Tomgang´s project 2 systems in 1 case. All air cooled.

[Tomgang]

I can´t just leave this with out some benchmark. A site note: RTX 4090 scales better with 5950X than i hoped for. But there are still in some cases where my 5950X is a CPU bottleneck. So if you are on AM4 and want RTX 4090. I will reccoment to go for 5800X3D. That is the only AM4 cpu that is capable of feeding a RTX 4090. Specially if you are planing for 1440P high FPS gaming. For 4K you can get away with Zen 3 cpu, but cpu bottle can still happen depending on game. I will not reccoment to go for a RTX 4090 on AM4 unless you have or get a 5800X3D. Else you need a Zen 4 or Raptor lake CPU to feed it, specially below 4K.

5600X/RTX A2000

5950X and RTX 4090. 3Dmark scales awfully with 5950X with so many cores so scores are hold back and in some test 5950X bottleneck my RTX 4090.

w

So this is how the new GPU´s performing on Zen 3 systems.

Amazing @Tomgang !! Thank you for sharing the work and results!

Most importantly, are you enjoying it??!

You are welcome and yes I am apselutely enjoying it now.

The only thing I can think of that would make it better. Was if amd released at 5950X3D. That would make the last thing to perfection besides that awful new adapter nvidia has made. I hate it and just waiting for to replace it for something nicer and safer, that is not a firehazaard.

Can completely understand that mate. I've seen a few videos on issues problems or anything else you can imagine but it still baffles me why they made the plug so small and so on..

I'm glad I'm not gunning for a 40 series card at the moment, I hope that if anything happens to the power adaptors that ALL cards produced and sold will be re done with whatever new thing they decide to replace it with, because I don't believe this is at all good for Nvidia and I'm shocked that AMD would willingly go the same route. I'm sorry to say for me, "better the devil you know" or "if its not broke, don't fix it!"

Yeah. That adapter is a stupid thing to do. It looks ugly and up to 600 watt throw that little thing. A normal 8 pin is 150 watt max as far I know.

And make it so small and fragile is beyond my imagination. As soon there are alternative connectors to get. I am throwing that fire hazard out.

 

[phill]

I really don't know what they where thinking but here we are

How are you finding the card otherwise @Tomgang ??

In short I returned the card and now I am waiting for a gigabyte ditto to arrive.

Longer explaining. The card was great in all aspects. Silent, looks good, running cool and so on. But it had 1 annoying flaw. Really bad coil whine, so out it was. It was sad cause I else really liked the card, but I hate coil whine and this card had the worst and loudest coil whine I have ever experienced from any gpu.

Looks like i ma a bit more lucky with the gigabyte cards. It still has coil whine and you can here it. But it´s not as loud as the asus card.

Glad to hear it mate, what model Gigabyte card did you go for ??

Was it the Asus Tuf card you had previously??

Yes asus rtx 4090 tuf oc was what I had before.

I managed to get a gigabyte geforce rtx 4090 gaming oc. But it was not a matter what I wanted, but what I could get. 4090 is still not that easy to get, at least not the good models. I would rather like to get the asus tuf card. Better in the other aspect, besides coil whine. The Gigabyte card has more noisy fans, feels cheaper as the cover over cooler is plastic and makes the card less stiff, on the tuf card it is all metal and gives a more nice high end feeling to it. So besides the coil whine, the tuf card is the better card.

Hornestly if evga still made 4090, evga had been in my pc again just like with my 3080 card. But they don't so I have to settle with other choices.

You might want to hold off on that nVidia has been saying they'll cancel your warranty if you use any but their own adaptor and shit happens

Nvidia ain't gonna dictate what I shall do or not. They have all ready been enough of a greedy bastards with their gpu prices. Now they want to force us to use there garbage adapter as well. No thanks.

There adapter has shown to be a fire hazard and it's ugly, I hate it. I am still going to use a new cable as soon its arrived.

But thanks for the warning throw I was aware of the nvidia no warranty bs.

This i think will be the last update for this system. I am now consider this build as complete and finish. I finnally have my dream build as i want it. A few things has changed, hence why this post comes up.

The Asus RTX 4090 TUF i got, coil whine way to much. So returned it and got this gigabyte card in stead.

Also a solution for Nvidias ugly ass adaptor finnally arrived. Goodbye eyesore.

The lonely Crucial MX300 sata SSD, got a friend as well, in form of a Samsung EVO 870 4 TB sata drive.

As last year, i made a christmas theme i will be running over this christmas. Not much has changed since last time, but it really gives a nice mood and i can just as well put that rainbow vomit to good use.

So this is how my complete system spec are as of now and will be for the comming years.

This is now truly a gaming beast (amd please release 5950X3D) and a very capable workstation. Over and out.

 

[Tomgang]

I at last got a new phone with a better camera. So this post is mostly new pictures in better quality and more details can now be seen.
Only changes since last time, is that the 4 TB WD RED has been replaced by a new WD RED PRO 16 TB HDD and i have removed the last fan between fan controllers and HDD bays. It had to go, do to space needed for mounting the GPU antisag bracket.

So here are new and better pictures of my system. That is all.

Thanks for the update.... I forget how massive the 4090 is till I see it in other peoples cases lol.

No dout RTX 4090 is big. Not just my card, but all air cooled cards in general. Well with overclock these cards can suck up to 600 watt alone. Have seen my card peak at 570 watt at it´s worst.
But mostly run it under volted to 0,900 mv and locked GPU to 2600 mhz. Minimal performance lose, but saves me 100-150 watts compared to a stock card under same load.

I run mine similarly.

I run mine similarly.

Yeah. after several test. I concluded this gave me the most power saving with out losing much performance.

So a little rare post with a few changes to my systems. Nothing major or crazy.

So here is what i have changed.

GPU for mini-atx system has been replaced from RTX A2000 to Gigabyte RTX 4060 Low profile card.
Do to the lack of airflow and the RTX 4060 not dumping hot air out of the case like the blower cooler on RTX A2000 dit.
Hot air was a problem to remove from the mini-itx system. Sp with the helt from a friend with a 3Dprinter. We designet and printeed this funnel to direct more flow to the mini-itx system.
I also replaced the LIan-li fan that used to be where the funnel now is with a much more powerful Phanteks T30-120 fan. The lian-li fan could not provide any meanful airflow, but the Phanteks T30-120 does a great job on providing airflow.
I added 3 new storage drives as well. The first one is a Crucial MX500 4 TB sata SSD, the second one is WD Ultrastar 22 TB HDD that replaces the WD black 8 TB HDD and a WD RED PRO 16 TB HDD that will replace the old wd red 4 TB hdd that is a left over from my old X58 system. This increases the total storage capacity to 82 TB with 6 SSD and 4 HDD for the two systems combined.

So system spec are now:

ATX
CPU: Ryzen 9 5950X
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Chromax black with Noctua IPPC 3000 RPM fans (1 140 mm and 1 120 mm)
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero X570
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z royal silver 3600 MHz 32 GB CL 14-15-15-36 1.45 volts (4 x 8 GB running dual channel and dual rank)
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4090 Gaming OC
storage: Samsung 980 PRO 1 TB for OS, Samsung 980 PRO 2 TB + Crucial MX300 2 TB sata + Crucial MX500 4 TB for games only, WD gold 14 TB HDD + WD Ultrastar 22 TB for storage
OS: Windows 10 PRO 64 bits
So for this system the Crucial MX500 4 TB SSD and WD Ultrastar 22 TB is the only changes.

Mini-itx
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-L9x65 SE-AM4a with replaced brown fan with a ditto in chromax black
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z royal gold 3600 MHz 32 GB CL 14-15-15-36 1.45 volts (2 x 16 GB running dual channel and dual rank)
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4060 low profile
Storage: Samsung 980 PRO 1 TB for OS, Samsung EVO 870 4 TB sata SSD for games, 2 x WD RED PRO 16 TB HDD for storage
OS: Windows 10 PRO 64 bits
Changes to this system is a new GPU, a new HDD and the 3D printed funnel.

Other stuff
PSU: Phanteks Revolt X 1200W single PSU powering bofh systems
Case: Phanteks Enthoo 719/LUXE 2 black
primary monitor: Asus 27" TUF VG27AQL1A
Case Fans: Lian LI Unifan 120 MM black first gen fans with stock controller for RGB light and 1 Phanteks T30-120 fan for providing better airflow to the mini-itx system thrrow the 3dprinted funnel
3D printed funnel to direct more airflow to the mini-itx system
Fan controller: 2 x aquacomputer aquaero 6 xt with all fans connected to this and none to motherboards.
All nvme ssd has a cooler with a active fan.
Mouse: Logitech G903 Lightspeed
Keyboard: Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum
soundsystem: Logitech Z906

So here are a few new image.

Thats it for now
