    Thanks for the advice

    Thanks for the help

    Looks like I'm SOL then, haha. Missed the actual gamer program cards too. Been trying to get a 3080 since launch. Any way to get them besides coding your own bot or driving for like 500 miles? I've even joined those discord groups that give you notifications and shit, I'm always too late.

    I keep hearing about people being able to get 3080s at microcenter, but there isn't a microcenter for hundreds of miles in any direction. Other than bestbuy and microcenter what other in-person GPU sellers are there in the lower 48?

    @aisle9 speaks words of wisdom

    probably nothing happened. synthetic benchmarks push things harder than you will see in the real world. if your system runs fine while you're using it, your hardware is totally fine. enjoy your computer.

    did you OC your system? what's your system specifications?
  8. Jedimaster99
    as is stated in the name, it is indeed 80+ platinum

    I daily drive the MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB VENTUS XS OC Video Card and I'm super happy with it. I've also been able to get a stable OC on the card of about +150mhz, so you can get even more out of it than they give you

    I'd recommend getting a better PSU. the wattage is totally fine for your build, but if you can front the cost now you'll save a bit long-term in your power bill with an 80+ gold PSU
  11. Jedimaster99
    a lot of the reviews of the expansion card you linked talk about unreliability. it might be a faulty card
  12. Jedimaster99
    what's your budget? the great thing about a PSU is that you can reuse it in builds, so if you can afford a titanium / platinum PSU, that might not be a terrible idea.

    those thermals aren't great, but 5.0GHz is a pretty hefty overclock, and considering it's a small formfactor case, I'm not terribly surprised that's it's hot. if it isn't throttling, it probably isn't a huge deal

    @ANTHEMBUILDSbadly made or old PSUs will often break. it sends a giant voltage spike to your computer and destroys everything.
  15. Jedimaster99
    same question as @TofuHaroto.
  16. Jedimaster99
    what is this build for?

    the technician really doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about. the reason why you have a secondary connector is if your CPU is demanding more power than 1 connector can handle, it can draw from both. but if you don't hit the limit of 1 connector (which realistically you won't unless you're on LN2), then the 2nd connector is redundant. I have my 2nd one plugged in and I'm well under the power limit of the primary connector, and I'm using air cooling. so although the secondary connector is made for extreme overclockers, it won't brick your board if you plug it in.

    I'm new

    Welcome! it's a very enthusiastic forum, and we talk about nearly anything technically related.

    I agree with boggy77. you got a cheaped out on the PSU and you got what you paid for.
  20. Jedimaster99
    you could use a PC remote control software. there's a million free ones online
  21. Jedimaster99
    check to see if your case fans and ram support individually addressable RGB.
  22. Jedimaster99
    you're going to need internet to have constant data sharing.
  23. Jedimaster99
    haha, I couldn't give you an exact number. if you're really worried about each frame, then yeah, you could probably get at least a few fps out of it. you'd probably get more out of spending some time OCing your CPU and your GPU though.
  24. Jedimaster99
    seems like a pretty solid, balanced build. if you can haggle a bit, that's never a bad idea. what CPU are you planning to replace the 7700k with? intel changes their chipset roughly every other generation, so check for compatibility.
  25. Jedimaster99
    Usually Ryzen prefers higher speed RAM, but it isn't a huge deal. if you're cool with your computer being a few percent slower, then 3000mhz is fine. if you want the super specific data, gamers nexus does a pretty comprehensive report on this. https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3508-ryzen-3000-memory-benchmark-best-ram-fclk-uclock-mclock hope that helps!
