NVIDIA 4000 Series

All you chaps who already own a 4090 - have you bought a new power cable to mitigate the bend and if so - which ones have you gone for (or are there any out yet?)
I've ordered the 600w corsair cable, waiting on stock to arrive, hopefully should get it by mid November. My adapter that came with my suprim was faulty out the box, as only 3 out of the 4 connecters send power/signal to the gpu, I'm capped at 100% on the power limit slider. Locked at 450w, should be able to go to 108%.

Hoping this cable solves this issue.
 



Nvidia is really having a laugh with these... :cry:
There's so much empty space, you could spill coolant on that and not hit any components :cry:.
 
Demand has just died.

Suspect it’s a combination of very high price, restocks, issues with adaptor and cost of living.
Probably has a lot to do with this too

"On Tuesday, November 08, 2022, the current average rate for the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage is 7.32%, up 15 basis points over the last week."

I know a few people who won't be able to afford their dream house anymore or move out due to this. Doesn't matter if you can afford the deposit, if you can't keep up with the monthly payments.

I cancelled my Tuf order even at the great price I got it from. Reviews saying it had worse coil whine than the FE and Suprim put me off.

Shouldn't be like this ordering a new card, to you know be able to just enjoy quiet scenes in games. Not sure what I'll do tbh.

Crazy we've got such powerful cards with loads of R and D into fan tech and cooling, yet cards "screaming" is accepted as normal.

If you want a card without it then Inno, Zotec and Pallet seem like the best ones. But what's annoying is the Zotec had loud fans, the Pallit has a poor pcb and the Inno isn't very premium for the premium price.

Not hyped about this gen because at least last gen there were high tier cards that performed silently.

If you want a quiet card my Suprim x is virtually silent. I think the reviews have it as the quietest 4090z

I had both Evga 3090 ftw3 and the ROG Strix OC 3090 and both had it to some degree. The Strix was only noticeable at idle though, under load it was fine.

You're lucky I had two Suprim's 4090's that whined, Voodoo Child has had three Suprims, CTaylor has had one.

Last gen the Suprim 3080 was my card of choice, it was amazing. This gen they have changed up the parts, its still brilliant in many areas but trying to play Uncharted with mine wasnt great.

Tempted for one last roll of the dice and then its AMD.

Received a CableMod 3x type 4 cable today. I actually ordered another cable from them as I didn't think this would be long enough as my Tower 900 case. Emailed them asking to return it and they said if I sent them a pic of it cut in half they'd refund me :( What a waste of a cable. I'll put it up in MM so if anyone wants one they can find it there. Its black and white 60cm and plugs into any PSU with type 4 sockets.
