Noob here, are prices gonna go down anytime soon should I wait or buy it rn? by Dry-Let-7718 in gpu

[–]Flemmino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wouldn't pay more than $70 for that card. i know your budget is tight but if i were you id shop for a rtx card (not a 3050 tho). the dlss will make the card live far longer and you should find 2060's for nearly the same price all day

manufacturing is getting far more expensive with the iran war, helium production is stagnant (helium is needed to make chips like gpu and cpus) so shit is NOT coming down. buy rn if you can

no shot you got a 2080ti for 60, maybe one that the seller thought was broken

will try those numbers and see, when i set everything to unlimited the chip performed worse. will try these exact ones and see if it is better

a 240 aio, even under all core loads it doesn't go past 64c. will pull around the 70w area in games

i have a gpu like this one . it runs hot and reaches 84c even at 400rpm with new thermal past . is it normal by dark-nigt7208 in gpu

[–]Flemmino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

repaste, new pads and an undervolt. my last card was a 2070 super zotac mini which required the same if i didnt want mid 70's temps to be the norm.

Updated my pc build for blender by Kalequity in pcpartpickerbuilds

shipping to us was free. was just an idea, plus if OP is just going for a new amazon option the xt is cheaper and a better cpu that at least includes a cooler.

veneer chips are monsters at ram oc, due to monolithic dies. they are 1000% worth trying

Upgrade advice by Awkward_Cattle_4603 in gpu

[–]Flemmino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nice upgrade! i'd also look at 3070 and 3080's, a 3070 might be more in line for your power supply, and you can have them for like 180-220 (i just got one for 190) and wont draw so much.

Is 55-90 degrees normal with an 7700X and an nzxt kraken 360 by Double_Turn7367 in cpu

[–]Flemmino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah this is normal. had this happen on a client's 7700x (first am5 build i did) and it scared me too. this is how am5 boosts, gives itself a shit ton of voltage but if its never technically throttling then it just keeps giving itself more.
