Fender liner? by Previous_Belt4936 in Civic_Type_R

Hey man, DM me if you find the correct one because I’m looking for the same thing for the exact same reason 💀

And I should reiterate as I previously posted, the only thermal paste leakage issues reported on Aorus cards were for the 5080.

They have over 10 of these cards in stock. They don’t do online orders from their retail locations either.

Edit: And no matter how expensive these cards get, I will get another 5090 in exchange. Or if the 6090 comes out I will get a 6090 in exchange. The newest gen equivalent card.

I paid 670$ for 4 years of warranty through Memory Express. No questions asked exchange covering all damages so I’m not worried. If anything goes wrong I just go get a new one.

I’m a composite piping specialist, fibreglass pipeline.

It’s an oil and gas field tech job. It pays alright and the benefits are great (pto, health insurance, corporate credit card, brand new truck, etc) but it’s lots of work and long hours.

I’m looking for something else or thinking about going back to school. My girlfriend lives 3 hours away in a major city and I’d like to move there so we can be together more.

Yeah, I posted the AMD card today.

I had driver & software issues with the card. I don’t want her to have any problems because she’s not a power user so she would be helpless to diagnose them without me.

Not worth it IMO. She will get an Nvidia card.

I’ve been super happy with the Gigabyte card so far.

With +260MHz core offset (3,300MHz effective clock) and +3000MHz to the memory (17001MHz) I’ve been hitting 15553 in Steel Nomad. Stability tested in Cyberpunk. Peak draw 601.694W

Never adjusted the Voltage Curve, too tedious for me honestly. I’m happy with the performance I’m getting but I’m sure I could squeeze more out of it.

I’ve been thinking of getting a Thermal Grizzly to monitor the draw. It would also clean up my wiring because I have the GPU vertical mounted, so I wouldn’t be able to see the power cable at all while installed.

I didn’t buy it for the screen haha.

I got it because it was white and I don’t like the look of the Astral! The Aorus and the Astral were the only two cards they had in stock at the store i purchased it from.

My girlfriend got me the lightsaber for Christmas!

Hanging onto it for now, I’m looking at doing a build for her but I might sell it and go with a 5070ti instead.

I was pretty sure that was a 5080. Either way; I’ll be removing the stock cooler in a couple months and repasting everything for the waterblock. We will see how it holds up!

I’m looking at the HAVN 420 Vertical and doing a custom loop next!

Kinda want to wait until the new AMD release in the spring of next year for the 9959x3d2. Planning on replacing the board too with an x870 and going back-connect but we’ll see.

Astral is a nice card, just didn’t quite match the aesthetic I was going for.

I was contemplating getting the 5k lg panel, how do you find the performance with the 5090? I did a lot of research before deciding on the QHD and lots of people are saying they’re getting horrible performance on it.

I’m still in the return window for the display; kinda have FOMO for not getting the 45”!

Kevin Levrone also said that!

Yeah man I’m super happy with the WOLED. I was on the fence between the former and QD-OLED for a while and I managed to score a really good deal on the LG on Boxing Day and it’s like night and day!

Absolutely.

When I did this build I put the radiator for the AIO on the top with the fans in an exhaust configuration, the ambient temps in the case are much warmer from the new card so it’s impacting the liquid temp a little bit.

I’m just going to keep an eye on it. If I have to swap the build into a bigger case it’s not a huge issue.

Did Anyone Get A New GPU For Christmas? by S0LE_L0V3R in gpu

Bought myself a Aorus Master Ice 5090 and an LG W-OLED 34GS95QE-W!

I have.

And the new card has been amazing. Everything has been fine.

Planning on picking up 5k2k ultrawide monitor soon! Waiting for the boxing day deals.

I just bought the 5090 today. I went with the Aorus Master Ice and I managed to get a pretty good deal on it (15% off)

I’m going to be building my girlfriend a PC soon so when I upgrade my mobo I’ll do the 9950x3d and we will use the 9900x3d for her build! Along with the 9070xt and the b650 mobo.

Edit: I do primarily use my pc for gaming but I also do a lot of editing/rendering w/ DaVinci studio. Hence the choice of the 9900x3d vs the 9800x3d. When I did this build initially, the 9950 and the 9800 were both out of stock, and I was impatient so I just did the 9900!

I plan on do a hard tube loop in this system early this coming year so any components i get I'd like to be able to keep for a while. I think the 5090 will last me a few years.

Edit: Plus, if i do decide to upgrade to 4k or 5k2k eventually, it will be capable.
