If 140f (60c) is peak then that's quite respectable. Might also be able to look at event viewer for some of the crash reports.

Have you tried using a monitor? (not the internal panel)

Dont worry in 10 years you'll see a private server lol

It also says in that last gif that your preferred GPU is on Auto, does it always say that or should it show the Nvidia GPU as the selected option?

The nice thing about workstations is their value drops off a cliff after a couple of years. Recently came into possession of a couple of 7810 precision workstations, each with 128GB of RAM and 20c/40t, making it a VM box for training purposes.

If you dont know, then ask how to find out. I didnt have @saturnotaku do anything. He's not the type to take orders from the internet in the first place. So you have no interest in filling out the template, and arent interested in recommended systems. This thread has run its course, locked.

Mind boggling, it would mean that the GPU is ONLY able to function in the slot they designed for it. Now its going to be, if its pcie and it fits, it should work* *except for where it doesnt.

That is the global setting but should work as well

Is the GPU selected as primary in the nvidia control panel ? Perhaps needs to be whitelisted so that the Intel integrated graphics arent in the driver seat.

BBB is not a reputable nonprofit nor would I want reviews to be curated by anything approximating the BBB. Reviews are the proper outlet for expressing concerns with a given product. It is the due diligence of the consumer to seek out this information before purchase.

No idea if its available in Canada but I can take a look at what I have at work, I believe it was a wall brick. Ill follow up on Monday

Same, not looking at it until a week or so after official release.

If you can't engage in a constructive manner, then it's time for you to check out.

The template has been served for well over 10-15 years, you're probably the first to attack it as some form for elites. It forces you, the consumer, to have some level of investment in this process. Budget: Not narrowed down at all, in fact more vague than previous. Set a bar with a stipulation that if there was convincing reason to increase it another notch (i.e. new product, or some kind of sale) you are welcome to entertain it. Unlimited budget vs bang for buck are diametrically opposed positions. Just as well so is uncompromising gaming prowess and diminishing returns. Set a number, and give a percentage for above or below the target perhaps? For a lot of recommendations this is the bedrock or starting position that immediately filters out a lot of products. 10 points ignored ? We're off to a good start lol You are putting in a lot of effort to not provide answers to the template and whining about how elite people are. You've had some good folks engage, to which you have turned up your nose while still desiring a responsible suggestion. We may have bias, as all people do, however just as you thought you could post asking for help, it does not completely negate your role here. Its why the template was created and stickied. I have suggested the Alienware 18 (correctly named Alienware m18) as it houses a lot of performance under the hood, we even have some members that have already gotten their hands on one with the top end package that are sharing their experiences with the system and wouldnt have a problem answering any of your questions. Have you considered it or looked at it all? As it fits within your previously defined budget of 5000, offers to date the best performance on paper. Haven't seen any feedback from you on it be it for or against.

Well, pretty much all of it. You state there is no budget, but also not to be wasteful in spending. This doesnt narrow anything down. You dont care about storage, but also looks like you dont intend to upgrade since you dont need slots? If budget is of no concern then why the stipulation? No list of games that are in your rotation. No details for screens, etc etc. The issue is there isnt a corner piece to this puzzle yet for others to work on as a basis to build from. 4050's and 4090's also typically arent in the same conversation for purchase considerations since what they offer is quite different. Couple that with not wanting issues for not having Air conditioning then puts the 4090 at risk since we dont know what environment this will be used in. It sounds more like your question should be, what is the best 4090 equipped machine in the market right now.

A lot of the options at the top have fallen off due to QC issues or in general lack the cooling to properly utilize the hardware under the hood. I hear good things about the Alienware 18, but those are coming from experienced tuners. This sub-forum exists to assist members narrow down their options, but with that being said, if the template isnt filled in a meaningful manner the perception changes from granting options to thinking for you. Which tends to put people off.

Since @ryan decided to necro this thread with the same old hum and drum, I will be locking it.

And let's end the politics there, shall we?

Half of pcie ssd's is still far greater than SATA based SSD's Though the one thing I would be curious about is 4K-Random and if that stays above SATA thresholds. I personally dont care much for PCIE based storage solutions in a system I am typing documents on or gaming.

I think the issue was originally brought up on NBR which caused it's own series of arguments. The main issue at that time that I could gather was there wasn't any way to manipulate the systems behavior under battery operation like you could on most Intel based systems. Sadly that thread also just became a shouting match of individuals arguing for their positions instead of something more constructive. Gotta say though @Papusan being called out as amd fan boy, nearly choked on my drink lol

All of a sudden xfire and sli start to make sense again. Look at the product stack, nothing looks appealing. Double up on what you have? Sure I guess. Too bad that option is off the table now.

Did OCN delete your listing thread?
