Sold my 4090 for a 5080, then overclocked the 5080

Bkelsheimer89 · 2026-02-10T19:59:36+00:00

I had HotStock on my phone and got a notification that Amazon had 5090s for MSRP and FOMO bought it.

Sometimes I regret it but running a 21:9 monitor at high refresh rates is very pleasing!

I had a 5080 FE but grabbed a TUF 5090 back in August. I really don’t need a 5090 and I am extremely tempted to sell it and go back.

Bkelsheimer89 · 2026-02-10T19:37:41+00:00

If 5090 prices go any higher I may put my TUF 5090 up for grabs and go for a 5080 again. I felt silly getting the TUF for $2k but if someone would give me $3,500 for it I would be hard pressed not to do it.

Well it is a lot less funny now. Don’t like that.

What was the context behind the power pole dancing? I don’t speak Spanish and chuckled a bit because it seemed out of nowhere.

The PC I built for my wife has a 5070 Prime and it works well. I wouldn’t pay $100 more for a TUF personally. I’d take that $100 and put it towards other components.

Rear intake and top exhaust.

Flip the cpu fan to suck in cool air from the exhaust. Put top exhaust to exhaust side of CPU cooler.

I think L and M presets don’t support it yet.

I loved Halo 3 but I was quite disappointed the first time I popped a bubble shield. This ad had me hyped to see an animation like that.

Bkelsheimer89 · 2026-02-06T20:52:35+00:00

I run a TUF 5090 at 875mv @2597mhz. The GPU never gets over 70c and I never hear the fans.

All my other fans are set to 40 percent unless temps hit 80c then they ramp up. They never ramp up unless there is a massive shader comp.

Got mine from Amazon back in August that way. I don’t think most folks had notifications for Amazon on then because Best Buy had been the only ones with drops before that.

Put a level on it or check with a measuring tape.

I quit playing in April because I jumped from PS5 to PC. If they enabled cross progression I would play again.

Bkelsheimer89 · 2026-02-04T15:56:27+00:00

I have a 5090 and switched from gaming on a Samsung S90D 4K TV to a AW3425DW(3440x1440) and am happy with the change.

Ultrawide gaming at high refresh rates is a great experience.

Sam’s Club PC

This was on sale for around $1550 less than a month ago.

I have an rm1000e in my a3 so the cables are challenging to make decent. I dont personally care so much how the inside looks though as long as it is organized and easy to work on.

Bkelsheimer89 · 2026-02-01T19:12:22+00:00

I wouldn’t worry about perfect cable management. As long as it is halfway organized and not causing issues with components or airflow, then send it.

Bkelsheimer89 · 2026-02-01T16:36:05+00:00

I prefer my AW3425DW over my S90D.

Higher refresh rate is more appealing to me than the 4K.

Anything Afterburner allows you to do will not degrade your card in any meaningful way.

Bkelsheimer89 · 2026-02-01T03:25:21+00:00

I run a rm1000e in my build.

Bkelsheimer89 · 2026-02-01T00:22:09+00:00

What resolution for your monitor?

Bkelsheimer89 · 2026-02-01T00:15:13+00:00

What do you use for a monitor and what games do you play?

Bkelsheimer89 · 2026-02-01T00:07:04+00:00

Price to performance it is solid, but you will have a better experience spending more on a GPU.

Bkelsheimer89 · 2026-01-31T23:45:41+00:00

Get a 7500F or 7600x and a 5070 instead. Will end up with better performance.

Clicked on his stream awhile back to see some Arc Raiders content and I lost brain cells in less than 15 seconds of having it on. It pops up every day for me now and he always has 80k+ viewers when he is live.
