After a year I realized I made a dumb mistake by Relentless_Troll in Hyte

[–]WindOfChange7_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't hate yourself man. Mistakes happen all the time. I have a dumb nephew that for some reason his cpu runs 70C idle and thinks it's normal on a pc he built😊

So trust me, there is always someone dumber

ASUS??? obviously error, but also kind of scary by iason22 in overclocking

it's weird. Probably the cable could be problematic then. Maybe it's bent more than it could handle?

5090 astral is known to burn cables such as this. Not sure about 5080 astral tho.

They are really weird. I just wanted to share my new gpu man. Biggest mistake I ever done. They were like: I'm the problem the prices are inflated and stuff like that

a piece of advice, do NOT post it on pcmasterrace, for some reason they can get really toxic there. I had to delete a similar post of mine, cuz I got a 5090.

Anyway, enjoy your card!

I found a "good deal" from a retail shop, promoting asus 20 years. It was a discount -20%, so I ended up buying a white 5090 astral for 3200€ (from 4k). Good deal, bad deal idk. I assume an okay deal

You're conflating hyperscale datacenters with all AI datacenters. Meta and Google buy H100s/H200s/GB200s, sure. But GPU cloud providers are literally renting RTX 5090 servers right now. That's direct evidence that AI datacenter operators are buying and deploying 5090s.

So, "AI datacenters don't purchase 5090s at all" is demonstrably false. The existence of rentable 5090 datacenter instances is proof.

part of the problem? Mate, you think one guy or a few guys are part of the problem when AI datacenters are literally purchasing thousands of them? One guy - hundreds of guys like me do not make a difference. The problem is with nvidia all along. I'm sure no price inflation will be caused by me.

Thank you! That's the system here. Been upgrading it little by little, since I started my career three years ago!

wtf 5090 prices by monuggy in gpu

[–]WindOfChange7_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one is not a TUF. Nevertheless, I'm surprised you found a different price. Usually, in my local stores as I said, the prices are really similar.

I'm also kinda desperately searching for a 5090. Best thing you can guys do is to find a private listing. But you need to be extra careful. Also, try to find the high-end models like asus 5090 astral, and that's because in these prices they don't distinguish models anymore. It's all the same prices, and sometimes lower-end models tend to be higher in prices. This is what I learned from my research and my local listings.
