soooo.....whats the plan for the new budget? 😁 1-2 more days of benching and then the 5090 goes into my system 🙂

from what ive seen thus far the spread of SP ratings is very tight for Ryzen CPUs, so any slight differences might not amount to much. my SP120 9950X3D seems to be not as robust in terms of RAM OC as my previous 7950X, need wayyyy more voltage to even get 7400 stable vs. the previous 7600. hoping that binning some RAM kits will do the trick though.

what are your SP ratings? and what kind of temp drop did u see after delid and the TG IHS?

Daddy is happy 😁 Likely will not get to install it for a few days, want to finish up some benches with the 4090 first before flashing it back to stock and taking it out. Will be sure to post size comparisons between these two bricks 😄

damn thats rough! here i thought esp. the 5080 situation wouldve been cleared up by now. plus 5090s come into stock way more often and definitely way longer, at least in online shops here in europe. distributors holding back stock to figure out new tariff prices? edit: OUT FOR DELIVERY! aight, time to pack up here at work and rush home 😄

issue with this being: although US tariffs dont affect us here in europe directly for products that we import, say, from asia, it would STILL suck for us! All MSRP pricing follows the standards set in the US for american made products (Nvidia, AMD, Intel, etc.). So if the US pricing goes through the roof thatll be a perfect excuse to adjust pricing here in europe as well. 15000€ RTX 6090, anyone?! 😞 on the bright side: Suprim should arrive here by tomorrow, latest on Friday! w00t w00t!

oh cmon! what else do i need to check once it arrives?!?!? - correct ROP amount - PCIe speed - Power cable - Drivers - Display settings to avoid black screens (potentially disable GSync) - vRAM OC unlock for above +2000 - dont touch voltage slider in AB, otherwise stuck at idle clocks anything else?! 😄

damn that sux, having such badass hardware at home but no time to use it...

welp that goes for 50 series in general, of course. but funny enough, the Suprim is actually in the mid range when it comes to 5090 pricing here in europe. gigabyte and asus are leading the pack, with pny/zotac/palit/gainward the "cheap" options. total range atm without tax is roughly 2620 USD on the low end up to 3490 USD (that would be the Astral LC bro @Papusan. Average pricing is currently around 2940 USD. so basically i paid a pretty average 5090 price for the Suprim 😄 hilarious!

helloooooooooooooooooooo 😎 card is at the shop, package prepared 😁 edit: aaaaaaaaand shipped! 🙂 5090 trainwreck, here i come 😄 @Papusan any specific drivers ud recommend to minimize the damage? 😛

indeed, looking forward to beheading mine 😄

this is one of the reasons that convinced me to jump onto the 5090 "hype train(wreck)" 😄 its ability to push many games im interested in from the 30-40fps range into 60+ range while maxed out with RT (at worst, with DLSS quality enabled, IDGAF about FG or lower than Qual DLSS). daaaaaaaayum!

its funny in your special case, since ure usually laser focused on WoW. would u consider the 5090 your endgame? or would that only be at 240+ FPS for 1% lows in WoW? 😄

will let you know for sure once its in my hands 🙂 regarding sag bracket, im using the one included by the mobo, its all metal, simple design and very sturdy. havent touched the MSI included one.... as for the tentacle adapter, for me its both easier handling / aesthetics, as well as peace of mind. i trust Seasonic WAY more than i do Nvidia when it comes to PSU cables 😛 plus, one less potential point of failure due to only one cable utilized.

niiiiice, very clean setup 🙂 what are the specs again? edit: nvm, saw ur sig 😛 planning any upgrades soon?

No ETA yet, the shop i ordered from is waiting on the next GPU shipment from MSI, latest info was beginning of April. SO "should" be arriving by next week at their shop. welp... i mostly got it for its cooling potential 😄 well well well...you dont say that the 9950X3D has just met its purpose/justification over the 9800X3D in gaming? 😛 😄

@electrosoft did it arrive yet? 😄

easy: numbers. they want the maximum amount of addditional prime subscriptions, and the number of buyers for the 70 class far outweighs the 80 and 90 class!

im s eeing the same here in europe, prices keep dropping, offers keep increasing in number and stay way longer online in terms of availability. you can now easily get your hands on a base 5090 model for less than 2600 USD excl. tax. yes i know thats still 30% above FE MSRP but it is still a very good sign of improvement. and LOL at those MSI MSRP prices, according to those i paid 250€ BELOW MSRP for the Suprim 😄

btw this comment is now making me consider buying like 5-6 kits and just keeping the best one 😄 RAM is currently quite cheap, actually.

whats your ETA?

my 4090 feels offended by this....but is also quite impressed 😛 dude, i JUST finished my breakfast here! was planning to keep it down, mkay? 😄 oh cmoooon..... cant we just get ONE part theese days without the risk of it crapping out on us inside the first week/month/year? seriously...

yep thats what im counting on, it being the sticks. altho i was able to stabilize them at 7600 on my 7950X. i guess theres always an interdependency factor with the CPU IMC. in any case, for now im just gonna dial in the best i can with the current sticks and then focus on the 5090 first 🙂once i got some budget back from selling off parts ill reconsider getting new RAM. so much tuning / tinkering to do, so little time! 😄

shoot, unfortunately nothing new that i hadnt considered before setting-wise. couldnt stabilize 7600 for the life of me, so i abandoned that route for now and focussing on 1:1 settings. able to boot 6600 but not stable, so currently getting a 6400 baseline. if this works out, itll give me more of a perf. boost than going 2:1 at sub-7600. im also considering getting a new RAM kit to check my options there. either a regular G.Skill 8400 kit or G.Skill CKD 9600 (although the latter aint supported in CKD mode on AM5 and its double the price of the former 😄), maybe that could give me more of an edge with this CPU/board combo. you and me both @Suprim loving 😄 ill be starting back at work after my parental leave this tuesday and both my lady and lil princess are planning a trip to the grandparents for two weeks at the end of april / beg of may. means ill be home alone for TWO FULL WEEKS. as long as the Suprim reaches me in time before that, its gonna be gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood 😎 unhindered tuning / tinkering time for daddy 😄 as for the X870E Extreme....soooo Wifi7 and a new colorful display? welp im planning to upgrade my wifi module soon anyways, so COLOR me unimpressed (pun intended 😛) still gonna check out the reviews and detailed spec list once available. in any case, STILL gonna call you Hero folks PEASANTS mwahaha 😄

thx bud much appreciated! currently trying to get a stable baseline at 7600, from which i can extend my tuning again.
