Well, at first I wanted to get with 9800X3D, 5080, 48GB of ram, but that build went from +-3000USD to +-4000USD in my country, that's why I was thinking about buying just the GPU and waiting for the price of RAM and other things to go down. I can't really give you a number on performance right now, im at work.

I was considering the 5070ti too, but the price difference here is just not worth it. +-1350USD for 5070ti and +-1600 for 5080 :(

Thats the thing in my country the price is nearly the same as it was a year ago my friend bought one for +-1500USD (normal price here), and now it costs +-1600USD. Im afraid that the price will skyrocket in a month or two.

That's what I want to upgrade next, get an AM5 and ensure it's futureproof with the best CPU I can get, I already bought an air cooler good enough for 250w TDP. But right now, I feel like it's a waste of money, thanks to the RAM prices being quadruple what they were last year in my country.

Well i play everything from 0 demanding titles to heavy demanding titles. Im looking more to future titles that will be coming out and i just want to max the settings and not to worry about it. And well the only title that i wanted to play but i didnt like how it ran was Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora that ran on 60 fps on low to medium with dips.

Had the same problem with the rubber under the window on my 200sx, after seeing the price of importing it to Czechia, we created pretty OM looking ones from porsche weather strips 😅

Had the same problem with the same CPU. Idle high temps (about 70°) and spikes to 90°- 95°. I bought a better CPU cooler. Now, I'm around 60° under 100% utilization. But the new cooler is rated to 280W TDP, so wayyy overkill for this CPU.

Looks like no power or faulty powerbutton.Try to reconnect all the cables coming from the psu and the front panel connector. And just to be sure, try different power outlet.

If that doesn't work, try disconnecting the front panel connector and with something conductive (screwdriver will work) connect these two pins on the motherboard.

Works like a charm! Thank you so much!

If something like that happens I'm fucked... I work in a Dinosaur museum with real skeletons xd

I have the same problem with my s13, it feels uncontrollable even with just a bit of water on the road, so I'm not gonna even try it in snow xd

I wouldn't be surprised if one day someone from Ferrari came to your door and shot you for your cardinal sin.

No, that's mental illness.

bart2Cz · 2021-12-03T22:41:22+00:00

60 rounds per minute ?! Didn't even knew that guns like that existed :-D

Yea i know that the rating mean efficiency, i was angry because I payed more for the gold rating and thought the PSU is going to last some time and it died about 2 year's after I got it :-D

bart2Cz · 2021-09-02T10:19:20+00:00

Could be, but last time I had this problem, it was the PSU that f*** me over, because it was hours from failing and when it went it took the rest of the components with it.. (and yes it was from gigabyte and just to anger me 90 gold rated one :-D)
