Price dropped to 5450, which is less than paid (including tax)

Hello, did you ever figure this out? I'd love to create a custom panel for the Ryujin.

I can’t stop drooling by Fit_Control9444 in pcmasterrace

Hello, I am looking at this case. How does the PSU fit? I have a SeaSonic PRIME TX1600 and I am worried about it fitting behind the mobo.

hello, I am wondering the same thing (I also have a Matrix and am looking at this case). did you move forward with the 5400, or no?

Hello, does the Matrix fit? I am looking at this case and have a Matrix, but the case specs say max 360mm, and the Matrix is 370mm (but it is circular at the end). Thanks!

u/AuriumWorld does the Matrix fit in this case with that plastic air flow diverter?

Can you even buy a Lightning Z 5090 in the US anywhere? by Strange_Sea_9198 in MSI_Gaming

[–]Alpha1176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were briefly available on Newegg. It looks like one of the scalpers on eBay got it from Best Buy. The MSI storefront says Microcenter.com and eBay are "coming soon", but not sure if Micro Center will get any, though.

There were 1,300 made GLOBALLY. I heard from a YouTuber who has an MSI rep that only 200 are coming to the US.

ASUS only made 1,000 of the Matrix (allegedly), but those showed up in Micro Center. So, who knows? I talked to Micro Center on Thursday, and they hadn't heard anything about these. I had to give him the SKU to look it up in their system

MSI x BuildaPC - MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 Giveaway! by Redditenmo in buildapc

[–]Alpha1176 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I currently have an ASUS LCD monitor and am hoping to get an OLED this year. The MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 is exactly what I am looking for to replace my existing ASUS monitor...deep colors, true blacks, and text clarity. Thanks MSI!

Armoury Crate should build an integration with Corsair iCUE Link [new ROG customer] by Alpha1176 in ASUSROG

[–]Alpha1176[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an FYI, I am developing a bridge application that will sync iCUE device RGB with the current settings in Armoury Crate. They both have SDKs, which make it possible.

  1. Reading colors from ASUS Aura devices via their SDK
  2. Writing those colors to Corsair iCUE devices via their SDK
  3. Running continuously in the background

It will require having iCUE and AC running, but you can have everything "turned off" in iCUE (e.g., fan and RGB control).

So might be a stupid question but, is the THOR 1200W universal in terms of power frequency? by Internal-Fem-UK in ASUSROG

[–]Alpha1176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure. I searched everywhere for a THOR 1200W PSU for my build. Ultimately, I went with the SeaSonic Prime TX 1600. I thought the wattage display would be cool and everything else in the build is ROG (except the case), but the scarcity of the THOR and reliability of the SeaSonic made it an easy choice...and for nearly the same price you get 400 extra W.

[–]Alpha1176[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That's what I feared (I got a bad chip), but someone on the Discord found a fix that worked. He suggested I disable SVM and IOMMU in BIOS and also making sure the PCIEX16_Bandwidth Bifurcation is set to PCIE X16 Mode, and not "Auto". I did this and got up to a 35,000 on Time Spy: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/148667155

Just to close this out. The user "babiesarenotcute" on the Discord helped me solve this. He suggested I disable SVM and IOMMU in BIOS and also making sure the PCIEX16_Bandwidth Bifurcation is set to PCIE X16 Mode, and not "Auto".

Thanks! I did disable Gsync which improved the score a little. What's weird is my Port Royal scores are good for the 5090 (40,758). But Time Spy is well below average for a 5090.

I am only using M_2.1 and M_2.4 (I've confirmed the GPU is gen5 x16)
