I really didn't want to throw up in my mouth today, yet here we are... Makes sense I guess, the original Marathon was three decades ago, and Bungie's latest games have demonstrated that the studio is now just another excreter of multiplayer shooter clones.

The grift continues.

I thought it was just a remaster of the original?

Ahhh sorry, I didn't look at your board in detail, I had no idea people were still using systems where USB3 ports are at a premium. Given that your board does have an internal USB3 header which can supply two ports, a USB3 PCI breakout connector as @A Computer Guy suggested is the best idea.

IBM has been moving downwards for decades at this point, I still don't understand how it remains in business.

A brand new 5090 is never going to be any cheaper than it is now. Tariffs are going to make GPUs even more expensive and the resultant global recession will mean even fewer people will be able to afford them, which means fewer will be produced, which means their prices will increase even further.

Jesus hernandez christ, it's time to stop, grandpa IBM.

Why don't you just run a USB3 extension cable from the rear IO to the front of the case?

US tariffs on Chinese imports make it more expensive for Chinese companies to produce goods in general, because their largest market is the USA. But at the same time because their largest market is the USA, none of those companies want to piss off US customers with higher prices. So instead they...

This is a whole lot of words for "changed the PCIe physical transport from electrical to optical".

I pulled the trigger on a £540 5070 on Sunday, because with the tariff insanity there's no chance that GPUs are going to become more affordable anytime soon. As for AMD and their bait-and-switch pricing, they can go jump.

No this is not, because at any sort of load that single fan is going to ramp up so high that your ears will bleed. Also say goodbye to idle fan stop.

Which hasn't happened. Do try to educate yourself before spreading FUD.

Nobody is. Did you have a point?
