yeah.Any guidance on buying a used GPU that was used for mining?
I have an offer for a GTX1080 that ran 6 months at 65% power limit, not sure what to make of it.

Damn. That Dr Zaber case is exactly what I'm looking for. I imagine it will be out of my price range though unfortunately.
Is anyone else really freaked out by this?
The infinity fabric is just sucking down juice even in low load situations. It takes 10 threads before the cores take up more power than the freaking interconnect.
At least GPU and SSD prices have come back down recently.

The ones now sold through SFF LAB? Yeah pretty expensive considering that they come pretty bare bones (pcie risers are extra?) while things like the InWin A1 comes with a power supply. But Products made in small volumes can't compete in price with mainstream brands.
Dr. Zaber are doing a new version of their case, but who knows when that will be available.
Maybe some idiot like me will upgrade,from an older revision? I adore the case.
Also, I found the new thread. Not losing me that easy people.
I just ordered a zs-a4dc (3.9L) from superbuy.
I'm scared. It's tiny.
If you're buying the 2990WX though I don't think it really matters. Presumably you're buying it because you're a professional and the savings in time more than offsets the extra CPU costs, including power consumption. But yeah, you don't want to be using this to just fart around on your desktop.Is anyone else really freaked out by this?

Yeah, the 2990WX and probably 2970WX are looking like very niche market stuff. Anything that is memory-intensive runs barely above (or in some cases, on-par or even below) the 2950X. The power needed just to maintain the chips on idle due to the interconnect between the two CCXs that don't have direct memory access is crazy high, literally more than running most consumer-level chips on idle.
I think the rumors (maybe based on nothing?) place the 9900k around $450. I think at that price I'd replace my 6700k.The memory access shouldn't be too bad, the CCX interconnect is good for full dual channel bandwidth between each die. The main problem seems to be L3 cache bandwidth between CCXs. It's limited to dual channel speed of the DDR4 IMC while the Intel mesh runs at the full L3 cache speed. But then Intel is still ridiculously expensive compared to AMD because they know they have ST performance in the bag and if you don't respect CCX affinity performance plummets. I'm not looking forward to a $499 i9-9900K knowing the 2700X is so cheap down at $330.

That would be a really nice upgrade for you. Mine I can maybe justify because I have a couple family members that would benefit from a more modern CPU.. the old hand-me-down justification for new tech, right? lolI'm barely hanging on with my 4670K. I almost jumped at the 8086K because of the novelty of it but I wanted to wait for Intel's 8/16.

I've been trying to convince my wife to let me upgrade her office-use PC for literally no reason... my wife leaves town this weekend to visit family, and I'm now sitting looking at her i3-3220 and I've got like two extra cases, a dozen fans, maybe half-dozen storage drives, two extra PSUs, a 1920X Threadripper, and like 64 GB of RAM spread across six DIMMs and I have no idea what I'm doing with my life or what will happen to her PC and/or my PC by the time she gets back.
That family thing.. I now have a 3570K system (sans GPU) that I don't know what to do with. It's fallen off the last close family member's use b/c of a recent upgrade cycle.
That sounds like a fun weekend. I recently injured my back, so for the foreseeable future I'll be wearing a back brace when working on PC's and I'm not supposed to hunch over as one often does when installing components... but I still have the itch.
The injury opens new interests though, so just bought a uber office chair and am shopping for the desks that convert from sitting to standing, and trying to figure out if one of these https://www.relaxtheback.com/ergotron-l35-desk.html could possibly work with my 34" monitor and a VESA mount, or if I need to go all-in with the new desk. It's amazing how pain opens the wallet.
If I can't make that monitor situation work I am also considering gifting my monitor to the wife for work purposes. She does huge spreadsheets and it would make life good for her.
So I'm doing a full refresh whenever the next nvidia card launches since I have a pretty old cpu(i53570K) and I want to reach 4k and/or steadier framerates in cpu heavy games like MHW more regularly. I don't really know much about tech so should I get gddr4 ram? Will there be a better cpu than the high end one listed in the OP or something coming soon that I should wait on that front since I had the last one for 6 years? Thanks!
Also thanks to Smokey for the hot 980ti deal when I bought his a few years back on gaf lol.
Yo, if you end up pulling up a lot of info about chairs/desks and want to format it into something for the OP (even in the form of a Google Doc), it'd be a great addition. We have very little info on chairs/keyboards/mice/monitors/desks and I'd like to fill it in at some point. Just a thought if you have time and are interested, but no pressure! Hope your injury heals quickly, and good luck with the desk shopping.

Been watching so many of these tech YouTubers lately, I find it interesting seeing who got send a 2990WX, and who got the 2950X. Seems like mostly only written publications go both.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI9sMfWmCsk
Benchmarks for the 32C/64T Threadripper 2990WX are out! It's really NOT a gaming CPU, but it's fun to see what a big chip like this can do. I won't spoil the results, but I was quite surprised by a lot of the non-gaming benchmarks.

Hrm after reading a few, that 1950X looks pretty good. I was perhaps hoping for too much from the 2950X.
So I've been considering upgrading my 2500K from 2012 for the past few weeks, been eyeing the i5 8400 which seems like the best processor for gaming at the moment but I wanted to ask if perhaps there was something better coming on the horizon?
Currently I can only get as high as 74hz but in the future I might make the jump to a 100hz or even a 144hz panel, should I be considering a 8600k or even a 8700k instead?
Soda , what do you do for a living that allows you to build so many PCs? Do you make YouTube videos?
I would bet that if the GTX1060 drops in price after the new nvidia cards, even if not officially but just by stores reacting to demand, then the Rx580 will make sure to stay lower.Is the RX 580 going to decrease further in price than it currently is?
It finally returned to somewhat to MRSP here in Canada (~$349) since the crypto-currency boom has subsided a bit.
RX Vega 56 is another card I was looking at, but that one is currently ~$630, which is a steep increase from the 580.
I'm only gonna be gaming in 1080p, so currently leaning towards the 580.
Either one would be a substantial updrage over my R9 280x, lol
Can anybody recommend me a toolkit? Apparently I can't take off my cpu fan because my screwdriver is too short lol.
I'd just like something that'll be useful down the road when I build my next pc
Looking for a mini itx case. Focusing on small size but needs to fit a discrete gpu. It can be a half width 2 slot if need be.
I've been planning on getting the fractal node 202, and I might -- but I feel like it's still needlessly big. There are some cool boutique cases but I'm not trying to spend $300 on a case.
Anything else out there?
Not the the GPU from what I can see (are there even any cards longer than 30cm anymore?), but seems like there isn't room for push+pull (at least at the bottom) because of the drive cage. You'll have to replace the front fans with the cooler's and have only push.So, I'm planning a cooling upgrade from a stock Ryzen cooler to an AIO cooler (MasterLiquid 240 lite RGB) and the case I have is the Fractal Design Focus G. My plan is to mount the radiator + fans on the front of the case. Should I be worried about clearance for, say, my GPU, or the enclosure for the hard drives?
I can't find the internal dimensions of my case, but the radiator + fans together take up roughly 52mm of space. Will that fit in my case?
Could you explain what you mean by Push + Pull? My plan was to set up the 240mm radiator with fans at the front, pulling air in (replacing the existing case fans, of course). Are you telling me that it won't fit that way?Not the the GPU from what I can see (are there even any cards longer than 30cm anymore?), but seems like there isn't room for push+pull (at least at the bottom) because of the drive cage.

seems to be about 50mm between the front and the cage default position
