  1. Could always paint the acrylic. Might open the options up more. Id rather take a used ek block over anything. Best build quality and looks.
  2. It was an upgrade over my 8700k. Still struggles and holds my card back. Not worth dealing with the heat, I'd look into a lower end 12/13gen. Thinking of doing the same, somewhat newer I7 with a cheap ddr4 board.
  3. 9900k struggles enough with a 3090. I get by in a few games but also not getting peak frames. I'd go cpu over gpu but since you just got it, could alway use a frame cap on the new card if need be.
  4. Fans are fans. It doesnt matter unless you try to mix them on the same header. Then it becomes a control issue.
  5. Cpu is gonna struggle in everything before the card is the limitation. Good for solo play, wouldnt do online unless is something matching the gen of the cpu, like bf4. Stuff around there.
  6. It will be fine with any adapter that you can get. I run dual 6 pin on a 3090. Used several brand adapters and all worked the same.
  7. It was ok, then game updates slowed it down so much it could barely maintain 100fps. I'll use it for old games like bf4 but pretty much useless now.
  8. Paint it. Buy a fancy cover for it. See if a water block is offered and a matching back plate and just run that. buy a broke card and swap the plate.
  9. Mine struggles with a 3090. Dont care to push the overclock to run at such high temps for little return. Other games like 2042 exaggerates that as it pegs every core. I'll be upgrading to a 13700k, no need for me to struggle with this cpu with the next wave of games coming out.
  10. Is there a free sync setting that’s a limitation via a monitor connected or output on the card? Is it mirrored for a capture card or actual monitor?
  11. The right cables being used? It’s gonna say those for a reason regardless if the card is cool enough. But still no reason to run at half the core clock. Mine sits at 1958 I think, same limits.
  12. Not knowing the version, should be able to see the limits in the software. Could have been flashed as well.
  13. Does it work in real world or are you just chasing a number?
  14. Would only get the fe models myself. Love the look and build quality. Does great for gaming if the cpu can handle it and editing videos is amazing with it. If you have the cash for a TI, go for it. Got my 3090 used but came with the $400usd block on it. Nice having a smaller card as well, opens up some build options if you go water some time.
