Was also looking at this one but it's out of stock or way overpriced: https://www.newegg.com/msi-liquid-cooling-system-s-series-radiator-size-394-00-x-120-00-x-27-00-mm/p/N82E16835846029

Hi! No, no upgrade. I got the 1800x (paired with the 1080ti) when it came out and still have it :) That's why I'm upgrading to the 9800x3d. I was thinking of the 99xxx3d but saw it's not as good for gaming and that's the sole purpose of my upgrades.

Yes it does, it's the MSI MEG Prospect 700R

I spoke to an MSI tech and he confirmed that it's not discontinued as it's still on their website. I found one at Walmart and pulled the trigger and ordered it. I wanted to make sure also if I do purchase it, parts are available and he said yes. Thank you!

Yes. I just saw B and H, Walmart and CDW have the case. Was checking with MSI to see if there is a new and improved case coming or was it buried, done, kaput. Yes yes, I might have to go thru to see what would be an alternative.

My procrastination finally bit me. As Im gathering parts around a MSI build, the case I wanted to get was the 700r with the nice LCD display. Seems like it was discontinued though it's odd, the case was only 2 years old. I did reach out to MSI to find out if so and if it's getting a refresh...

I'm doing a MSI-centered build and was looking at this CPU AIO cooler: https://www.newegg.com/msi-liquid-cooling-system-radiator-size-273-x-120-x-27-mm/p/N82E16835846057?Item=N82E16835846057 and this one...

Thanks. I'll check out the monitor. Maybe the DP cable might have sihifted cause my daughter moves the monitor (dont know why and why she does that). I might have shifted it too when moving my tower.

Indeed. I was thinking the 9800x3d or wait for the new Ryzens in 2026. Maybe I'm just looking for an excuse to hold off. Even though it seems my monitor might be dying, I'm still able to use it and it still works. I don't do work on it. This is strictly my gaming PC. What I have been noticing...

Asrock Taichi for the Ryzen 1800x

I have the Asrock Taichi for the Ryzen 1800x. I think I just saw the 1080ti will not get anymore updates too. I actually set up a wishlist for Prime Day and on Newegg too though, the prices, WOW! Watching Microcenter, Amazon and Newegg. I set up this wishlist: ryzen 9800x3d MSI Edge x870e...

My build is roughly 8 yrs old. I bought the Ryzen 1800x when it came out. I've been planning to upgrade as far as the 7800x3d but when I heard the Ryzwn 9xxxx were coming, I needed an excuse to wait lol. Here's my "old build." I plan to go all MSI for this one and probably no OC (CPU): (It's...

Thank you. Does is matter concerning the PCIe 5.0 slot? I read it's shared on the Carbon motherboard but on the Edge, it's doesn't share any lane or is this "lag" negligible? I'm leaning towards tbe Edge board.

I've been procrastinating for a long time. My present system includes the Ryzen 1800x (when released) paired with an Asus 1080ti. This time around I'm going to do a MSI build centered with a Ryzen 9800x3d (whenever it's back in stock) and RTX 5xxx (eyeing the 5070 or 5070ti when released and...

Thank you.
