Nvidia to invest billions in Israel to build a new campus there. Jensen says it's their second home.
>With the official announcement, Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang said: “Israel is home to some of the world’s most brilliant technologists and has become NVIDIA’s second home. Our new campus will be a place where our teams can collaborate, invent, and build the future of AI. This investment reflects our deep and enduring commitment to our families in Israel and their unique contributions to the AI era.”

Bronze, gold, plat ratings are only about their efficiency.

I was under the impression that higher efficiency ratings would be correlated with better materials and build quality, and thus a reduced chance of the PSU dying too early, or zapping the entire built into an early grave.

Also just zip tie the fans around the GPU. there's a small gap between the GPU and motherboard. It's what I did to my HBA cards.

>cable management
Tired of doing that in an RG4T, there is a hard limit with this many drives. Technically it is even worse given this is a Zalman Z3 chassis, but I'll reference my 2015 photos later. If I can get my HAF 932 de-tarred it might solve all my problems.

I just need to make sure everything is working and nothing catches on fire first. Pragmatic needs have come first and I need easy access to my parts. Otherwise I work on it all day as I did today.

My biggest worry right now is not all of the 3 pin fan headers making contact with the controller and the exposed GPU heatsink. Cable management can come later.

>>107637335
just buy a bigger case dude

>>107637330
It's regular 3M duct tape for now given someone took my electrical tape, necessary for the load. Hopefully the residue won't be a problem as I only taped the plastic shrouds on the fan and backplate.

I'll try zipping up the card through the rear given I did manage to pop put the remaining slots with some minor capacitor bends and all around on the third fan if I do add it.

>>107637221
>Do not buy below gold
It's getting difficulty to find golds anywhere these days that aren't at an unnecessarily high wattage.
>>107637292
I've been worrying because my Corsair RM550x caused a spark on the motherboard last year and I had to replace it, and before that, my GPU randomly died despite not being old, and now my aftermarket CPU fan is constantly at max RPM for no identifiable reason as if it were overclocked (even though nothing in my PC is). Now I'm not getting video signal on boot (GPU or integrated) unless I unplug the PC from the wall at the end of each day, as if it needs drained capacitors to even supply power properly.
I'm rather suspicious of it. This is rather stressful.

>>107637354
I did, but it needs further disassembly and decontamination before use. I have to douse it in alcohol and acetone before repainting it to try and purge the smell.

>>107637382
oh you're the haf guy yeah it sucks the case is a biohazard

>>107637374
Stop plugging in your PSU directly in the wall. Buy a UPS. My guess is that your place has dirty electricity and it fucked your PSU. Bronze or gold or plat will shit itself eventually when it's not protected.
But now what your PSU is fucked stop using it, buy a new one and buy a UPS along with it.
Consider that an expensive lesson to protect your electronics using a surge protector/UPS.

PC gaming as a hobby is effectively dead. Majority of consumers will never have a PC faster then what they have now. Companies wont make demanding software anymore since basically nobody can run it

>>107637726
Your PC only needs to be on par with PS5 and thats not difficult since thats just post 2020 machine.

So the 2-120mm fans on the GPU actually didn't perform bad at first, I foolishly forgot to plug in the power connector for my DC fans so it ran with only the CPU/GPU/exhaust PWMs but it didn't go past 70C on the hotspot running SDXL. Fans were at 600 RPM on the CPU.

The bad news was when I ran Superposition 1080p extreme, where I quickly encountered thermal throttling once a few minutes in. The fans clearly need to speen faster but they did not given it is a GPU focused benchmark, this is what I feared would happen. 96c on the hotspot with 950mv undervolt, thank god I temperature limited it to 80c in afterburner.

I will need to find a VGA to PWM fan splitter to plug directly into the card and use 3 fans at that, likely 800-1000 RPM at least. Otherwise the hard disk buzzing is the loudest thing in the box.

My 5090 got here today. Everything is built except for it. I just need to install it and turn it on.
No matter how many times I do it I’m always afraid I’ll flip the switch and nothing will happen…
Wish me luck

>>107638560
No

>>107638573
I thought that said Sperm Liquid.
Got kinda excited for a moment.

Liquid?
You paid more for a GPU full of water? Surely you can just fill a GPU with your own water. What's so special about Suprim water?

>>107638582
Gae

Bought in 15 $~15 dollar installments lol.

>still no compelling reason to have water inside your pc in 2025

Is getting an OLED monitor worth it? Does anyone with one regret it or would go back?

>>107638589
NTA but those AIO gpus are cheaper than doing it yourself unless its AMD.

>boot up PC
>still hear coil whine noise around the CPU

Well fuck. I don't want to replace my motherboard but this strange noise is driving me mad.

>>107638622
Depends on what generation of OLED.
Older OLEDs, not really.
New OLEDs, yeah, probably.
The technology has matured quite a bit.

I was on a 9700k and 32GB 3200Mhz with a GTX 1660Ti until I upgraded to an RTX 4070Ti 2-3 years ago. The 9700k was holding me back, but I was trying to last until 2026/27, but with the recent RAM price surge I panicked and picked up a 2x24GB kit for (relatively) cheap and decided to buy a 9800X3D.

The upgrade is pretty drastic, even just basic desktop usage is better.

All aboard the train to Bridgeville, one way tickets only. I wish the 5080 got decent discounts too.

do you have your pc on your desk?

your throttle experience could be fixed in 10 mins with ptm7950.

>>107638685
Yeah. I can't hear it if I put my PC below my desk, but I'd like my PC on the desk for leg room.

Bros, I don't need to upgrade anymore. I have games that would last me 30+ years.

fucking called it but still. just buy a case without a side panel that is optimized for quiet operation and put it under your desk and get a better desk that is bigger.

yes
you want a vermeer-based zen 3 cpu

5600/5600x are safe, the trap was 5700 which is cezanne-based (mobile apu)
https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/?f=codename_=Cezanne
5700x is safe too like the first two i mentioned

>>107638714
All you're missing a chink handheld. I recommend the Odin 2 Portal. Not just for emulation but for local streaming with that 4080.

>>107638711
Nope, this isn't a basic noob fix scenario. Carefully changed both the putty/pads and stock, dried-out thermal paste for superior alternatives. I tried both a PCM and traditional paste too in case the material of choice was the issue. VRMs/VRAM are fine, but not the rest. Even tried washer modding in case it'd improve mounting pressure, but that did nothing.
