Liviu Cojocaru · Dec 2, 2021

Got a Logitech G920 and a 16GB Crucial Ballistix 3600mhz kit

HammerON · Dec 2, 2021

Upgrading the 3900X cruncher soon...

Tomgang · Dec 2, 2021

It´s not a TI, but a EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA is not so bad to have, specielly when it replace a GTX 1660 SUPER

. Now next is to pull 1660 SUPER out and in with the RTX 3080.
.

want to see more of this card and my project build. You can follow it here: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/tomgang´s-project-2-systems-in-1-case-all-air-cooled.283169/

Yeah deffently. I had a EVGA GTX 1080 TI GAMING and that was a great and stable card. I was mostly after Asus RTX 3080 strix, but they are so exspensive. The EVGA card is great alternative solution.

I love my 3070 FTW3. I really think EVGAs small 3090 batch issue with New World spoiled the reputation of their other very great cards.

Yeah properly. But the EVGA GTX 1080 TI i had ran just fine and EVGA is else one of the best manufactors out there. I would chose EVGA over many others for sure.

I tried reading on a tablet back at uni. The backlight gave me headaches. An e-book reader is a lot more comfortable, imo.

tabascosauz · Dec 2, 2021

I can't get over how good this block looks. Dare I say I like it more than the Signature V2 Intel block's looks.

chrcoluk · Dec 3, 2021

Brought a 1TB 980 pro on black Friday sale, discount was immense (same price I paid for 970 evo), however I have no idea how I will use it.

HammerON · Dec 3, 2021

More packages arrived today. This is not the CPU (a 3960X) that is going in this build. I bought it as I couldn't find a good deal on a 3970X. However, I did find one and it is on its way!

Nice.

Though I admit, it's weird to see "Gaming" on the box of a TRX40 motherboard. :laugh:

Mussels · Dec 3, 2021

Ah yes, ye olde threadripper gaming system

With only 144MB cache, are you sure it'll be okay?

Kovoet · Dec 3, 2021

Got a second one today for £27 off gumtree. You cannot get these anymore and if you can at secondhand you looking at 75 upwards. I do not think the guy knew this and it's hardly been used.

Quigly · Dec 3, 2021

WD SN550 500GB NVME off Amazon and an ORICO 2.5" USB 3.1 enclosure from newegg .

NVME is in its target destination with win11 and crunching away at WCG

The ORICO enclosure is going to house a 250gb SAMSUNG 860 PRO SSD for RPI4 projects. Cheap and flimsy but transfer speeds in windows are as you'd expect without heating up too much (despite being plastic)
The current SATA to USB adapter was causing issues as it forced bend on the SATA connector of any drive it was plugged into and required me to disable UAS.

I ordinarily have it double side taped to the bottom of the RPI4 enclosure which is itself attached to the back of the monitor. I'm hoping this one works fine with linux out of the box and doesn't require blacklisting. Still a bit of a gable as I don't know what chip is in it. The die have been rolled, I'll need to take it for a test drive to find out.

£699 from scan uk, but applied for the £75 cashback from Asus

plastiscɧ · Dec 3, 2021

My BELOVED CAT made me decide to buy another (black) one!

tabascosauz · Dec 3, 2021

Bit the bullet, got one of these on the way:

Taking apart the FE is going to suck big time

jallenlabs · Dec 4, 2021

Pretty sure I didn't post these yet...

Mussels · Dec 4, 2021

Do de doo, guess who got a WD AN1500 1TB for free

They overcharged, sent the wrong item three times and after i mentioned that i've been paying interest and fees for all this (and a $300 item that charged $800) they just said "woops, refund and keep item"

Guess i better reboot and see how she goes in an x4 slot first? With a mere 1TB, i may not care about using an x8 slot (which would feed off my GPU)

So, free and in she goes

2x SN730 vs 1x SN850

PCI-E 3.0 x4 vs NVME 4.0 x4

Moved up, speeds did not increase as much as they were meant to
To take this shot, i slid the window from AS SSD over into reality, before taking the photo

@Mussels holy crap is that bad sag on you GPU or just bad perspective on the pic

Hey i'm nearly 40, things start to sag a little (Perspective/angle of shot, went a little fisheye)

I need to decide if going from 3.2GB/s -> 5.8GB/s (wheres my advertised 6.4??) is worth the GPU dropping to x8
