"7800X3D will be an utter failure of a CPU" - Will it thought?

Bumpity bump.

I agree. I have one forsale in the classifieds right now in an Abit IP35 Pro board! I ran this rig up until a few months ago. It was very snappy with 8gig RAM and an SSD.

Not a shocking review. I think we saw this coming.

The difference between the 1,000w Vertex and 1,200w Vertex was $40. For 20 cents per watt, I chose to spend the extra $40.

It's the same old $hit. Does anyone actually read the reviews? These CPU's, the 7950x3D at least, have sold out across the country already the first day. Are there really that many people that wanted this thing or do you think there's scalping going on? Who knows? I guess I better be ready...

I had bought a 7950x from Microcenter last month with some EXPO DDR5, but returned it since it's gaming performance wasn't much better than the 5800x3D or 7700x. I am forcing myself to be patient for the 7800x3D. I am building from scratch and not upgrading, so I would rather stick with AM5...

I will wait for the 7800x3d.

Apparently, this thing is overclockable:

I think I will wait for the 7800X3D and then make my decision on that vs. the 13900k. By then, the 13900k may drop in price a bit more. It's already down to $529. Then it will be a price/speed/power consumption decision. If the 7800X3D "simulated" benchmarks hold true, I think that'll be my...

You build a PC based on what you are going to use it for. What is your definition of "productivity"? My definition of productivity is writing a memo/letter in Word or building the occasional Excel spreadsheet/PowerPoint presentation and browsing websites. To be honest, my old overclocked...

Underwhelming? This is the 5800X3D vs. 13900K (which cost almost twice as much) - arguable Intel's fastest processor right now:

There are several negative reviews on Newegg that specifically talk about coil whine. Maybe it was on some of the earlier made boards. https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145415?Item=N82E16813145415

I am really waiting for benchmarks on the new 3D chips to make my decision. Depending on what they look like, I may go 13900k.

There are complaints of coil whine with this board. I assume noone here has experienced this?

Ok, so using this list; I'd you had $400-500 to spend on a board, which one would you pick?

I ended up with the EVO in black. Can't wait to get started!

Kingston KC3000.

Bump

Bump.

Well it was a brand new EVGA. Those are selling for quite a bit more because EVGA doesn't sell GPU's anymore. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Technology-Backplate-24G-P5-3987-KR/dp/B08J5F3G18

I landed a 4080 FE from Best Buy about a month ago for $1,199. Overpriced? Maybe, but about a week before that I had shelled out $1,700 in desperation for a new EVGA 3090 FTW3 off Amazon. I decided to send that back for a full refund when I got the 4080. It will be plenty fast enough for...

And this card could be all yours for....

Same.

True, just not the typical thrift store deal people think of when they go to goodwill and buy a $100+ Polo sweater for $4.

Upon further inspection, these are actually pressed, brushed aluminum around a plastic frame. Not bad.

Jeez... someone at that store definitely did some research with that one. I am wondering if it was brought there by an employee as an "inside job".

Woo-hoo! Now if only AMD would start shipping their new 3D CPU's I'd be getting somewhere.

Or a weird fishtank with holes in it?

They must have been giving that thing away. I say $35.

I'm about to take a trip to Micro Center today to return the white O11 Evo I bought there last week since I've decided I want to do a black build (white is starting to get a bit too played out IMO). I was just going to exchange the white one for a black one, however, I have been looking at the...

Bump.

I had one of these on mine: https://www.performance-pcs.com/case-parts-mods/bay-hardware/3-1-2-inch-bay-hardware/lian-li-floppy-drive-bezel-silver-f-01a.html Still have it too!

Well I guess this makes the decision to wait for the new AM5 3D CPU's to hit the shelves easier. I have a WiFi 6 mesh system in the house, but most of my rooms are hardwired so I would rather not have issues with a NIC

Monoprice Dark Matter 34"...

Micro Center reviews: https://www.microcenter.com/product/651471/X670E-E_ROG_Strix_Gaming_WiFi_AMD_AM5_ATX_Motherboard They seem recent, however, I can't tell when they actually bought the board or when the board was manufactured so they could very well have purchased a board without the...

Strange because a lot of these reviews are recent.

I picked up an ROG Strix x670e-A last week from Micro Center, but I think I may return it. I haven't opened it yet. I have been reading more and more reviews complaining about the Intel NIC. I don't plan on using the WiFi and need a reliable NIC.

I got the only TT 1000w GF3 the other day from Micro Center for my upcoming build, but also have a 1,200w Vertex on order from the Egg. I think I will return the TT to Micro Center next week. I read through a review on the GF3 and although the review wasn't bad, it wasn't spectacular either...

Do it.... LOL
