Easily. It has nothing to do with the games beyond them being demanding enough to cause the GPU to draw a ton of power super quick. Many PSU's can't handle that near instant ramp up and their overcurrent protection kicks in shutting the unit down.

Power issue? My 7900xt immediately hits 350+ watts, just from the login screen.

I've never cared for the whole standing desk thing, but honestly I probably should get one that allows me to do that. I'm simply on computers far more than is remotely healthy. I work out and what not but I don't really do enough walking or cardio.

Agreed. The differences between the K and KS models has never been "worth it" from any type of value perspective. This is Intel essentially doing what Silicon Lottery used to do by binning chips for the buyers. You would pay a premium for a CPU...

A friend of mine picked up an Aeron from Good Will for $20. It shows light wear on the arm rests but otherwise is in great shape.

Irrelevant. Citation needed. As for the comments about cost, I get that but again halo products are almost never cost effective or a "good value."

GPU and CPU prices have never been indicative of one another. You are comparing Apples and VW Jetta's. The fact is, this is a premium part priced accordingly. Value is not really something that factors into parts like this a whole lot. The people...

That's cheap for a high end processor. Intel and AMD's mainstream segment processors used to be $1,000.

It's doubtful. Not many people have had a chance to get their hands on one yet. Usually in a review, you don't have enough time prior to the embargo date being lifted to test every possible scenario. Undervolting being one of them you typically...

I actually had a Cirrus Logic 2MB VGA adapter back then. I also had an ATi 512k adapter at one point and a TSeng Labs ET4000. I recall my pre-GPU cards as well. :)

My list of previously owned GPU's would go back to the dawn of the GPU itself and pretty much encompasses almost every generation of NVIDIA card (usually in pairs for SLI) and has a few ATi and AMD cards sprinkled in for variety. That list is in...

I've been considering this after watching a video about it. I like the simple clean and industrial look.

think of what your problem is, type it into google. your google-fu is lacking....
