Can get it through work with a discount. I'll also take a look for used ones.

No, but I can buy them both slightly on sale. For the same amount of discount though.

Good to know, thanks!

I need to run VMs and render things. Current board is MSI X470 Gaming Pro Carbon, just checked and should support it. Wasn't the cheapest board either. Thoughts?

Hi, I built a system almost 2 years ago with a Ryzen 7 3800x. Since I now have a much bigger budget available for a CPU I'm wondering if its worth it to get a 5900X (with new mb) or 5950X (w/o new mb). I just need some more cores for VMs and work and so I can use this PC for a few years, but it's not very urgent. I've read that next gen Ryzen might have DDR5, which I guess will just cost quite a lot and I don't plan on spending $400 or so on 32GB RAM. So my question is, is it just better to get the current gen in that case, or better to wait? I just wanna upgrade so it can last me a few years. Thanks

I guess it doesn't matter as much if I don't plan on overclocking.. or am I wrong on that?

Hi, I currently have 2 orders for an RTX 3080: Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio The MSI's queue is quite a bit longer (30-40 compared to 330+). My question is, is it worth waiting for the MSI? Is it even that much better compared to the Gigabyte (With all the MLCC and POSCAP thing going on)? (Not sure about the restock frequency of either.) I'm looking which one I should cancel (as I don't want to be that guy that sells it for more)

Hi, I'm looking for a 1440p TN panel (prefer 27inch) and came across the Iiyama G-Master GB2760QSU-B1 After reading nothing but good reviews I went ahead and bought the monitor. After connecting the monitor I immediately noticed something strange with the backlight. The brightness varies all over the screen. It doesn't change if I change my angle towards the screen. I went ahead and took a picture, and also modified a picture with indications since I know a camera changes it completely. I'm satisfied with the monitor but that difference in backlight even annoys me when looking at something a little day (grey for example). The left and right sides being darker is ALWAYS visible under every circumstance. Is this a possible manufacturing fault or is TN/this monitor known for this? My current TN monitors have 0 backlight issues. (Monitor will be returned either way, but if it's a manufacturing fault I might re-order it as I like it apart from that). Any help or info is appreciated

Hi, I've just got an NVMe SSD, and from what I understand it should run between 0-70°C. Yet mine runs up to 80°C It's a Samsung 970 EVO Plus, here's the temperature. The "Current" is the temperature at idle, while basically writing this. "Maximum" was when doing a benchmark (shot up to 79 during writes) This is the benchmark: Doesn't seem to be throttling either. Is this normal or is this too high? It has a heatshield on it (without the heatshield it even shot up to 89°C..) Edit: It's also sitting right next to my GPU (basically right under the PCIe x16 slot)

Hi, I'm currently looking for a new laptop, but I can't make up which is gonna be the best. I'm mainly aiming at performance while maintaining long battery life. I have 3 laptops in my mind, all have a 67-71Wh battery. They have either an i7-1065G7, i7-10750H or i7-10510U. Which of these will give me best battery life (I know the H has more TDP, which is why I expect it to use a bit more power. Mainly between the G7 & U) I'd love a Ryzen 7 but sadly they're very hard to find at this moment (with enough ram, battery...)

Hi, I'm currently using an i5-8250U which is always locked at 100% while doing multiple things at a time (browser + android emulation/VM). I'm currently looking for a new laptop that's stronger than the old one. I found a few laptops that are lightweight (as it will be taken with me everywhere) with the following CPU options: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U Ryzen 5 3500U i5-10510U i7-1065G7 Which of these options will deliver the best performance while maintaining good efficiency? (As battery life during load is rather important, keeping in mind we're talking about android studio, VM and programming with building constantly)

Hi, As the warranty on my PSU has expired a while ago, I'm looking for a reliable replacement with enough watts (not that good when it comes to PSUs) My specs: Ryzen 9 3900x RTX 2080 super 16GB DDR4 2x Sata SSD 2x 7.2k RPM HDD I'm looking for 80 PLUS Gold or higher, but most importantly a quality PSU with a long warranty between 100-200€. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm looking towards purchasing a sapphire RX 5700 XT pulse. I was wondering if it's risky to buy this GPU. I know the GPU drivers are still a little buggy, but I never owned an AMD card so I would like to know how AMD's reputation on drivers is from the past. I don't know if it's too risky to buy this card or not. Anyone that can give me some more information?

Alright, I'll take a look at them. Thanks!
