This is why I never stick to any brand. I look at everything on a product-by-product basis, and I evaluate their current warranty reputation and whatnot in the mix, too. ASUS has this ridiculous fan following that always baffles my mind, however...
I would actually give it a try myself, but I'm sitting here with a Be Quiet Straight Power 12, 1200W, EVGA P2 Platinum 1200W, Seasonic Focus FX 850W, Corsair 850HX (that's more than a bit old but still working plenty fine), Corsair 750RMx, etc...
From the Cultist spreadsheet, there are some:

I simply view a subscription as a value proposition like everything else. The impermanence of the games within, and the limited catalogue, are simply factors to determine whether the subscription is worth it for me or not.
Personally for 10$ a...
People are broke, and there is now a subscription for everything. People are being forced to cut corners and turn to other avenues to get their content, which obviously (yarrr) isn't part of a subscription.
Apple arcade growth is flat, Sony...
According to GPU-Z, you're not really pulling any obscene amounts of wattage. You're actually using less than my MSI Liquid is when I'm playing Cyberpunk (~480). If you were, your hotspot temp would probably climb even higher.
I reckon this is...
Hm? RT is quite noticeable in some titles, especially Hogwarts Legacy. It can look quite nice.. And as an antialiasing technology, DLAA runs absolute circles around any other AA I've tried in almost any title (both performance wise and looks...
Is this a gacha-style game? Nothing of value was lost, then.
I think Arkane Lyon is the one responsible for the Dishonored series, so I'm happy they're surviving. I loved the Dishonored series.
That's fair, but I'm kind of tired of hearing...
Actually quick question before you fix any orientation, have you tried simply running it with the glass panel taken off? That should eliminate any airflow issues and would basically be an open bench. If your hot spot is still that bad like that...
So right now you look like you have a lot of negative pressure in the case, along with your GPU alignment. You have 4 total exhaust (granted 3 through an AIO heatsink but still) and 3 intake. That's a bad thing. You want more intake than exhaust...
103C is really high imo. My Suprim X Liquid has a hot spot of like 72ish? Or 70? (Mem temp is about the same, core temp is much lower) And that is an AIO GPU, so the rest of the components on the PCB just have some tiny heatsinks and a blower fan...
I looked through some reviews of that Tripp-Lite unit and they say that the fan is extremely loud.
I think this is for a different model, but there are reports of people replacing the fan with a much quieter one...
My friend (the one that I grabbed the 7800X3D for from Microcenter, to ship to them) is also looking for a GPU to last them a long time. I'm trying to figure out whether this would be a good deal for them or if they would be better off being...
I hope they tell the winner which ones those were, because that sounds like an absolute bloody nightmare to try to find that in this cluster.
As far as the price, 480k... well I looked up these chips on ebay, it looks like they're selling for...
Good stuff, thanks for the input everyone. I'm just running memtest on it with XMP on before I send it out.
$526 with tax, for a 7800X3D, nice B650 mobo, and 64GB Hynix M-die kit. Even with shipping, should be a pretty damn good deal. Just...
I use pirate ship to figure out shipping....sometimes a regular box is cheaper than a flat rate box.
I've seen where cardboard packed over the cpu socket has been used when there isn't the guard. Maybe you could go back/call and ask microcenter...
Secure, cheap and ugly - is how i do it with non-conductive scraps filling the box until nothing moves around anymore.
But i always put the hardware in an anti-static bag before. Even the ones suitable for a motherbard are cheap on amzn.
Then i...
