Hi guys, not sure if this qualifies as a peripheral? But I am in desperate need of a titan ridge 2.0 Thunderbolt 3 card. I purchased a UAD Apollo X4 audio interface and didn't realize it was so hard to get these cards right now. I guess the chip shortage really affected these, I cant find a Thunderbolt 3 AIC card for Z390 period, and the asus ones apparently have awful compatibility with the titan ridge being the best out. I really would prefer the 2.0 But would settle for the 1.0 If anyone has one they would be willing to sell you would be a life saver I found some on ebay but most are used or flashed for Mac. I need one that works with windows, and would prefer brand new, I think I would trust someone on here a bit more buying used or unopened, I found one that was being sold as new open box but only showed stock images, when I asked for pics they sent me images from someone else ebay listing and than tried to charge me $35 for shipping and started phishing for personal information lol. I need one asap my Apollo just arrived today wasn't supposed to get here until Tuesday. I also bought one from Gigabyte on Amazon but its est arrival isnt until feb 1st which the return period for the Apollo will be over by than. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

im currently using integrated gfx, will throwing in a card that's old as dirt slow everyday processes? should i just stick to integrated until i can get a 30?

I am getting sick of waiting for the rtx 30 series to come back in stock, is it even worth waiting? If so are any of the 30 series simply just overkill for my 9900k will my processor bottleneck any of the rtx 30 series cards?

Bump

Heres my question / deleimma I need help with I have a hp prebuilt with only one m.2 slot Should I use a 2.5" ssd for boot + the 16GB optane m10 and a seagate 5000dm000 for secondary which is only a 5900rpm drive The same setup ad mentioned only replacing with a 1 or 2 Tb HDD that is 7200RPM Or should I get rid of the optane use a 256 - 512gb nvme and just a HDD with no optane for storage?

I actually tried doing that as a fix didnt work for me, I would recommend just rolling back and waiting for them to patch it, its not just you and not just me that this happens too... microsoft patches it out pretty quickly... or sometimes you can reinstall again and it will work... ive also had where there were so many people pulling the updates at the same time something went wrong and a piece of the download corrupted and so fourth.....

try rolling back the last windows 10 update, i had a similar issue when a new patch rolled out... i rolled it back, worked fine, they eventually patched the update and i didnt have the same problems again

But is the on board raid of a aorus master good enough to make getting multiple nvme worth it? or is it going to add annoying unreasonable extra boot time?

I need a large amount of storage space for my audio workstation 2 x 2TB NVME SSD in Raid Or 4TB Sata SSD or Cheap Route 4x 1TB Sata SSD in Raid I have a Aorus Master 9900k build and would be using the on board raid controller I need the space for my plug ins / sample library, Native instruments recommends that all of the library be on the c drive / main hard drive that the actual plugin is installed on and i have well over 1tb of expansions and plugins for my Maschine / Komplete Kontrol Setup. I could probably get away with a 2TB for now but I am going to be continuing to grow my plugin and sample library some of the higher end multi sampled plugins are 50gb+ for just one type of sound Like Violin Sections.... SO in all actuality the more storage the better

cool, im not worried about the performance at all just getting that bigger drive space temporarily

Hey all, Anyone have experience using nvme drives in raid on the Aorus Master z390. I got 2 questions. 1. If i make the raid 0 drives my boot drive how much of a delay does it ad to startup due to having to load the raid profile? 2. I have enough nvme drives to do a 512gb boot and my raid drives as secondary, would that even make sense to do? Reason for considering doing this. I have only got 512gb nvme drives and I recently purchased a maschine with komplete 12 ultimate collectors edition. It includes nearly 900gb+ of audio plugins and patches. No basically I ran out of space and until i pony up and purchase a 2tb nvme or a 4tb 2,5" sata ssd I was considering raiding together 2 512. I would potentially do all 3 but 1 of them is a samsung (my fastest) the other 2 are slightly slower sk hynix drives (got them for free) which is why i have the mis matching of brands. Now I do know that when you populate all the nvme slots you use lanes and if im not mistaking this would make my gfx slot slower / cut the bandwidth in half correct? I know this is information available online and may have been answered in the forums already but i am a moron when it comes to searching and figured it wouldn't hurt to share my specific setup and see if this even temporarily makes sense? I apologize in advance for any poor spelling or grammar

got ya, thanks for the info I think Im going to buy the aio aorus 2080ti unless a 2080ti super version will be coming out? at any rate would it even be worth the extra money

I know this is a old post, but what kind of bullshit is this... excuse the language, but how is this even legal, we are going to sell you the same processor for almost $100 more oh and by the way the 9900k we sold you was slightly defective so we slapped a s at the end of this one and its "technically" a different product. Anyone have any luck getting intel to replace their "non binned" version with one. This is one of the sleaziest things ive heard of.. didnt know this had already been going on for some time since i dont follow tech news that closely

Arnt the fans that come with aio coolers pressure optimized?
