What's your latest tech purchase?

[biffzinker]

I certainly hope not, otherwise it goes back. Anyway, I'm having trouble finding the manufacturing date/week/month because the chip doesn't show a UA or SKU number.
Not that I'm overly concerned.

Batch number on the heatspreader has the info your looking for.

Just popped this in the FX8300 system! Sure makes things a lot faster than a HDD! WOW now that is every system I have except the Power mac G5 that has an SSD or M.2 SSD off of hard drives for good NOW!

I might have shown off this cooler before, purchased it through work but I have never used it there are a few models out but this seems to have the highest TDP rating of them all.

It's simular to the ThermalTake UX100 ARGB Lighting CPU Cooler which has a TDP of 65W but this version from Inter-tech actually shows off up to 115W and doesn't have dedicated RGB headers.

This variant is the Inter-tech Argus SU-800 and was so dirty cheap so like £9 or less that was why I just purchased it also that it took be back to like the Zalman CNPS and VF900 series CPU and GPU coolers that I was a big fan of .

I am wondering how bad it would be on my AMD Ryzen 3900X for cooling but it would look bad ass I am sure

Pentium Extreme Edition 965. Couldn't quite reach the lofty heights of 5.3GHz on X38; but I'll try again later on some other boards to see where the limits really are. This chip is very happy to chug along at 4.8-4.9GHz 1.44v but that 5GHz wall wants 1.55v+.

Ooof, I wouldn't trust anything with that kind of design on a >100W TDP CPU, no matter what the box claims. No heatpipes means slow transfer of heat to the fins, and I'm guessing the base is just smushed-together fins, which is also very inefficient for thermal transfer. It kind of looks like the MasterAir G100M, which is reportedly terrible.

Edit: scratch that, the Thermaltake UX100 looks essentially identical, even down to the "flames" on the fan blades. I would guess it's just the same cooler with different stickers and a logo-less shroud. The TT lists a 65W max TDP, btw.

Right! I would not use a HSF unless it has a minimum 4 heat pipes.
That Zalman cooler was garbage on all levels and the Argus doesn't look any better.

Was it a bad week for the CPU for the overclocking???

That's pretty low as I went at almost 1.7V with my D925 @ 4.8GHz

And now you've got them for sale?

I wonder how many kidneys those are worth.

Not enough for me to want one.
Looks like the market is once again in that red territory..

The 3080. But im no scalper. I know what they sell for on eBay but I couldn’t live with myself doing that.
No member who knows me can say im greedy, that i can say with confidence

I ran out of VRM before I could get that high. 1.65v tripped OCP, the 5.29GHz validation was at 1.616v and sucked down 188.3A according to AIDA64 (and reflected pretty clearly on the Kill A Watt there).

Shame, your just missing the 3070 and you'd have the set!!

 

[jboydgolfer]

i found it to be lacking in price to perf. the 3060ti was $100 less & perf was very close (atleast in regards to reference cards). i had one but sent it back.
my nephew LOVES that 3060ti, & the 3090 is SO quiet, & smooth, plus it fits in my Fractal Meshify-C (with about a 1/8th inch to spare) . im surprised the 3080 has lasted this long in the FS forum.

Wait what how, this does not compute to logic.

RTX cards being almost impossible to get and you got 3 of these things. How many scalpers dit you have to kill or breaking in to houses with mining farms to get these cards. How the he'll dit you get 3 cards, teach me great master, so I mortal can get maybe one card before I die?

I also wait for a 3080 in stock in my country.....
I want an Asus TUF OC at a reasonable price, they sold once for 799 EUR.

Ah i see. So I just have to start my own company with an account. Got it. Maybe not the wise choice to start a company just to get a card throw.

Guess I've just have to wait for cards getting back in stock.

i spent 3 weeks on bestbuy refreshing 16+hours a day too. there is no secret to it. honestly. thats just how i got those specific cards in the pic.

Same here. Exactly same card I'm waiting for. But I might have to reconsider another card, cause everyone wants the asus cards.

Holy s..t, I'm desperate to get a card, but not that desperate. That I would spend that much time on it to get a card.

Try flashing the Rampage Formula bios onto your board, might help with the OCP but it also just makes it better overall.

First time I've ever got a modular power supply and it's a stunner, it's a Be Quiet! Straight Power 11 650W 80 Plus Platinum fully modular unit that I got on a sale for US$125.

Yeah the ripple isn't as good as the Corsair units and it doesn't have a fan stop mode, but I love the Silent Wings 3 fans and the internal components are very high quality. PCB soldering looks good. A very well-built unit that will finally rid my Ryzen system of the Zalman mustard/tomato cable rats nest.

.....and after! Looks so much neater!
