Me, I have the MB and ram, just need the cpu.

Any idea what time these go on sale tomorrow?

Edited from initial negative comment: 3090 FE with Alphacool Eisblock in my system. Cooling is great, 3 degrees above ambient. I had an issue with the fact that there is no IO shield provided and no mention of how to attach the IO shield from the stock cooler with all the diagrams showing it...

So potentially slapping a waterblock on this will improve my results? I know that components can make a difference but 16 seems a lot.

Now here's something curious. I had a Strix 3090 OC and ran firestrike on it (yes, I know not the most appropriate benchmark) and got 233.62 fps on graphics test 1 and 179.46 fps on graphics test 2 with an average clock frequency of 1,948 MHz. I now have a founder's edition and if I run the same...

Outside of tech demos I haven't seen any real use of raytracing that has made me want to use it. It either seems to make everything too dark or make surfaces with reflections look like buffed chrome/pools of mercury. Give me HDR any day.

In my case it was corsair software causing the high temps. Thanks!

I honestly didn't think AMD could have messed this up worse than NVidia did for their launch, but they managed it!

I will have a go at your suggestions. Thanks.

I finally got my 5950X yesterday. I was very apprehensive of installing it as it forced me to undertake an overhaul of my custom loop and fan layout which had been overdue for some time. I had been hoping to kill two birds with one stone and leave it till I could get a 6800XT/6900XT but that...

That's what I get for just lurking in this thread

@Gibbo Would it be possible to have a dedicated stock announcement thread that is locked but which we can subscribe to for updates? That way we can be notified if stock is available without the message getting buried in the thread.

So yeah, no store appears to have any, only 1 that I can see who even has product pages

Thank you, that's a great approach.

So, has everyone replaced the switches on their F5 keys in preparation for tomorrow?

Yeah I know, excited!

Redirect to a neighbour in on the conspiracy using the delivery company app/website or ensure she's out on an errand during the delivery window. Then hide it until you have time to install it. I'm so glad that I don't have to do this. My girlfriend accepts that once she sees me doing hardware...

I really like it as well but want a liquid cooled one for my loop this time. Hoping for a 6900XT liquid devil

I haven't had my paypal refund yet, should I have?

Great, thank you for confirming.
