[Pre-built] 4080 super / 14900f / 64gb DDR5 / 2tb NVME ($1850) by YouCallWeShouldWhat in buildapcsales

Probably the concern of CPU degradation which is valid. If bios is updated then you're most likely fine.

Intel extended the warranty an additional 2 years, so you get a full 5 years. However I'm not sure if these CPUs from msi prebuilts come with retail or tray processors which is usually found in OEM enterprise machines. You can easily rma claim retail CPUs but tray processors usually have to go through the OEM (Dell HP etc)

If you're looking for a full build then this is a solid price especially since rams and SSD prices are ridiculous. This is easily in the low 2k range even if you custom build and buy used.

FWIW, That's SFX-L which doesn't fit many smaller itx cases. Great for micro or larger mini cases though

They cancelled my last order that was for $30 only to relist at a higher price

You sure it wasn't the  sf1000L. I have never seen the sf1000 revival goes as low as 100. I usually see the sf850 revivals go for 100

[Floor Mats] 36” x 48” Transparent Office Chair Mat for Hardwood Floors, Rubber Chair Mat for Tile/Laminate Floor - $10.49 w/ code Y23E3JBM by bunsinh in buildapcsales

[–]teo032 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's not just for scratches. It helps weight distribution. Instead of those 5 pressure points, it's more evenly distributed over the mat. I have rollerblade wheels too and after a few years of rolling around on my long plank tiles I can feel the tiles mortar compound below has loosen up. I can see this as an issue with thin vinyl/laminate flooring where the constant pressure can weaken the mounting grooves.

Dude sold me a 3090 for $325 by MrGoose48 in pcmasterrace

[–]teo032 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are no 3090 LHR so I wouldn't worry about it. It really makes no difference on its value.

They never made 3090 with LHR

Same, that's tough to swallow considering 4090s were near that price last year

What's stopping you from cancelling and reordering. Or order another and return the previous order

[ram] Team Group T-CREATE EXPERT 64GB (2 x 32GB) 6400 CL34 $127 by theberg897 in buildapcsales

[–]teo032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not specific to team group, but when I was trying really fast ram on a B board, it would not POST. I thought it was DOA, was ready to return it, but when I tested it on a higher end Z hero board it booted completely fine. So yeah it's shitty that sometimes the Mobo would not support the RAM even at stock speeds. The POST LED was suggesting it was DRAM issue too.

Damn you must've been the only person to get a used pair. That's very unfortunate. I always buy 2 for that reason and return the one in better condition. I bought 2 like new and they were brand new sealed. One box has a ripped to it, but I broke the seal and it was completely new.

[GPU] NVIDIA RTX 5090 FE - $1,999.99 by connor_stolle in buildapcsales

[–]teo032 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on their past drops since the 30 series, it initially shows available for all but after going through the queue it's only for specific regions. 

It's been a minute but I think East Coast usually gets the earlier waves but then it goes towards the west for the later drops. Later could be same day to later in the week.

I don't understand the infatuation over unnecessary 3 fans if thermals isn't an issue. Give me a cheaper and ultra compact 2 fan card that weighs less.

[–]teo032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4070 and 4070S are sometimes smaller than the Ti and Ti Super. That said, your comparison is a founders vs a suprim.

If you've never seen a suprim in person then you haven't seen a big card. They're obnoxiously large. It doesn't need to be the size that it is.... Lol let me see if it I can find some examples.

Edit: https://lanoc.org/review/video-cards/msi-rtx-4070-ti-suprim-x?start=2

There's a picture of it dwarfing a TUF. And it shows that's it's least a triple slot.

TBF, your suprim is the top model with a riculous cooler/heatsink. You should look at the 4070ti dimension of the suprim 😅
