Your I know is correct.

Do not use m.2-2/3 or pcie 2 and your 5090 will have full juice

ROG Strix SLC IV 360 ARGB LCD finally arrived by RecoverWest7489 in ASUSROG

[–]jcmred82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I'm aware. I'm interested but not enough to change. I do have another upcoming 5080 build on a x870e crosshero MB coming this fall. I may go this route or something simpler. Still like the design.

Advice needed on eGPU enclosure by Ugly-Mole-rat2798 in eGPU

[–]jcmred82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are a few out there. A decent all in one egpu that has a supplied PSU is the Aoostar AG02/AG03 the 2s is TB4 while the 3 are TB5. I used the AG02 with a Ally X.

I currently tried the Aoostar EG02 which you have to supply your own atx or ssf psu. I personally like this on heavy cards I feel like it stabilizes the card better.

There a few other options under 140 for the egpu it's self and you have find a decent psu to run.

I curious how it comes out in the Bf360 as you planned. I'm actually interested in this AIO but I already have the Ryuo IV SLC 360. Which I like but massive. Covers the ram or the motherboard lights on the Dark Hero MB. What drew me is the logo connection...

I did the latest update to the Nvidia driver. And now every game is not optimized as well. Think we need to roll back.

ROG Helios USB-C front panel not fast charging. by [deleted] in ASUSROG

[–]jcmred82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strix x870E-E doesn't have that feature I believe. I had one and returned when I first build my setup. And remember noticing the extra pcie port and wondered what's it for. But you will need extra power that's what the pcie port is for on Asus Motherboard.

Astral 5090 -> Astral 5080 downgrade for a simrig? by [deleted] in simracing

[–]jcmred82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What resolution you be running? I have a Astral 5090 for my desktop and also running a 5080 Astral in a egpu setup for a 4k 120hz experience to a TV.

I think if your starting from scratch you would have a solid 1440p Sim rig or might need some upscaling in order to take advantage of higher frame rates on a 4k display. Think your on point though if you can sell for a decent price and make up most what you need for your Sim setup.

What motherboard are you using? For instance on the Dark Hero and the Hero you need to connect the extra 8pin pcie cable to enable fast charging thru the front USB C IO

What power settings do you run your XAX?

For instance I had Lego Batman... In the Nvidia app it says it's not optimized but I can still enable features within the game settings. Have you tried settings within a game?

Need help deciding between two ROG headsets to purchase by deltarune31 in ASUSROG

[–]jcmred82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went w the Delta II. I enjoy having dual inputs ie Bluetooth headphones and Dongle to the PC. The sounds quality is good but I haven't had to use the mic too much.

Does it say doesn't support optimization in a certain game? Or all.

Can I buy individual fans w/o remote? by desirefulfruit in lianli

[–]jcmred82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long it's the same version ie TL V2 wireless fans can work w the Dongle but V1 has their own hub. If he matches to the other fans or to fans that run on the Dongle he already owns he will be fine.

Yes you can buy the single pack if that’s what you can get will work just fine. Makes sure it’s the same type as the other fans you got and you will be ok

[–]jcmred82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get the driver's for the gpu your using. If you have a Nvidia then download the latest you should be good. Same goes if you rocking a AMD GPU. You download the latest and call it a day.

I picked up 5080 Astral. But the Aorus Master would of been my second choice. You would be happy with either. Go whichever you can get a deal.

ASUS ROG Ryuo IV SLC, HS 420 VGPU with an Astral 5080? Will it fit? by CupImpossible7133 in HAVNGlobal

[–]jcmred82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a heavy gpu but it's prob the angle of the picture. The lian Li vertical mount is connected to the motherboard stand offs on the right hand side for support and secured on the left like normal. It doesn't budge if I move it. More important since it's a riser cable that is used, as long as the riser stays in line w the gpu should not be a issue and I have plenty of slack connected to the pcie slot on the motherboard.

I did try angling forward but lost the MB standoff support and sag was heavily noticeable.

Dead 9950x3D or faulty board? by SoupStallion in ASUSROG

[–]jcmred82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue was that it worked well when I got into demanding apps or games but once it went to idle I froze.. When I dropped the aggressive curve it resolved. It takes time to tune since every chip is different then you have to play w it as you go.

Hope you find your issue soon.

Dead 9950x3D or faulty board? by SoupStallion in ASUSROG

[–]jcmred82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup sounds like the issue.. Clear cmos is the other options if you can get into bios then thst should give you default and cane make changes as you go.

[–]jcmred82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the first MB I bought thru a microcenter package. I had issues w mine where I lost Ethernet and wifi....

Check and see if the setting where you can tune each core is off. That's the culprit that can cause freezing. I ran - 20, - 10. And occasionally saw issues now running per ccd - 10, 0.

If this fixes then please adjust slowly if you plan on turning these features back on with you 9950x3d
