  1. 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...
  2. did u get ur hands on that A4500 yet? where are u gonna put it?
  3. ugh, havent yet decided which OS im gonna put on my beastly desktop yet, still building currently. but this doesnt bode well...
  4. what would u be using the second card for? especially since the 4090 did away with the SLI / NVLink connectors...
  5. 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.
  6. ahaha i have that EXACT figurine on my night stand! 😄
  7. oh wow thats crazy! i expected win11 to have way more market share by now 😮
  8. 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 🤣
  9. 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...
  10. surprise surprise, pandemic-high is over, welcome back to recession reality! 😅
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. sigh, seems like the time of the great Clevo machines is over. time to go to the promised desktop land
  15. added an "up to" to my previous post 😛 hahaha
  16. haha wow, very unusual to see you so excited about a game release! thats awesome 🙂
  17. 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 😄
  18. aaaaah the good old Khenglish days....he was a total mad lad! 😄
  19. aight folks, its getting serious: AiO arrived today, that only leaves keyboard and case, which are already on their way and will arrive on monday 😁 i better start reading up on that THICCCCCC mainboard manual to get prepared for the build yehaw! 🤠
  20. duuuuuuuuude those raaaaaaaam speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds! what voltages? temps?
  21. tbh, one might as well just do a bunch of kapton tape cutouts around the IHS and beneatht the ILM. might not be as "elegant" of a solution as this Noctua paste guard, but better protection including against LM and also easy to remove and redo. this was actually THE first thought that popped into the my when the Zen4 IHS was first leaked a few months ago: oh gawd, thats gonna be a mess to properly clean up after every single repaste....😅
  22. i can actually picture you being the new figure head for intel overclocking brother Fox, for both CPU and GPU. even if just to stick it to the green man! 🙂
  23. holy crap i need this! off to the shops! edit: aw man, availability from Dec onwards....? ugh
