Did steps 2-5 for the EVGA step up yesterday. Just need to mail in the GPU. Any recommendations on who and what to use for shipping?

repiv posted:old-ish pic but not much has changed besides adding another m.2 drive   Also an old pic, but since then I covered up the uhh, basement again and got rid of the crappy fractal fan that was located there. It didn't help enough for the extra noise. GPU temps are great, 55-60 in most games while being very quiet. The Seasonic PSU fan sucks so much, but I can't really replace it anytime soon as I'm currently unemployed.

mA posted:Cool - how do you regulate the fan speed on those Noctua fans on your GPU? I use an adapter that lets me to connect them directly to the fan header on the GPU itself. So I'm using the standard GPU fan control for them. Fan curve looks like this:  Had to redo it week ago after Windows reset because I'm a dumbo and didn't back up Afterburner settings.

I love this. I'd worry about the gpu choking, but the cpu cooler prevents you from putting the side on the case, right?

I went with USPS priority and saved a bit of money over UPS/Fed Ex, but I live in California, so the shipping distance was relatively close and I factored that the risk of damage in transit was probably minimal in my case.

I also live in Northern California and used UPS to ship my card back to EVGA. Two days ground, insured for $900 and cost me about $36; shipping air would have gotten it there twice as fast but cost five times as much (around $140 I think?)

I RMA'd my RX580 recently and used USPS for $28 insured, and it got from WI to CA in 2 days, a heck of a lot faster than Fed Ex was able to send the replacement back to me.

Having dealt with fedex a couple times recently, they are NOT quick by any metric. Or accurately track their delivery times.

Here's the SFF build (5900x/3080) I've been tooling around with since November: It's been a mixed experience, all told. I got one of those Gigabyte 3080s with the borked power pins, though I also got lucky in the sense that it was just one pin that I was able to bend back into place long enough to get the PSU connector on. Makes me dread taking the card out, though. Also my eyes keep telling me there's card sag, yet every time I actually force my head down there, it appears to be completely level.  edit: also it's hot as gently caress in regards to the CPU and GPU memory, no matter how much I mess around with the cooling Cross-Section fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Apr 21, 2021 |

Cross-Section posted:Here's the SFF build (5900x/3080) I've been tooling around with since November: I'd say just leave the card in place unless it's absolutely necessary to remove it. I have a Gigabyte 3090 and I'm praying to god that I won't need to deal with Gigabyte's RMA department in the future given the dozens of horror stories there seem to be out there. The card I have is great, but it's an extra concern I have that I didn't have with my EVGA card.

The card I have is great, but it's an extra concern I have that I didn't have with my EVGA card. I had a feeling that customer service was screwy when I couldn't actually register my card through the US website and had to go on their international(?) one instead. The card itself has been fine (aside from the high memory temps); I was even able to get BAR working on it. Still, I'm thankful to have a 1080 as backup in case poo poo goes bad.

So I have GTX 1060 and am looking to upgrade; I know next to nothing about graphics cards these days aside from they're really hard to find without making an effort. I'm thinking an RTX 3060 but am open to other ideas for an upgrade. Also any tips on how to track one down would be appreciated.

Holy hell what is going on in Ohio? Also, I remembered hearing that Newegg Shuffle winners get notified early in the notification period, was that ever confirmed? Lately when the clock hits 6pm EST I'm just like "welp another loss" before the email comes at like 10pm.

You remember how AMD cards used to be a joke? Well what if I told you they are almost just as good for gaming and depending on who you ask might be better?

they are really good and its not a fair comparison with RTX when RTX is missing. Incidentally, I have 4 6700xt's coming in about 2 weeks. Come to my SA-mart thread or PM me if you want more details. Its probably more than you want to spend, but the "budget" lineup has yet to show up this gen. Expect 600+ and thats at MSRP. The days of $300 GPU seem like a distant memory. I still wish my rx580 was solidly middle tier.

I don't think a 3060 is particularly good for 4k without turning down some settings, it's more of a 1440p kinda card from my understanding. Still, if you're looking for a 3060, someone in SA Mart is selling one! https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3965445&pagenumber=1&perpage=40
