not true an excellent example is earlier adopters of AM4 - who are now enjoying the 5800x3d 6 years later

Hmm dead socket I would go AM5 if building now, you’ll have easy slot in upgrades with half the power usage

as someone in a unique position - I Can confirm the 7950x3d sometimes holds back the 4090 @ 8k in cs2 [certain maps]low - so yes the CPU does bottleneck isn't always true be it only 5-10%

At Intel, someone utilized CHATGPT to design the new CPUs. It seems the AI misunderstood the term "Increased Power and Performance" and cranked up the power dial to over 9000. - This sentence was written in chatgpt

what games do you play and res? also the 7950x3d will still bottleneck the 4090 ( res and game dependant ofc ) - might be worth getting a 7800x3d and getting the 8800x3d

have you considered AMD?

No problem! - Looking forward to it haha - so tempted to delid....

7600 then upgrade when cheaper or new chips

lol this uses more power when idle. as above just use the Turbo and it'll idle low as heck when not in use

TLDR makes ure you go AMD either 5800x3d or 7000 - you can always slot in a nice cpu down the line ! plus they use half the power of intel and don't require Niagara falls to cool

been ok for me - i love the monitor it's end game kit for me - in terms of the QC it does have the natural occuring poping as the screen expands due to heat - which disappears after 10 minutes

would you be willing to wait a bit - expecting price drops - have seen the 7900xtx in the wild for a good chunk less than launch - i expect the rest of the pack to steadily head south

i've seen 7900xt for not much more at all - get the newer tech

thanks yeah i'll increase the speed of the exhausts, this thread has given be dark thoughts of even direct die xD

all good - i love the pics - All about the performance ! this is OCUK afterall! So i have TG kryonaut extreme and the arctic freezer ii 420m with stock fans - I do have a 7000x with 6 intake and the arctic is top mounted as exhaust with a further single fan 140mm extracting - if 2 of my cores...

Watching this, have exact same set up buty CPU maxes at 82c so not sure if this is beneficial

7800xt no brainer, especially with VRAM coming in to play, a new card with warranty, + driver improvements? Can be had for less than 500.

had a 4090 here - 0 issues.

i would have thought gigabyte do direct RMA's

many thanks =)
