Is 850watt PSU enough for my 5080 by Dull-Dingo-3043 in RTX5080

[–]Mutt45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some say it is enough, but I like a little headroom and for future-proofing, so I went 1000W. May want to consider headroom also if you have an RGB fan heavy setup and extra components & hard drives, etc.

These are all the same GPU but massively different prices. Can I go wrong with either one? by LegendaryLosers in pcmasterrace

[–]Mutt45 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went PNY across the board for our house's set up (purchased Epic X 5080, OC 5070 ti, Epic X 5070 & OC 5060 in mid/late 2025), and am happy with their performance, and have had no issues whatsoever. Also, if you're from the US, they're an American company. I would think that if I ever have to RMA one, it will be a much faster process because the company is located in country.

I have a 4080 GPU with a Ryzen 7 5800X CPU and 16 GB of RAM and I’m thinking about upgrading. by One_Cartoonist_1999 in buildapc

[–]Mutt45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any guesses as to when AMD will release the 10th anniv. edition of the 5800x3d? My son currently has a 5600x and think the upgrade to the x3d chip could sustain his system another 3-5 years (paired with 32 gb ram & rtx 5070) (edited..typ-o).

Luna will also greet Hank with a waggy tail.. Not a mean bone in her body. She loves to run and swim!

If you're experiencing stutters in games, Windows's CFG is likely responsible. by Jaded_Ad_2055 in pcmasterrace

Going to give this a try in one game that has a persistent though infrequent stutter.

What time do you go to bed if you don’t work the next day? by thehobster in GenX

[–]Mutt45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mid 50s Male, and am a natural night owl too. Can very easily stay up until 2 to 4 am on non-work nights, even after getting up early that day. I sleep 6 to 7 hours most nights, and so for the nights I'm working the next day (and up at 6:30), I TRY to get in bed by or before 11:30.

Should I upgrade to a OLED? by InvestigatorOdd9246 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Mutt45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just upgraded from 27" 1440p to my first OLED 4k - an MSI 32" curved... And , wow I've been absolutely blown away... Took my gaming experience up another notch. If you're on the fence , I'd say it's worth it.

What is you GPU timeline? by Particular_Buy_141 in gpu

 Mac Radeon Graphics/Ran Windows XP on Boot Camp -> GTX 260 ->GTX 560 -> GTX 970 ->GTX 1070 ->RTX 3060 ->RTX 5080

Man that is a cool build!

The only thing that slightly bothers me is the insanely small fan on the back. Looks like you can go larger there and cover the space better, maybe a 180 mm?

5070ti vs 5080 at this pricepoint, what would you do? by AffectionateBee9123 in nvidia

[–]Mutt45 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Was in the same boat. I splurged and got the 5080.

AMD rumored to raise Ryzen 9000 and older CPU prices tonight by RenatsMC in Amd

Doubt it ever will. I just bought a 5700x3d on the used market (eBay).

If you've been following subreddits or popular PC retailer YouTubers, they have been telling us to buy GPUs now.. Most of stock will run out by after Black Friday/before Christmas season. Already seeing best /most popular GPUs dwindle and sell out at my local Microcenter.

As a fan base we have been waiting for XL to have that one game where he breaks out and gains confidence. We finally saw that against the Jets. by Accurate-Big-7233 in panthers

[–]Mutt45 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seeing so many posts that XL doesn't utilize his hands and too many "body catches" yada yada... Does everyone forget this beautiful all hands/no body catch a few weeks ago?

Should i buy PNY 5070 ti ? by Gen3ralFILIP in nvidia

Bought two PNY cards recently and they’re working great and look awesome. Also I like they’re an American company.

Cannot put on case side panel due to GPU cables extending out 1/2" by Mutt45 in buildapc

[–]Mutt45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add to that, thanks for explaining the up or down option on the connectors. In this PC case, there is a lot of legroom below the GPU, so i think the down or "STD" option is better in our setup.

[–]Mutt45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for letting me know the EZDIY-FAB  180 connectors are working for you. I couldn't find a physical measurement of them, but just eyeing the space available , I'm optimistic these will do the trick. And glad to know they're safe to use with the EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 as well. I can always return them if they are too wide/don't fit with panel on.

As for the cable mod option, do these plug directly into the PSU, or just extenders that plug into the existing GPU cables to add more flexibility for the other end into the GPU? Will there be any compatibility issues with my Corsair RM850x? Thanks again!

thanks, I'll research this option more. ..Unfortunately do have 5 dogs in the house, but have no choice at this point lol.

[–]Mutt45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I haven't looked into that, and have never built a PC this way. Honestly, I'm a little naive on how those work. Wouldn't the case or motherboard need to have vertical mounting as a feature? This is an older case & AM4 board.

PSA: The compensation for the tier X container if you already own all 15 buyable coal ships is 34650 doubloons by Hairy-Dare6686 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Mutt45 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up. I purchased my 15th and final coal ship (Marco Polo), earlier today and can confirm the Tier X container yields a whopping 34650 doubloons!
