I'm not so sure about that. As far as I know the shortage issue hasn't been resolved. We saw a big price drop about 2 weeks ago but the downward trend seems to be stagnating to me and I don't know how permanent the price drop is gonig to be. If you have more insight on what leads you to believe we can expect even more price drops in the near future I'd love to hear it.

Here in Switzerland 3070s are going for about 1100USD and 3080s for about 1700USD if you buy them from second hand sites or about 2100USD for new ones from retailers. But for some reson a lot of retailers are selling 3070Tis for 950-1050USD. Still quite a bit above MSRP but compared to the last couple of months it looks like an awesome deal and I must admit, I'm very temted to buy one. I'm kinda worried that the supply is gonna dry up again since all the other cards are still mostly out of stock and super overpriced. Should I hold out or go for it?

If your budget is this tight you might want to get a cheaper case. Depending on the risk you want to take you could also look into buying some of your components used. I've always had good experiences buying used but theres always a risk. Also if you can wait a bit to build you probably should. GPU prices seem to be becomming more normal again.

I bought a RM750x about 3 years ago, now I'd like to get white cables for it. It seems from what I've read that the RM750x is compatible with Corsairs Type 4 cables but since my PSU is a couple of years old I thought I'd double check. Do you guys think my RM750x will work fine with the Type 4 cables?

A friend of mine was trying to fix an issue with their PC not going to sleep. Following the advice from a YT video they dissabled the 'allow to wake up PC' on EVERYTHING in device manager. They restarted their PC to apply the settings and when it turned back on it got stuck on the 'windows is starting, please don't turn off'-screen. My friend has some important data on the C-drive. What could be done to fix this and if there is no quick way to fix the Windows thing what would be the quickest way to get to the data on that drive? I'm worried, that if I just put it in my computer I could get the same issue.

So I'm buying a new TV and I want it to work with my N64, GameCube and Wii. So it needs to take Composite. The model I'm looking at has some kind of AV-port (I think its a 3.5mm AV but i'm not sure. Here's a picture. I'd be really happy if someone could confirm). Could I just hook up my consoles with an adapter like this?

I've been looking for a new TV for a while now and after the video on the TCL 65S425 I was pretty convinced it (or rather it's 55 inch brother) was almost perfect for me. But as it turns out nobody is shiping it to my country. Here's what I'm looking for: - 50 to 65 inch screen - 4K for next gen consoles (I wouldn't be watching many movies on it or anything like that) - composite port for my Wii, Game Cube and N64 - low latency - 120Hz prefered but optional - sub 600SFr (660$) I think that the TCL 55EP640 would check most of these boxes for 400SFr (440$) but I can't find any reviews, data on latency or even image quality. The Amazon reviews are almost as good as the ones for the 65S425 but there are quite a few negative ones. If any of you guys have experience with or know more about the 55EP640 or if you know of a better option I'd be very thankfull for your advice!

My manual just said 1A rating for fan headers and I read somewhere on a different forum that that usualy means across all of them. Alltough I did find it weird that my pretty high end mobo (MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon) wouldnt even be able to run 4 power intensive fans, so guess it is for each one. So I'll get a fan splitter in the future and jerry rig it for now. Thanks for the help!

Sorry if i was unclear. I meant cut up the plastic around the fan headers on the molex to 3 pin adapter to make the intact pmw cables fit. Did I missunderstand what I read then ? I thought the 1A ratining was across all headers.

I already had the fans and they used to be connected differently but I changed the build around and dont have enough headers. I might get a fan controller in the future but for now im wondering if I can connect them all this way for now.

I have only 5 headers and 3 other fans and a pump i need to connect. Also I read somewhere that you realy shouldn't overload your fan connecters. Aparently my mobo can do 1A across all headers but my fans draw like 1.8 total I think. But mainly the lack of headers and the fact that I allready have the cable to solve the problem.

I have 3 PMW 4-pin fans that I want to connect directly to my PSU. I have a molex to 3x3-pin adapter whith only the 12V and ground pin. Would there be any issues if I just cut them up a bit to make the 4-pin fans fit in there? I'm guessing that they would just run at full speed but work fine but I don't want to risk 100$ worth of fans without asking before I do it.

Looking for an affordable PCI-E extender that will not impact the performance of high end GPUs (planning on useing with 1070 and 1080ti). I see most people recomending the TT Premium PCI-E 3.0 Extender by Thermaltake (http://ttpremium.com/product/tt-premium-pci-e-3-0-extender-300mm/) but it is a little expensive at 70$, especialy because i need two. Do you guys know any more affordable options?

so gen 6 and ddr3 would work?

I am building systems for my GF and me. Ive had a B150 PRO GAMING D3 lying arround for a while and i was planing on useing it for her system. I got confused when i saw on the back, that it is only compatible with DDR3 RAM. From the ASUS website i learned, taht it is compatible with 6th gen Intel CPUs (witch i thought only worked with DDR4 but I might be wrong on that). Is this DDR3 board compatible with 7th gen CPUs and if yes does it make sense to use it in that way?
