    If your tank loses aggro, there's not much you can be doing as a healer besides pretending to tank it while spamming heals on yourself.

    I think some people might be missing some leveling (usually 30 people on)...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    I've upgraded the top fans to the 30mm Phanteks and moved the pump back to clean up that front piping. But if I need to service anything, two QD releases and the board can come out.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    I think somebody still makes distro blocks (not those plexi plates) that you can thread a bunch of QDs into to simplify stuff. But most consumer stuff isn't using SLI anymore since it's fundamentally dead at that level.

    A multi dollar company production. I left the house to quickly work out and luckily came back to myself at the character select screen. I am excited to see how completely fucked Benediction queues get.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    My 5950 has been perfectly stable outside of the brief couple of days I used some cablemods cables for my GPU and they clearly didn't fit correctly and would cause power loss when bumping my desk that forced a system restart. Figured that out real quick. I thankfully had no wake from sleep USB...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    I'm using soft tubing with a pair of quick disconnects that isolate the CPU/GPU blocks from the pump and radiators. Pulling the system out is really easy for me. The only thing I should have also done was put a 45 degree or something fitting on the GPU or CPU block so I could easily separate...

    I turned in all that shit for the gold (I spent my time grinding out 2 sets of pvp gear though :/ ). I'm just going to level normally like a casual scrub.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I'd wait to decide on the GPU at least. And if you're gaming and can wait on the CPU, maybe they'll put out a X3D part eventually. But if you're on like first gen ryzen or intel 9th series, I'd probably be more inclined to upgrade now.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    We're just hitting the limits of size for fin space and these usually terrible fans they stick on these things. I'd have expected them to at least gone to 25mm fans to improve static pressure and airflow but apparently they just added more metal and re-used the same thin mediocre fans they were...

    But it's also just the cooler that is causing the size increase. The actual PCB on these things can be tiny once you're not trying to attach an air cooler to them that can handle the potential heat load.

    It's so much fun trying to hit the lock correctly on my current board (it's fucking terrible).

    Corsair refuses to make any SFX-L psus, so I'm stuck with a 750 from them at the moment. Otherwise I can get a Silverstone SFX-L but I'm concerned about the quality of the thing. Also really need ATX 3.0 to start showing up.

    So, when do we get ATX 3.0 PSUs though?

    Get HWinfo, MSI afterburner, and Rivatuner, you can get onscreen data for CPU/GPU usage while gaming. What I have for example, green is GPU (temp, usage, mem), red is CPU (temp, overall usage, highest core usage, mem, highest core clock), blue is water temp.

    Always check below the Buy Now button to see who it's coming from. The EVGA store link under the product description is useless generally. It's not where the product might actually be fulfilled from.

    And we also don't have the prior gen (RTX 20X0) being bought out to fuel crypto and instead have a flood of basement priced RTX 30X0 in the market as they attempt to dump before releasing 40X0 series.

    Yep, I'd hold off for the potential X3D cpu.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Just wait for the GPUs and see what performance gain that is. A new CPU of the next generation is never a big enough improvement to make sense.
