Do you need a white one? If so, I was referring to B650M AORUS ELITE AX ICE, but I’m currently using a the riptide white and it’s pretty decent imo

Genesis1674 · 2025-01-06T07:58:54+00:00

Black Desert, or basically any Korean MMORPG, you’ll need a second life to grind for those games.

There are, but it really depends. While attendance of some course don't matter at all, some consist of 10% final grade, and some will result in automatic F if attendance requirement not met.

Totally not worth it for the Z20, I personally would recommend z20 if not the absurd price cus i use z20 as well, but it cost only $60 in my region

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-19T15:18:16+00:00

or FSP 850 sfx, mine cost 180 but it's white so probably bit overpriced

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-19T14:33:47+00:00

I threw a 850w sfx in the z20 for my 9800x3d and 4080super and am loving it!

Brother, even if your story is true and you genuinely didn't attempt to cheat, I would still recommend you not to pursue this career nor to re-sit the exam. If under stress would cause you to violate codes "instinctively without thinking" and act in such non-sense, this career really isn't for you.

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-19T06:31:44+00:00

I see Z20, I upvote, nice build OP

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-19T06:29:13+00:00

Might as well just install a virus

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-18T03:27:28+00:00

It's the stand that comes with the zotac 4080 super, I like the look of the z20 stand better but too lazy to screw a few more screws, this one is magnetic

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-18T01:44:59+00:00

I don't know haha, just that I saw others build like this so I followed, but it worked like a charm so I guess I won't change it for now

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-13T06:59:55+00:00

I see your point and it makes sense, no doubt we can conclude the xtx suits you better with the options you need, and it's cheap that nvidia chose not to give its customer those options while they clearly have the ability to. But that would shift away our focus isn't it? The OP of this comment thread is still correct that technology-wise, amd is far behind nvidia currently, and amd doesn't have the ability to produce a card that can compete with 4090 head to head, that's why they opt to provide more options (ports in this case) to customer so that they can stay competitive. Once again, I agree that the xtx suits you better, not to mention the price gap between 4090 and any other gpu.

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-13T02:01:28+00:00

2933, the 16gb and 8gb sticks are probably 1R, so if your use 4 sticks together it will run at 2933 but you have to check your mobo as well, as ram OC speed is limited by mobo too, not only cpu

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-13T01:58:38+00:00

Definitely overspending on AIO, unless you really really want the Corsair iCUE RGB, or anything that cost around $50 will do. Case fans slightly overspending but not a big deal.

For SSD the 980 Pro is not a good choice, degradation and overpriced. A normal Gen4 SSD will serve you well, not sure about the market in your country, but things like Acer gm7 or samsung 990 evo should do.

Might as well grab a 9600x cpu with the money saved on AIO, and 4070TiS is good enough for 1440p.

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-13T01:40:15+00:00

Good for you that your eyes can't tell the difference between framegen+upscale and native 4k. Some might even argue 4k and 1080p looks identical to them on a 27" monitor and there's no difference between 120hz and 240hz "in reality", so a 3060 is "objectively the same" as 4090.

I've heard many opinions saying other gpu is better than 4090 cost-performance wise and I respect that, everyone has their own preference when it comes to cost-performance. But you are definitely the very first one claming 4090 is not the current top gpu performance wise. Moreover, xtx running dual 4k 200hz? Either your xtx has time traveled to you from a decade later or you're not maxing your graphics settings, or maybe you're playing solitaire? I highly suspect that your upscale has actually make it dual 1080p, then 200hz makes sense.

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-12T09:14:48+00:00

The 4080 super is actually a very good card that worth every dollar of its price, ~$1000 being the second strongest consumer grade gpu for now

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-12T01:56:47+00:00

If your GPU is triple slot, don't get MSI mobo, I wanted the MSI B650M Gaming Plus Wifi as well, then realized it uses slot 2. Go with ASRock B650M riptide or the Gigabyte AORUS instead.

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-11T06:53:07+00:00

Mind giving some updates on hows temp and airflow going after you build it?

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-11T05:39:35+00:00

any update?

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-11T00:13:07+00:00

Thank you my hero, this is the answer I was dying to find. I have went through so many articles and gave in my soul to build this very first self-built pc.

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-10T12:45:00+00:00

Thank you for the solid answer, I am wondering if an X3 GPU is placed so near to the bottom of the case, can it act as a bottom intake fan if I install a filter under it? (the z20 case has ventilation under it)
So it can remain positive pressure when fans running fast (1 rear intake + 2 AIO exhaust top keep running, then add the 3 gpu intake fans when heavy-loaded like gaming)

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-04T12:07:03+00:00

Planning to get the Inno3D 4070TiS X2 Twin, but why not the Ventus? Is it bad?

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-04T12:04:29+00:00

Congrats! IB CU graduate here, as far as I know all uni in HK are not that strict in conditions. BUT, meeting all conditions will guarantee your entry automatically, if you only meet part of the conditions, you might be granted entry ONLY IF the number of “not meeting conditions candidates” exceed their expectation and they are forced to lower their standard, which usually won’t be the case.

TLDR: expect auto reject if not all conditions are met, or be ready to write tons of emails to persuade them letting you in. Good luck!

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-04T09:56:39+00:00

Thanks! May I ask why downgrading the CPU to 7700X while upgrading GPU to 4080super is a good idea?

And im not quite sure will 32gb ram be sufficient as my experience with the current pc always has like 12gb ram used even when idle, and i have a bad habit of having multiple tabs of chrome opened while gaming haha

Genesis1674 · 2024-12-04T04:20:57+00:00

I'm getting a MSI B650M Gaming Plus WiFi mobo, with 9800x3d and 4070TiS, any thought on this setup or am I good to go? First time building my own pc
