not work 2k
Wdym
On r/hardwareswap I see them for 2.2-2.3k daily
F
Reason: Bad word usage
Newegg has them at 1,999$
No
That's too high even for strix

Hey is it possivle to fix a corroded back plate of the gpu
There is a service offered fizing them for 30 bucks
Pcie gen 4 Mobo > pcie gen 3 riser > pcie gen 4 GPU can still cause issues right? Wanna make sure I have the right advice
Person just upgraded to a 11700k on a Z590I board and now their GPU doesn't display out. It worked with the 10700k when everything was still pcie gen 3. So I'd assume that's probably the issue, The riser cable being gen 3.
You could just not use the backplate
My back plate is naked pcb a small part of it got corroded
Yes but you just needa set to gen 3 in bios either with igpu or plug gpu in without riser first
Imagine upgrading from 10700k to 11700k 
So you don't have a backplate then.... First thing I'd try is unplugging gpu, mb try using a tiny bit of isopropyl or rubbing alcohol and leaving to dry for a while otherwise hope your manufacturer(asus msi evga etc) will take it in for repair/rma
Unfortuanltey the store I bought the gpu didnt want to accept it said that it will void the warranty and Im trying to contact the manufacturer (inno3d) if they would consider rma
Yeah the store won't do anything about it, your prob is nothing to do with them even if not rma goes through they might repair for fee
I found someone doing repairs for it for 30 bucks might as well give it a shot
That sounds sketch
Hmm okay ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Corrosion isn't easy to fix at all
is it just me or has there not been a shuffle for a bit
It happens everyday at 10 AM PDT Mon through Friday and take place on some random Saturday mornings depending on what they have in stock
I usually receive mobile notifications
Well then their notifs are probably broken
that must explain it, then
i don't check if I'm not notified, how am I supposed to know ¯_(ツ)_/¯
fair
Reason: Bad word usage
Yeah but I guess the guy knows what hes doing
Might be a good idea to start checking, mb there's ppl like you who aren't entering all the time, might have slightly higher chances too
yep already on it 👍
it's weird because I'm getting notifications for sales and other things I haven't asked for lol
Weird

@heady turtle this with a 3060 ti would be good or is there a better combo i could suggest to my friend?
What's their total budget?
Their max including Monitor, Keyboard, and mouse was 1400. So i left room for those depending on the price of the 3060/3060ti. Assuming they manage to catch a best buy restock
Any way to make my 3080Ti Strix sound less like an airplane taking off while ingame?
Wear headphones? 🎧

Adjust the fan curve in afterburner /potentially get a better airflow case
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Z33FQD this should do, that leaves about 100$ budget for mouse n keep

Anygood ones out there for 270 or less
970
my graphics card just died. was a evga geforce gtx 950 and wondering if an rx 560 would be a fair/good replacement
A 900 series dying? Impossible
Those things are indestructible, I’ve heard they run forever
hahaha jokes aside. would the 560 work?
id aim for something a bit better if you can but yeah, what price would the 560 be tho?
i have a friend selling me his for $200 that he used as a test gpu
Way to much for a 560
I’d pay that for a 590 maybe
$200 is 470 or 290 pricing
most of the RX560 i find online are about $200
But perhaps those are scalper prices
well what would be the average cost for one of those? msi radeon RX 560
I'd say 160-170 should be about right imo but i haven't kept up with the market 100%
I polagize
I’ve got a theory to run by you guys. I really only need a 3060 to run the games I want to play, but the only cards I’m able to get in my cart are 3080ti’s or more expensive bundles
Would it be a good idea to try mining on a better card to make up the difference on the higher price?
I’ve never done it before so I have no idea what the profit margins are after the expenses
what you mean? Are you been fortune to get 3080ti on shuffle and such?
That and bundles that pop in and out of stock every now and then
With lhr cards you can mine raven with nicehash pool to bypass the hashrate limiter
Do you know about the hashrate limiters?
Ok
So lhr is low hashrate
Any card that is made after ~may is lhr
However
The hashrate limiter only targets eth, bitcoin, and eth mining pool
So if you mine ravencoin with a different pool (nicehash) you'll get decent earnings
Not as much as a full hashrate version of that card would mining eth, but close enough
It was bc miners are going after 30series a lot to mine eth
But agreed to a certain extent
Are there brands that are better at maintaining temps for this or all about the same
Oh ok thanks, I just don’t want to ruin my card before I get to enjoy it
I've mined on my gpu quite a bit
The longest was probably like 3 weeks straight
I make up to 120$ a month not counting energy costs
130*
That’s a pretty big factor to not include lol
Not really
Probably net 100$ a month minimum
Just make sure you change the oc settings properly
For raven mining I'm not too sure how to oc properly
Since I mine eth
Is over clocking needed for mining? I’ve never done it before either
Oh I didn’t know that
Yeah
Power limit is also important, as is good case airflow
I keep my gpu fans on 90%, but thats bc mine are relatively quiet
For most people 80% is better
So I should also not just stick to the stock case fans
Depends on what stock fans and case
For eth mining I keep my core around 50 or lower, but rvn mining as i said is different
Core will be higher since it's being used
It’s a fractal design
I'm not a case or airflow guy
Pato is but he might be asleep
Idk what time it is in Ireland
There's a lot of others too
Mr111, toppercent, alec
How many fans do you have?
And what are they set to (intake and outtake)
Probably gonna want more fans, even if you're not mining
I tried 2 stock fans in my pc
Didn't go so well
When I added 2 artic p12 pwm Temps dropped 10+ degrees on both gpu and cpu
Hope I can get a fan bundle again then
Check the artic p12 pwm 5 pack on amazon
Most of them are Ram or moniters
I think they were having a sale on them
Yeah thats what pwm is
I believe it adjusts automatically but don't quote me on that
Dw lmao I was there 5 months ago
I got reccomended the same fans and asked the same question lmao
Thanks for all the help btw, ive been getting a little desperate to find a card so all this is giving me better options
Happy to
Is it at all safe to purchase a graphics card off of Ebay?
I don't use paypal 
Oof
I’ve seen a lot of cards underpriced being sold by new accounts
Yeah that’s what I figured
They’d probably send an empty box lol
Ooh , like the wish site scammers basically
lol oof
anime cafe card
I was recently graced by the physical presence of a GeForce 310, a useful reminder of where we came from
Everyone knows the universe revolves around a Titan
Interesting collab, Nvidia and Attack on Titan
LMAO AOT
man, i wanted a RTX 3090 because of its huge vram but couldnt find it at msrp :( its price is inflated 3x the msrp
Ebay roulette
i have tried on newegg but the msrp ones are always out of stock, same case with amazon
idk man i dont trust ebay
yo, how do i download a bot to buy a graphics card?
Out of curiosity why do you need the huge vram?
bruh everyone needs a lot of vram😏
trust me I;m a professional
alot of tasks may require huge vram, i am sorry but google it yourself
Do you take me for an idiot? What do YOU need it for because sometimes not everyone needs a lot of VRAM
Reason: Bad word usage
I’ve seen so many people in here saying “oh I need huge amounts of VRAM for just gaming”
Im assuming you mean machine learning?
Id say it depends on just how big of a model you’re training
Levi better
I think you could get away with the 12gb of the 3080ti or 11gb of the 3080
idk i dont wanna spend on quadro
Yea don't if you don't have the applications
How big models are we speaking here?
Baka
@real tapir I looked into it a bit and I think you should also try looking into the 3080/3080ti to expand your options
Aight we should stop
whispers Fight fight fight
My PC is just a good heater
My pc runs so cool but it turns my room into a sauna
Lol
I measured the temp in my room after having it running for a day or so and it was hitting 112F
When’s the A6000 coming
So that I would have to travel to my hometown for the trade in person likely around Thanksgiving
And you’ll send it to me for “benching” riiiiight? 😉
A6000 won't be operating til I get Alder Lake
Sure sure sure...
Ok pretty sure dual 3090s will have better thermals
Im custom looping them anyway
Wth
I gotta see that
I have friends with NVlinked 3090s, none of which have a custom waterloop yet
I’ll send pictures once I finish planning and building the rig
Gotta need a beefy res
These are 4 3090s
Nvm my bad, it ain’t
3090,3080 2080ti, and a Titan RTX all in one for deep learning
Should look something like this
My personal PC will have a 3080FE/3070FE and that's it. My secondary PC will be A6000/12900k and be utalized and shared amongst my MecE club
I honestly expected more pictures on Google of it but there are barely any
It's definitely going to be insane for waterloops double 3090s
Gotta get a good case to fit more
Don’t forget the threadripper
For now I’m going to get a 3960x as a place holder, then a 5990x once it comes out
my 12gb Titan Z is dying and i wanted a sort of vram upgrade too
I’ll see if i see a difference in rendering over the 5900x I had in my old workstation
Makes sense
Yeah 3090 would fit in that case
^
Good news ~ 3090s aren't as scalped as 3080s
Bad news ~ you have to wait but it's worth it
I love seeing people consider 3090s for cases that aren’t gaming
the coil whine of my titan z is killing me
I doubt the 3090 super will actually be a thing
12gb 2060 lmaooo
Like who on earth thought that was a good idea
do you guyz know any solutions to reduce coil whine except undervolting the gpu ??
I only know the undervolting method
You could most likely adjust the fan curve
should i wait another year for RTX 4090 ?
if my card suddenly dies in between i think i could borry a temprory card from my friend
If you have the money and time ig
I'm expecting a decent price increase for next gen
i have the money if its MSRP and i dont like feeding scalpers
what are some trusted sites to buy gpus ? (execpt newegg and amazon)
best buy
buy rtx 3090 for 200 bucks
If you're comfortable with a similar price tag and availability
inb4 &2000

newegg shuffle i think
Reason: Bad word usage
Just a bundle on Newegg. They pop up off the shuffle every once in a while. 3090's and 3080 ti's
https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4350144
Like one of these, but mine wasn't a waterblock and it came with a Z590 i gave to a friend.
If that was a z490/z590 board that bundle wouldn't actually be too bad

6600xt is equivalent to which card from nvidia
3060
so the price of 6600xt is lower that 3060 is it worth getting it?
4K less in my currency
What's both priced in usd?
$902 for 3060
855 for 6600xt
Neither price is good
^
ik but it's the least cost i can find
What country you in?
India
@magic wing your expertise are required
@magic wing hi again
Good thing we dont live there
the retailers are creating false shortages to make price hikes
true, all the things that use silicon got effected and i heard some car companies got closed in India for that reason
Bruh you can get a 6700xt for 855
not in India
lets say i bought a 3070ti for over msrp, how bad would that be?
some emotes dont work sometimes welcome to discord

Good job num nuts

guys me sad
you know last week i went to go to my local memory express and getting a 3060 but the last one got sold in my face cry
Rip.

2080TI - Gigabyte gaming OC version-
Since an update a few months ago it seems to run really hot
anyone else dealing with this?
It usually sits at 70-73C even on Ultra- but even on games like For the King it is pushing 80-83
Am using Afterburner as a guide,- Temp Monitor it is not OC or curved by me at all
I used Nvidia settings and made sure it was default on everything
I have plenty of airflow- Fans are spinning and have 2 intake fans even bringing in fresh air directly onto the unit..
Anyone else seeing this or hear about the same issue? Setting that got changed?
Does anybody know what 3070 RTX is not low hash rate and what to order on new egg some of these are deceiving and don’t say LHR
What does your fan curve look like, also is their a bit of dust build up on the card
If they don't say lhr they aren't lhr but basically every 3070 you buy now new bar the FE is lhr
Definitely not dusty- I clean it around every 2 weeks. The fan curve is set as standard. I have even turned it to manual and made them 100% and it still pushed 80c
Papa Johns nasty.
I noticed it about 3-4 updates ago- it was only on warzone for a bit, but now its everything
How they make their pizza: they dumpsterdive at other pizza place’s dumpsters for their cardboard boxes. They then put tomato sauce and fake cheese on it and call it a papa johns pizza.
Good thing this is not a food site then huh?
Indeed.
Tempted to take the card apart and check the Paste
Could be the pads and paste maybe
Just saw your last message 2 minutes ago lol
i suppose the paste could be drying out yeah, you could always undervolt if you wanted to as well
I did play with undervolt as well. It dropped it by 1.. It just seems like even my stable non running temp went up by 5+ used to sit around 30 now its 35ish.. I know the house is a little warmer being summer time and all, so that accounts for a few- but from 70 - 82 is too much. Just wasnt sure if anyone else was having the same issue. Paste it is...
hmm yeah, uv should help a bit more than 1c tho, weird
Yeah- my fear was the paste... don't want to pull it apart, but guess I will. just seemed odd it came after an update. wasnt sure if they changed a setting. Granted I am running 2 4K 120hz monitors. I expect it to be a little warm, but 10-12 seems excessive.
Ehh your thermal pads probably crapped out
Not an uncommon thing with gigabyte GPUs
@rough harness
ayo got ya homes
It's a GPU, nothing special in general. Average in most ways. Memory might get hot when mining.
Overpriced but available
True yeah, they're scalping their own GPUs on the website
Also $750 over MSRP
Ye
And that's the inflated MSRP
Mine was like 1450$ lol.
You just have to take what you can find in your budget right now tbh
Like I can spend 900 on it but I’m worried about is zotac the Walmart brand of gpu
Like I said, it's a GPU. Nothing special but nothing especially bad.
Now if it was a lesser brand like Palit...
Also, zotac does do queue and their decently fast. Their GPU there if you get the standard version are FE price or few hundredth more. The Halo are the top of the line @verbal crown
I did the queau on Friday and yesterday, you may have to be fast to get the cheaper GPU those sold out quick.
no idea. Just got in queue for fun and see
shuffle has some reduced pricing, that how I got mine
Well when they have 3080s listed at $1600 what else do you call it?
Would you prefer they get the profit or middleman kid who flips it on ebay?
Nvidia/vendors should take the profit imo
I'd prefer they go unsold so they don't list them so high
But fat chance of that right now
what do u guys think of the new shuffle look, i like it
It comes off as "I don't like that the folks making this card are selling it for what it's worth"
Currently* worth
@sterile parcel
tfw doesnt understand what scalping keans

Bout a 1 in a million chance
I think its 1/100,000

just keep entering everyday. I've won 4 times since June
4 times???
scalping is artificial increase in scarcity, except its not artifical snd thers also a huge increase in demand
How tf
scalping = artificial increase in scarcity (i.e. buying all the tickets to a sports game or music show)
the scarcity does not change with higher msrp
this is simply low supply and high demand = high price
capitalism
@rustic pulsar Eyo so um if you win another hmu
Nah ill take it for myself, but u can buy my old one off ebay :p
@rustic pulsar Unless it's msrp hard pass
in the current market im not selling for less than I bought it for
sold 3060 for 580, bought for 460
I will always start my bids at or below what I bought it for though
I think talking about selling GPUs in general is ok
more for their products than their actual worth at MSRP because people are willing to pay higher prices
This is faulty logic
worth = what people are willing to pay
wat
I'm just saying that's the faulty bit, you do you with the discussion
I went to Microcenter today and got a 6700xt
I agree with you rommy 🤷♂️ ZOTAC and PNY are charging the same price that scalpers do. Which not only reenforces the scalpers pricing but also prevents those who would potentially be able to get one for the MSRP not try to get one from them.
Regardless of their "assumed worth" due to the shortage
i got mine open box for $760 PowerColor Red Devil 6700 XT
Most other AIB's for RTX 30 series restock for a viable price which can end up in the hands of people using them for gaming or mining. Who wouldn't want to spend 2000$ on a card that should be 1000$ to 1400$
Like it doesn't help anyone other than ZOTAC and wealthy people when they overcharge in that sense.
Sure they stay in stock longer, but so do AMD cards. Because they aren't selling for what it's really worth.
Vote with your wallets is all you can do
Yeah it was a return. I think it was returned for being too massive for their case
Nice nice
All they did was scan the little yellow tag on the thing and it did it like a coupon
i posted what it looks like in build pics
it clears my noctua fans by like a few mm
Things are worth what people are willing to pay, it's as simple as that.
Which 3080 ti did you get
Thinking otherwise is some kind of delusion
mmm
Is a 3080 worth 1600 to me personally? No
rommy hey
Some people are willing to pay over MSRP and I'm not so I waited and drove a few states over and got a card physically
did u reach a 21k score yet?
I should run 3dmark on my pc's
Time spy?
If Rommy scores higher than my workstation imma riot
CPU/ram tuning make a huge difference with time spy, could be a few thousand points
u have 3200mhz ram?@sterile parcel
Oh is 4000mhz cl18 better than 3600mhz cl16?
cpu?@sterile parcel
Depends on lots of other things, do you mean xmp spec of the sticks? Or set timings , even then, many other timings are a factor
Ah
What are your overclocks looking like? @sterile parcel
Nice score
nice
i need to find my old score with the 590
What's that?
RX 590 8gb
how? power delivery not smooth?
another benchmark
I know
idk thats just what it got and apparently its about average to above average
also my ram clocks were wrong on the old score @magic wing
ah so the house
Rommy your score is super good.
Ok yeah - that shouldn't be popping a breaker - maybe that breaker needs replacing, $15 at the hardware store
It's possible your microwave is faulty and is drawing too much current - but doesn't sound likely. Could test with a kill-a-watt
Eh - you don't want to do it that way
You could measure current, but I don't recommend that
Unless you also have a current clamp
http://www.3dmark.com/spy/20590057
Mine on an rx570 4gb and a 3600x
Breaker fuses wear out after a few tips - could've happened from a previous tenant
Hello
Still hospital bato
Don't rule out the possibility of the breaking being mislabeled - been there
If you're in the US tell them you're calling an electrician and you'll be deducting the cost from rent
She lives on the school campus and they said they charge her for tampering iirc
If that doesn't get them off their butts you can legally deduct critical repairs from rent
Some states will actually let you do that to fix legitimate problems, some won't, hopefully it doesn't come to that. Though - I think simply calling a real electrician for a phone consult and informing your landlord you've done so might motivate them to get on fixing this
Yeah typically the mere threat of getting someone to fix it is enough, since it'll cost them more to not do it themselves
Tell them you smell something burning coming from the outlet, ez
Tell them about that, fire bad
It's certainly more expensive for them if the whole building burns down
Had this happen in one of my college apts
that does not seem safe
I did that with a paperclip when I was 4
The outlet plate is still black to this day

Damn
No it's not
My score is above average for the specs thankfully but 🤷♂️
My 3090 got 20318
For graphics score
Ye
When I'm done setting games to install I'll see if my workstation still has the score available
Wut
was asked to run it
CPU test?
gpu
Oh duh
now trying cold war on all ultra and high with render res on 150% lol
I literally just saw the CPU listed and I was so confused

The CPU is killing your score
eh, you could gain 2k+ cpu points with oc core/ram
Lol if I ran one of those it'd be like 1/4 of what you guys are getting
13k cpu score is like tuned 9900k territory lol
Also for 6700 xt superposotion scores https://hwbot.org/benchmark/unigine_superposition_-_1080p_xtreme/rankings?hardwareTypeId=videocard_3361&cores=1#start=0#interval=20
ignore brillo's sub - wrong card
Tbf, 5950x has 3.4ghz base speed
Base speed hasn't been relevant in a long time
True true
It'll be boosting well over 4g throughout the bench
Don't tuned 9900k get close(ish) to 5.0ghz?
Almost all can do at least 5.0 all core for gaming, yes
Yeee
I mainly meant mem tuning for time spy cpu score - core is easy, just setting two numbers lol
Will also benefit greatly from dual vs single rank, but you can still do well with single
Oh my cpu was above 4.5 the entire time during the test.
Most 9700k can do 5.0 all core
0 avx offset
What cooling?
You run 4.7 manual?
ah
That's higher than my GPU score 🥲
I'm not bitter
On your 2x8pin 3090?
Yes. 3090 gimp edition.
Oof
3080 ti and 3090 should have close scores though tbf right? Aren't they the same chip
Not totally, no. The 3080 ti is different in subtle ways like less cores and it has a mining lock built in, the 3090 doesn't.
Ah
true
but for the average gamer theyre basically the same on frames. no one is going to care for a 10 fps or less difference
If it was 10 fps I would care but it's really closer to 3 lol
Sadge
Lmao. Amazon (not a 3rd party seller) has a used 3070 ti for 1422$ 🤣
🤮
Reason: Bad word usage
Ewww
it's not sad during these times ngl
You've prolly seen my story
least the si has access to cheap parts
that's decent actually
Ended up spending 1800$ total replacing everything but gpu, cpu, and 1tb pny cs900
600$on top of the 1200
So yeah for anyone thinking of buying a pre build, avoid skytech
Their build quality is worse than a toddlers
The sadder thing is the night before I bought it I almost bought a different build with basically the same specs for 1350$
Cyberpower I think
3600x instead of 3600 but otherwise the same
But I decided to wait for morning
good
Literally impossible to be worse than what this was
Wait not cyberpower
Ibuypower maybe?
I probably have the link somewhere
This was in late december
I don't feel like scrolling through dms to find it lol
Ill be honest, just the name has me looking like Fry from Futurama
kek
I assume this is what you got?
H510 rejected brother?
Nah
Skytech shadow 3.0
I can grab that link easily if you want
Funnily enough it was off amazon
Had a psu smaller than what they said
And not even the same rating
B450mh (biostar) mobo
Ram broke after 4 months
Case made only to fit that mobo, no others
Fans with a pin ti only fit that mobo
what the shi...
Yep
Worst pc possible
Only good part of it was a decent aib
Not a ventus 2x or anything
Gigabyte gaming oc pro
Oh also
A heatsink even worse than a wraith prism
Hit 85c on a 3600
wow. just...
Yep
And their customer service is awful
I called like 9 times and I'm convinced they only have 2people
No they are pretty good at that price point
As long as you don't need customer service for anything of course
Abs is the best though on Newegg unless you can get an iBuyPower or Cyberpower sale. Like Memorial day, labor day, cyber Monday etc
It's a learning experience. Next time you know 🤷♂️
Yeah
Idk what ima do when I upgrade tho
I didn't build my pc, a local shop did for me
My brother's first PC was also a skytech
An FX 6300 and 1050 ti for 700$~ in 2017 or 2016. Can't remember which year
So...bad
Out of 3 people I know who've had one 1 was average the other 2 were nearly as bad as mine
Oh yeah my friend had the same one but same price in 2019
Well
Similar
Fx core but higher number, forget which ine
The case broke
Power button didn't work
He had to use the psu to turn the pc on
Skytech archangel is the name
Blue and white case right?
His second PC, was from cyberpower PC in 2019. Cause his budget was much better. He got a 3700x and a 1660 super for like 1049$. Has a decent AIO on it(first Party)
Ye
Yep same build
I could prolly find a link,but I'm pretty sure it's 800$ now
The build i got is now 2k but with a 3060 (alteast the same amszon listing lol)
I asked him if he wanted me to build it but he said no, so he bought the prebuilt. I did give him my 2060 for his 1660 super however which we put in the PC i built my youngest brother.
Nice
I realized a butterfly effect a couple days ago from buying my pc
I never would've stopped talking to a toxic friend, and I never would've met my significant other
I mean technically speaking. I went from a 560 ti, to a 1050 4gb mobile, to a RTX 2060. Big jumps xD
Oh nice
Bad internet, slow messages rn
Yeah lol
I went from intel hd 4400 to a 1030 to a 3060 ti
I wanna use the 560 ti and see what it can run
I saw a 460 for 20$ like 2 months agk
Lowkey wanted it just bc of how old it is and it still works
Maybe could've gotten the best 460 score on time spy
🤣
Would the gaming x trio 3090 be good for a kingpin bios? It has the same number of hdmi and displayport and has the same amount of power connectors. But i heard some bad reviews about it
kingpin bios on an aircooled card? sounds like a bad idea lol
isn't that basically meant to be used with ln2?
It has a waterblock
oh interesting, that's a misleading name
nope, its not a misleading name. you waterblocking it yourself?
personally i wouldn't buy anything other than evga or asus, asus for their superior product quality and evga due to their superior customer support. but that's just me. no personal experience with msi cards tho, but i'd imagine as long as you can keep the temps under control it'd be ok?
yeah i would agree, except we're talking about a 3090
KP has a 360mm aio stock
recent reports from people with gpu problems seem to contradict that tbh
CS in general seem to suck recently
Didn't evga have like hundreds if not thousands of gpus die from a single game? Lol
Tho tbf that wasn't evgas fault iirc
it wasn't just evga
not just evga
and it was, apparently, an early batch of 3090/3080ti's
EVGA said it was bad soldering
Ah
who knows what it was for the rest
anyways, why do you want kp vbios?
anyway, yeah personally i've had nothing but good experiences with evgas customer support. also, they charged me $60 for a 10 year warranty on my 3080ti lol
Heavy overclocking
Yeah
yeah why not just throw a 3090 hydrocopper vbios on there? i think that's 450w max
I want a 550w bios
That's about as much as my entire system pulls :p
Prolly more lowkey
I have a 1200w psu lyin around and i need to put it to good ise
Fair enough
I ran my system on a 500w for a while bc skytech is word I cant say
White rated too
Supposed to be a 600w gold
anyways fun bit of msi is msi warranty allows you to change cooler
and they allow oc iirc
the only part that sucks about that is when you wanna rma something and have to reassemble it with the stock cooler 😅
yea but makes sense
ye
also side note
stock vbios on kp might actually be 480w
lemme see which one is 1kw
Pretty sure that 1kw disables all thermal protection - don't screw up your mount
ya

interestingly, lower boost clocks in the vbios, but the point is to oc it sooo
Would there be an xoc 3090 super card released?
I heard it was confirmed and would arrive q4 this year or q1 next year
don't think 3090 super in general is confirmed yet
There will always be faster/newer coming out - but it's unlikely that whatever 3090 ti/super will be much faster than a regular 3090.
There's space on the die for a few more SMs and that's about it. Maybe some faster gddr6x from micron? hopefully they cool it more effectively
memory bus can't get any wider
hbm2e 3090 when
From what tpu hypothesizes, handful more SUs and TMUs, slightly faster vram (3090 top supposed 3090 super bottom)
It's just one more GPC, yeah
dunno terminology, but yea, one more core complex basically
And it'll be 500$ more 👻 spooky
Can a 20 degree gap between 80 degree to 60 degree for GPU temp can increase its life ?? I mean 90+ degrees are bad for gpu but going from 80 to all the way upto 60 can STILL increase its life ?? i am asking this because I want to choose between an extreme water cooled gpu and a simple fan cooled gpu .....
You could just UV the normal card and have the same results..?
Not many decent gpus will get to 80 if you have proper cooling, even my gigabyte card doesn't go over 70-75
And yea it's probably not going to hit 80c anyways
but for heavy workload, can it ??
What are your pc specs
i have seen FE GPUs have worse cooling
Titan Z 12gb for now but thinking to buy a new GPU but those prices aahhhhhh !!
middle aged xeon not too old not too new
i didnt get a response :''(
xeon model - BX80660E52683V4 16 core
My 3090 at 99% usage during timespy only hit around 72°C
with a 500W vbios i bet it will be 5-10% faster
500w was the leaked wattage
iirc
the extra gpc is meaningless
But if you can use a 3090 now - it's not like you should wait

yeah ofc
just flash a higher wattage bios
and its literally the same
okay maybe not literally
basically
It's worth $5
What's it comboed with
how big of a difference is there between a 3080 and 6700xt ?
you getting it?
Huge
6700xt is about 3060 ti/3070 tier
