I knew the GPU market was insane but goddamn: I paid 649€ for an ASUS 3070 Dual OC in November which was already borderline ridiculous. Now the same card costs 869€. What the gently caress

The Asus TUF 3070 is back in stock here for 1020 USD (converted from euro). And that's the loving cheapest 3070 available. I'm actually considering it.

I thought the 3080 had terrible coil whine until I swapped to a new Corsair HX1000i PSU. After that all the coil whines/buzzing etc stopped. I have no idea if it was actually the PSU instead of the GPU. Or was it the GPU because of my 11+ year old PSU not being very good anymore... dunno  If you have another psu or PC maybe try swapping and see if the noise continues.

When I first installed my 3090 FE it had no coil whine. I then replaced my CPU with a 5900X and took the GPU out of its slot to make the installation a little easier. Second time around, the card had awful, unbearable coil whine. I've reseated the thing four times and each time the whine has been slightly different in intensity.

I had bad coil whine on my 1080Ti that I was able to reduce somewhat by using two independent PSU cables instead of a Y cable. The best solution is to get a case with sound deadening panels and put it under your desk because I never heard that poo poo until I got a Meshify C.

Any new component you put into your case has a chance to activate a certain and totally unforeseeable resonance with any of the other components into something that creates annoying sounds you didn't even know your system was capable of. That's the magic of PC gaming.

That's the magic of PC gaming. I remember adjusting the speed of my Corsair ML120's a couple of months ago. There was a barely perceptible hum that happened about once every 15 seconds. Shaving just 100 RPM off them got rid of it. I never found out which one(s) was the causation of the resonation.

Coil whine's more or less why I'm holding off a bit, just in case. In EU, warranty is via the seller instead of the manufacturer, and I don't feel like going back and forth over coil whine with some rep who also sells toilet paper and videogames.

https://www.tomshardware.com/amp/news/the-fastest-rtx-3080-mining-rig-is-a-bmw-i8 This kind of flexing is the reason why I want to rush after Bitcoin miners like a lowland gorilla. The whole thing is a Ponzi scheme anyways so I don’t understand why they have to keep pointing out to the media that they have all these cards for their rigs. Do they think someone with a 3000 rtx is going to jump on mining because of some douche canoe with a lambo trunk mining rig?

My buddy recently had to RMA some ram and his kid ripped the original packaging to shreds. Their policy is 50% refund but they sent him new ram anyways. The one thing i like about newegg is that you can filter out the marketplace people in their search which is leagues better than Amazon. The amount of times I have search amazon to find something from a marketplace seller with inflated prices was enough to drive me to drink. Now I just search for anything with Prime Shipping.

New Egg marketplace sellers have no qualms with advertising AMD coolers as new when every review states they received an obviously used product. Best buy doesn't have the biggest selection of components but it's now the first place I look when I'm too lazy to drive the 30 mins to Microcenter.

Newegg has been poo poo for like a decade. People just didn't want to acknowledge it for nostalgia reasons, and also because it was convenient - everyone already had a newegg account, you could get everything you wanted for a build at semi-reasonable prices rather than going to 2-3 retailers, etc.

Less "zomg look at that BMW mining rig--I GOTTA GET IN ON THAT" and more "...huh, if some fucknut can make silly money like that, maybe it's worth seeing what my card can do?" And with a 3080 getting $5-6/day right now, there's gonna be a lot of interest in that--if that holds that'd pay off a 3080 FE (at MSRP, anyhow) in 4ish months, which is pretty attractive to a lot of people. Hell, even if prices drop by 50%, in 4 months that'd mean you paid half of it off, and a lot of people sold existing cards to trade up to a 3080, so that still might be enough to end up with a "free" card. Basically buttcoins will continue loving with the market until a 3080's daily profit drops to like $2 again.

Running the PBR Donut test all night, which makes the coil whine the worst, didn't seem to do anything like I was reading it might, guess I'll go ahead and just prime overnight a new psu and if it still whines I guess I'm gonna rma, never had a card that sounded like this, I could deal with the coil whine if it was just while gaming but not when I'm just sitting there browsing the internet and my graphics card low key sounds like the main menu "music" from the original xbox. runaway dog fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Jan 27, 2021 |

I had bad 3090 coil whine that went away when I paid (way too much) for some custom cablemod pcie cables instead of the sleeved extensions I was using before. Coil whine is a mysterious and fickle beast.

The 3D performance obviously was trash past a certain point but servers don't care, it just needs to run a windows desktop or server console. Nowadays a lot of that has moved to dedicated IPMI like ASPEED (which iirc is Intel owned) though

gradenko_2000 posted:time to memestock, uhhhh ... is Matrox still around? After a fashion - their M-series cards are still descended from cut-down variants of the 2003-era Parhelia core with enough bugfixes to make them WDDM/DirectX 9-compliant. Most of their new products implement AMD or Nvidia GPUs with a somewhat different software stack and specialized display outputs. They've been a niche brand for a long time - don't expect that to change. Biowarfare posted:A bunch of my rackmounted servers report 16MB matrox "GPUs" I'd guess that's some variation of the Matrox G200e, which made its way onto some server motherboards as a "look, it's got video" option. A motherboard I snagged on eBay for a song has one on it, but I have not had the gumption to test it out yet. Hasturtium fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Jan 27, 2021 |

Going flat-out with the fans turned up to "blender", my PC peaks at 60mh/s (so, 1 eth/year?). I could see wanting to do that at the current rates, but I won't kick myself for not having done so when it was $225. Besides, that heat has to go somewhere
