  1. The MSRP given by Nvidia for a 3080 Ti is $1,200. The specific model OP linked to is around $2,000 if you can find it in stock from a retailer, I'm basing this off the price of the OC edition on Newegg.
  2. In the Noctua video that is linked above in this thread, they do use a GTX 1650 KalmX. Edit: Actually its the 1050 Ti KalmX, not 1650.
  3. https://www.palit.com/palit/vgapro.php?id=3494&lang=en Palit makes a fully passive GTX 1650.
  4. DOJ has apparently recovered millions of dollars of the ransom. https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/07/politics/colonial-pipeline-ransomware-recovered/index.html
  5. The Newegg product page does say specifically the 2700X will work on it. However, it will be very dependent on how good your case airflow is. Also, we'll need to see independent reviews to be able to verify these claims.
  6. Summary Noctua's passive CPU cooler, named the NH-P1, is now available to purchase on Newegg for $100. As it is a passive cooler, it does not use any fans and will generate absolutely no noise if used like out of the box. However, you can add a 120mm fan if you choose. The Newegg product page makes bold claims about the NH-P1's cooling capability. It states that this cooler is recommended for CPUs with low to moderate heat dissipation. However, it goes on to list multiple CPUs, including the i9-9900K and Ryzen 9 3950X, which run pretty hot under load. Quotes From Newegg product page: My thoughts Given how quiet Noctua fans already are, I wonder if it would be better to just have better cooling with a normal fan that is already quiet rather than sacrifice temps with a large passive cooler like this. Also, I don't think this will be able to handle a 9900K or 3950X under full load without throttling. However, I could be surprised. I await Gamers Nexus's review on this cooler.

  7. I built this entirely from scratch last December. Ryzen 5 5600X - 2020 First used AMD stock cooler, temps were too high for me. Switched to Corsair A500 which was on sale, then realized it was too tall for my case, so I gave it to friend. Now use EVGA CLC 240 AIO, which was released 2017? (based off first reviews of it) ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 - 2020 Patriot Viper Steel 3600 MHz CL17 - 2019? (basing this on Newegg first sold date) PNY CS3030 SSD - 2019? (based off Newegg first sold. MSI RTX 3070 Ventus 3x OC - 2020 Cooler Master TD500 Mesh - 2020 EVGA 600 BQ PSU - 2016? (also based off of Newegg first sold date) Arctic P12 PWM fans - 2018? (based off of Newegg first sold date) Majority of my components are from 2018-2020, so I voted for that.
  8. Summary The AMD Radeon Pro W6800, which features the same amounts of CU and Stream Processors as the RX 6800, but with 32GB of VRAM, has appeared on Geekbench. The graphics card's listed maximum frequency of 2554 MHz is relatively high, however it is unknown how accurate this is and how long this frequency can be sustained. This card scored 137,230 points on the OpenCL benchmark, which is higher than the normal RX 6800. This GPU is expected to be announced at a special event on June 8th. Quotes My thoughts Nice to see more competition in the workstation GPU segment of the market. I wonder if they will release a W6900 with even more VRAM, maybe even with HBM?

  9. Depends on how good of a switch you're looking for. Gateron Yellows, one of the best budget switches, go for around $0.20-$0.25 a switch. JWK switches, which are mid to high end switches, go for about $0.50-$0.55 a switch. Zeal switches, which are some of the priciest, are $1 a switch.
  10. No, they're probably still gonna work. As mentioned in the post, the physical sockets will be the same size.
  11. No. On Alder Lake a board will only support either DDR4 or DDR5, the memory controller on the CPU can support either.
  12. Update: Executable Fix has now leaked more stuff. Zen 4 Raphael (first consumer Zen 4 chip) will support DDR5 (as expected), but unlike Intel Alder Lake, it will not also support DDR4. Raphael will have 28 PCIe 4.0 lanes, up from Zen 3's 24. The chips will have a 120W TDP, with a 170W special variant also possible. Executable Fix also leaked a picture of the LGA 1718 pads on the CPU. Here it is compared to LGA 1700 (Alder Lake socket):
  13. Based on what I've seen, GMK/Cherry screw-in stabilizers just have a lot of rattle in general following the retool. That's why I'm probably going to holee mod them. In the future I plan to swap them out with Durock V2s.
  14. Summary According to Executable Fix, who apparently has a pretty good track record with AMD leaks, AM5 will have an LGA1718 socket. This means AMD CPUs and sockets will be physically more similar to Intel CPUs and sockets than before, with the pins on the motherboard socket instead of a PGA layout with the pins on the CPU, which AMD currently employs. AMDs LGA socket will have 18 more pins than LGA 1700, which Intel will use for Alder Lake. However, the AM5 socket will retain the 40 x 40 mm size of the current AM4 socket, according to Executable Fix. In the same thread, Executable Fix goes on the say PCIe Gen 5 will be limited to only EPYC Genoa CPUs on Zen 4. Intel is rumored to have PCIe Gen 5 on all Alder Lake chips. Quotes My thoughts If true, RIP PGA on consumer chips. I guess this could help fix the issue with the CPU popping out when taking off the stock cooler and bending pins. This means you'll also need to keep that socket cover now on future AMD motherboards in order to RMA it. I wonder why AMD would limit PCIe Gen 5 to only EPYC, maybe due to increased motherboard costs? Also, is it even possible for AMD to fit 387 more pins on the same size socket and CPU?

  15. Any tips and tricks before I assemble my first custom keyboard? Specs: Cobalt POM Linears (recolor of Durock POMs), I'm going to be lubing them with 205G0 and filming with Deskeys Films Akko Macaw Keycaps KBD67 Lite R1, I'm going to be lubing the Cherry screw-in stabs with 205G0 as well, may holee mod depending on how much rattle there is after lubing. I have all the parts except the KBD67 Lite, which will be here in 4-7 days.
  16. Colonial paid $5 million in ransom to the hackers. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-13/colonial-pipeline-paid-hackers-nearly-5-million-in-ransom
  17. I may be wrong, but I think there are compatibility issues with Durock V2 stabs and the brass plate on the GMMK Pro. Like @NewHopeTech said above, you're going to probably need a file to make it fit.
  18. Make sure to quote me so that I get notified about your response. No, this was in the US.
  19. I would say it's better, but good luck getting one for it's MSRP of $95.
  20. The specs of your motherboard say it has an HDMI 2.1 port, which supports 1080p 165hz.
  21. Friend got in through notify. I signed up for him about 2 min after launch, he got it a week later.
  22. For the GPU: 1. download MSI Dragon Center if you don't already have it installed 2. In dragon center, go to support, then live update. 3. Scan for update, the VBIOS update should appear. Then follow the steps given to update your VBIOS. For your motherboard: Also, make sure Above 4G decoding is enabled and CSM is disabled in your motherboard BIOS.
