@phill, buddy, why don't you save yourself some time and just buy Microcenter or something?

That aside, very nice gear there!

Oh but now you took my surprise away....

What can I say that my signature doesn't already say!?

How much did you pay for it?

I paid around 80$ (I live in Brazil and paid 400 BRL, in the conversion the price can change a bit from the original so I guess 80 bucks is the most accurate price)

At least here in Germany a 250GB 970 Evo Plus cost 60€ not much difference from a Kingston.

SenditMakine · Dec 1, 2020

Dang, I wish I could live there, here the prices just skyrocket when there is samsung on the name .(probably because they're all imported, no industries here in Brazil can produce those things)
But as soon as we can make it here the prices start to drop a bit, unfortunately I don't think that'll be happening at all

I thought that.

I wanted to get an Evo plus 1TB but for Gaming isn't worth over a WD Black, only thing gained with the Evo plus is the boot time.

Yesterday I bought a 1Tb SATA SSD from aliexpress, it's a kingdian something, I heard that china SSDs are not worth it because of their durability, but it was costing 60$ and I thought that I should give it a try, looking forward to post here my experiences with it.

I managed to get my hands on a RX 6800 so I hope it can last me the year out if not more

Damn so jelly right now. At msrp or from scalpers?

sam_86314 · Dec 2, 2020

RAM upgrade for my system arrived today...

...a 2x16GB kit of Team T-Force Dark Z 3600MHz memory for $110 USD. The DIMMs use SpecTek (Micron) B-die memory chips.

I dropped it in my system, turned the speed up to 3600MHz, and it just works, which surprised me since I'm running Zen+.

Seems to work perfectly. Haven't run Memtest yet, but so far so good. It nudged my Geekbench 4 score just over 5000 single-core, so that's cool I guess.

wolf · Dec 2, 2020

Built the Secretlab TITAN and a new desk for my little corner, this chair is worth every penny.

Everything the reviews say really, top tier quality, every single part or function just feels sturdy and premium. It's a little on the firm side which I actually really like, but apparently will break in too. 10/10 would buy again.

From a non scalper, meet face-2-face but I traded in my old MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon-AC, Samsung 970 EVO 500GB NVME SSD and Sapphire PULSE RX 5700 XT + about £339 which makes my lift easier so I don't have to sell them myself

dont whant to set it"' · Dec 2, 2020

Tried I have to get a RTX3070 and then either a RX6800 or RX6800XT so I went in a different direction.
All in full working order:
One MSI's Radeon Navi 56 Air Boost;
One Sparkle Computer Geforce 7950GT
One AMD Radeon RX480 8GB
One Nvidia QuadroFX 4600.
Le: oh and two gtx295's which for some reason or another are not displaying anything on my Crosshair VI E X370 mb yet just fine them post on A8N-E

NNice, I was on the lookout for a Vega56, but prices ain't right for second hand. Not even on Ebay. And the funny thing is some Vegas56 are the price of Vega64. These cards used to be cheaper half a year ago. Now it is not worth IMO.

Just bought this the other day at Microcenter. HDR on it is quite nice and now I can finally stream at a 16:9 ratio. I will miss my ultra wide greatly but even though this is technically a downgrade, it's a nice upgrade for me considering what I want to do with it.
