They remember a time when a certain tier of products were sold at another (in this case, lower) price point. Some however, believe they are entitled to the products at the old price point. Look no further than the poetic waxings on how the vendors/manufacturers are all immoral for changing the price against their favor.

Oil is fine just wipe it off. Make sure it is fully dry before you turn it on

5080 will not be $799. Those ships sailed long ago. You're only upgrade path for south of $799 will likely be the "5070". I don't know why people are so optimistic that prices will go down next gen

Why are you fed up? My Iphone 15 pro is a dream

10 series does not support DSC.

alright thanks for the answer. not that big of a deal just another reason to upgrade gpu later.

i just got my AW2725DF last night coming from a old Asus MG279Q and just returning a cooler master tempest gp27q and keeping my asus to go along with the AW and so far it's been great for FPS games and watching media imo 4k still just isn't worth it yet because nothing pushing it to 200+ fps on most new titles so i still feel 27in 1440p monitor are still the best spot right now. so you will be blew away either way with oled coming from 1080p to. i will say go in and turn brightness up to 100% and contrast to 75% and it looks great imo.

i agree with most but the price thing i believe is here to stay, mainly because all tiers have gone up in price in electronic world
also everything has gone up way too far in price as is

I had this same issue. You have to go into the game settings on the Epic client and make sure you check "Download streamed assets" or something like that. That is the issue.

I have the 1000w shift, no issues whatsoever it's a great unit

If you're primarily gaming you are going to want an x3d chip. There is nothing close from team blue ATM. 

I’m currently debating to get either the 13600K or 13700K for this build https://pcpartpicker.com/user/FilmingWanderer/saved/t4sH3C
 
To get it out of the way, I’m not considering AMD.
 
I’m going to use this build primarily for gaming and streaming at 1080p, maybe also some light video editing. I haven’t tried overclocking before, but I plan to, hence the K variants. I’ve seen a few people say the 13600K is fine, while other people have said that the extra P-cores on the 13700K are worth it for longevity. I’m also curious if I should get the KF variant of either instead, since I’ll be using NVENC to stream.
 
Thanks for taking the time to read and answer!
 

Not to be that guy.... But why not AMD? I cannot think of one single reason to get the 13700k over the 7800x3d

This is garbage advise. Zen 2 is slow as dirt compared to zen 3 and not even much cheaper. 
 
OP, DO NOT get a 3700x.
 
Get a 5600 for $129 and be done
 
That MOBO/GPU of yours isn't really 5800x3d worthy imo, the extra would be better spent just getting a better gpu
 
Just grab the 5600 for $129 and be done

Phanteks is where it is at nowadays. The G500a or NV5 is what I would personally suggest

All of Linus's responses just read like corporate gibber jabber. He hasn't taken any sort of responsibility or accountability. Sad.

There won't be a big WAN Show segment about this or anything. Most of what I have to say, I've already said, and I've done so privately.

To Steve, I expressed my disappointment that he didn't go through proper journalistic practices in creating this piece. He has my email and number (along with numerous other members of our team) and could have asked me for context that may have proven to be valuable (like the fact that we didn't 'sell' the monoblock, but rather auctioned it for charity due to a miscommunication... AND the fact that while we haven't sent payment yet, we have already agreed to compensate Billet Labs for the cost of their prototype). There are other issues, but I've told him that I won't be drawn into a public sniping match over this and that I'll be continuing to move forward in good faith as part of 'Team Media'. When/if he's ready to do so again I'll be ready.

To my team (and my CEO's team, but realistically I was at the helm for all of these errors, so I need to own it), I stressed the importance of diligence in our work because there are so many eyes on us. We are going through some growing pains - we've been very public about them in the interest of transparency - and it's clear we have some work to do on internal processes and communication. We have already been doing a lot of work internally to clean up our processes, but these things take time. Rome wasn't built in a day, but that's no excuse for sloppiness.

Now, for my community, all I can say is the same things I always say. We know that we're not perfect. We wear our imperfection on our sleeves in the interest of ensuring that we stay accountable to you. But it's sad and unfortunate when this transparency gets warped into a bad thing. The Labs team is hard at work hard creating processes and tools to generate data that will benefit all consumers - a work in progress that is very much not done and that we've communicated needs to be treated as such. Do we have notes under some videos? Yes. Is it because we are striving for transparency/improvement? Yeah... What we're doing hasn't been in many years, if ever.. and we would make a much larger correction if the circumstances merited it. Listing the wrong amount of cache on a table for a CPU review is sloppy, but given that our conclusions are drawn based on our testing, not the spec sheet, it doesn't materially change the recommendation. That doesn't mean these things don't matter. We've set KPIs for our writing/labs team around accuracy, and we are continually installing new checks and balances to ensure that things continue to get better. If you haven't seen the improvement, frankly I wonder if you're really looking for it... The thoroughness that we managed on our last handful of GPU videos is getting really incredible given the limited time we have for these embargoes. I'm REALLY excited about what the future will hold.
 
With all of that said, I still disagree that the Billet Labs video (not the situation with the return, which I've already addressed above) is an 'accuracy' issue. It's more like I just read the room wrong. We COULD have re-tested it with perfect accuracy, but to do so PROPERLY - accounting for which cases it could be installed in (none) and which radiators it would be plumbed with (again... mystery) would have been impossible... and also didn't affect the conclusion of the video... OR SO I THOUGHT...
 
I wanted to evaluate it as a product, and as a product, IF it could manage to compete with the temperatures of the highest end blocks on the planet, it still wouldn't make sense to buy... so from my point of view, re-testing it and finding out that yes, it did in fact run cooler made no difference to the conclusion, so it didn't really make a difference.
 
Adam and I were talking about this today. He advocated for re-testing it regardless of how non-viable it was as a product at the time and I think he expressed really well today why it mattered. It was like making a video about a supercar. It doesn't mater if no one watching will buy it. They just wanna see it rip.  I missed that, but it wasn't because I didn't care about the consumer.. it was because I was so focused on how this product impacted a potential buyer. Either way, clearly my bad, but my intention was never to harm Billet Labs. I specifically called out their incredible machining skills because I wanted to see them create something with a viable market for it and was hoping others would appreciate the fineness of the craftsmanship even if the product was impractical. I still hope they move forward building something else because they obviously have talent and I've watched countless niche water cooling vendors come and go. It's an astonishingly unforgiving market.
 
Either way, I'm sorry I got the community's priorities mixed-up on this one, and that we didn't show the Billet in the best light. Our intention wasn't to hurt anyone. We wanted no one to buy it (because it's an egregious waste of money no matter what temps it runs at) and we wanted Billet to make something marketable (so they can, y'know, eat).
 
With all of this in mind, it saddens me how quickly the pitchforks were raised over this. It also comes across a touch hypocritical when some basic due diligence could have helped clarify much of it. I have a LONG history of meeting issues head on and I've never been afraid to answer questions, which lands me in hot water regularly, but helps keep me in tune with my peers and with the community. The only reason I can think of not to ask me is because my honest response might be inconvenient. 
 
We can test that... with this post. Will the "It was a mistake (a bad one, but a mistake) and they're taking care of it" reality manage to have the same reach? Let's see if anyone actually wants to know what happened. I hope so, but it's been disheartening seeing how many people were willing to jump on us here. Believe it or not, I'm a real person and so is the rest of my team. We are trying our best, and if what we were doing was easy, everyone would do it. Today sucks.
 
Thanks for reading this.

This just needs to be standardized 

With $750 you can get a 5800X3D and a 6750XT, which will max out 1080p
But your monitor looks pretty bad, you should upgrade it as well
