The question is will the current 3080s and 3090s skyrocket in price even more since there's no mining restrictions on them?

Unfortunately, for linux users theres no way to check for vram temps outside hiveos and windows 10. But rest assured I've been running my 3090s like this for a little over 2 months now and all have thermal pads replaced, heatsinks added, low temps, and proper cooling and all happily at 117mh/s

That's terrible tweaking. I used thermalright odyssey 1.5mm thermal pads on my 3090 founders edition backplate and getting 117mh/s continuous with 46c gpu temps and 65% fan speed with a power limit at a cool 280 watts across. Also added a heatsink and I'm running 20.04 ubuntu headless. Tested...

@Admin, Great post sir! I would like to add if I may, someone on reddit had posted that the new Gigabyte Aorus z590 Xtreme would not accept Nvidia RTX 3090 in SLI. I dunno where he got that out of thin air so I asked Gigabyte support and got a response that was true! Apparently the board only...

Oh Man! I can't wait for the z590 XTREME! I still have my z390 Aorus XTREME and still rocking my i9 9900k no problems! And for some odd reason you cant find z390 XTREME's ANYWHERE or they cost a freakin' fortune now! Yeah they have the waterblock versions but who wants that?!?! I have a strange...

What I want to know is what about the 3090 Ti?!?!? Any info on that sheesh...

So do those with 9900k already on all cores at 5.0ghz have anything to worry about?

Older monitors used some experimental adhesive compound between the lcd layer and the protective clear front. Over the years these may degrade over time from uv light or just wear and tear. However I've never seen it this extreme before, but then I've heard of accelerated degradation especially...

Are you 100% sure you are required to do a BIOS update? I mean you can just swap it out now and see if it boots up or not. If it does then you don't need to do an update unless it enables more features that you don't have currently. If it doesn't boot up then simply swap back to your older cpu ...

Actually, in gaming these kind of frequencies are really negligible in real world situations. During benchmark testing you will see differing variations but in applications especially for gaming , you're not going to see mind blowing performance changes. In other words, you would see...

Don't dump the machine yet. Your bottleneck is the GPU. You might see some improvement from a 750Ti, but what's better is a 1070 . Those you can find used on craigslist for as low as 200 bucks now and they will extend your wheezy Dell for another year tops! Good luck!

Looks pretty good to me. You may want to consider coolmaster h500 (no suffix) instead of the h500M or h500P and instead of MSI look into ASUS ROG strix as they're more overclockable if you're into that stuff. But that's strictly viewer opinionated. Anyway, have fun with it. Good luck!

Because analogue is tied to your directional movement that's why. You can set that in game controllers in your control panel or through the game to explicitly bind it to something else. Good luck!

Never ever go cheap on PSU. You want a good name braned one with certified raitings to ensure voltage protection to your sensitive pc components. I never even heard of trendsonic and I assume immediately that power supply is no good. Good luck!

It could be any number of reasons. Sometimes stuttering and freezing can occur from low memory but it doesn't seem like you're low on mem especially for gaming. It could also be from running out of storage space as that will bog things down to a halt, either if its an SSD or HDD. Lastly it could...
