    I don't think I've ever seen a company shoot themselves in the face so blatently as this.

    The truth is simply, we have two ears, you only need two sources(for headphones)
     
    With the right processing and information it's pretty easy to trick your ears tbh

    In the process of replacing my motherboard so I can give my old Ryzen 1700, 16GB RAM, 650W PSU and gtx 1080 to my friends kid. Also got a spare sub 1080p screen they'll use until the friend can grab a more modern screen. (Going to be building this into a system for them, with them providing the left over stuff)
     
    Anyway... I'm quite happy with this paste application

    Here is a demonstration of the effect of binning on efficiency.
     
     The 4070 Ti Super and 4080 Super are both based on the AD103 die. The 4070 ti super at the bottom of the stack and the 4080 Super at the top. Both working on p18220 we see Yields of 14.5 vs. 17.2MPPD:

     
    So here's the kicker:

     
    The 4080 Super is drawing less power while running at a lower clock speed and is still out-performing the 4070 ti Super.

    Breaks the clock speed record and lose to a $370 Ryzen processor in gaming.

    I've never had a single problem with it, either with my 1700 or my 5950x

    That's one nasty board. I'm still running a Gaming K7 for one of my dual folding rigs

    I had one of my dual GPU motherboards fail during Folding month and so had to move the GPUs to my last two remaining spare AM4 motherboards which are Gigabyte Aorus b450m models I picked up for $80Cdn each when they were on Clearance last year.  But these boards are micro ATA (mATX) and thus could only support one GPU each.
     
    With the 4080 Supers being better values now I picked up a couple of the Gigabyte Gaming OC models. Being 3.76 Slots wide these big boys fit with just a couple of mm to spare to not overhang the I/O connectors at the bottom of the motherboards. A case swap was also required for one system as the Fractal Define C was too short to accommodate the 342mm GPU length so the guts were transplanted to a spare Fractal Define S.
     
    As expected these GPUs are most efficient being at the top of the AD103 stack. One even draws just 3W at idle.

    All that's left is the fittings... All 53 of them individually. Not looking forward to this.

    Over an hour of hard scrubbing later and i don't think it's very pretty anymore. 
    I think i'm just going to get  an ultrasonic cleaner and hope that  is able to reach in between the microfins on the waterblocks. Because if that fails, i'm going to have to buy all new watercooling for this box.....
