I managed to nab an RTX 4070 TI Ventus OC for $365.96 at Microcenter. Clearance markdown + openbox. 3 weeks ago I managed to get an Open Box Strix B650-A for $91. Start looking guys because the open box stuff is selling cheap because its sitting now. I did pair this setup with the 7900X3D and I...
Haven't used Chrome in years. I started using Brave the past few months and like how it doesn't use nearly the amount of resources Edge does. Google can kick rocks.
The old designs had terrible thermals and extremely loud 'revving" fans at idle. I can see why they did.
BTW Sparkle is just rebranded PowerColor for Intel.
I have an Armor 850w White I got from Amazon for $85. Had way better acoustics and voltage regulation than my RM850X. I cannot identify the OEM but it surely has all Nippon Chemicon Caps. The build design points to the Black Diamond KTX which appears to have good reviews.
This right here. That drive is getting all the excess heat from the CPU right above it. It will be running over 60c at all times even with a heatsink. It needs moved to a cooler location.
ROG Ally Z1 Extreme -
Bought this open box in December at Best Buy. Unit is in mint condition. I replaced the Micron 512gb drive with a 1TB Drive due to the 512gb having SMART issues shortly after purchase. I no longer have the original drive. This comes with the clear case grip, Original box...
Ryzen 9 7900 12 Core CPU - 65w TDP Version - $250 shipped
Comes with Wraith Prism and full retail packaging will provide receipt. Great CPU and only minimally different than the 7900x but way cooler than the X version. If you enable PBO and power limits it will act like a 7900x.
SOLD...
Long time in the making. Hence why the overpriced gaming X trio classic was a dud. Nobody wanted it unless it was given away. AMD is putting more emphasis on their premier partners such as Asrock, Powercolor, XFX and Sapphire. Gigabyte and Asus will follow the same path as MSI. Notice no strix...
Put a memory OC on that GRE to 2500mhz. Watch that thing become a raster monster. So far on two games I have saw a 20fps increase - RDR2 and Alan Wake 2 at 4k.
850w power supplies can be found for under $100. I would not use a 550w. 750w would work just fine as well. I would go with more than you need just in case you would like to upgrade your CPU in the future. The cost from a 650w to an 850w is pretty small...
I have the Thermalright Frozen Magic 360mm and I can honestly say its one of the quietest AIOs I have ever used. Keeps my 7800X3D in check and I was able to dial the pump down 1000rpm to make it completely silent. For $48.00, the price/performance is off the charts. I did not use the...
Like new, no noticeable coil whine, runs great, Mint condition and comes with Microcenter receipt. Need to pay taxes and have to cough up 2500 and don't feel like dipping in my savings.
Complete with box, adapter and GPU support. Nice smaller 4080 super with reasonable temps too!
$920 shipped...
If they don't sell they will repackage them as 7600x3d soon enough for the chips that haven't been packaged yet. I am surprised it hasn't been done already.
760T were actually great cases. I owned one and loved it. I think I scratched the acrylic clear panel up so bad it started driving my OCD insane which is why I dumped it. Bump for you!
A basic reflow would be to add flux around the edges of the die and use an air soldering station but the chances are extremely slim of fixing. You will ultimately have to pull the die and reball. I am willing to bet it might have ripped solder pads under the core. MSI and Asus seem to be...
Includes box and all accessories, dust free and 1.5 months old. No noticeable coil whine. Works great. MINT condition like new.
Heatware under SLK
Paypal F&F or mail a check. Thanks! SOLD
Both are good choices regardless. The 7900XTX is a good buy at its current price especially when 4080S are kind of constrained and priced a little higher due to supply/demand. Good choice. Enjoy!
