Been praying for you brother!

@electrosoft I knew you were a hardware slut, but I did not have a clue of how dirty, and nasty of one you are! 🤣🤣

Right now I am running 8100mhz with xmp profile on my gskill 2x24gb modules. I haven't tried to tune any timings yet, but I've never been able to use xmp on the X670 board, I had to manually set everything. Found an old image from a few years back Ryzen 3900X and 1080ti.

I skipped some pages, too far behind). Was anyone able to snag a 5090 at msrp? Or did scalpers clean everyone out? I see the egg is out of stock on everything, so I'm assuming the latter is true?

Well, got a new board, gigabyte aorus elite x870E, and no Windows 10 drivers for the realtek wifi module. I absolutely loathe windows 11 nearly as much as I loathed windows 10 from 7. After a few years of hacking, tweaking, and creating a personal theme via windows style builder, I could use windows 10 without constantly having the taste of vomit in my mouth. Now microshaft is pulling the same crap they did in 2015, and it's pathetic. I remember the days when I was running Windows XP Alpha's as daily drivers, because I couldn't wait to try the next gen OS coming from Redmond. Now I do everything I can to stay away from the Filth they release now days. Linux has had decades to put something worthwhile out to compete, but I've yet to find anything worth my time or effort to make the switch completely.....sigh. Hardware addictions aren't nearly as fun as it used to be!

It's stupid and deliberate manipulation. I'm getting fed up with it!

I'm hoping AMD has a higher end card in the waiting, the 9070 does not peak my interest in the slightest. Nor does the 5090 with it's gold plated price tag.

Welcome to the dark side my friend. It's absolutely ridiculous to have to pay that kind of money for a gpu. For that kind of money it should s*** gold bricks, and serve breakfast in bed.

🤷‍♂️

I know this guy will not be spending 2K for a GPU. That is just silly. I will wait for AMD's high end release and enjoy 5080 performance for a fraction of the cost.

Exactly how I've felt about my X670 Carbon. Buggy as he'll, and there is always something wrong. I've never been happy with it.

Bought my tubing on ali-express. Bought some from Home depot, and didn't like the spec stamp.

Well, temps didn't change on my newly delidded 9950X, @Mr. Fox thinks it's because I forgot to purchase liquid metal, and used standard arctic silver 6, as do I. If that doesn't bring the temps down to the same level as Mr. Fox's, I will purchase the same block as him.

Excited to try my newly delidded 9950X, thanks to brother @Mr. Fox. Hoping for some good temps. Thank you my friend @Mr. Fox for helping me out! It will be back home tomorrow 🤙

I learned my lesson on tattoo's after I had 3DFX, and ATI inked on my biceps. 🤣
