Yes, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I'm not using an Asus motherboard so I don't know what exactly the different LLC settings correspond to and how many levels there are. I thought that the higher numbers are more aggressive than the lower resulting in less vdroop. As long as you're not dropping down to voltage that is making you...

When I went in person to Microcenter on launch day I was told the 13th gen lineup was just on sale for launch day so I guess it was always the plan to charge more. At least it isn't as bad as everywhere else online.

Different motherboards may have it labeled differently but offset would generally refer to adaptive mode. Is that on fixed voltage? I would have expected the more aggressive llc setting to keep the voltage much closer to what you set it to. But in general voltage drop is perfectly normal and...

Yes, you can leave it as it is. Everything already looks good with your setup and you have improved your temperatures. The frequency will still drop in manual mode but the vcore won't adjust other than vdroop. The VID shows what the CPU is requesting but that is overriden by the manual vcore...

Adaptive won't lower your temperature under load but the advantage is that it will run at a lower voltage at idle or whenever your computer isn't at full speed. Adaptive voltage automatically sets a voltage by frequency and offset is an amount you manually specify to alter voltages. So if your...

Yeah. I was getting around 30400 at default clocks. It's paired with GSkill RAM running at 6200mhz, it's a 6400mhz kit but has stability issues running at the xmp default settings so I backed it off a little. And I do think your temperatures are as good as you can get with this processor. I now...

I'll wait until they have an ultrawide with 2160p vertical so I can at least get normal 4k for games that don't work well with the ultrawide format. Also while I have a Samsung OLED tv and occasionally use it for games, I'd like to wait a while longer on others experience with using it as a main...

Nice. It looks like that acoustic noise setting would be for that setting you described so you could turn back on c state if you'd like. The rest is looking good, I would just make sure everything is stable with the lowered voltage in a more robust stress test. Cinebench is great for finding a...

I'm just going to take what you said here and in some of the other threads you made and respond to it all here to try to keep it in one place. That's about on par with what I get from mine at default. Yes, default voltage ran rather high for me as well. I was able to pass a cinebench run...

Got mine and installed it. From the test I did performing 10 minute run in cinebench temperatures were on average 2 degrees cooler after installing the plate. Going to run it again after another day to see if there's any other change after letting the the paste dry, but I'm not expecting any...

I'm using the NH-D15 chromax.black. I've also ordered the thermaltake contact frame to see if that helps at all. For gaming I don't really have concern but I want to test out a modest overclock and any benchmarking or stress testing hits thermal throttling too quickly to be useful.

The curve is something that I don't even think about or notice when using it, and I've never been a fan of curved screens. I avoided them until the G9 which I liked but really didn't get enough use of with the ultrawide format.

Power shouldn't be an issue unless you just want to get ATX 3.0 PSU. I've been testing on Cyberpunk 2077 on a 4090/137000k setup with a 4k 240hz monitor. Whole system draw is averaging between 550-600 watts non-overclocked and with a little undervolting to improve efficiency. CPU temps are in...

Between this and the last gen I've never had any success getting an FE card added and successfully checked out at Best Buy. While I'd prefer an FE I'd rather just go down and grab something from Microcenter than waste an hour refreshing BB constantly in the hopes of seeing that 'Add to Cart'...

What kind of usage are you planning for it? Are you gaming at 4k 120+ ? As much as the power hungriness of these parts have been talked about 1000 watts should be good especially if you're not pushing an oc. I've got 4090 and 13700k too so I'll run some tests on power usage if it'd give you...

There's been no better blessing having a Microcenter nearby. Like you I had a 13900K on preorder but saw Microcenter had everything in stock for much cheaper too. By the time I got there the 13900s were out so I just got a 13700k which is already more than enough anyway. According to the...

Honestly I've never been too certain. I've seen people suggest the quality of power supply can be a factor. I'm using a brand new Thermaltake Toughpower 1200w ATX 3.0 for this though.

Previously having used mostly EVGA from the 30 series back to the 200 series, the coil whine is something I noticed with the ASUS TUF. It's not as bad as some of the worst cards I can recall from 10+ years ago, but it is perceptible.

It's pretty good. I don't have the best room for testing sound and I'm using my phones db monitor, but here's what I got. Baseline in this room is around 43 db. For the test I turned every other fan I could control off or on as low as possible to isolate the gpu fans. Hard to notice anything up...

The ASUS TUF I got came with this screwdriver/"Pillar of Support" combo device which is supposed to help prevent sag. It doesn't actually reach far enough down to the floor of my case though. I am tempted to get something else to mount underneath this thing with how chunky it is.

Thanks, this is a good suggestion. I had been messing around testing things out with Cyberpunk maxed out settings with performance DLSS which in the scene I was in was hitting around 90fps. I'll have to test it out with more variety later. The whine's unnoticeable to me under 50% power. I think...

I have the Asus TUF OC edition. Just curious what others experience has been.

The scanlines at 240hz I wouldn't expect being "fixed" until they release a new monitor. I had been keeping it at 120hz, but with the 4090 I've set it to 240hz to see what games can do. 4k at 240 fps is still not easy to reach in games. Unless you're playing a lot of older competitive based...

For those who've gotten a 4090 what's been your experience with coil whine? It's not horrible but it's more noticeable than any card I've had in a number of generations. Just something unavoidable with the power its pulling?

I don't know, there was someone who left the store empty handed and just said to the rest of the line that there were no more Strix. I would have preferred getting an FE if I was able to do but was happy to get a card.

Got a 4090 from Microcenter on launch day. I arrived at the the store around 8:30 and there were about 40 in front at that point. That store normally opens at 10 but they started letting people in just a couple of minutes before 9. I feel like its cause everyone on line was glued to their phones...

This card never made any sense other than to justify a higher pricing for the real 4080. Well played Nvidia.

There's a part of me that wonders if they priced the 3000 series so low, at least comparatively, at launch because they anticipated raising it down the line and placing all the blame on the supply chain, scalpers, and mining demand while trying to appear the good guy.

The quashed dream of a competitively priced lineup in the wake of the crypto selloff and a glut of unsold stock reminds me of the fabled sub-$500 2080Ti's that would flood the streets back when the 3000 lineup was announced.

First thing I should have done was check [H] about this monitor. I got one at launch and its been an interesting time with it. For some reason my monitor not only had scanlines at 240hz but they showed up at 120hz and even all the way down to 60hz. Samsung accepted a repair claim but after a...

My biggest concern was the comfort level of the stick and button placement. Watching the Linus video it looks to be fine, glad to see it. Hopefully it does indeed feel as good as it looks whenever I can actually get one sometime halfway in next year.

If you don't want to use any of the features of the 3080 and the games you're playing would get some appreciable fps gain while you make a couple hundred bucks, go for it. I would try to get more than 50 to 100 bucks, assuming it's non lhr (and even lhr cards can be used for altcoins) because I...

Those are some impressive deals, nice. I never took the risk of buying on ebay, even though I'm sure it's just fine most of the time. But I do remember back when I bought my first GPU I went with a 8800 GTS 512 for something like $300 because there was no way I was spending double that for a...

A little bit of all of the above gets you a card eventually on a long enough timeline. Without buying from third party scalpers I've managed to buy a 3080, 3090, 3070, and a 3080Ti. It's already late at this point, but tips for next gen release. Assuming the queue system like on EVGA exists...

I don't get this "normal intended usage". The GPU's usage is whatever I, the owner of the card, intend to use it for. If it can draw games faster than any other card, I'll use it for gaming. If it can also mine faster than everything else, I'll also use it for some mining. And if the thing...

Kyle mentioned it earlier and DPI quoted it. If they sell specialized cards for mining they avoid creating a massive glut of used cards available to gamers down the line whenever those cards become unprofitable to the miners. You or I, or many of the people here, may be hesitant to buy a card...

Don't see a way to confirm a card hasn't been used for mining, but if you're using something like ebay which lets you see the person's selling history you may be able to sus out if they are more likely than not mining cards. Someone who has a listing for multiple cards for sale, or has a...

There's a bit of blame to go around for these availability issues. Regarding the retailers, whether they're selling it to the end user, some scalper, or a bot mass ordering product, they get paid either way. I've heard a few stories of anti-bot implementations for stores but nothing...

Actually was this very thread. :p Was reading it the night when the preorder went up and just decided to go for it. Was stuck like many waiting on the Dec 21st estimate until I got the email saying it probably wouldn't arrive until next year. The order from Amazon I got in on Dec 14th. I...
