on a tangentially related note: i looooooooooooooooove Kirsten Dunst 😍 (and yes my wife knows 😛 😄) edit: back on topic, payment went through and received order confirmation from the french shop for the 5090 suprim 🙂 now to wait until the next batch of cards comes in, should be end of this / beginning of next week.

oh im not planning to sell my whole system 😄 so itll definitely be just the parts im upgrading: CPU, SSDs, GPU and yes, im quite optimistic about landing a good price for my 4090 with current market conditions 🙂

no account at overclock.net, have just been a lurker these past few years. but i might do a thread in the marketplace here 🙂 huh i had no idea about france in this context! good to know, will expand my hardware searches to french shops then. thats the good thing about the EU, aside from shipping no extra tax/customs for imported goods 🙂 yessir 😁

abso-frigging-lutely! never ordered at this french shop before, but trustpilot gives it a 96% positive rating with 200k+ reviews, so i think im good 😄 cheapest available in germany was 300€ more, with most offers at 500€ more than what i paid now. can definitely live with that 🙂 now to prepare my 7950X, 4090 Suprim and the V1 AM5 IHS for sale on fleabay. Those together with my SSDs should bring in the 5090 price easily, with 1k+ to spare (good savings baseline for the 6090 LOL)

aight boiz, the wait is at an end! for the first time EVER, a notification system actually WORKED 😄 while i was re-installing the soft cover of my little princess car seat after washing (was about time, that thing was NASTY, crumbs n stains galore 😄 ), i glanced at my phone and there it was: an in-stock notification for the RTX 5090 Suprim (Air) at a reputable french online shop! Transferred funds, finalized order, wham bam thank you ma`am! And just in time, as well, their supply was sold out inside of 10 min. Current info I have is that it will be prepared and shipped out inside of 7 days, should be good! PS: ah yes, pricing LOL. so that was about 160€ below my budgeting limit 🙂

yup, TM5 is my go-to to dial in D2D FCLK overclocks, works like a charm with the anta777 absolut config 🙂 same goes for D2D RAM OC including subtimings. noice. out of curiosity, what would be ur max frequency at the minimum 800mV core voltage?

keep us posted on the SP ratings for both your 9950X cpus, im highly interested. i was literally SHOCKED when i saw the load temps on my stock lidded 9950X3D with CB2024 and CB R23... 200W package load maxed out at a measly 76C, with average temps even lower. at first i thought i mightve messed something up with the fan settings in bios after upgrading, but nope...it is just THAT much colder, absolutely insane. my 7950X easily broke 90C, sometimes creeping up to 94-95C depending on the ambient temps. delidding and swapping out the IHS should result in craaaaazy OC headroom, both for CPU and RAM 🙂

offers popping up at just +100€ over my budgeting limit....

yeah ure right...best to just send it back and get a refund, not worth all the fuss 😛😉 hope the internal box is alright! ugh...

oh shut it, ure such a tease 😄

aight boiz my trigger finger is itching. starting to see offers on ebay (would never buy there, retail shops only!) and also found a shop in france that sell the Suprim SOC barely 300€ above my spending limit i set for myself for this card. its getting interesting!

its here boiiiiiiz time to update bios, chipset & igpu drivers, set up process lasso (not taking any chances) and then see what this chip can do 🙂 also got myself a V2 AM5 thermal grizzly high performance heatspreader. u might remember that they changed the manufacturing on these, with the new version performing 5C lower than the initial release.

nice, lets push our little forum to new popularity heights andgive those reddit clowns a run for their money 😄 omg....why would anyone do that. i hope the owner of that card is aware that the wrap is basically suffocating the metal fins on that card 😅 keep those deetz coming on how the new one is treating ya! yup i feel ya. with the little princess around and job starting back up in april (end of my parental leave), the little freetime i have is mostly spend with a bit of quality alone time with my lady, as well as playing games. but i recently started compiling a new benchmark suite to get some base numbers on my current setup before new CPU / GPU arrive 😛

damn thats crazy, right smack between the 3090 Ti and 4090, talk about bang per buck! dude, congratz! im jealous, although the stream of 5090s available for purchase has been quite constant recently, MSI cards are few and far between. most of them are basic zotac / gainward / palit cards, which i have zero interest in. and the few MSIs are either ventus / gaming trio or the liquid SOC. the only place im seeing the air cooled SOC is on ebay, ugh... im like you in this regard, when spending such a huge amount of money i damn well sure get the card i actually want! anyways, my 9950X3D will be arriving tomorrow, so thats nice at least 🙂

dayum...so that makes the 5090 even less enticing, considering were basically comparing stock 5090s at 600W to fully unlocked and OCed 4090s.... ugh but then again...everything will be leaked sooner or later 😛

LOL they probably thought it was a scam cuz it was TOO cheap and once u bumped it up it came into the realm of "possibility" of it being real 😄 crazy times

sure hope ure planning to put a waterblock on it then....the stock cooler is already at its limits out of the gate 😅

nice loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong desktop 😄 yeah the image quality is something u may read a lot about in reviews but i find it something different still to actually experience it in person 🙂 enjoy those new displays! ikr, lets see what an AMD RTX-4090 equivalent would look like on equal power footing! welp....this just goes to show how dire the situation must be at Intel that they go the bean counter route now....ugh LOL i had to laugh hard at this, so basically owning a 4090 absolutely MAXIMIZES your chances of "winning" that 5090 purchase lottery... thats crazy. 322 out of total 820 4090 owners got an email, thats 39.3% 37 out of 1847 non-4090 owners got en email, thats 2.0% thus, owning a 4090 increases your chances by 20-fold(!!!), insane 😄

please do keep us posted with 600W+ 7900XTX results and how the PTM7950 is treating ya, very curious on those results! 🙂

aaaand managed to place a third order, now 25 bucks BELOW MSRP! this is a good day 😁😎 Nvidia, take notes: THIS is how u do supply and sales!!!

snatched a second one at MSRP and cancelled the first one, 30 bucks saved! 😄😄😄 i was actually thinking of you bro Fox when reading through the 9950X3D reviews. its regularly beating the 9950X at the same power budget, it seems they kept all the high bin chiplets for this sku (both X3D and non-X3D chiplets). the X3D clocks up to 5.55, with the non-X3D going to 5.7. funny enough, at the stock power budget of 200W the all core clocks 100-150 Mhz higher than the regular 9950X, pointing to improved V/F curves. so the X3D part MIGHT actually overclock better. wanna give it a shot? 😏😁

boom. snagged one 8 minutes in at 4% above MSRP. can totally live with that 😄 could be here by end of this week! w00t w00t! edit: LOL damn i think i was lucky / fast this time around. the shop i got it from was sold out inside of 3 minutes 😄 edit2: no wait, they just got in more supply. enjoy the race, folks! 😄 edit3: aaand theyre gone again....total 7 minutes in stock lulz edit4: aaaand another supply drip just in. ok, enough with these edits! anyone else here on the hunt?

color me impressed! definitely worth the wait, about 30-40% uplift in games vs. my 7950X and even in productivity it regularly beats the 9950X! take a wild guess what ill be doing tomorrow:

nice, thats pretty good value for 100 bucks more.

kool....so whos skipping the 5090 to get one of DEEEZ NUTS? 😄 edit: as for the 5090, prices keep falling and supply keeps improving. just now one of the shops im monitoring got in 8(!) 5090 Suprim Air, and theyre not vanishing inside of seconds. same goes for stuff on ebay and amazon. im thinking that the market demand for 5090s at ridonkulous markups over the MSRP has dried up 🙂 keep HODLING guys, were getting there!
