lol I don't touch newegg unless I absolutely have to. If you got it from Amazon just do a replacement thru them, easy as 123. Also you don't need a ROG board though I do love ROG bios. The only reason I went with a 670E is for the water temp sensor.
Yea it's happening, unavoidable in some ways. I think it'll balance out as long as there are millions of Optimus bots or the like bringing us into that age of abundance. Right??
They'll continue to be the leader for a bit till in-house designs dominate but I suspect that will be a a couple years. GPU's really are a swiss knife and not a scapel.
This is Apple's trick to get ppl to upgrade their phones, smh. Part of this news is that they are making a deal to put it on their phones necessitating... new chips thus new phones. What a shocker!
Out with the old and in with the new. Also upgraded to an Optimus block. The Prime boards silver matches the Aqua backplate pretty nicely. It's like a carnival in there lol.
This rig went from 5800x to 7800X3D.
Next time don't slather stuff on the rad, it only hides possible cracks or leaks in the brazing. The "flat" of the port needs to be well flat. Try sanding it flat so the o-ring can make a seal?
If there was a leak etc etc, you could have filled it with solder etc but not sure now with that...
