    having troubles keeping up with my limited daily reaction budget! classic papu post if there ever was one 😁 dude, ill be more than happy to take those "crappy" TeamGroup sticks off your hands for the price of the OEM green PCB A-Dies. someone's gotta take one for the team amirite? 😂

    unfortunately not much to go by yet, im guessing these kinda bugs are being ironed out on all mobos. i guess thats the price u pay for being on the bleeding edge 😉 keep us updated on ur purchasing decision bud! righteous indeed 😄 aw man in a perfect world id just wait another month and see what RDNA brings to the table. id love to give them my gpu money just to smite Nvidia, those egomaniac bastards! but since im pressed for (gaming/mancave/free) time, im just grabbing whatever comes first, and thats the 4090, so team green it is... nevertheless, trust me if i say ill cheer AMD on if their 7900XT manages to kick the 4090's butt, I'd totally be happy for them to finally teach Ngreedia a lesson in humility 🙂

    if they decide to go professional / server only, thatll still leave u EOL for consumer product drivers... in any case, please DO update us if u decide to get one 🙂 still very curious

    hmmm....you might want to have a look at the Asrock X670E Taichi Carrara, it sports this kind of marble-ish white pattern. Hardware wise it does seem to be better than the Asus Strix Gaming Wifi with stronger VRMs, USB4 support, internal power and reset buttons and more PCIe 5.0 slots. BUT... i kinda have a bad taste in my mouth recommending an Asrock board here 😅 this is not based on personal experience but just going by their childish behaviour as in blacklisting GN and HUB for criticizing their crappy mobos or cheating / cheaping out on those same crappy mobos (i.e. listing support for the 12900K but gimping it to max. 65/105W hardlocked in bios). admittedly, this was all for their lower range mobo stuff, but still... just that u know! aside from that, the Asus Gaming Wifi seems to be the highest end AM5 board in white so far (at least thats available for sale in europe)

    yep, absolutely. one of the things id be on the lookout for in upcoming bios revisions would be improvement of memory compatibility, i think in that regard well likely see a lot of tuning being done. especially with DDR5 speeds taking crazy strides currently.

    best media engine when it actually works though....regarding drivers 😅 plus ure taking a gamble on mid to long term support.
  7. jaybee83
    haha i think thats a pretty good indicator for demand 😄
  8. jaybee83
    what can i say, only the best for my lady and her gear (and more toys for me to play around with 😂) however, im not planning to get her an RPL cpu anytime soon, ill likely wait for 14th gen to come out first and prices to drop. Alfred is already overpowered as it is for her needs 😄 yep, as usual wait for third party reviewers to show us proper data. whatever the case, i have the feeling itll be veeeery close, give and take depending on the benches. competition is sooooo awesome....

    makes sense man, i wont be building a new rig two years from now either, so no need to call it quits on a 2020 rig yet. oh totally on the 4090, the 3000 series is a cursed generation from my point of view, completely messed up due to pandemic demands. if i werent in such a tight spot regarding timing, id actually wait for RDNA3 and give Nvidia the middle finger out of spite for their atrocious practices. but, it is as it is! in the meantime, got an update from the shop i ordered the mobo from: seems like the distributors had to push back their delivery dates, which kinda sucks. but at least theres no other rando in front of me and it looks like every other shop is affected by this, as well. literally nothing in stock anywhere for the Asus X670E Extreme. so far that is "kind of" acceptable, since ill have to wait for the case until 07-Oct anyways for it to get back in stock. so its not all lost yet 😛 edit: btw i just noticed i totally DERPED on the poll and forgot to include Raptor Lake + RDNA3 as an option! u guys think this might actually be a viable option for peeps? or would it be more like "if you go Intel then u dont do AMD GPUs"?

    you should switch your avatar pic to the Collector hahaha

    see, with me being out of the desktop game for so long, this kinda stuff is invaluable info. on laptop u basically had two bios versions to deal with: stock and PremaMOD. and once u flash the latter, u wouldnt ever wanna go back anyways 😄
  12. jaybee83
    Updated OP with details on RAM! Now time for bed *yawns*
  13. jaybee83
    yeah what happened to the whole acer predator lineup? barely hear or see anything from them anymore.
  14. jaybee83
    jealous! unfortunately no offers here in europe yet, still maxing out at ddr5-6600. 7% performance difference just due to simple bios version difference? thats insane!
  15. jaybee83
    very cool, i had already seen that it was possible to adjust or disable the temp target away from the 95C, and here it is! but lets be honest guys: dont we do exactly the same when overclocking manually? we maxx out power, amperage, cooling, voltage and then either hit a brick wall with silicon quality of with thermals. AMD is now basically automating this so that everything is maxxed out until it hits the temp target. yes i know, we prefer to do stuff manually and have BOTH max clocks AS WELL as ice cold temps. but for the everyday user this is pretty neat to have.
  16. jaybee83
    thanks man, i actually feel very lucky indeed. the only fault with this one was that the USB-B cable was missing in order to connect the monitor's internal USB hub to the computer. but that can just be bought later for a few bucks, not even sure im gonna use the hub anyways. ha, the case will likely not match the display since it will not be white 😄 but thats ok, black matches everything as we all know 😉
  17. jaybee83
    ha no worries, no more SLI even on the XX90 sku 😅
  18. jaybee83
    oh yes indeed 😁 lets also see what that 6Ghz monster KS will bring to the table next spring haha! good times! yeah i noticed that already during their presentation....what a sneaky dick move the way they presented data and used different memory configs.... seriously Intel, grow up 🙄
  19. jaybee83
    i totally feel you bud. i was in exactly the same situation these past 15 years, constantly moving around on an intercontinental basis so i couldnt NOT go laptop. but now is the time to build a BEAST again, the near and midterm future will be quite stable location wise, so here we gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ðŸĪ˜ and you and me both @looking forward to final build and benchmarks ðŸĪŠ got an update on my mobo order: apparently my order cannot be processed further due to the mobo not being in stock... wtf? i specifically ordered with that shop yesterday during that time since they listed the mobo as in stock! i sent them a message to clarify on this and also again detailed the exact timing of my order. i dont want any other rando's getting that mobo before me even though they ordered AFTER i did 😛
  20. jaybee83
    geez, this monster even makes the 51m look SMALL by comparison, what the heck 😄 btw, dont worry too much about the cabin baggage size restrictions, such small dimensions over the max would not bring any attention (only if they find out that theres actually a laptop of such dimensions inside lulz). oh yeah i forgot that that thing also had mechanical kb switches. how do they feel? and what kinda switches are we talking?
  21. jaybee83
    PSU just arrived! time to update the OP 😁 Edit: OP updated with PSU info 🙂 Rest to follow bit by bit whenever I have some time here and there. Btw, hilarious how equally divided the poll seems to be so far. This is wonderful to see, because it means we finally have ACTUAL competition going on in both the CPU and GPU space, w00t w00t! NBT freaks rejoice! 😄
  22. jaybee83
    do you use it on the move at all? whats the screen res and refresh rate again?
  23. jaybee83
    true. Asrock was out of the question right from the get go for me, alone judging by their childish behaviour in blacklisting reviewers like HUB / GN, as well as cheating and cheaping out on the lower end boards...
  24. jaybee83
    whoa wait, was that the 21 inch curved screen monstrosity? u got some pics? and yeah, very curious how this crazy machine holds up in day to day 😄
  25. jaybee83
    makes sense, if the game needs to load up any items and it uses the page file on the main storage, even if its an Nvme SSD itll take waaaaay longer than loading resources from RAM, thus the higher latency. i go for a balanced approach, i manually set up a small page file to avoid crashing but minimize its size to maximize ram usage overall. yep, absolutely aware of that, ive watched Roman's temp scaling vid and as usual quite nice findings. lets see what i can do via undervolting and push/pull with Noctua IPPCs 😛 haha as for illumination i think itll be too much for your taste 😄 the overall theme will be quite black but im gonna have some RGB here and there for some bling, although ill not go overboard 😉
