  1. hmmmm tough decision. whats ur use case and ur budget? will the 3080 eat some of the budget u would invest into a 40 series or RDNA 3 gpu? if so, better wait. if it doesnt make a difference budget wise then go for it and enjoy high fps until u make a proper nextgen decision. same goes for use case: have time NAOH for gaming and later not so much? then go the 3080 route. otherwise, if the 1660 holds u up sufficiently in your current games, its worth the wait.
  2. alright its looking promising: i threw some Kombustor and Furmark at the gpu and hit the full 108% TDP = ~520 W max at peak. on average it was around 500W and bouncing off the power and voltage limits alternately. first time i had a glimpse of 3210 Mhz on the core, holy guacamole 😂 but at that level i started to see some artifacting nevertheless, i think i got pretty lucky with this chip, seems to be quite frugal in terms of power consumption and is able to clock quite high. VRAM wise looks like im pretty average at around 24-24.5 gbps max.
  3. LOL dude ur parts are arriving at a blistering pace! it took me like 1.5 months from the very first order (mouse) until the very last core part actually arrived (gpu). with u its like wham bam bam, done and done inside a week 🤣
  4. haha i dont get the logic behind this either, but apparently there is indeed a difference between the two. otherwise, why would all 600W rated direct PSU cables only have 2x8 pins on the PSU side? what i wanted to say with this is that there arent any variations between those direct cables vs. the 3-4 pronged adapters. might have something to do with losses / temp variations due to additional mechanical connections. and yes, in theory it could be the PSU not delivering the power, but so far no indications for that. ive been hitting 3050-3180 Mhz on the core at 1.1V where i hit those 465W. i doubt that it would go above 3000 Mhz if the power were limited. as i said, i want to do some heavier stress testing first so we have better idea whats going on. will keep u guys updated!
  5. ah no the number of 8pin adapters cant be compared on the GPU facing and PSU facing side. GPU facing vs GPU facing 4x8pin > 3x8pin > 2x8pin, but for PSU facing side all cables come with 2x8pin. besides, all testing ive done so far was voltage limited, i havent seen power limits come to fruition yet, thats why im looking for more power demanding tests 😄
  6. nope not yet, but thx for the pointer! was also thinking of throwing smth stupid at it like furmark or kombustor 😂
  7. yep its quite beefy, although from the looks of it the be quiet cable might be comparable. highest gpu power draw ive seen so far was 465W at 1.1V and oced. havent run any 3Dmark benches yet, so curious to see what thatll bring. i want to prove without a doubt that the TX-1600 cam exceed 450W on the gpu 😋
  8. ive actually noticed the same for the regular Suprim X, saw the pricing on a particular online shop thats known for strictly sticking to MSRP pricing go up by 20€. not much yet, but maybe a sign of things to come. i was surprised at the start that the suprim 4090s were priced so low in comparison tbh, while being the ones with the strongest vrms and among the higher quality cards. so glad i got mine at the "super low" introductory price then!
  9. actually, havent they already changed the whole usb naming scheme to just list the speed? the usb 4 v2 moniker is supposed to just be for internal developer reference. consumer facing theyll just list Gbps: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/09/usb-if-says-goodbye-to-confusing-superspeed-usb-branding/ in any case, i juuuuust got my first 40 gbps (usb 4 / tb 4) ports in with my new desktop build and wham heres the next gen already 😂 quite insane if you think about it: 40 gbps is already sufficient to saturate external PCIe 3.0 x4 drives, with the new 80 gbps doing the same for PCIe 4.0 x4 drives, craaaaazy
  10. alright guys, finished installing Hyperion, next step is to collect all my data off the Dark Knight and transfer it over. also planning to temporarily empty my two 860 Evos so I can fuse them together in a RAID 0 config. does anyone know if TRIM is still available for a RAID ssd config? would have to test that before i keep it. currently in JBOD, but easier to use the whole space in RAID (plus advantage in sequential performance which is my priority for like 99% of the data on those two drives). while installing, couldnt keep myself from doing some quick 4090 testing and oc 😅😋 so far ive been able to push the core up to 3180 Mhz and VRAM to around 24+ Gbps, absolute BEAST this gpu. ill need to do proper stress testing though to check stability. temps are in the mid 60s with hotspot hitting 70-74C. this is with my case cooling still pretty barebones, only have the three push fans on the AiO in the front and the three gpu fans, thats it 😋
  11. hardware pr0n, hope theres no kids around! 😂👌🏻
  12. haha i figured this would be right up your alley in all white!
  13. update on the neptune 4090, power range is 550 to 630W: https://m.expreview.com/85168.html
  14. yep ive seen this behaviour early on in reviews, i think it was HUB. i didnt know about the higher gaming perf with just one CCD though! wth guys, why do we always need ro deactivate smth, baby cores or a ccd with the new cpus? 😅 need to check how mine is behaving, apparently not all cpus show this behaviour. still busy installing and setting up everything, havent gotten around to much tuning yet.
  15. still setting up Hyperion and already encountered some driver install issues, but for now im just barreling through all my apps n games to get it done asap. in any case, was just curious to check it out (naturally 😛), so did some quick n dirty oc on the 4090 with MSI AB, ended up with 3150 Mhz Core and 24.1 Gbps on the VRAM. hot dayum!
  16. noice, desktop boiiiis lets goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
  17. resist that temptation! get another sku instead for like 500 bucks less 😄 would be nice for corsair to get a bit more competition in that space. pricing is comparably crazy but at least with EVGA i have hope that there might be some worthwhile extras with it like software, tuning ability, good fans, etc. and not just an apple-esque "name" tax. word.
  18. also stock psu and whenever i do stress testing im also reaching that 260W, thats the cap on the mobo. but ive only ever experienced sudden shutdowns when allowing the CPU to get consistently over 98-100C. i could imagine that maybe the nearby VRMs also get too hot and thus inefficient to be able and stay stable.
  19. btw guys, preliminary review on the 13900K, apparently some lucky dude ordered one online and they actually send it out to him 😄
  20. wooooooooow.... dont drop it dude! 😅
  21. wouldve been an awesome way to pass the waiting time, getting to know Arc in depth and providing tons of info to the community here :) too bad theres nothing available...
