    (Rumor) RTX 3080 ti releasing between February 11th.and 17th

    A 3080ti is something that I'm interested in. I can't justify a 3090 but a 3080ti will hopefully give me that 4K 60fps min that I'm looking for.

    AM4 CPU for media server & 4K cameras?

    I did check the direct to disk box but will certainly take a look at the link you attached. I've gathered a lot of good info from IPCamTalk so far. This dudes videos on Blue Iris have been pretty helpful as well.

    AM4 CPU for media server & 4K cameras?

    Well after some additional research it appears that Intel is the way to go, primarily for Quick Sync. A i7-9700K and MSI Z390-A Pro board are about $420 so not terribly more than I was considering spending on a possible 5600X.

    AM4 CPU for media server & 4K cameras?

    $300 ish, I'm toying with trying to get a 5600X but am afraid I'd be waiting another 5 months, lol. I am willing to go over $300 though I guess as I'm really not sure what price range I should be looking at.

    AM4 CPU for media server & 4K cameras?

    I ordered a 3300X over 5 months ago and am giving up. I've got a B450 Tomahawk Max, 16GB 3600 ram, GT710 and 500GB 970 evo all unopened waiting for a cpu. I've currently got a i3-2105 that desperately needs to be replaced. I upgraded the case, psu and storage drives (4) 8tb Ironwolfs last year...

    HardOCP has always been AMD [H]aters

    My first purchased CPU for a custom build was an AMD Athlon XP 2800+ that had great reviews from HardOCP. The next AMD chip I bought was the Athlon 64 X2-4200, also a well reviewed CPU from HardOCP. Every CPU that I have bought, minus the 3900X, was purchased after looking at HardOCP's reviews...

    Your statement appears to be true :p. Approaching 5 months since I placed my 3300X order... At this point I'm considering cancelling and trying for a Zen3 chip, now that B450 boards will work with them.

    EVGA Announces their Ampere cards

    Evga has been my go to gpu brand for a number of years now. That being said I'm not a big fan of the looks of the coolers on the ftw3 cards, the offset middle fan messes with me.

    when is 4700g actually going to retail?

    I've got the 3300X on order for a file/media server so no real heavy lifting. I wouldn't mind not having to worry about a gpu. I did pick up a GT 710 so it doesn't really matter at this point I guess.

    when is 4700g actually going to retail?

    I'd be happy with a 4300G, I might be able to get it before the 3300X I ordered in mid May.

    Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic modifications.

    That's funny, I almost mentioned looking for right angle 8pin adapters but hadn't done any research, there they are!

    Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic modifications.

    Sorry man, I was hoping it'd work as well. With the (2) 8pin cables attached to the card (not using the Powerlink) I could close the side panel and honestly it'd probably be fine but I didn't want to want to put any stress on the slot if I didn't absolutely have to.

    Can you post a pic of the top of that bracket where it attaches to the case?

    Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic modifications.

    Well I guess we figured out why the case is different, lol. Don't be distressed though the XL is a great case, just has more room. In regards to the PSU, the vertical panel in front of the PSU should be able to be unscrewed and removed.

    I'll do what I can but I had no issues at all installing mine :confused: Here are a couple pics of mine and a youtube vid showing exactly how I installed my psu. This part I don't get, are you talking about the top panel of the case?

    New four bangers unavailable?

    I hear you, I'll be using it to run a file/media server so all it really has to do is be on which is why I was looking at low cost solutions. Honestly the 4300G is much more appealing to me right now as I wouldn't need a gpu and would still get 7nm. Seriously though at the rate I'm going the...

    I wish I had a MC near me, Best Buy is the closest that I've got within 100 miles. I snagged a B450 Tomahawk Max, 16GB 3600 and a GT 710 when I placed the order for the 3300X (5/18). I had considered going 3400G initially but the 3300X info was out when I was looking to upgrade so for an extra...

    If I can find a 3600 for $140 I'll be cancelling my 3300X. The 3600 is down to $160 now and I've got a couple price trackers going. I don't need a 3600 and it'd be a waste but it'd be a fun chip to have. I'd take a 4300G or 4300GE as well if they were available.

    Someday I'll get my 3300X... Ordered on 5/18 from B&H, initial ship date was 6/4, then 6/8, then 6/16, then 6/24, then 7/16, then... no date is showing now. Someday, probably a week before Ryzen 3 launches. Amazon has it in stock for $225, lol.

    Lian Li 011 Dynamic Razer Edition case fan attachment

    Yeah, it's got the most recent bios, I guess it could be the riser cable? As long as it doesn't start happening weekly or daily I'll probably just leave it be. Looks good to me 👍

    Lian Li 011 Dynamic Razer Edition case fan attachment

    If you're talking sagging its perfectly level as far as I can tell and the 1080ti FTW3 is a hefty card. As far as room behind the card? There isn't much, I can try to get a measurement for you if you'd like. The only thing that I'd mention is that I do get occasional "hiccups" in the form of...

    Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic modifications.

    Hey, I was wrong, while the feet do come off easily that will fundamentally alter how the side panels stay in place. I stand corrected, I took my case out for some spring cleaning and took a closer look. You are 100% correct that the panels are held in place at the bottom by metal tabs that...

    Ha, one there and another on the other side. That's the right side of the case if looking at the power button. I need to give it a clean apparently!

    Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic modifications.

    Absolutely, not sure why you'd want to but there are 2 screws per foot section in the front and 2 in the back. Your case would be sitting flat on whatever surface you'd have it on and eliminate any airflow from underneath of course. There are some rivets and whatnot on the bottom so you'd...

    CPU for a home server?

    Funny timing, I'm in a similar situation. I've got a Supermicro X8SI6-F-O, i3-2105 and 8gb ecc ddr3 that doesn't always like to shutdown. It's been on pretty much 24/7/365 for just over 9 years so I can't complain really. Long story short I'd rather have 6 cores with 12 threads on the 1600AF vs...

    3600x 3700x , 3800x vs 9900K for gaming

    What cpu you buy is based on your budget and needs. If you are playing at 1440p and have a 2080 and are looking for a boost over your 4770K then a 3600 would fit the bill just fine. Is a 3600 as "future proof" as a 3800X? Maybe? We don't know. Above 1080p your gpu becomes the workhorse of your...

    Upgrade CPU or GPU? ([email protected]/GTX 780)

    GPU, 100%. I had a 2600K until recently and it was chugging along fine with a 1080ti. I probably wouldn't go beyond a 1080ti so if you are looking at a 1070 it'd would be a solid upgrade.

    Cases with Horizontal Motherboard Orientation

    There aren't that many unfortunately, like mentioned above Silverstone is probably going to have the most options. I did to the Air 540 what Snowdog mentioned with the Air 240 and was happy with it. The Cooler Master HAF-XB Evo also mentioned above is another good option.

    Lian Li 011 Dynamic Razer Edition case fan attachment

    I ended up going Phanteks. I'm pretty happy with it in the end. I've considered trimming the side of the bottom of the rise bracket but haven't yet. I'll probably leave it as is but like you said the bracket is noticeable.

    Not a problem! I used a 40CM cable, this one from ebay. The cable is in the bottom pci slot on the board, passes to the back of the case through the lowest pass through at the back of the case. It curves up and goes between the PSU and the motherboard mount and then curves back over the PSU and...
