You are correct in the XL being considerably larger than the standard O11D. It can be tricky to squeeze 2x360 rads and have a vertical gpu in the O11D, can be done but it is not straightforward. Have a look through the case gallery and see what others have achieved. I personally like distro...

I agree, the FX series was a disaster and it was Nvs fault for going with FP32. The great conspiracy of agreeing the DX9 standard and Nvidia deciding not to stick to it worked out great for them and the 9600pro and 9800pro were probably ATi's best cards ever. I dumped my FX card and got a 6800...

I can hear the outrage from the 1080/1080ti owners about how Bethesda and AMD have denied them the right to use DLSS and are forcing them to use FSR. It is outrageous that a game has been released with an upscaling method included that they can actually use, OUTRAGEOUS!!

Not exactly a science when predicting future proofability (its a word , check the dictionary) of a card but the 6800xt is a good card and has a decent sized frame buffer. It will not become unworkable overnight and it does run UE5 Fortnight quite well with software RT. As long as you have...

Wait for the reviews for 7800xt/7700xt and see how it compares to the 6800/6800xt/3070/3070ti/4060ti in the games you play. Your system is fine but 2x16gb of ram will help and once you have that use all your budget on the most cost effective gpu you can get. If you can get a 7800xt with a free...

The ram modules will be standard size but no idea about the other sizes you will need so I suggest you buy some pads that you can cut to the correct size. I know it is a pain but I did it when I put my waterblock on. I know this is for the XTX but I think the XT version will use the same...

See the post above by Trypta about Nvidia driver overhead. Unless you have the very very best cpu available then the 4090 is not always the best choice. I do not fully understand it but in a lot of titles AMD do better than Nvidia when paired with a with slower cpu. If you are still rocking the...

Are MSI actually making a profit when they sell a 4000 series card ? Do they care if they sell any at all ? EVGA gave Nv the middle finger and left the market and if a manufacturer cannot make a profit on a product then why bother to make them. Also regional variations come into play. MSi could...

You expect Grim5 to be 100% truthful in a gpu debate. It was of course too much effort to check the website he is actually on to get his facts straight. The truth is that the 6800xt has been available and in stock in the UK and US for most of the past year, how long this stock lasts I do not know.

No problems for me with Vulkan. Updated to latest drivers before I started and been completely trouble free. I cannot remember playing an AAA title so close to release and having no issues whatsoever. One other good thing I have noticed is I limited my fps to 60 and my loop has gone from 42C to...

i7 8700k is socket 1151 so any cooler with that mounting kit is compatable.

It looks fine and will still work perfectly OK. If you do want to replace it for aestetic reasons then almost any cooler will be ok as long as it comes with the correct mounting kit. If you look at the below cooler then it comes with almost everything you can imagine , iirc the 8700k was 1150 ...

I am sure the build will go well. Once you power on for the first time go make some soup or something and let the memory training do its thing. You have to get the specific chipset drivers for the X3D chip and yes make sure those are installed first

Noise is a subjective term and some people will be bothered by it and some not. If , like others have mentioned , you have ever heard the old style blower cards then any modern card with a huge heatsink and much larger fans will sound almost silent in comparison. I have a full custom loop and...

This was a flat out lie by AMD. The energy efficiency of RDNA2 and RDNA3 is almost the same and when you have moved to a better node that is not good engineering. They have always had issues with energy efficiency with Nv having a clear lead in this area for most of the past decade but I hoped...

The problem is the name. Nv gave this card a 60 moniker when it does not have the bus width that previous 60 cards had and therefore it performs more like an update to the 3050. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3060-12-gb.c3682...

I watched that video and there is performance to be had at huge power consumption. Intel need 250W to match AMD at 100W with their cpus but no one seems to care. People just accept that type of power usage even if you can get very similar results at far less Wattage. Double standards are...

They re usde the 4090 coolers for most of the 4080s. Total overkill but not a problem as long as your case can handle it. Said it before and will say it again. The 4080 is a great product at a terrible price. Great performance at decent power used but the price just sucks and is the reason it...

If the card has a decent backplate then it will act as a heatsink and there should be no issues. Lots of cards have had memory modules on the back of the PCB and passively cooled by the backplate with no issues , the 6800 and 6900 cards from AMD are an example of this. If it is not done...

That is not normal at all. Have you overclocked either of the cards at all ? They are quite tricky to get a stable OC and if you do not do it right then you will experience exactly what you are seeing. Oh one more thing that may be the issue. You say you updated the chipset drivers , did it...
