I mean, technically I own one. :D I was able to snag a 4080 Super FE from Best Buy for store pickup this weekend. I'm currently using a 3080Ti that has been excellent, so I'm still unsure if I'll keep the 4080 or not. The FE is one sexy card.

I'm waiting for the 50XX series. Less than one year away now.

I have a few Xbox digital gift cards for sale or trade. Looking for 85% in PayPal G&S or Amazon GCs :) (2) $50 XBox gift cards (2) $10 Xbox gift cards SOLD https://www.heatware.com/u/78532/to

Hopefully the V2's have less burn-in issues too. It seems to happen around the 3000 hour mark.

I couldn't resist! I picked up a 7800X3D for $350 using only gift cards. :cool: I'm sure it will drop a bit more, but this seems like a great deal compared to the launch price.

It's crazy! So many updates. Gigabyte just removed the latest BIOS for the Aorus Master, F10C. Ugh. :rolleyes:

I guess the 13700K, but I hate the thought of that much heat and power usage.

Tomorrow is the last day for me to decide whether to keep or return my 7800X3D, and honestly I don't know. If it's a simple AGESA and BiOS fix that would certainly be great. With such small amounts of overvoltage causing these extreme problems, you do have to wonder what the safe amounts...

Man, I haven't opened my 7800X3D yet and I may end up just sending it back. Some users are having it die on first boot without even turning EXPO on. This has got to be a hardware defect on some 7000 series chips.

My 7800X3D is arriving tomorrow and I still have no idea which motherboard I'm going with. :D The Aorus Master is my top choice, but damn is that thing expensive.

Got my order in directly from AMD at 9am. My last AMD chip was the Athlon 1800+, so I'm excited to finally go back to team red! I'll be pairing it with a 3080Ti for now which should be a nice combo.

I was just thinking about this. Unless you're really into this hobby, these product names are just gibberish and now they all look almost identical. Why make it so confusing, AMD? o_O

Didn't someone get DLSS3 to run on Ampere? We'll never get it officially of course.

The pricing is complete insanity at every tier, but especially so at this level! I remember thinking about buying a 1070Ti at $400 and scoffing at how expensive it was. We were all so innocent then! :LOL: Now look where we are.

Hell no, not buying. I will grab a 4080 at $799 though. I'll wait. :cool:

I added the 4080 FE to my BB cart just because. :p I'll wait for it to hit $799 where it belongs.

I'm waiting to see what AMD announces at CES. The 7800X3D is what I'm after.

I keep looking for deals on X670E boards, but all I see are price increases and out of stock notices. I can buy a 7900X for way less than the board I wanted with it... if it were in stock. 🙄

No. I'm staying home where I can snuggle with my 3080Ti 😆

3080Ti paired with an Intel 2600K 😆

Is it brand new? Just make sure to verify that it is indeed a 3070 with GPU-Z, and run some benchmarks. I've seen an uptick in scammers trying all sorts of things.

I'm curious about the kind of temperatures you see with the Noctua. I have a D15 and I'd like a 13700K but seeing that it is basically a 12900K, I'm a bit worried.

Gaming, Photoshop, and web browser for the most part. Some CAD and video editing too.

I really wanted a 13700K, but I'll be using a Noctua D15 and the temps and power usage are concerning.

Still in stock MSI 4090 Gaming Trio 24G

I paid $64 for the 10-year warranty on my 3080Ti before the price changes, so I'd rather keep it IF it means something. There doesn't seem to be clear communication from EVGA if there is an option to keep the extended warranty and if they plan on supporting it. If their plan is to only support...

$500 for the Aorus Master?! o_O These AM5 motherboard prices are outrageous! I think I'll be going with the 13700K and a Z690 board at this point.

I'm not impressed with Zen 4. Way too much heat for those of us that prefer air cooling, and the performance just isn't there.

Any word on extended warranties? I have read conflicting stories from people that have contacted customer support, with some being told to ask for refunds because EVGA has no intention to offer support beyond the standard 3 year warranty.

I purchased the 10-year warranty for my 3080Ti... so this news is a bit concerning! 😆

I'm excited for Zen 4, but buying anything above $400 without 3D cache is pointless. Why would any enthusiast do that?

Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR4 Kit (4x8GB) 3600Mhz CL16. CMK32GX4M4D3600C16 I purchased this kit for a new build that never happened. :rolleyes: Brand new and still sealed from Corsair. Color is Black. Asking $125 shipped. Sold Heatware

I'm going Z690 DDR5 with a 12700K since I already have one. Hoping the 13700K is a decent upgrade.

It seems like there is definitely some luck involved as to whether you get a good panel or not. I've also seen reports of monitors developing scanlines later on, but who knows. Sadly the scaling trick didn't work for me. I also tried changing to 144Hz and 120Hz, changing the black equalizer...

I know I couldn't. The screen tearing was horrendous!!! I suppose if one were to sit far enough away, the scanlines may never be an issue. For me though I'm within arms length and it was just too much. Just imagine every other line of pixels being about 20% darker. It's completely unacceptable...

I decided to order the 27" G7 from Amazon after returning several other models and fully expected to hate the curve, but I actually like it. What I don't l like though are the obvious scanlines. It looks similar to interlacing, at least to me, and happens mostly on certain oranges and blues...

Any recommendations as to which type or brand of washers to use?

I thought they were normal stuck subpixels too at first, but they're so small. o_O I guess I'll just return it to Best Buy, but it is a shame since it was on a decent sale.

I'm so tempted to order this monitor after trying several IPS models that absolutely suck. Hmm...

I recently bought a Dell S2721DGF from Best Buy and along with some atrocious backlight bleed, there were what looked like 7 or so stuck green subpixels when viewing darker content. After zooming in with my camera it seems like the tiny dots are about 1/3 the size of the subpixels themselves...
