Pretty sure they were saying that the reason why it is faster for gaming is not "weird" if you understand why, not that it isn't faster.

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. Despite any negatives or any drawbacks, you just...

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. Too many good, reliable power supplies, so there is...

From the Cultist spreadsheet, there are some: Sama Armor Gold HTX B7 https://www.mygarage.ro/teste-si-review-uri/383426-review-sursa-inter-tech-sama-armor-550w-80plus-gold.html https://www.expreview.com/56643.html https://www.xfastest.com/thread-182244-1-1.html...

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 month, Gamepass has been a value proposition that...

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 just a slightly defective GPU. Maybe the cooler 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 wise). DLAA makes older games like No Man's Sky...

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 about "Larian says this" or "Larian says that." They...

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, then you might want to RMA as the above user says...

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. Right now your intake air is probably just going...

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 configuration. Only the core actually has AIO...

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 dissuaded to just wait until the 5090 series releases...

How is their warranty?

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 about $40-50 a piece? They just got 8000 of them. 1%...
