    Odyssey Neo G8, because I can 😁 should be a nice pairing for the 4090 haha

    semantics 🙂 same with naming it "Tea Ay" or "Tie" (Fighter) 😛 i have the feeling that depending on how far ahead they are vs. AMD they name it the former (Titan = ahead by a wide margin) or the latter (Ti ahead but trading blows) word. 1440p drives the 4090 into a cpu bottleneck, doesnt matter which cpu u use. and even at 4K some games push it into the cpu limit, its insane 😄
  3. jaybee83
    thats pretty much the sad state of gaming atm: we have a gpu that is so blistering fast that it even bottlenecks current highend cpus at 4K, but at the same time basically all current and newer games are horse crap...

    not ready for a switch to linux just yet 😅 itll be for both work and fun.

    haha i feel you man. were currently on the lookout for a new appartment to rent and ill be happy if i get my own room / mancave or a corner where i can put all my stuff. thats life! 😄 whats your time plan for your build? any ideas on specs yet? yes and yes. i got it directly from Arctic via their ebay account, that way i could be sure i got a sku without any of their recent troubles with faulty sealing rings. btw, first successful boot today! w00t w00t! initially i had trouble getting it to boot, was showing memory error codes. after some trial and error i found out that the board prefers the first two sticks to be in A2 and B2, strange. ill do a bios update and see if that changes anything. also noticed that the case LED strip is not lighting up, but ill check that sometime later. for now, thats not a priority 😛 next step is to get all the drivers, os and software together and go ahead with the install! ill post some more pics later on 🙂

    stock bios nope @undervolting. but u can still use Throttlestop with a K sku cpu. as for the heatsink, i dont think so. although we dont have a user here yet with the 3060 machine, do we?

    ius Newegg drunk or smth? wth... i also saw someone post on Ebay, offering 4090s from "various brands" with availability "on 12th Oct onwards" for 3500-4000€. completely nuts. i hope both of them will be left with their d***s hanging out when they realize NO one will be buying from them.... oi! HAPPY victim, aight? Stockholm Syndrome FTW! 🤣 but jokes aside, im not expecting that much of a difference betwen 13900K and 7950X. my prediction: depending on the games and productivity tools tested, some reviews will see the 13900K ahead, while others will crown the 7950X instead. and in the context of the whole platform and longevity / future upgrades, AMD just makes waaaay more sense to me than a few % more performance in select games / programs (worst case). as for the 4090Ti, rumour mill is saying that Nvidia for now is holding back on launching a Ti / Titan Lovelace card since theyre having trouble with heat n power consumption lulz. so dont expecting anything like that so launch soon, rather a year or so from now...

    did u get ur hands on that A4500 yet? where are u gonna put it?
  9. jaybee83
    ugh, havent yet decided which OS im gonna put on my beastly desktop yet, still building currently. but this doesnt bode well...
  10. jaybee83
    what would u be using the second card for? especially since the 4090 did away with the SLI / NVLink connectors...
  11. jaybee83
    what brother @Papusan said. basically impossible to find more than one 2.5 inch drive bay nowadays, even more so in combination with an optical drive (bay). ud have to go back a few gens and check the big DTRs of Clevo, MSI, Alienware to maaayyyybe find something along those lines.
  12. jaybee83
    ahaha i have that EXACT figurine on my night stand! 😄
  13. jaybee83
    oh wow thats crazy! i expected win11 to have way more market share by now 😮
  14. jaybee83
    amen to that. i remember during the pandemic i was sooooo itchy to get new hardware but now i am sooo glad i didnt pay those absolutely insane prices. AM5 platform and 4090 now seems frugal in comparison 🤣
  15. jaybee83
    well now THATS a "coincidence" in timing.... 😄 but about time if u ask me, its been 6 years! and way too many niche benchmarks for mobile, office pcs, ssds, cpus, etc...
  16. jaybee83
    surprise surprise, pandemic-high is over, welcome back to recession reality! 😅
  17. jaybee83
    HAHA nice! trigger finger is ready for 4090 launch day after tomorrow 🙂 but first lets check some reviews tomorrow so we know whats up! btw 660W max. TDP confirmed for FE and select partner cards, wooooooo
  18. jaybee83
    here we gooooooooooooo 🤠
  19. jaybee83
    and so it begins... i was baaaarely able to fit all the boxes on our small living room table 😄 big box in the back bottom for the Neo G8, top for the Enthoo Pro 2 SSD, CPU and RAM install was a breeze. nothing really changed since about 15 years ago or vs. laptop hardware 😄 just everything way BIGGER and BEEFIER! this pic is without the mobo heatshield for the SSDs, needed to leave it off until the mobo was installed in the case due to covered screw holes. heres the mobo inside the case. the X670E Extreme is MASSIVE in E-ATX factor, so yeah....imagine what a behemoth the case is to make the mobo look so small 🤣 aside from having unpacked and checked everything and prepping the keyboard (switched out some buttons on the Ducky One III, can see the kb on the top of the third pic), thats it for building today! tomorrow ill continue with the CPU cooling and PSU 🙂 this is SO MUCH FUN! 😁 edit: fixed images

    true dat, the last bastion of standard MXM are the industry/medical/defense/automation partners that force Nvidia to support them until end of their lifecycle agreements. who knows how long thats gonna last. and even then, were talking insanely expensive Axxxx / ex-quadro cards.
  21. jaybee83
    sigh, seems like the time of the great Clevo machines is over. time to go to the promised desktop land
  22. jaybee83
    added an "up to" to my previous post 😛 hahaha
  23. jaybee83
    haha wow, very unusual to see you so excited about a game release! thats awesome 🙂
  24. jaybee83
    thats also something i very much look forward to, for the 4090 to bring (up to) double the gpu horsepower to the table so we can push the new cpus more and better see whos boss and whos pretending to be one 😄
  25. jaybee83
    aaaaah the good old Khenglish days....he was a total mad lad! 😄
