Dell | Alienware nVIDIA RTX 3080 The boards and cooling have been tweaked by Alienware itself to be shorter than any RTX 3000-series card we’ve heard about yet, at just 267mm (10.5 inches) in length, the better to fit into smaller cases like the Aurora R11. Believe it or not, Nvidia’s own RTX 3080 Founder’s Edition is actually one of the smallest cards on the market at 285mm (11.2 inches) long, and this is even shorter. Plus, Alienware says its custom 10mm-heat-pipe-and-vapor-chamber solution, with dual fans, only takes up 2.5 PCIe slots. It uses a s

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB GDDR6X "officially added to the rig" -
I am looking for a Display that can output 60 FPS on both HDMI 2.0 and Displayport 1.4 @ 4k | Freesync or Gsync is not needed here but if it is there so be it. THE PC "may or may not be attached to this screen| however I thought I would include the GPU One is drive for Ps4 Pro Two is drive for Ps5 Three "spare" Back in the day I remember you could not find both. It was either one or the other . The HDMI would only cap out at 30 FPS and you HAD to use DisplayPort. This monitor is going to be used for strickly Ps4 Pro and PS5 gameplay. Fiancé will be us

if you own a 2700x and have that installed you need to flash via command line. Instant flash will not work! https://download.asrock.com/TSD/X570 Phantom Gaming-ITXTB3.pdf -
X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3 with Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G

SOLVED! -
I've updated the board to bios 2.30. I originally booted up with a Ryzen 2700x. System was fine. After that I updated BIOS to 2.30 and other later BIOS versions even the BETA. No matter what, the system does not boot with the new CPU. It just keeps looping. The system boots up and then after 30-seconds boots down. I bought this CPU from a vendor off Newegg. I am thinking he sent me a dud? To further reiterate the motherboard works fine with the 2700x and a VARIETY of memory modules, Ranging from 2666 to 3200mhz I have in tot

Still going over wiring etc. 1070ti is just a throw away card. I have a RTX 2080ti laying around somewhere I am going to use for gaming. -

Correct. My miTX is going to have a 4k capture card. The board has HDMI and DisplayPort | however I wanted a modern iGPU. https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570 Phantom Gaming-ITXTB3/index.asp#Overview -
