Ah, you had to go boutique? Makes sense these days. I never used PNY cards until the 2080ti and the 3090. Haven’t had a problem with either.

And I am afraid to pull the trigger on the 5600x with the pandemic and all. Nice upgrade that is for sure :smiley:

#4

Well that’s weak…no 5950x.

By the way,

Same price as your PSU but this one is platinum and 10W stronk

#8

So you might somehow ask them to be less jerks and add that one instead of the EVGA

#9

EVGA under rates their psus. The 850 can handle 1000w or more. I also have a 10 year waranty on the psu. Also even if it fails, I have a 1600w from an older computer just collecting dust if I need it.

#10

And will you ever get it or will the delivery rescheduled every week again?

#11

According to them, Fri/Sat.

#12

I mean this Friday or Saturday. Not the one in 2041.

#13

Feel free to send some of dat dust to me hehe

#14

They’re building the system now. Shipping on friday.

As far as cpu/gpus go, they encouraged me to contact them whenever I upgrade because they will buy back the cpu/gpu and send me the new one for the difference. Then they send the old one to the manufacturer as an “rma” and they get a new one for free. We both benefit. In the case of the 5950x there’s no additional cost to me for it.

#15

Slight update, buddy called me and said he could save me $500 if I switched to a zotac card. So ship date is monday at the earliest.

#16

It’s probably “fixed” by now with the drivers but wasn’t Zotac one of the worst GPUs from the bunch and TUF being the most stable on tests?

#17

Dunno, I’ll know soon. It’ll be easy to swap if it’s a problem, to these guys swaps = free new product to sell. To me = free fix. This guy makes me laugh though, he’s presumed he can call me “Gordy” in emails lol. I’m allowing it. I can’t quite tell if he’s middle eastern or southeast asian though.

#18

Be lucky he’s not a German. Otherwise it would be something like Günther or godforbid Gerhard.

"Hallo Günther,

would zou like ze Zotak grafikkarte für onlee 500 dollaRs less? "

#19

I know it is not my topic but just a quick question: I found an offer to upgrade my 6600k to the 7700k for just under 120 euros (trading in my old cpu). I am limited by my z170a motherboard so this the max i can go without changing my entire setup. Is it worth it? Open world and modern games are killing my cpu and i hate low fps and stuttering because of it.

#20

What’s the diff in clocks?
