Does anyone know when the 7900s will be released on 12/13? Will it be 12am for each respective region? I'm hoping to order on Amazon or NewEgg. I guess my other backup option is to hop on over to my local microcenter but I bet a line would have already formed by the time I decide that.

Thanks for making that extra clear!

Just to make sure I'm not misunderstanding you, the total length is, in this case, card + baffle? So I guess in theory anything up to 342mm should fit?
-
Does anyone know if the listed measurements for GPU lengths provided w/ the GPU baffle or w/o? I'm trying to find out more information about the AIB 4080 cards to see which one would fit in my meshlicious. The spec for my meshlicious case indicates that it supports gpu's in "3 slots mode up to 332mm length(GPU Baffle not included), 342mm length(GPU Baffle included) and 155 mm tall" I'm just a bit confused by the GPU baffle measurements included. More specifically, I'm looking at this GPU.

I'm looking to get my first ultra-wide and I'm trying to decide between either a budget ultra-wide vs the more premium model. I've come down to either the this LG one or the Dell one. My research indicates that the Dell one is a good value for the money and checks most of my boxes. The only one that it doesn't check is that it isn't IPS, which I can live without (probably) since I'll mostly be gaming. On the other hand, the LG one checks all my boxes but comes at a $300 premium. If I wasn't upgrading my computer (CPU & GPU) alongside my monitor, this wouldn't be as tough of a decision for me. Is the $300 increase worthwhile in the long run? I'd hate to look back 1-2 years from now wishing I had gone with the LG. From the reviews I've watched about the Dell, everyone says it's great except for that it's VA panel. I guess YMMV with each panel and what you do with it but what is the consensus here regarding these two options? Any feedback is appreciated.

Darn, the FC140 is too chunky for my SFF. I'll do more digging. Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless!

Fair enough, I guess if I can get the 5900x for cheaper than the 5800x3d, there's no point in not getting the 5900x. I see you're using a 5900x with a B550. Do you have any air or aio suggestions?
-
Mostly for gaming honestly, anything related to work has been fine on the 3600. I'm essentially looking for an FPS uplift on an ultrawide at 3440x1440. The 5800x3D is really enticing since the performance results have shown a bit of a gain over the 5800x (and honestly it doesn't make much sense to get a 5800x if the 5700x exists). However the 5800x3D probably won't be sub $400 any time soon whereas I can get the 5900x right now for ~$360.
-
I guess I'm still on the fence about getting the 5900x vs 5800x3d as the 5900x would give me 4 more cores and 8 more threads at a cheaper price, however if I go with the 5900x the temps would be pretty high with an air cooler. Unless I put it in eco, but is eco-mode silly on a 5900x? I only saw one post where someone was only able to run it a 2.9gHz on eco which is unfortunate.

Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my processor pretty soon here to either the 5900x or the 5800x3D. Currently sporting a Scythe Big Shuriken 3 in my Meshilicious with my current R5 3600 which works great. Would this cooler still be sufficient if I were to upgrade to the 5800x3D or 5900x? I know that eco mode is an option but I'd like to have that as the second to last resort, the last being to buy a new cooler.

Corsair Type4 Cables and BitFenix PSU Compatibility
bappled replied to bappled's topic in Power Supplies
Would using those Corsair Type 4 Cables work with my current PSU if they supposedly have the same pin out? Or would it still be an issue given that they're not from the same PSU/company. -
Corsair Type4 Cables and BitFenix PSU Compatibility

Would using these Corsair Type4 cables work with my PSU? I currently have a BitFenix WhisperM and from what I've found they have the same pinout as Corsair PSU's that uses Type4 cables. I can't find much more information regarding this however I did find a reply on another post that touches on this. I'm not too knowledgeable regarding this but am hoping to find out a bit more from someone that is before actually plugging these cables into my system. I'd hate to short anything if I were to plug this in. My reason for swapping out the cables is because I want short cables for my build so using SF cables will allow that without having to go the custom cable route.

I'm currently looking to upgrade my monitor to a 3440x1440 165hz ultrawide from a 1920x1080 165hz monitor. I had originally thought about upgrading my CPU from the 3600 to the 5800x but wrote it off since I wouldn't be gaining much on 1080p. However, since I am now considering the ultrawide at 3440x1440, would I see much benefit in fps if I upgrade to a 5800x? Is my current setup optimal to game at this res? I realize that I'll be playing at a lower FPS but I'm planning on getting the 4000 cards later on anyway, might not be a bad idea to future proof the monitors. Current games I play are: Valorant, Horizon ZD, RDR2, Elden Ring, Apex Currently rocking a 3600 @ 4.1gHz and 2070 at stock settings.

Hello, I broke one of the fans on my GPU recently (snapped a blade) and I'm looking to fix it or replace it myself. RMA isn't really an option for me since I don't have another system to use for work/school. Do you guys know where I can order a replacement set of fans for this? I've tried reaching out to MSI support in the past but I haven't heard back from them at all. Anything would be helpful! My GPU
