It's weird that the PCI 4.0 riser is for the mesh one only. What cooler is that on the CPU?

on release, you could get the 4.0 in all 4 configs. Sold out right away, that's what's left. Since release, I've wanted the black tempered glass panel, but only white is available for months now. Hard to show off LCD CPU cooler thru the mesh.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
3080ti flatlined today. 4 months of casual use, never overclocked, properly cooled, proper PC specs and assembly.
Now to start what is sure to be a joyous RMA process.

Have you been playing new world? It’s been eating a bunch of gpusThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I sure have. It was reported that was fixed before launch. And my temps were always fine, at least when I was checking them.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
This happened while I was playing Halo, another equally unoptimised game.

Damn, thats rough. I know lots of people lost their 3090's to the game, wasn't sure if it affected the 3080ti or if the game was fixed yet. I believe some people would cap their FPS at <100fps so it wouldnt torch their 3090's for future reference.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
That sucks, hopefully it goes better than my friend;took him about three months to get a DOA 3080 replaced.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
FWIW, I haven't really had too many issues with Halo and I'm running on pretty old hardware. Found deleting the hi-res pack helped a ton. I've had way more issues with BF2042 instead.
I finally managed to get a new gpu last week through EVGA. Now I am on the hunt for some DDR5 ram, has anyone seen anything? Memx has none and when I asked when I got my new CPU they didn't really have an idea on when more would be in.
All memory express tells me is to check the website because their inventory is live. Shit is constantly out of stock lol

According to pcpartpicker, looks like nobody has any DDR5 in Canada.
I did see the three they have in stock right when they added then and then have been checking since I started planning my build in the last week or so and nada. Gives time to decide on a motherboard I suppose.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Yeah, I saw that and thought it was pretty wild. Just need like 1x16gb to get my through until lower latency ram is available.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The manager I talked to told me most inventory doesn't get added to the site, part of the "come in person to find out if its in stock" measure they started this year.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Also what brand motherboards are people using these days. I am generally an msi guy but was also looking at the asus boards but I believe the gigabyte are to be avoided due to poor support in Canada?
Asus all the way!!

I've already gotten 32gb of ddr5, but a member on Hardware Canuck's forum PM'd me yesterday and said he had some more available from his shop - IIRC he had 4 kits of 2x8 (16gb) available, and also some 2x16 32gb. Anyhow, not sure if he still has any left, but he seems to get access to it as I'm not the first person on the forum there he's helped in the recent past get some.
Here is his contact info - again, not sure if he still has any, but worth a try, and he may be able to get some more soon as well if he's out.

I have a Asus Tuf 570 plus wifi board and my storage is 2 x 500GB NVMe drives, I find my 2nd drive is mostly stored with tv/movies for plex viewing which is done mostly while Im also playing games, is it better to replace this with a 2TB NVMe drive or just add a SSD for the media? I want to add more games.
Kind of a long shot but part of me wants to swap to a mitx setup as my new desk arrangement is more compact now.
If anyone is interested in a:
ASUS TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING AM4 AMD B450 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GP-P750GM 750 W ATX 12V v2.31 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply
I might be up to sell them fairly cheap to swap out to smaller stuff.
SSD doesn't really benefit plex at all. If its solely just media you could plop a cheap 4-8tb drive in there for cheaper than a ssd. Though it's more bulky drive. A 2tb nvme could be good for a mix of use though. It can easily have games and media on it together and never not keep up.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I was thinking of using a bigger nvme because I dont want the plex media playing affecting my gaming performance, or the wife complaining about lag on the stream.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
