[oak sentinel]

that isnt a thing sadly

only 13"

[light bay]

oh

rip

[stoic crest]

we really need big companies to invest in startups that are doing well despite their small size and expensive price tag on their product

cause it screams opportunity tbh

[light bay]

someone needs to make a good ridgewallet competitor imo

and severly undercut prices while having the same quality and warranty

[stoic crest]

That'd be amazing

[jolly inlet]

It's not hard to make an aluminum wallet

[light bay]

exactly

but like forged ember and all that

[light bay]

@jolly inlet yo my man

Did you get antonline order shipped out and game pass code received?

Just got mine

[jolly inlet]

Yeah

[light bay]

Nice

Hot deal

[jolly inlet]

Definitely. It's looking like it'll get here pretty quick too.

[light bay]

Mine gets here on the 8th according to UPS

damn, probs cause you live like right next to it

since their warehouse is in georgia

at least for me

[eager junco]

got mine today and in IL. got the pass code a day or two ago

[light bay]

nice

i needed a new backpack for lappy anyways so its like a free keeb and game pass imo

[light holly]

Is it a good quality backpack?

[eager junco]

seems worth at least $20 on its own. def seems more meant as a laptop backpack, not too much room

[light holly]

Ah alright. So not to big a loss that I waited to long.

The backpack was the only thing I was really looking at.

[light holly]

I am not happy that the WHITE 5000D airflow is on sale while I'm trying to save money for something else..

[keen marsh]

Gaming OC > Vision iirc. Unless you want the vision for looks

[wide onyx]

I've had a HuMn wallet for several years. got it from kickstarter originally

[grand orbit]

They're the same

[azure pond]

Evga has an $1800 2080 ti lmfao

[light holly]

I can't wait for that WHITE 5000D airflow to show up on the 6th 😛

[grand orbit]

Kek

[high radish]

Yes

I paid 2.4K for white strix 3090 last year

[azure pond]

because its a white strix

[high radish]

https://tenor.com/view/cocaine-strix-gang-strix-3090-rtx-white-gif-22429477

[prisma cosmos]

The hard drive that i linked i am using that one right now as one of my secondary drives for files and games that doesn't have crazy loading times which for games like Final Fantasy VII Remake loads pretty snappy

[light bay]

Hahaha do they ship the keen and stuff in the backpack?

Keeb

Oh, missed opportunity

Ye

What do you think of the bag?

Great to hear

Mine still says arrives Wednesday

Hit Nashville this morning

Can you confirm it'll fit 17.3" lappy?

Or anything close to it?

Neato

If it fits my Chromebook then I'm good lol

[jolly inlet]

Mine is due Tuesday, looking forward to it

[wide onyx]

So I went to microcenter for that 5600x deal. Was able to get that for $139 because the mobo was price matched to $104. So it was better than the $20 saving for combo deal by about $10

not a great mobo but just something for now without going crazy till next gen

[jolly inlet]

5600X doesn't need top of the line anything anyway

[wide onyx]

Exactly

[normal tiger]

Anyone know what the best recommended thermal paste are for cpu? I'm not familiar with what's good and what could ruin the cpu

[brittle lagoon]

Just grab something simple like mx5 or nt h2

[normal tiger]

alright ty

[jolly inlet]

The only thing that'll really ruin the CPU is liquid metal like conductonaut

[normal tiger]

In the build pics, some ppl use strip lights on the back of their monitors, do they leave an adhesive residue after using them for a while?

[vague pine]

depends on how good that adhesive is but if you remove it, more than likely there'll be a little bit of adhesive but shouldnt be anything crazy

or hard to remove

[normal tiger]

Ahh gotcha, that makes sense, was thinking about adding some strip lights but was worried about the residue, thanks

[fleet marlin]

Goo-gone is 1 thing that could remove it pretty well anyways, plus it's on the back on the monitor.

[light bay]

@polar field screw ID cooling

[fleet marlin]

Thermalright ftw. sub-$40 for a nice dual tower

[light bay]

@steel sapphire how fresh is the paste you've gotten with 224xt?

[steel sapphire]

very good actually

i wasn't scientific about it, didn't bench it vs. mx-4 for anything

but they gave a large tube and the i5-10400 with unlocked power limit and no undervolt was doing 40C in cinebench r23 and 18C idle with room temp of 17C

4.0ghz all 6 cores

that's as much as i can tell you

[light bay]

Huh

The stuff I just got with my 224xt was fairly dry and there was barely enough for one application on a 12400f

[steel sapphire]

it was a while ago so many they changed it to cut costs

or maybe just a one off

[light bay]

Yeah

Probs

I mean it has be somewhat new

Cause it had the lga1700 kit

Soooo

[steel sapphire]

10th gen was the newest gen when i used it

[light bay]

PC done tho, works great

Yea

Cxf great psu

Altho 24 pin a bit short

[steel sapphire]

you sure it's dry or just viscous

[fleet marlin]

I like my 8g tube of MX-2 for $7 or $9 though

[light bay]

Dryish

Wasn't at the point of flaking but kinda crappy

[steel sapphire]

interesting

[light bay]

But the lga1700 kit was great and easy to install

[steel sapphire]

wish companies would increase prices instead of reducing quality to keep same price

[light bay]

Coldplate actually wasn't that small either

Coldplate barely didn't make it to the edges of ihs which is fine since it don't no weird amd chiplets

[grand orbit]

I got mine in march 2021 and same thing as sips, huge tube like 4g/5g maybe still fresh about a year later when I used it to repaste my dads fx 6300

[azure pond]

Mine was fine with my 224xt as well

[light bay]

Huh

[normal tiger]

Is it worth getting the MSI mag mortar b660m mobo or just the MSI PRO B660M-A DDR4?

[azure pond]

main diff is included wifi in the mobo

[normal tiger]

yeah that makes sense, there's like a $20 difference, wifi is convenient but not sure if super necessary tbh

[uneven mango]

But the wi-fi is always a nice option to have, unless you must not have wi-fi for security purposes.

[azure pond]

if theyre using ethernet its useless

[uneven mango]

The point is that the option is at least there.

[high radish]

Good price for that headphones

[grand orbit]

Well Bluetooth on the board is nice

[azure pond]

didnt know it had bluetooth

[grand orbit]

Most WiFi modules also have BT

[azure pond]

oh cool

[high radish]

lol why no one reacted that headphone deal

people jumped on it in another server lmao

[grand orbit]

Idk about headphones lol

[high radish]

990pro is great headphones . thing is it's open back and it's 250ohm so needs higher output device

[light bay]

@fathom nebula

https://tenor.com/view/emoji-disintergrating-meme-emoji-disintegrating-meme-gif-21239978

[grave delta]

Cheap 2x32GB MJR 3600c18 xmp $180 https://www.ebay.com/itm/374067365689

[fleet marlin]

Cheap vs a 4x16 kit? Seems like expected price since 2x16 is $90ish.

[grave delta]

You're going to pay a premium for 32GB sticks

[fleet marlin]

Makes sense. Sort of like how 4TB nvme drives are.... not cheap.

[light bay]

AliExpress has some... deals on those

[grand orbit]

I get that idk about pricing tho and neither do most people in this server so that's why lol

[thick bough]

Hahahaha saysss whoooo

I actually picked up the spectrix s40g 4tb for 360

[high radish]

4tb ssd price = 3x 2tb ssd price

[thick bough]

I mean it makes sense why

It’s more compact so that will not always work during manufacturing so it’s just the process of binning

[fleet marlin]

Note I did mean the "good" stuff. 4TB mx500 is also $360ish last I checked.

[sharp yew]

What are the best rgb addressable strips can I get for 50 USD

[slow sluice]

@azure pond 2TB on sale too, 179.10

[azure pond]

Oh nice

[azure pond]

How does the p31 compare to the s70?

[slow sluice]

S70 is a gen 4, it'll shred for sequential

[azure pond]

oh thought it was a high tier gen 3

nice

[fleet marlin]

That S70 has the built in big heatsink so people shoukd keep that in mind.

[south grove]

@azure pond 8 gb of ram tho...........

i mean its easally upgradable

not rlly a issue

[azure pond]

Indeed

16gb 3200c16 kit is $50

[azure pond]

@umbral jetty https://pcpartpicker.com/product/VpJgXL/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3080-12gb-lhr-12-gb-gaming-oc-video-card-gv-n3080gaming-oc-12gd

[marsh sphinx]

@flat junco i have the x2hr's, good headphones

used to be my daily for a while

[flat junco]

I've wanted a pair, but I have too many

[light bay]

backorded tho :/

[azure pond]

still $200 cheaper

[fleet marlin]

Still backordered

[light bay]

^

[grave delta]

maximum gaemer https://www.ebay.com/itm/284609630681

P100's down to $380 and below these days

[light bay]

@light holly

its actually incredible

my respect for EVGA

[light holly]

they have a 1300w one on sale as well, but idk if it's a good deal

[light bay]

they quoted jonny lmfao

thats hilarious

hes a really good source, but its funny they quoted him on a amazon listing

like 99% of buyers probs wont even know who he is

[light holly]

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Supernova-Modular-Warranty-220-GP-1300-X1/dp/B08DZY15CW

[light bay]

meh the 750 much better imo

[light bay]

thats a 1600 in the dec...

desc

super weird

i cant tell if its actually a 1300 or 1600

conflicting info

[high radish]

is it A tier ?

Evga namings very confusing

[high radish]

Then keeping 1200w Thermaltake toughpower

[grand orbit]

Good price anyway price of a a tier 1000w

[high radish]

Msi have some good looking cards and also have very ugly gpus

[grand orbit]

Gaming z/x
Suprim - okay
Ventus 🤮

[high radish]

Ventus

Ventus is uglier than zotac lol

[thick bough]

but at least it cools better lol

zotacs are just terrible man

[high radish]

Facts: zotac white gpus are actually not white they're yellow

[grand orbit]

Uh no

[azure pond]

Facts: white strix is overpriced and not worth the money

[grand orbit]

Zotac has pretty good coolers this gen

Ventus is bottom tier

[thick bough]

disagree

i agree ventus is bad

but zotac is also just worse imo

had 2 fans on sperate models die recently

30 series and all

[molten halo]

https://tenor.com/view/zotac-3080-gif-18549684

[grand orbit]

I high lol doubt this the chance of that happening is very small

[stoic crest]

zotac isn't so bad

it's meh but that's it

[high radish]

Overclocking Zotac = 🔥

[dim mantle]

Great for BBQ's

[stoic crest]

just do repaste and repad on em and they're better than factory

[high radish]

Zotac just have bad pcb

I mean amp holo series is good

[azure pond]

Asus Phoenix is worse

[stoic crest]

i got a single fan 1660s

[high radish]

it's alright for regular gamers but overclocking it not good idea

[stoic crest]

it's a phoenix ofc

it's fine other than the noise lmao

the fan has to ramp up to keep temps low

[azure pond]

Phoenix 1650 runs fine in my friends pc

But that's a 75w card and most demanding game they play is val

Or that one star wars game

I forget the name

[high radish]

Some friend got 3060 phoenix lol temps basically similar as evga 3060 black

But noisy as hell

[stoic crest]

ye

the only gripe with single fan higher power cards

is the noise

which is fine for me, im used to my laptop being loud

but ofc i would always want at least dual fan

unless the single fan is cheaper by a good chunk

[azure pond]

Idc about noise, I'm using discord, listening to music, and gaming while I'm using my pc

Can't hear the noise through my headphones

[high radish]

I working on PC but there's usually plotter working on so I can't even hear my PC

[azure pond]

I also have my gpu fans locked to 65-70 most of the time, since i mine unless I'm playing a demanding game like cod

[high radish]

My white strix gpu usually sitting at 0fan speed while gaming

[tiny heron]

I have a fan running in my room so it all kinda blends together anyways 😂

[stoic crest]

i sleep just fine with my rig mining all day and night

[azure pond]

Mm

[stoic crest]

the noise is like not even annoying

[high radish]

Oof

[stoic crest]

it's low pitched lol

[azure pond]

You get used to it

[stoic crest]

unlike laptop noise

[azure pond]

Don't even notice it anymore lol

[high radish]

I don't think I can sleep if my PC is on

[stoic crest]

and i only use the laptop during the day

[high radish]

Is this deal or regular price https://www.newegg.com/p/1B4-00MJ-00090?Item=9SIA4P0DNY0130&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-9SIA4P0DNY0130-_-06072022

[grand orbit]

I only care about noise when im mining tbh

[azure pond]

War pig

Why would you do this to me

[light bay]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/500102940078505984/981948631777153115/techies.gif

[high radish]

What did I do lol

[azure pond]

Make me want to buy that lf2

[high radish]

Why not lol

[azure pond]

Because I currently have a 3600 and won't know if I need it till next gen cpus come out

[high radish]

For 3600 you need stock cooler lol

Or any tower cooler

But its price is good

[light holly]

@high radish OOS on that AIO

[high radish]

[oak sentinel]

I recommend the liquid freezer ii

[high radish]

I see it's in stock lol

[grand orbit]

lmao

[grand orbit]

stock cooler if you dont turn on pbo sure but pbo is cool so spend the 20 on a tower at least

[high radish]

Stock coolers sux yeah

[unique matrix]

is this a good price https://www.newegg.com/team-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820331604?Item=N82E16820331604

[high radish]

Cl22

[high radish]

if you need extra SSD too there's good priced teamgroup bundles on amazon

[brittle lagoon]

inb4 I recommend something else

[brittle lagoon]

I'd do this instead
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N3TXFFX

[unique matrix]

is there like a specfic reason, im not much of a techy person

[brittle lagoon]

Better specs

3200c16 is better than 3200c22

[unique matrix]

ah

[brittle lagoon]

Basically, cl16 is latency, lower latency than cl22

[unique matrix]

thank you

[brittle lagoon]

You're welcome

[grand orbit]

Unless you're buying for a prebuilt that can't use xmp do the kit mr222 linked

[solemn forge]

@silent rampart you can build a whole 12600k+3080 12gb build for less than 1900. Even swapping out the 3080 for a 3080ti gets you just above 1900. Why would anyone pay 1900 to get like half the stuff

[silent rampart]

Idk

[solemn forge]

ur paying so much more just because it's corsair

[pulsar fable]

Found one of these used at a local electronics shop. $125. Is it worth getting over the current aorus x470 I have or should I just stick with what I got?

[grand orbit]

You very much can
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jgpPfv

[wide onyx]

i just bought that new for $114

nvm, i can’t read today, what i bought was the 550

[grand orbit]

You should return it tbh, not worth buying a b550/x570 board anymore

[wide onyx]

it's perfectly fine for my needs and absolutely worth it

[grand orbit]

Not that it wont work just fine it's the fact 12th gen is better value

[wide onyx]

it's really not for my setup

[grand orbit]

It is

Only reason to go amd would have been if upgrading and keeping board

[balmy dove]

ayo anybody know if there's a pcie sound card with quarter inch left and right inputs? I can't use a usb interface

[silent rampart]

Ok whatever I was just looking at my news feed and it showed up so I decided to just put it in there

[wide onyx]

for the value and budget, this amd route was far better 1000x over

[oak sentinel]

ehhhhhhhhh

[grand orbit]

unless you where buying 2nd hand ryzen 500 or something or apu nah

unless you are exadurating your just bought lol

[wide onyx]

right, because that can be the only possibility

[high radish]

I recently bought amd mobo couse bought 5950x.for 460$ from woot

I think it's good value

5950x over 500$ not worth it . 5800x3d is scam

[azure pond]

for gaming 5800x3d is worth it

if you already have an am4 mobo

[light bay]

If you only game and have money burning a hole in your pocket

but tbh, cpu bottlenecking in games isnt that common nowadays unless your play esports at low res

[high radish]

while you ca nget 5950x for 500$ even like 460$ from woot paying 450$ for 5800xt is good idea to me lol

[jolly inlet]

Only worth upgrading if for some reason you needed PCIe 4.0, which you probably don't unless you're doing heavy workstation tasks.

I'm still perfectly happy with my X470

[grand orbit]

IT HAS 0% INCREASE IN CSGO REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[tiny heron]

How reliable is Woot. I never even heard of it until the past couple months. 😅

[jolly inlet]

Yeah they've been around a while. Didn't they branch off of Overstock.com or something?

[tiny heron]

Oh I guess it's amazon owned. Just went on the site

Well idk about owned but it says "an Amazon company"

[high radish]

I bought few stuff from Woot . its amazon company and its legit site

[high radish]

most evga bstock prices looks bad to me now lol

3060ti price is alright

3060 price too

[azure pond]

ye

is nice

$210 1660s alright for budget builds

[high radish]

yeah lowend cards are alright pricd but higher cards have bad price tag

[azure pond]

yeah, b stock becoming closer to market price

[high radish]

3080 and 3090 prices are nonsense

[azure pond]

lol

[high radish]

theres new 308012gb for 850$ and evga trying to sell B stock 10gb 3080 for 900 lmao

[azure pond]

more lol

[high radish]

[azure pond]

$1350 2080 ti lol

$1430

LMAO

[high radish]

https://tenor.com/view/evga-zotac-gif-18701016

evga looks like zotac now lol

there were times zotac was decent

[jolly inlet]

Yeah just arrived about an hour ago. Got the EVGA software set up, and it'll take some getting used to the new keeb since it seems more sensitive than my old one.

The backpack should be plenty big enough for my uses too.

[fair moon]

Mine's scheduled to arrive tomorrow

[light holly]

@fair moon Did you have the glass desk?

If that was you.. the instructions in the monitor mount that we got mentioned a special mount deal for glass desks.. so you could look into that before you modify your desk and all that.

[fleet marlin]

[steady halo]

Looking for a cheap quad core replacement for this

Its a Pentium... So almost anything is better

300$ max and needs to work with monitor

Not for gameing mostly storage i think

General secondary home pc for friend

They do dj stuff

I don't know anything about mini pcs

[jolly inlet]

Check out the Intel NUCs

[steady halo]

Ok thanks

[marsh sphinx]

open-back headphones ftw

[azure pond]

Idek if they're open back lol

I won them a while ago, shure srh440s

The ear covers have started to peel, or whatever they're called, so might look for a replacement on those. Otherwise they're great, best headphones I've owned

[marsh sphinx]

nah i was just making a dumb joke

[azure pond]

Do you happen to know anything about the headphones though?

I've been curious

[marsh sphinx]

like what

[azure pond]

Just general quality

Tried looking but didn't find much in the way of unbiased reviews

wait nvm, rtings has a review

[jolly inlet]

Headphone reviews are really hard to do because so much of it is subjective

[high radish]

Yeah you can simply judge headphones for it's price actually

[jolly inlet]

More like... one person could like a heavier bass sound while another would find it too much

[high radish]

Under 50$ headphones are lowend , 50$ to 100$ is midrange and over 100$ high range

Basically like that lol

[high radish]

I mean more experience headphones focusing on more reference voice . Make it straight as possible so they're pretty similar

Not including beats and apple airpods in there cause they're just tuning that headphones for itunes and Spotify

But in general, like 150$ headphones sounds pretty similar to each other. Like DT990 pro , HD598 , k240 mk2 etc

Ofc they're not the same but they're pretty similar. You have to decide to what do you want in that position. Like open-back is amazing for mix-mastering while closed back for recording

[marsh sphinx]

yea, just find whatever headphones you like. reviews and "ratings" are very far from the be-all end-all

and avoid the elitist audiophile communities that seem to be everywhere, including those fake headphone/sound experts that seem to be all over youtube too

crinacle

[light bay]

PC38x > everything else tho ngl

[dim mantle]

This... Ihave a pair of at m50's and the dt990 pros. both are excellent and neutral sounding

[loud sandal]

@light holly what's a micro SD card and how do you use it

[grand orbit]

A smaller version of an sd card, it's a type of storage, you can add it into some phones, cameras

[loud sandal]

Oh

[cloud hornet]

Micro vs two Standards

[marsh sphinx]

lol

[azure pond]

The best thing I can say about skiptrace is that he was

[azure pond]

@grand orbit how does it compare to lf2 360?

[grand orbit]

well

possibly better on 12th gen but kinda hard to confirm

[azure pond]

Ah

So similar?

[grand orbit]

ek rgb + lian li galahad + arctic are the best

[azure pond]

Ahh

[high radish]

Strix Gang here

Using Rog strix LC360

[prisma cosmos]

@light hollyYour deal is sold out lol

[light holly]

Doesn't surprise me. That's a good deal

[prisma cosmos]

The NVMe yes the free SD card meh

[light holly]

I really only posted it for the NVMe price.

@grand orbit How much is that AIO normally?

I guess, I'm wondering if it's worth the upgrade over my LFII 360.

[grand orbit]

no

barely anything thats not cpu/gpu in your pc is straight up worth upgrading when it costs 100+

[light holly]

alright whew, you made my wallet feel a bit better

now it's a little more ok with the fact that I'm scouting out a white mobo 😄

[keen spire]

The MP33 deal is back in stock

[prisma cosmos]

which will last for a few minutes lol

[light holly]

if it's going in and out of stock I may as well just leave listing.

[keen spire]

luckily I was able to get it before it goes out of stock again

[jolly inlet]

That's a U1 class SD card so it's not too bad. Not ideal for things like android apps but it'll do for cameras and such.

[keen spire]

most of the storage on my phone is taken up by pictures so I was planning on using it for that

[jolly inlet]

That'll do. Just moving apps to the SD and stuff will make them slower.

[keen spire]

I will make sure to keep them off of the SD then, thank you for the tip

[jolly inlet]

If you wanted to put android apps on the SD card you usually want one rated A1 or A2, they have faster random access speeds.

[high radish]

idk if its worth to share it on deals but heres 1tb s70 + 16gb ram for 135$ https://www.amazon.com/XPG-3200MHz-Desktop-AGAMMIXS70-1T-C-AX4U320038G16A-DSZ1/dp/B0B27TS4N6/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3PFEU0GM6GKCK&keywords=bundle&qid=1654724853&rnid=172282&s=electronics&sprefix=bund%2Caps%2C244&sr=1-6

[grand orbit]

That's good yeah

[high radish]

s70 is good ssd . ram is regular 3200mhz cl16 . I guess its good for 135$

[jolly inlet]

That's the price it's been for the SSD alone lately yeah. Not a bad bundle.

[prisma cosmos]

They keyboard for that Redragon is pretty good even though it is a memchanical but the mouse isn't that good

Only reason why i know this is because that is the keyboard i am using now

[light holly]

At least it's free then.

[light bay]

@jolly inlet ANTONLINE BUNDLE ARRIVED!!!

[jolly inlet]

[light bay]

yeah

https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-QICK210-Graphics-RX-65XT4DBDQ/dp/B09Q98KRTG/

$180 but you only get 2 disp outputs

but still, not horrible on gen 4 system

[thick bough]

Just get a 1030 if thats what you are after

cheaper

[light bay]

meh

[thick bough]

even a 710 would do that

[jolly inlet]

It's capable of playing games a lot more than one of those

[light bay]

1030 is longgggg ways off a 6500xt lol

even on gen 3

[thick bough]

but thats not what you are after

[light bay]

gt1030 is apu territory easily now

[thick bough]

you said display ports

[light bay]

oh yeah true

[thick bough]

if you need a gpu for ports

1030

[light bay]

but that kinda limits you

since youll be running off that gpu

and not the main one

[thick bough]

1050ti

[jolly inlet]

If you need ports you can just use both dGPU and iGPU

[light bay]

ye

[thick bough]

there are better options to be fair

i just dont like the 6500xt unless its 130

There are no bad products

just bad pricing

[thick bough]

Assuming thats available.

[jolly inlet]

NZXT H1 disagrees, as does gigabyte P850GM

[thick bough]

if you paid me to take it i would

also i had the 750gm

[jolly inlet]

Literally "burn your house down" levels of danger

[thick bough]

didnt burn my house down

[high radish]

Gigabyte have hazard psus lol

[jolly inlet]

You got lucky

[thick bough]

ran in a system for about 6 months

[jolly inlet]

Or one of the fixed models

[thick bough]

then forced newegg to return it

lol

no

not a fixed model

that is for sure

got it nice and early

[jolly inlet]

Guess you didn't run it too hard then

[thick bough]

with a 3070

[high radish]

It have bad overload protection. It works alright until you overload it

[thick bough]

factual

never ran it at red line

[jolly inlet]

Yep the protections worked perfect once

[thick bough]

LOL

and this is why I have a 1300w power supply

cause i want to breath without dying

lol

[high radish]

I got 1200w for 12900k +3090

[thick bough]

Noice

[jolly inlet]

Well PSUs do tend to be most efficient around 60-70% load

[thick bough]

factual

[high radish]

I hoping it will be enough for 13900k + 4090 lol

[thick bough]

redlining will decrease lifespan

so i was like

lets not stay at 850

[high radish]

But overclocking is fun lol

[thick bough]

that sounds like a bad idea

5950 3090 seemed risky at that low a wattage

[jolly inlet]

Yeah and capacitors will age over time. Having more power available will make sure you have enough until it dies completely

[stoic crest]

that low?

1200w is enough for such setup

it's plenty lol

[high radish]

12900k disagreed lol my 12900k literally draws 300w when I OC it lol

[stoic crest]

overall load would be like..

[thick bough]

I only draw about 190 with pbo

[stoic crest]

not even 1000w

for his case

even if we talk about spikes

[high radish]

300w for cpu and + 400w for gpu

[stoic crest]

1200w is still gonna leave a good headroom

[jolly inlet]

Slap the 500W 3090 bios on and it spikes to 800W on its own

[stoic crest]

yeah, but he doesn't use that bios lel

[thick bough]

4090 supposed to have a tgp of 550 i thought

[jolly inlet]

Max overclock power yes

[thick bough]

I dont dare oc my 90ti

its too fast!

[jolly inlet]

Probably 450W default spec, AIBs doing 500W, with ~550W max overclock

[high radish]

3090ti already have slot for 2nd 16pin connector lol . So assuming 4090 will draw over 675w

[thick bough]

doubt it

they cant get away with that much

90ti maybe

[stoic crest]

imma bet it will

[thick bough]

not the 90 at least not yet

[stoic crest]

but i would expect at least 50% perf increase with that big jump

[thick bough]

I would hope so

or id die

lol

[jolly inlet]

The 4090 will have the new 12+4 connector BUT no PSUs have that connector yet, so the max you can do is a 3x 8 pin adapter, so 525W

[high radish]

I mean power draw should decrease couse they going to Smaller manufacturing but idk

[stoic crest]

nah

4090 is likely to be hungrier

the stuff that gets more efficient is the lower end skus

cause it starts to matter

[jolly inlet]

Yep, like how the 3060 ti matches/beats the 2080 super

[high radish]

My white strix 3090 already have 3x8pin lol

[jolly inlet]

Yes, and you can get the kingpin 500W bios for it

[high radish]

Umm isn't 8pin 200w ? So 3x8pin is 600w

[stoic crest]

140w 3070 laptop variant could be near 3060ti if you're doing stuff like sips does

[thick bough]

No an 8 pin is 150

[stoic crest]

that's sone efficiency right there

[thick bough]

then 75 from pcie

[jolly inlet]

Official spec is 150W on 8 pin, 3x150=450+PCIe slot's 75W

Most cables on good quality PSUs can do 200+W without melting

[high radish]

Oh thought 8pin is 200w I think I drank a lot today

[stoic crest]

lol

[high radish]

Then what was 6pin lol

[stoic crest]

125w

or 120w not quite sure

[high radish]

Hmm I should check power spike on my gpu later

[stoic crest]

oh wait

it's 75w for 6 pin

[high radish]

[jolly inlet]

Spikes are VERY hard to measure since they're so short. You'd need something that takes measurements every few nanoseconds.

[stoic crest]

6 pin+pcie is 150w

and i don't get why some 1650 gets 6 pin in some models

[jolly inlet]

Or a couple milliseconds might catch it

[stoic crest]

^

[high radish]

I seen 390w draw on my 3090 without any special bios lol

[jolly inlet]

So you can technically overclock it past the 75W

[stoic crest]

i guess

but it's just a mere 1650

[jolly inlet]

Sure it won't do much but it's something lol

[stoic crest]

fair enough

i just find it silly

[light bay]

my 5700xt is daisy chained with a 8 + 6 and pulls 300-325 fine, its kinda funny tbh

[stoic crest]

as it's 75w card by design, not much oc headroom

[high radish]

NVM when vrams fulling it draws 420W

[light holly]

hm

maybe it's diff because it's super.. but my 1650s

[stoic crest]

that's 1650s

[jolly inlet]

Yep that's what I mean about those overbuilt cables doing 200W+ on a single 8 pin with no risk

[light bay]

yup

the connector on half decent units is the weak link, not the cable

[high radish]

480w draw on white strix 3090 with oc lol

[light bay]

weak

[light holly]

it is OCed though. i don't really know the dif between the normal and the super.

I was just throwing it out there I guess

[light bay]

good bit of difference

[high radish]

Hmm looks like not going over 480w

120% power limit

[jolly inlet]

Is that in furmark?

[high radish]

Yup

[jolly inlet]

Nice. There's a reason they call it a "burn in tool" and not a benchmark lol.

[high radish]

I mean I using furmark as benchmark and monitoring it with hwinfo 🤷

[stoic crest]

furmark used to murder gtx 480's

[light holly]

What should I do about my new white case showing up with the paint chipped off in a dime sized chunk on the front panel? I got it through Newegg.. Will I have to send the whole case back?

[jolly inlet]

Put your hwinfo monitoring interval to the minimum and see if it can get a spike when gaming

[stoic crest]

yes

[light holly]

lame

guess I'll deal with the chipped paint then

[stoic crest]

it's how rma works

so ye

[jolly inlet]

If you send it back to wegg yes you'd have to send it back. Manufacturer might be willing to ship a new front panel no few questions asked.

[light holly]

I'll check it out

[stoic crest]

you can probably ask the manufacturer

[light holly]

it's a 5000D airflow

the airflow panel is what'

chipped

[stoic crest]

yeah they'll give you new one for sure

it's corsair

[jolly inlet]

Oh yeah totally

[light holly]

ok sweet

[jolly inlet]

May have to cover shipping or something but they'll do it

It's still cheaper for them than replacing the whole thing

[light holly]

I'll check out out tonight then

thanks guys

I gotta get ready for the first day of work for the next 17 days straight 😦

ttyl

[jolly inlet]

Good luck, hope you're compensated accordingly

[light holly]

what should I say to them in the email?

that I ordered it off newegg and just recieved it damaged?? or should I just flat out ask for a replacement becuase mine has chipped paint?

[light bay]

keep in mind floppa just asked for a airflow panel for his corsair just because, and they just sent him two for free

[light holly]

@polar field Hate to ping you, but how did you contact Corsair about getting new airflow panels? What did you say to them? I noticed that I can call them as well as tons of other ways to contact them. I appreciate you!

[polar field]

I made a support ticket and told them i loved the case but i had an issue with their non airflow front panle not allowing my case to breath, and asked them for an airflow panel

[light holly]

alright thank you 🙂

[daring depot]

so basically, when i asked for the SK hynix drive on memorial day, i wasted 10 bucks

meh

[light holly]

Not a waste. It's well worth it.

[daring depot]

i mean it is, but 10 bucks

I can buy at least a cup of boba with that money

[light holly]

@fleet marlin if I were to grab that ssd... would i notice any difference in speed in windows on that vs the hynix p31?

[grand orbit]

P31 is better but sn570 is still good, like B tier vs A tier

Weather you'd notice or not ehh

[fleet marlin]

Yeah it's at least a moderate step from sn550/mp33 or something. $39 vs $50+ seemed decent. I bought the sn550 when that was $44, just for reference.

[light holly]

Is there any way to use a NVMe like that like a sata drive? The Million $ Build doesn't have an m.2 slot.

@fleet marlin ^^^ ?

Sorry to bug you guys.

[fleet marlin]

Perhaps this like I bought for my z77 rig? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B098SHJ37J?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

[light holly]

I didn't know that existed. One for a gen 3 perhaps? Or will that one just backward compat?

[fleet marlin]

Yea it's fully backward compat. Being used right now w/ the sn550 (gen3). I figured at $14ish I didn't bother hunting down a non-gen 4 capable one to maybe save a $ or 2.

[light holly]

Ok so this is what I'm thinking.. I need another 1tb for my own pc.. I have a pc that I'm selling that has the ssd that I've linked. Would it be worthwhile to grab the deal you posted along with that pcie adapter to swap them out so I don't have to spend more $ on more storage for my own pc?

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QZkj4D/hp-s700-1-tb-25-solid-state-drive-6mc15aaabc

[fleet marlin]

Mm idk. Adapter might change the overall value. Also a 1TB mx500 (sata) is $90 on amazon currently. Thought I'd mention. Yea sata has the 500-550MB/s limit, but generally not a factor for normal use.

[grand orbit]

Um yes but enclosures aren't really worth it, you could look into a pcie to nvme expansion card tho

[grand orbit]

Pcie is backwards compatible

[light holly]

I mean, the adapter added on makes it just over $50 though right?

Idk, just looking at it as a cheaper way for me to get more storage. The other pc build will never utilize 1tb and will only play Diablo 3 ever lol

[grand orbit]

But yeah btw p31 most of the time these days is just meh value wise unfortunately

[light holly]

That's unfortunate because 3 months ago when I bought it, I was told it was hecka good deal for $100 lol

Thats why I bought it lol

[grand orbit]

Yeah it was 3 months ago

Lol

I meant now in like the past month or so

[light holly]

Oh gotcha.

[light holly]

looks like I only have 1 pcie x16 and 2 pcie x1 on the mobo so I guess this method would be out of the question

[high radish]

is this one decent ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/203963095216?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ANTB-InmQOe&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=QikrwtJhTda&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[undone bronze]

Found all this for 550cad

(I already have a good GPU and looking to upgrade everything else)

[prisma cosmos]

That sounds sus

[azure pond]

nice

make sure its all working

psu might be meh, not sure

[prisma cosmos]

The CPU, AIO and NVMe is already like 550$ already though which is why it seems sus

[azure pond]

sometimes you find good deals

he offered for it to be tested with his gpu

so test it, if it works then it works

[steel wren]

nah, its like 400 between those 3

[azure pond]

its cad

[steel wren]

oh true

[prisma cosmos]

Kraken X53 is 160$ i5 12400F is 230$ Canadian alone

[steel wren]

however those are sold as used parts, so cheaper

[prisma cosmos]

The case in Canada is this

[azure pond]

case is mid

solid front panel

even if its expensive, its not good

[steel wren]

well, now it seems very sus indeed

[azure pond]

again

they offered to test it

[prisma cosmos]

I wouldn't be surprised the person lets him test the real thing and then gets a fake one

[steel wren]

yeah, if he can test the pc before the payment is ok, ill give it a shot

[azure pond]

thats...

ok

[steel wren]

but what if you test on site and walk away with the pc on your arms?

[azure pond]

thats what testing it is

[steel wren]

no window for a shady fake replacement

[prisma cosmos]

I have seen that scam happen once which they would have 2 boxes side by side put the real system in the open box and then grab the box on the side of it to hand to them

[steel wren]

damn, thats... clever

[azure pond]

not really

[prisma cosmos]

The guy thought me and my cousin wasn't looking

[steel wren]

in a wrong way of course but clever nonetheless

[azure pond]

anyone with common sense wont fall for that

[cloud hornet]

Depends on how much one is paying attention. Could fool an okay amt of people

[steel wren]

to pull that off you need a third person to serve as distraction... like a magician number

[prisma cosmos]

But still for a system even used that would cost like 750$ Canadian for 550 just seems very sus

[cloud hornet]

"Holy heck look behind you!!! Its a bird!!"

[cloud hornet]

If it's used, not really

[prisma cosmos]

They could have a system to distract you to play on as well

[azure pond]

bruh

[steel wren]

to be fair if you are buying used stuff outside any kind of payment protection you should be really watchful to everything

thats very basic

[light bay]

Wymmmmm bruh

Is This a deal?

[jolly inlet]

Not really. There's been 3080 12gb models close to that.

[light holly]

How does the 3050 compare to the 1650s? I couldn't find the 3050 on that gpu sheet.

[stoic crest]

it's a lot better

essentially 1660ti with dlss and rt

[jolly inlet]

I put the updated sheet in #graphics-cards

[dim mantle]

Now that the new msi ge77hx laptop is on sale, would anyone happen to know when newegg.com would sell it? Newegg.ca has it listed

[prisma cosmos]

I looked at the sheet and was thinking that shouldn't the 1070 Ti be kind of like on the same line as the 5600 XT?

It is the only one i don't see on it which is why i ask

[jolly inlet]

That's why it's a rough guide, it's not perfect. Talk to Demonmit, he made it.

[azure pond]

1070 ti is a 2060 without dlss or rtx

[prisma cosmos]

Just looked at 2 benchmark video's and the 2060 gives roughly 5 to 10 more frames over the 1070 Ti and all the games were without RT and DLSS

Also that TV i got in my email is a pretty good deal

[jolly inlet]

Which one? The $2600 OLED?

[cloud hornet]

1070Ti can also generally be OCed more then usual due to AIB OCs not being allowed

It was the GPU with one of the weirder rules

[prisma cosmos]

#tech-deals message

That one

[jolly inlet]

Ehh, that's an entry level quality TV so it's competing in the $400-500 category anyway

u can just build for em

@azure pond ayyyy ping me next time 3050 for $250

I mean newegg has 3050 for $249 with $10 shipping fee and it's on back order

[keen marsh]

https://www.evga.com/products/ProductList.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+30+Series+Family&chipset=RTX+3050 You can bundle it @loud sandal

wtf

EVGA's website is bad

what do you mean?

yeah there is?

[loud sandal]

@light holly

[keen marsh]

How do you add it to your cart

[light holly]

I see

[keen marsh]

@loud sandal if you can go up to 360$ theres a B Stock 3060

https://www.evga.com/products/ProductList.aspx?type=8&family=GeForce+30+Series+Family

2060 bit better than 3050

though it's 6gb vs 8gb of vram

[prisma cosmos]

Why not just grab a RX 6600 for 300?

Better than a 2060 and has more Vram

[fair moon]

yeah that's also a good option

[prisma cosmos]

Not good but better

[fair moon]

sure

[fair moon]

seeing a couple 6600's on ebay for 270, same as the 2060

3050 kinda an ehh card

[prisma cosmos]

https://www.newegg.com/xfx-radeon-rx-6600-rx-66xl8lfdq/p/N82E16814150864

Better to buy these GPU's new than used

[fair moon]

used gpus usually fine

[prisma cosmos]

Thing is you never really know what the person does with their GPU before selling it cause they would tend to leave out information and besides that buying new has a better warranty with the store and manufacture

[loud sandal]

Cause I don't want amd

[prisma cosmos]

But you want AMD

https://tenor.com/view/obiwan-starwars-gif-5085191

[light holly]

how come?

[loud sandal]

Just bc

[prisma cosmos]

If you want a 3050 you're going to need to save up more money then

Or wait for Wednesday for the EVGA midweek madness b-stocks

[azure pond]

That is above normal 5600g price...

[prisma cosmos]

Well if you're going to the actual store to buy it then yes it would cost more but with the gas prices it would cost the same

Specifically on amazon

[prisma cosmos]

Which they would need prime for free shipping

[fair moon]

orders over like $30 get free shipping even without prime

just not 2 day shipping

[loud sandal]

What we talking about

[prisma cosmos]

Anyways there are people that would buy most or all their parts from like Newegg instead

[grand orbit]

its fine but too pricey, I would grab one of these

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali586-gladiator/p/N82E16883360221R

[prisma cosmos]

The one with the 3070 i find is the better buy

80$ more for a better GPU and like double the storage

[grand orbit]

its open box tho

[prisma cosmos]

I doubt it would be missing much tho

[grand orbit]

nono just some ppl dont like open box

I wouldnt mind for that large of a discount tho

[prisma cosmos]

I am not a fan of open boxes but if something is priced good i would buy it

[light bay]

Never heard of that, usually it seems to be the opposite lol

[prisma cosmos]

You never heard of people buying all their parts from one source?

[light bay]

Not usually from only newegg

[brittle lagoon]

lots of amazon people

[light bay]

Usually people seem to not want to buy from Newegg if they have retailer preferances xD

[prisma cosmos]

Ya if their retailer isn't going to cost them like 30-50$ worth of gas lol

[fringe olive]

Is that lenovo laptop in deals only 8 gb of ram?

[high radish]

it have high tdp 3060 so maybe adding extra 8gb ram still worth it . Or you can simply buy that gigabyte one

[fair moon]

the fact that retailers are still making gaming laptops with 8gb ram is so stupid

[high radish]

Yeah sadly

[fair moon]

it would cost them what, like $20 to add another 8gb?

[high radish]

On some Laptops 8gb ram is attached to motherboard and you only have 1 extra slot for upgrade lol you can't put 2x16 on it

[fair moon]

there's gotta be tons of less techy people out there running like a ryzen cpu + decent gpu laptop with 8gb single channel

it hurts me

[high radish]

I bought that 2tb 970 evo plus for 150$ earlier

[dull flame]

Why so much hate of the 5600G?

[grand orbit]

It's not a deal

Literally 5600g msrp

[dull flame]

Ah

Burn him!

[azure pond]

genuinely someone should just delete it if he wont

[high radish]

5600g ≈ 3600x with igpu

[azure pond]

5600g = 5500

[high radish]

5500 is also pretty much 3600 lol

I doubt it is actually 3600x with different name lol couse it don't have pcie4

[azure pond]

fair

[high radish]

So paying 180$ for it not looks smart

5600x is acceptable if you have an4 mobo

[light bay]

Not even

5500 sux

[azure pond]

his argument is that since its on newegg its fine

[azure pond]

so does the 5600g

[light bay]

Nah

L3 hurts but not that bad

[azure pond]

well ig the 5600g scales better because of the ram speeds it can run

[grand orbit]

tfw 3600 has pcie 4 and 5500 doesnt kek

[high radish]

Wait what

[grand orbit]

5600 non x better option

[high radish]

Ah yeah non x is alright

[grand orbit]

yeah 3600 has pcie 4 if on b550 or x570

[high radish]

Not much difference but cheaper

AMD pls go home lol lowend market is not for you

[high radish]

12400 is bae

So 12600k is

[slow sluice]

5500x "notice me senpai"

Or is there no x, I forget

[azure pond]

nein x

[light bay]

Never heard of one

If there was one, it'd probs be OEM only or foreign market

[fair moon]

there was a 3500x

china only

[azure pond]

which was 6c 6t

same as 3500

[fair moon]

yup

[slow sluice]

Yeah, I'm only seeing 5500 non-x

The drawbacks of chiplets and high yield :(

[keen marsh]

No.

[azure pond]

you know what i meant

i know it is good for an apu

[keen marsh]

5500 is 6 core 6 thread, pcie Gen 3.0, no IGPU.

5600g is used because of the igpu

And has 12 threads unlike the 5500

[grand orbit]

But yet 7950x is gonna be 16 cores for the 3rd gen r9 in a row

[grand orbit]

It's not that was a false leak

It has HT

[keen marsh]

Oh you right.

That woulda been gross if it didn't

[high radish]

13900k with 5.8ghz wen

[keen marsh]

Wait, why does it exist?

12850k when.

[grand orbit]

Binning

[high radish]

Or is it worth to avoid 13th gen and wait for next gen

[keen marsh]

What do you have now?

[grand orbit]

Chiplets get such higher bins usually so they get fairly little low end ones and well i guess they decided 5500 was the best they could do with those 🤷

[high radish]

12900k

[keen marsh]

Then wait.

[high radish]

5.2ghz only

[azure pond]

ghz doesnt equal performance

[high radish]

Single core performance

[keen marsh]

The gains in gaming performance is trivial.

[cinder kiln]

You could probably wait a good 4 or more gens with a 12900K

[grand orbit]

"only"

[keen marsh]

It more shows in benchmarks with scores.

[grand orbit]

Csgo at 1kfps go brrrr

[high radish]

I working with 12900k lol my gaming build have only 12600k

[keen marsh]

Theres nothing wrong with that

[azure pond]

12600k games the same as 12900k

[keen marsh]

The Pc they gave me for work, (I'm a game tester) has an I5 7400 and a Radeon Rx 480 4gb. And I hope it ends up in a landfill when this project ends. It won't make minspec for the next game cause of the GPU so unless they wanna suffocate something else in this oem case I hope it gets thrown out or somethin.

[azure pond]

essentially the same anyways

[high radish]

yeah pairing 12600k with 3080 and it works arlight

got 12600k for 230$ back then

[slow sluice]

Smaller process, bigger die, and same number of cores. There's something at play here AMD hasn't announced

[high radish]

amd needs to return their good way

recent amd producst mostly sux

r5 5500 , 6500xt , rx6400 ...

[azure pond]

12600k and 3090 is better than 12900k and 3080

[high radish]

idk what to think about it lol

[grand orbit]

There has to be but they announced 16 core max so idk maybe it's for cache?

[high radish]

yeah I was pairing my 3090 with 10700k while waiting for 12th gen lol

and since 12600k is like 11900k so it's pretty alright for 3080

[grand orbit]

I mean they also have huge wins like the 66/67/68/6900 series cards

[cloud hornet]

Could also be more space per core for IPC

[high radish]

yeah I mean recent producs lol

aib prices were sux for amd cards anyways

likke 6700xt for 1k were really sux

[grand orbit]

They're moving to smaller process node so that doesn't really make sense afaik

[slow sluice]

Or pipelining, or extended instruction sets

[grand orbit]

Uh no

[grand orbit]

That would make sense yeah

[grand orbit]

6700xt has been going for ~500$ since like January

[slow sluice]

There were rumors about avx 512

[high radish]

since gpu prices crashed yes

[grand orbit]

Even then they where never 1k

[high radish]

they were lol

[cloud hornet]

Didnt AMD officially state smth about 512? Or am I in a dream and that never happened

[grand orbit]

Always way better priced than nv counter parts

[high radish]

sapphire cars were like 950-970$ or something lol

6800 non xt aibs were for 1200$

[slow sluice]

I think they confirmed it for epyc

[grand orbit]

The rest of them weren't

[high radish]

still bad price

as bad as my 3090 for 2.4k lmao

[grand orbit]

Nope, excluding FE, amd have always been cheaper this gen

[cloud hornet]

In CAN they were generally worse in price. That said AMD ref cards werent super hard to get
Tho Nvidia AIB pricing was way better in CAN, which is prolly why AMD AIB was worse

[slow sluice]

And fe was almost impossible to get for a good year

[high radish]

umm not agreed lol . 6600xt were like 550$ back then which is sux . they were selling couse 3060 wasn't aviable. since nvidia gpus are aviable their prices crashed down to 370$ again lol

[grand orbit]

That's fair, I'm talking purely about US here as it varies by region tbh

[high radish]

I just laughed thing that amd promised 6600xt for msrp and kept his words foor only a week lmao

[cloud hornet]

Yeah I barely payed attention to US market. Only thing I knew way that you had hilariously bad Nvidia AIB prices. 25% - 30% more then CAN, basically US to CAN conversion rate as prices were generally the same number

[high radish]

6600xt isn't good value even with msrp to msrp

380$ msrp for 6600xt while 3060ti msrp is 400$

[grand orbit]

Lol nope first of all that's the odd evga drop, consistently they're 450, whereas 6600xt is now 370 and if they where 550 at any point I'm sure 3060s where like 750

[high radish]

umm I never seen 3060 for 750lol

[grand orbit]

Yeah but msrp doesn't matter if you can't buy it for msrp

[high radish]

they were like 550 for rog strix 3060

[grand orbit]

Did you live under a rock?

[high radish]

also 550$ for rog strix 6600xt and gigabyte 6600xt

I talking about retail prices

if I can indlude newegg into retailers lol

[slow sluice]

*600

[vital inlet]

That is overpriced lmao

[grand orbit]

@high radish here is a prime example
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4m8bt6/pny-geforce-rtx-3060-12-gb-xlr8-gaming-revel-epic-x-rgb-video-card-vcg306012sfxppb?history_days=730

Look at price history

[grand orbit]

strix is always overpriced

[grand orbit]

?

[high radish]

540$ for sapphire tho

[grand orbit]

When was this?

[high radish]

last year lol

[slow sluice]

When last year

[high radish]

idk 6600xt were under 500$ for only 2 weeks when it launched

then all aib prices went up to 500 and more

[grand orbit]

Okay and?

Still cheaper than the 3060s

[slow sluice]

Meanwhile Nvidia was only available from scalpers or the shuffle

[grand orbit]

Another example of 750~ 3060
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pD8bt6/msi-geforce-rtx-3060-12-gb-ventus-2x-video-card-rtx3060ventus2x12goc?history_days=365

[high radish]

lol msi even had 3090 for 3k$ at newegg lmao

[slow sluice]

I put my 1660s on auction when I bought that 3060. Started it at 200 and it went up to 450 plus change

[grand orbit]

I also linked a pny one, could link more bit no point

[cloud hornet]

eBay I assume? Auctions were kinda whack for GPUs cuz fake auction bot wars

[slow sluice]

Yup

[grand orbit]

Ok and ? They also have one for 1680 on newegg

[slow sluice]

Went to Kazakhstan iirc

[grand orbit]

Damm

[slow sluice]

I got payed though and they covered shipping, so it worked out
