    99.9 Wh battery pls 😁😋 im still in touch with our unicorn wiz to check and see if we can port RPL support to our system. any highend desktop cpu will do, pls and thank you 😁 yep u guys are right, lemme throw it out with the trash, disgusting piece of....nah, i still like it cuz NOTHING ELSE TO CHOOSE FROM 😅

    lol i wish! too much real life getting in the way ffs, havent even started installing it! no os, programs, games on the SSD yet, its still an empty hardware shell without a software soul 😅 were having visitors stay over the weekend, so cant spend any time with the beast. but ill start on sunday for sure!!!!

    TX-1600 FTW. it basically matches the AX1600i's efficiency which is very very very hard, even nowadays, but comes with updated 12VHPWR cables (they include two) and highest industry warranty at 12 years. there are some reviews out by kitguru and hardwarebusters / tomshardware. havent had it for long yet but quite impressed with build quality. also what kinda horror stories do u mean for the AX1600i? it was initially my first choice before the 12VHPWR cables became a thing and the TX-1600 was released recently.

    wth guys, i leave u alone for a day and this thread explodes! ok, post replies roundhouse kick style, here we go... amazing job on the cleanup! how long has it been in use and what cleaning agents did u use? any detergents or special brushes? really not sure what to think of all the recent contradictory 4090Ti / Titan class card rumours... i dont like this increasing trend of more and more ultra specialized benchmarks. i mean, i dont want smth stupidly universal like user bench, but at least do a 3in1 bench for gpu, cpu and ram as the main perf. impacting components ffs. we dont need 50 different benches for every little niche. this is the kinda stuff that is tedious to do but also super fun and rewarding when seeing the results in both visuals and actual performance of the part 🙂 good job! thats just messed up. why not cover it with the same warranty as the main psu and at least give it out for free to recent psu buyers? i.e. thats what seasonic did, so kudos to them! yeah like who tf came up with the stupid idea to put the power connector there... at least offer right angle connector! but im hearing smth is actually in the works in that regard. word. buy the second one in white pls with extra integrated RGB 🤣 yeah unfortunately at least for now were limited to 600W. but so far it seems were less power and more voltage limited isnt it? at least from the user reports ive seen, a bit different vs. the 30 series. as for a potential 4090Ti really not sure how close it might be, if at all...its a gamble. woa wait, is that a double 12 pin cable?! 😲 but wait again, no sense pins? im confused... oooh is that the 3090 ti style 12 pin connector without the sense pins? as mentioned above the Ti(tan) class card is quite confusing to me atm with those rumours flying around. curious to see how it turns out. only thing i know for sure is that even at 20% it wouldnt rub me the wrong way with my 4090, its a winner either way. if even OGs like @johnksss are impressed by the uplift in perf it brings, i KNOW i waited for the right gen to drop my hard saved cash 😋😁 pls shoot me. f*ck Nvidia. and nope, still love my Suprim X 4090, two COMPLETELY different and unrelated things 🤣 nowadays everything from sneakers, concert tickets, hardware, etc. is being scalped, basically any kind of "luxury" or higher end item that people want in troughes. disgusting indeed. if u wanna gamble go to a friggin casino or buy stocks. leave us and our hobbies alone ffs. we actually want to USE those items, not gamble with them to make a quick buck. indeed. i fear this might become a new trend even among enthusiasts... and guess what? if enough ppl do that then well see older hardware getting scalped as well. ffs, when does it end?! lulz i feel kinda bad for saying this, but every day that im following the 4090 unobtainium news i feel better about my sniped Suprim X. just now i saw one card pop up on fleabay for 33% above MSRP, which i paid (the MSRP, thats is, NOT the +33%!) 😅 and that was from a commercial / vendor account.... 2020 wants their scalping prices back! this kinda strategy really sucks. because whatever u do, itll bite u in the balls. if u go and get the 4090 now ull be frustrated cuz of the Ti. if u wait for the Ti, ull only have limited time as top dog until a 5090 gets released. f*ck that! O. M. G. im speechless... and at the same time Schadenfreude FTW, this is HILARIOUS!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣👌🏻👍🏼🥳 sandbaggin fo sho. imagine what they left on the table for basically every other gpu gen cuz they didnt have any previous gen stock to get rid of...uh huh! aight, now behave, not another post explosion inside a day 😂

    yeah well corsair has never been known to offer good value products, they always take a hefty premium, similar to apple tax 😅 huh nvidia offer they own overlay solution? kinda neat, is that standalone or integrated function of the driver? more info pls 🙂 especially interesting for me since im currently on the lookout for mew software before i install my new beast desktop
  6. jaybee83
    aaand there it is haha 😋

    the case is absolutely awesome! SO much space and well built / designed, only little gripe i have is the limited space on the backside for cable management. but its still doable, so all is good 🙂 LOL i just saw u have the exact same gripe, seems were on the same side here 😂 dude, im SO happy i got the Seasonic TX-1600 which already includes two 12VHPWR cables, so very easy and clean gpu power cable management. yes u read that right, i weighted it myself 🤣 TONS of accessories in the box and the mobo itself is a total brick and built like a tank. and it STILL seems small compared to that chongous gpu hahaha! thx man, i took my sweet time with the cable management, so much fun to be building a desktop again after such a long time 🙂
  8. jaybee83
    aaah ok, no worries then, misunderstood, but still got ur wish 🙂 and yes, plenty of space left, doesnt even touch the side glass panel. haha why doesnt that surprise me that such reports of a gpu melting PSUs and tripping breakers would get your attention? 😄
  9. jaybee83
    HA! lot of good that does 😄 but then again, the limiter might impact some kinda workloads not directly related to gaming...

    here some more pics after gpu install: and geez, its SO freaking big (and yes, thats definitely what SHE said, as well! 🤣) i have a behemoth case, a huge AiO, E-ATX giant of a mobo and still, putting this GPU in suddenyl makes everything else looks normal sized or small LOL. as you can see, the Seasonic TX-1600 12VHPWR cable was super easy to route, doesnt really take much away from the tidy interior. just bothers me a bit that the connector goes towards the tempered glass side panel and not off to the side, i.e. towards the AiO. but in any case, i still have sufficient space so that its not pressing against the glass. GPU sag was actually not that bad after install! i needed a level to actually determine if there was any sag and it was tiny. still, i dont want it to get worse with time so i used the gpu holder included with the X670E Extreme, quite handy with a strong magnet in its base so that it stays in place. the tip is rubberized so no scratches to the gpu. plus its small enough to be basically indiscernible behind the GPU power cable. here the "other" side of the system. i marked the spot where the stock cable cover would squeeze onto the psu cables with its sharp edge, it already left a tiny dent on the outermost insulation of the cables. nothing worrisome yet, as the insulation is still intact. but with time that would potentially become worse, so might as well just do away with the cover. side panel is good enough to keep everything in place. wouldve loved to install my 2.5" SSDs in the front of the system, u can see right next to the AiO that there are plates with SSD mounting holes, unfortunately thats a no go cuz no space left between the rad and those plates. so that only leaves the backside with the cables to install the SSDs to....ugh. anyone got ideas on how i could potentially still install them in the front? still need space for top, bottom and back fans, and id like to avoid having to use double sided sticky tape.... on another note, see that blank area below the GPU? thats where a second ITX system would normally go, since the Enthoo Pro II is a dual system case. im planning to install a Raspberry Pi display in there at 10 inches and powered via USB so that I can put a sensor panel on it, kinda like shown here by JTC: cant say it enough, that gpu is a CHONKYDONKDONK boi! cant wait to take it out for a spin 🙂

    dude, jealous! wish i could just take like 2 weeks off to get the system up n running, check out my games and do some tweaking like 15 hours a day 😄 but instead, im heading to Mexico with the lady for our honeymoon, so cant complain too much ahaha. but until then i still have two weeks left where i can squeeze in some quality time with the new beast here and there... anyways, here some more pics after gpu install: and geez, its SO freaking big (and yes, thats definitely what SHE said, as well! 🤣) i have a behemoth case, a huge AiO, E-ATX giant of a mobo and still, putting this GPU in suddenyl makes everything else looks normal sized or small LOL. as you can see, the TX-1600 cable was super easy to route, doesnt really take much away from the tidy interior. just bothers me a bit that the connector goes towards the tempered glass side panel and not off to the side, i.e. towards the AiO. but in any case, i still have sufficient space so that its not pressing against the glass.

    i got the Seasonic TX-1600 which comes with two 12VHPR 600W connectors, so no worries on using that stupid adapter. waaay easier to cable manage 🙂
  13. jaybee83
    LOL funny u should ask, i actually JUST disassembled and removed the metal cable cover cuz it was already starting to uncomfortably squeeze in those psu cables. now i only have the side panel pushing them in but thats ok since no sharp edges. ill take another pic of the cable side for ya 😛
  14. jaybee83
    hahaha that gave me a really hearty laugh, what a wonderful dream u were having! give this man a laptop design job at Clevo! 😁
  15. jaybee83
    deal! 😄 thanks bro @serpro69, appreciate all u guys cheering me and my build on, makes it all even MORE fun 🙂 currently doing my workout, will post more pics after the install inside the system.
  16. jaybee83
    i think we were still on 07, unless he updated it without me noticing. i can check and get back to you if you like. and yeah, havent seen or heard anything about service manual availability either on our side...
  17. jaybee83
    GPU IS HERE! some pics for size comparison 😂 sponge and chocolate bar as standardized reference objects ahaha
  18. jaybee83
    its heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere 🤪🥳 4090 monster sandwich, anyone? here vs. a sponge and a chocolate bar for reference 😅 will post pics after install in the system later, currently still doing workout 💪 oh and yeah, 980M vs. 4090: 1080p up to 2080 Ti, afterwards 4K. so this 7.6x isnt even accurate, likely more like 10x+ ahaha
  19. jaybee83
    damn, way to make it look like a POS 😂 but i get what u mean, from that perspective it really seems like a bad compromise on all fronts. thats fine though, for the usage purposes of my wife this machine ticks all the right boxes and most importantly, will have a long expected life span in terms of upgradeability and performance.
  20. jaybee83
    i guess the tricky thing is to be able and combine the passion with the itch to have the latest and greatest 😉
  21. jaybee83
    welp, you and basically everyone else in this thread. only issue being that Clevo DTRs are a thing of the past... this is currently the "best compromise" in a landscape full of BGA only garbage 😅
  22. jaybee83
    nah im not too worried about noise. just need to ensure the wife approval factor goes through haha
  23. jaybee83
    clever strategy by Nvidia, release the 4090 first and make it look awesome, then after initial reviews were out push the driver to pimp up 30 series so that ppl would be more interested in buying up stock. makes u wonder how much performance is intentionally left on the table for previous-gen gpus otherwise 😛
  24. jaybee83
    haha yep, im aware of those fan cables up front. this was just a quick swap of the fans to the other side of the rad so that i would only need one set of screws to tighten the rad and the fans to the case. this is just temporary anyways until i get the Noctua fans in 🙂 as for BLING, for now no other choice until i get to installing 😂 and other input u have for the build or the LF II 420, lemme know bud. upgrading from a 980M to a Suprim X 4090? nah, id say that upgrade would be barely noticeable.... 🤣 and yes, i went with the MSI haha iirc i read on overclock.net that the Gigabyte liquid card has a true waterblock on it that covers everything. so not just a hybrid thingy like the MSI Liquid sku. however, i dunno if that would include easily disconnectable tubes from the card. speaking of overclock.net, i stayed up late last night and scoured several forums and news sites to get a feel of how the sales launch went for the 4090. seems that there were a LOT of scalpers and bots out there buying up almost all the inventory. this resulted in a LOT of angry would-be buyers who didnt get a shot at getting a card. after reading all that im even more happy i was able to snipe a 4090, at a great price and with a reputable shop, at that! in the meantime, ive been looking around here in Europe for stock and i can still see cards popping up here and there and in stock / actually buy-able. so i think this is some kind of delayed release where shops and distributors just let them trickle out bit by bit so that bots n scalpers have less of an impact in buying up huge amount of cards all at once. lets see how this continues! anyone dare to bet that 4090 stock will SUDDENLY be completely grand and awesome once RDNA comes around? 😂 btw, card should be here any minute now, w00t w00t 😁
  25. jaybee83
    that would have been my next question, if we actually do get any additional thermal headroom even without water circulation 🙂 good to have you as our guinea pig, bro! 😄 impressive, always good to have such inside contacts around 🙂 do you have any testing data available for stock vs. custom? where are you located? directly in Taiwan / China?
