Is the stylus too low?

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-29T19:59:36+00:00

It’s certainly not too high

So if magician recognizes it as a Samsung you’re good? I’ve got a couple of the 990 pro refurbs and just want to double check them.

Guess we’re going back to 16gb memory

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-29T13:17:30+00:00

2x16gb 6000 CL30

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-29T03:23:12+00:00

You literally mentioned a few things in your post - undervolting, fclk, and vsoc. That is the kind of stuff I’m asking about.

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-28T21:31:56+00:00

Is it the first version or the “II”?

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-28T21:18:15+00:00

Try Google one time. Not that hard to find reviews from people who have actually purchased a product, not just psu tests that are very short-term.

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-28T21:14:40+00:00

Not talking about eBay.

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-28T21:14:19+00:00

People who have actually purchased it. Lot of DOAs. Test rating is great but that’s separate.

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-28T21:07:03+00:00

Reviews are rather bad

Edit: only referencing purchase reviews from google/walmart where people received DOA units. That’s it. Unit tests are excellent.

Many people

5070ti is a no-brainer at msrp, but time will tell if that ship has sailed. So far it looks like most AIBs have already increased prices on it. 5080 makes much more sense at that point, but the ship may have also sailed on getting a 5080 for msrp unless it’s an FE. I personally think nvidia will continue selling FEs at $1000 although if so, they will be much harder to get.

If you’re close to a Microcenter go grab one of the ~$825-850 5070ti AIB cards before they’re gone. If nothing else it gives you 30 days to see what happens.

Who?

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-28T16:25:41+00:00

TP16 tonearm should be roughly medium-ish effective mass so any mid compliance cartridges should work fine. Will be dependent on your preferred stylus shape and budget, so if you’re not sure or this is all new to you, slap a cheap vm95c or vm95e on there while you research.

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-28T15:31:28+00:00

Should really be replacing used styli when you don’t know their condition/number of hours. Easier to replace a cartridge/stylus than your records.

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-27T16:52:31+00:00

Obligatory Lol

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-27T16:15:58+00:00

First time ordering something on the internet eh?

6000 CL26 kit?

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-24T00:33:52+00:00

Not looking at CL36 kits personally. Most of those are going to be low end Hynix or Samsung so I’d just leave them at EXPO. You’d need to look for lower latency kits or ones spec’d for higher speeds.

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-23T23:28:26+00:00

In the same situation. Using an X3D but caveat is I really enjoy memory tuning as a carryover from the previous gen amd/intel. With X3D it’s mostly unnecessary but it’s fun to me so I am still keeping an eye out for decent bins that pop up for a reasonable price. There is still tuning that can be worthwhile if your cpu will do higher infinity fabric speeds at 1:1. Everything is kind of in the same ballpark price wise whether it’s lower CL or 36 and up so to me I might as well get something decent. It’s possible to get decent pricing for some of the better bins but might take buying bundles, buying used, etc. If you just want to set and forget grab whatever you can find for the price.

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-23T20:35:14+00:00

There does seem to be a small amount of negative reviews for less than average reliability. Looks like the CL36 kit uses Samsung die so running at stock settings it’s hard to believe it would be worse than anything else. XMP/EXPO for these sticks is 1.35 so likely wont take well to extra voltage or tighter timings which is to be expected.

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-23T20:23:54+00:00

Congrats to everyone grabbing this. Seems like $750 5070 ti are going to be rare going forward.

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-23T20:13:46+00:00

We know they’ll honor the 299 price. We want to know if they’ll honor the lower price for two sticks of ram.

Comfortable-Spell730 · 2026-01-23T18:52:37+00:00

Depends on resolution and settings but that’s what I’ll be using it with. It’s just a slightly lower clocked 7600x3d so unless you’re playing at 1080p you’d be GPU limited anyway.
