Yesterday I bought Sapphire RX 6800 XT Nitro+ as it was the cheapest option in my country. I paid ~1350$ with VAT. The prices of RX 6900 XTs are much higher than what I paid.

AMD has claimed that they're going to produce more reference cards in Q1 2021, so I guess I'll wait.

I also should've pointed out that I've been waiting for an upgrade since January 2020, holding on with RX 570 4GB. It will last long, you better get used to it, just my opinion though.

That's not the worst deal... I see AIB RX 6900 XT listed even for 2000USD in Poland.

All thanks to COVID-19 or it's just inflation going crazy... I don't see prices going down to MSRP in the next few months that is why I don't care about them. The cards were sold at MSRP for like 1 day in my country, which means maybe you were able to buy 150 pieces at the "correct" price.

Thanks for Your opinion. Any other opinions?

Hi, in my country reference rx 6900 xt costs about the same as AIB RX 6800 XT (Power Color Red Devil, MSI Gaming X TRIO), what would You choose? Both around 1500$, yeah, nice price, I know. Regards, WS

Ok, thanks. That's what I did but I just wanted to be sure, lol.

Dear Community, so I have a weird problem in my mind. One side of the PSU cables have their names written down e.g. "CPU" or "PCIE", etc. How should I connect them to the components? "CPU" side of the cable to the PSU where the CPU socket is or "CPU" side of the cable to the motherboard where the connectors for the CPU are. My PSU is Bitfenix Whisper M 850W. Regards, WS

I'd recommend Bitfenix Whisper M 850W. Bought one a few days ago. OCCT PSU stress test had 0 errors after 1h benchmark. It has gold colour on PSU tier list and it's in the A tier. I have 5900x as well but my GPU is RX 570 4GB.

Scratchy inconsistent noise kind of deeper in the audio is what you guys should focus on.

I was told by the store to RMA it. I think it's faulty bearing as well. What kind of motor do you mean?

Dear LTT community, I've been using my Noctua NH-U14S for over a year now but once I switched cases I discovered it creates very weird scratchy deep noises when it's on bigger loads. It's also pretty annoying when it's ramping up from idle to load. I recorded a video, stress test starts around 0:15. Please, don't mind "clicking" noises, as it's my dog walking in the background. Share your thoughts. Regards, WS video-1606763024.mp4
