The 4TB WD_Black SN850X NVMe SSD is back to its all time low price at Amazon The 4TB WD_Black SN850X Gen4 NVMe SSD, with read speeds of up to 7,300 MB percent and with Microsoft's DirectStorage support, is discounted at Amazon at its all-time low price of just $229.95. Here home... Cheapo $372.40 USD. Or +140$ above.

You shouldn't. Do it the right way. Not the wrong way😀

Dont forget.... You are not limited with space in a desktop chassis. In laptops you haven't much other choices than buy the biggest M.2 NVMe you can find. Just look in an Mac-Joke. Soldered ssd nand/chips because of the very limited space in the Jokebooks chassis. Many lap-jokes come with only 2x M.2 slots. Some with only one or even only with the shorter 2240 M.2 ssd's.

From me to you all.....

Merry Christmas to you all... Dec 24 is already popped up here in the cold North🙂

You can also blame PCI-Sig and the engineers for this. They could have done a better job. And they didn’t have to make the power connector so damn tiny. They could have pushed nvidia to accept a slightly bigger 12+4 power connector. 50% bigger would have made a big difference paired with better and more secure design. A more heavy hook and latch with the same tiny designed connector that locks the connection would also help. You can barely hear the locking. Sometimes you don’t even hear it.

Maybe the reason they gambled on the v1.1 saved their assss. At least to reduce the huge loss. They had their golden chance to stop this before it become too late. But I expect they was afraid for the problems that would occur. The same would happen if they stopped offer angled adapters after the v1.0 failure. The loss would be there anyhow. See also... The problem is that, even if you have adequate insurance, the product recall service won’t be a smooth ride. You’ll still be required to deal with a wealth of regulatory issues and to engage regularly with your insurers – all while trying to work out what went wrong on the first place. It’s not enough to simply have product recall insurance. Should you ever need to make a claim, your insurers are unlikely to offer you any advice or guidance. This is likely to make the process even more stressful than it should be, and as a result, you may not receive everything you’re entitled to. What Does Product Recall Insurance Cover? And I think not all product liability insurances products will cover everything. This mess will hurt them bad. Proper QC cost money. Same if you use quality parts. But if you shrink on everything it may cost you even more. Greed can sometimes bite you in your butt.

Could be the recall will cost Cablemod $95 USD for each damn adapter. Jayz say at least 50.000 units. If we talk about 100.000 adapters this may cost them close to $10 millions USD. Thats a lot of money. Even half the amount as etch the suggested 50.000 adapters will cost them. Then you have the brand damage. That come also at a price. Will most of this be covered by insurance (if they have Product Recall Insurance)? @Mr. Fox Or are they doomed to take a huge loss?

Yup. Hence I went with the bigger H7 Flow for my son. More space is better than lack of space. You never know what you'll put in later. The build for my son.

I think it doesn't matter much with weaker GPUs. Buy the i9 if you know you'll get an 4090 within short time. 4080 is overpriced so that card shouldn't you touch for now. But as bro Fox said.... Maybe buy an i5 now and grab a cheap i9 once the 15th gen is out. Or see if the difference in price isn't that big between i5 or i9 when you start buying parts..

I would avoid EVGA PSUs. Rather look if you can find an used or new Corsair HX1500i for cheap. Or the revised model with ATX 3.0 specs. The nice thing with Corsair.... They still haven't jumped on the 12VHPWR connector hype train for the PSU panel. And you get loads of 8-pins connectors. The new and more modern models barely fit in 5 of them. Some even come with only 3 or 4 of the 8-pins connectors. Avoiding EVGA come from many reasons. You don't know if they are here the next 3 years and they have shrinked on quality and cut down on warranty. Both, is big nopes.

Hope Cablemod and their shilled mods can't ban me in the nvidia reddit forum. Me is all too honest🙂 Or can they bro @electrosoft? Yup. Some don't like that you are honest. Will see if CM will un-bann us honest people, HaHa And if you have followed CM reps claims about their "safe cables with the 12VHPWR connector" don't suffer from same melting... They are lying All Cpus now is bottleneck with 4090. Even at 4K. But this shouldn't stop you from building a new PC today or tomorrow. There will always come new HW and they all will suffer from the same problem.

How big will the loss be if Cablemod now have to refund +100.000 angled adapters? Each adapter costs minimum $29.99 USD. And what with the shipping costs? You never got what you paid for. Will be fun see what pops up. I would claim all money back. Also for the shipping.

The sad part. I wonder how many still have the v1.0 and continue use it. And how many stupids bought the v1.1 and will use it thinking "newer has to be better" @ryan🤐 until it melt down the cards. Could be as much as 100.000 adapters out there. Maybe Cablemod also this time can trick some people over on their "so called safe cables" with angled connectors to reduce the loss from this adapter failure. And how many have the angled adapeters for the lower tier cards as 4080/4070Ti and 4060 Ti thinking they are safe? They all will burn up in the end. It's only a question of time.

@electrosoft Cablemod 1.1 adapter melted my 4090, had it secured all the way 100%, v1 had no issues Posted by u/CableMod PLANNED VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL OF CABLEMOD 12VHPWR ANGLED ADAPTERS, V1.0 and V1.1 Dear Hardware Community: It has come to our attention that certain CableMod 12VHPWR Angled Adapter V1.1s may be defective. We have since decided to discontinue sales of our angled adapters. We will be conducting a voluntary safety recall for all CableMod 12VHPWR 90 ̊ and 180 ̊Angled Adapters V1.0 and all CableMod 12VHPWR 90 ̊ and 180 ̊ Angled Adapters V1.1 because of the potential risk that the male connector could become loose, overheat, and melt into the GPU. This recall will apply only to our angled adapters and will not affect our angled cables. Yup. I was spot on @Rage Set @electrosoft😁 But "voluntary safety recall" whats that? So people can have a ticking bomb for the Christmas/New Year holidays? PLANNED VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL OF CABLEMOD 12VHPWR ANGLED ADAPTERS, V1.0 and V1.1 cablemod.com And the stupid mods at Cablemod reddit forum banned me for only telling people the truth... Oh'well, can't expect more from that part.

As the thread title say... "PC hardware you should avoid". Please post about your bad experience here. Thanks

Not sure why you show oc'd 4080 mobile vs stock 4090. Oh'well. Here is the real numbers if you take account that Notebookcheck used an Ryzen Cpu for the desktop build. Far away from 60%. More like +100% difference in performance. https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-4080-Laptop-GPU-Benchmarks-and-Specs.675174.0.html Remember the 4080 die is under half of the cores vs 4090 desktop chips. You can't change the undelying physics in the HW bro ryan https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-4080-mobile.c3947 https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-4090.c3889 And if you look here. 4080 Mobile is in short an cut down 4070 Ti desktop chips and with capped TGP https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-4070-ti.c3950 With fake frames you can have fun with all sorts of older HW. Welcome the future... nvidia need help from it's enemy to boost FPS for their older GPU's. If you accepts a few hiccups/visual issues then why not? Nvidia won't help you if you haven't the latest and greatest so you'll have to look other places. FSR3 mods to double your FPS on Starfield and Witcher 3 Have created a new thread you all can post in if you experience bad products/bad value. PC hardware you should avoid. The do not buy list for computer parts. Any reason you don't test out some Klevv sticks? Because this brand is a subsidiary of SK Hynix. So they should be able to have access to a lot good binned IC's directly from it's mother company. Can't be much more expensive than G. Skill. Maybe more difficult to buy (limited availability) in U.S ?

Where did you get those numbers from? If < 4090 desktop card only offered 60% more performance than a wimpy power castrated 4080 Mobile I would throw my 4090 graphics card down the toilet. Congrats bro ryan 🙂

Yup. It was very important for AMD to be sure that Starfield crashed/was impossible to game with Intel graphics. They would never do that with Nvidia. Or would they?😎 Stupid tech you should avoid bro @ryan for your coming PC build. When will this sick trend turn around? More and more bling bling and continued price hike. This perversity won't stop. Only $3 lack and you'll see a black single fan for $50 USD (the white version is $52). That would mean +$1000 USD only for the fans that is visible in my pc box. Yup, that's perverse.

Yup. Fans are more than just fetish😁 A single fan can destroy your reputation.

Nice.... Yup, the newer, the better. Always, HaHa In addition, the problem should not affect systems running Windows 10—only the most recent Windows 11 versions were hit. Microsoft confirms Wi-Fi issues in Windows 11 KB5032288

Cancer!!!! Never ever touch that brand. See for yourself... Have you seen similar before? Probably, because proprietary MB is the normal in laptops. But in desktops? Nope. XPS 8960 Service Manual | Dell US This is how a MB should looks like if they followed the ATX form factor. But Dell and a few others walk their own way with proprietary design. And not only for the board... I fix it for you bro Fox. They are equal Cancer!!! Use of socket CPU, desktop memory sticks and desktop GPU doesn't justify what Dell did with the whole PC package. Proprietary MB, PSU, cooling, bling bling and the PC box is just disgusting. And I won't talk about the very limited and fully locked down bios. That has to be for another day.
