Got it installed a couple of days ago. Swapping data between the drives was a breeze thanks to the Akasa PCI card I bought. Swapped the drive letters around in Windows and now I finally have loads of room on my gaming drive. Cheers all.

I'm sold on the Lexar. Watched some video reviews and read a couple of articles and it looks like a great option, so much cheaper compared to other drives.

Cheers for the tip, I'll check the reveiw out.

This will be my new gaming drive so looks like the 850X is the winner. I've checked out the PCI cards, looks like the best solution as the only thing connected to the mobo is a 3090FE. Cheers.

Currently have a pair of 2021 1TB WD Black SN850's acting as boot/OS/misc and gaming drives respectively, in a ROG Strix B550-F. The gaming drive is constantly short on space and so I'm looking to replace it with a 4TB drive. Was looking at the Samsung 990 Pro or SN850X, is there any other drive...

You trying to improve core or memory temps?

Ah yes, indeed I am. Forgot to add those. Removed the 2 supplied fans and replacing them with 4 x Noctua NF-S12B REDUX 1200RPM PWM fans.

Well parts have been arriving today, started a thread in the projects forum to track the build which I'm quite enjoying.

Cheers for the info. I'll be building it in the next couple of days so will test it out and see what the temps are like. Doesn't help it suddenly turned warm!

So after finally picking up a 3090 FE a couple of weeks ago I was able to get my act together and order the rest of the PC. The first parts arrived today and the rest will be arriving tomorrow so I figured I'd post this for posterity. I'm replacing the following: CPU: Intel Devils Canyon...

The person waiting on that Gigabyte Master 3080 must be chomping at the bit and checking their emails religiously.

Will do man. It won't be the most exciting looking build as the only RGB is on the RAM and that was more because it was the best 64GB kit I could get. Went for the non RGB Corsair 150i too. Anyway, parts were ordered Saturday night so it should all turn up tomorrow or Wednesday hopefully!

Nice little video thanks. Useful that you have a 3090 FE in there too as that's what's going in mine. I ended up going with the Noctua fans. Can't wait to build the system this week.

I keep reading about the memory thermal problems, how easy is the pad replacement? Also where did you get your ifixit tool set from? Ordering the rest of my new PC today, very excited.

I swore from launch up until the day I purchased it (last week) I would never buy a 3090 because it was so much money, but my PC build has been on hold for 9 months or so because I wanted to build my system all in one go. So when I saw the 3090 FE drop last week I broke and picked one up. Still...

Thanks, I'll add them to the list. Found the setup guide for the 5000D and it's 2x140mm at the front and 1x120mm at the back so that's my likely setup.

So I'm nearly ready to pull the trigger on my new build and in the process of finalising the last details realised I hadn't considered the fan setup for the new case. There's going to be a Corsair H150i PRO XT going into the top of the case, and I know the 5000D comes with 2 preinstalled fans...

Currently waiting on my 3090 FE to arrive, sometime in the next 2 hours. Hesitant to put it into current PC (replacing my 1080 Ti) as the PSU is 8 years old at this point and I'm not sure where I put all the modular cables... Will be buying the rest of the nw PC next week so will just try to be...

I had an account anyway, but my CC details are stored on my phone (Android Pay) so I was able to fill that part out with a click thankfully. But then I put the wrong security number in and it got declined so I was in a panic trying to re-do the payment. And then I had to auth the payment via my...

I go between Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed, Jayz2Cents, Hardware Cannucks and a couple others. Dual 27" 4K for me (I only use one at a time for gaming though to be fair) at 60Hz, but I don't care so much anymore about more FPS than that. I've got one of the Asus TUF B550 and X570 boards on my...
