I wonder what is wrong with the Matrix. Asus went cheapo and cut cost on the QC ? And will we see an updated vbios for the replacements? ASUS RTX 5090 ROG Matrix Shipments Paused Amid Potential QC Investigation Swedish retailer INET.SE has temporarily stopped shipping ASUS’ GeForce RTX 5090 ROG Matrix graphics cards after identifying a possible quality-control irregularity in early production batches. The retailer issued a notice to customers explaining that it is awaiting clarification from ASUS before releasing more units. Edit. Will this increase the sinking sales of motherboards?🤐 Retail price changes will appear gradually as stores replenish stock. AMD quietly raises CPU prices — Ryzen 9000 and older chips affected AMD Ryzen 9000 series processor, which will soon become more expensive. (Image source: AMD) AMD has quietly raised CPU prices at the distributor level, affecting both Ryzen 9000 and older models. Retail prices will climb as stores restock, adding to an already sharp rise in PC-building costs driven by memory spikes.

Newer is always better😀 Or is it just newer bro @Mr. Fox A dose of reality for Microsoft: almost 1 billion PCs are still running Windows 10, and half of them can't (or don't want to) upgrade to Windows 11. Microsoft has been making operating systems for almost 40 years, and for some reason, we've seen a pattern that usually includes one good OS and one bad one.

Why go with the worse OS when you have Win 10 LTSC ? Doesn't this video fits the Win 11 thread?

Skyrocketing DDR5 RAM prices reportedly have an effect on motherboard sales, which have halved In a new report from GazLog from Board Channels, motherboard makers like ASUS, MSI, and GIGABYTE are noticing a whopping 40-50% reduction in motherboard sales compared to the same period of 2024. Does this mean they will increase the prices on the MB now to gain what they lose from half the sale? 😀 Two ram sticks (32GIG) cost now the same as a high end motherboard.

Another way to see it... But yaea, 5090 live their own lives. Same as with 24GB 4090's. NVIDIA restocks GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition in Europe https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-restocks-geforce-rtx-5090-founders-edition-in-europe Can't compare them. 5090 ain't a 600W graphics card. And not many run 1000W on 4090's. Neither did many go above 660-700W for daily use with their 4090's. 800W ain't healthy for gaming all day long with single tiny trash power connector. Edit. Why not make a 800W Matrix bios for Asus cards if they are so worried that people will use the 2001W XOC version? The cat is out of the bag. Just release it. Unofficial ASUS RTX 5090 BIOS Emerges With Extreme 2000W Power Target ASUS responded quickly after the BIOS began circulating. The company emphasized that installing unofficial firmware carries significant risks, including potential hardware damage and warranty loss. Because the BIOS bypasses the standard checks used to keep the GPU and its VRM within safe operating conditions, any attempt to use it in a normal system could cause immediate failures.

It will be a crash. And it will be Ugly!

Maybe A$us binned chips for the Matrix. Aka binned for lowest possible voltage to match the 800W target. With two power connectors nothing stopped them at 800W. Maybe Nvidia? They bragged about 1300W for the BTF connector. So why only 800W ? Because they was vorried about the cooling?

Newer is always better bro @Mr. Fox That said, no matter how many changes Microsoft makes, if we compare Windows 11 to Windows 10, there's no contest. Windows 10 is significantly faster and, in fact , loads Windows Explorer instantly. Windows 11's File Explorer preloading feature is here: it doubles RAM usage and offers little speed advantage at idle, but the difference is more noticeable under load.

And the ususal with the new and shiny... Has the password login icon disappeared from your Windows 11 screen? Don't worry, it's just another Microsoft bug. And it just get even better... Microsoft admits flaws in its AI agents and still enables them in Windows 11: hallucinations, vulnerabilities, data theft, and reduced performance

Slight above 700W and the cable feels quite warm. The Matrix without powering the BTF connector. 900-1000W for daily use is the recipe for a disaster. Even at 800W you may test out your luck.

Maybe try find an cheap open box with 5080. Some got lucky. Sub $700 ain't bad. And some bought trash. 3 or 4 see same problem in the same thread. AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Content Creation Review If you go for the cheapest 5090 you find you may go break even when the next gen is out (no loss when you sell it in the used market). If you are after content creation then you should really look at 5090 or damn cheap 5080. Pick your poison (everything is expencive anyway).
