So for someone who is already invested in X299, how smart would it be to switch everything over to TRX40?
X299 upgrade path allows up to the 10980XE but I haven't found one in stock yet. As for longevity, X299 might be at the end of the road. EOL soon? One more refresh? Who knows. I haven't found much information on whats next for X299.
Switching over to TRX40 would require a new motherboard and I would only be purchasing the 3960X. I don't see it going EOL anytime soon and you get PCIE 4.0 and Gen 4 NVME. Nothing to scream about but nice to have.
Honest thoughts and opinions welcome!

I'd just wait then. The 3960X is 6 months old already and the 10980XE is nowhere in sight. The few times I've seen them pop up, they're going for old, insane Intel HEDT money. I don't think you're going to see mass improvements in your workflow and the sheer cost of a platform move is so high. I'd wait for the next generation of either.
Not that I did that. I have an 3970X and a 7980XE. It's a beast of a CPU, but so it the 7980XE. And the latter is more fun lol.
PCIe Gen 4 isn't worth the hype right now either.

My local micro center has the 10900X and 10920X. Last time I asked about the 10980XE they couldn't give me a direct answer to when it would be carried. At B&H most X299 cpus are back ordered and have been for awhile now.
You're right though and I agree with you. I just wanted someone else's opinion on it. Now speaking of that 7980XE, did you delid yours?

Just curios if anyone has tried to replace the current thermal pad on the 5700XT with the Innovation Cooling Graphite Thermal Pad?

Not sure what to do.
I spent the past 2 months messing around with different build configurations but got nowhere with it.
A. Re-build my X99 Rig with a 6950X (I already have multiple X99 motherboards sitting around/Cheapest 6950X is $779)
B. Build a 2700X build with a 1080Ti
C. Build a Z370 build with a 1080TiD. Possibly build a high end X299 build
Or
Z. Wait for the new 9th gen stuff and see how that plays out.
I'm not just gaming but also streaming, editing, using a daw, etc..

Did AMD ever give out the release date for the Threadripper 2920X?
One article mentioned October but I would like to double check.

Difference between the 1070 Ti and a 1080 is $60.
What do you guys think?
Is the the 1080 really worth the extra $60?
This is for an upcoming build.

Also, VRM temps for the M7 stayed around 50c-55c, thanks to the Cryorig A80 Hybrid AIO!
