    PCSPECIALIST Give up on the 3090 Strix?

    seems to me that you need to bribe ASUS factory instead of PCS staff

    PCSPECIALIST Video Editing, Gaming Streaming Build. Would this be best to do the job? Every comment appreciated.

    you can just log in to your account on the website and amend the order from there, it will be the fastest method and it won't change anything since it probably didn't even enter pre-production. with the 3070 and 5800X you'll have to wait a fair bit anyway, so during that period you can amend the...

    PCSPECIALIST Give up on the 3090 Strix?

    oh yeah, knowing that september strix 3080 are still on hold, I think I might swap to non-strix after all, sad times, but sacrifices must be made, and I cannot sacrifice any more of my time

    I did the same, while also pondering on the same issue. seems like everyone is jumping to 1000W RMx, let's hope we don't crash the 1000W stocks too lol

    PCSPECIALIST NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series!

    the capacitor related crashing issue was resolved via drivers weeks ago. but yes, as Tony said, the only way to know for certain is to order a strix, others will be whatever is available first

    anyone else got an email about 850W RMx stock and advice to change to something else? earlier they said these are due to arrive on 27th, but seems like something's gone wrong there

    PCSPECIALIST 3090 PC Build

    It would be best for you to post your full specs for some "investigation" by the members here, the words 10900K and work don't go well together in the same sentence these days, so you might want to think about changing up a few things, especially if you have other optimization issues in your...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    ah, I see, just seen it on the strix 3080 thread, some people got OC version of the non-liquid card and PCS said that the configurator doesn't really specify if it's OC or not OC, just "ASUS premium" in general, so just wondering if it's luck based or how are they treating it

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    interesting, are we all getting strix OC versions or just the lucky ones? since I've seen people report that they order both variants

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    I'd say there should be a good wave of orders nearing completion because on 27th there should be a shipment of 850W PSU's, so if there are builds that got their card and just waiting for that, those should be complete next week. Since I suppose 850W is a very popular choice for 3080, hence the...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    sounds like the building/testing team is working super fast to complete all the orders once they have the parts, and the communication between them and the team that handles the orders is too slow :) I can understand why the building team is pushing during this time, but I wonder if the other...

    PCSPECIALIST ASUS ROG Strix 3080

    most people are saying that it's either a sagging issue that imbalances the fans, or the shroud is not tight enough, so maaybe tightening the shroud or making a brace might help it, but it's best to wait for an official response. No idea how many are affected, but seems like enough to make a fuss

    the people who think 1080p is still relevant, haven't seen a bigger resolution to compare it with :) it's day and night when you see it with your own eyes, like I have a setup with ultrawide 1440p + 2x 1080p, when you drag a 1080p window into the ultrawide, you see how little it actually is

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop for mum

    I would definitely put 8GB of RAM in there, purely just for easier use with multiple browser tabs and multiple apps open, 4GB is not going to do well in 2020 and beyond. Bigger SSD would only be an improvement, no downsides there, and I would recommend going with the bigger option, 120GB is...

    PCSPECIALIST ASUS ROG Strix 3080

    Thank you, here are some resources for that: And the two forum threads on ASUS forums https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?121271-Strix-RTX-3090-Fan-vibration-issues/ https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?121556-Strix-RTX-3080-Fan-vibration-issues-and-scratches-on-LED-bar

    PCSPECIALIST ASUS ROG Strix 3080

    reviving this thread a little - I've been seeing increasing amounts of people complaining about the strix models (both 3080 and 3090) having issues with the fans, sounds like one of the fans is touching the shroud at certain speeds producing a very unpleasant sound, there are threads on official...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    yup, the only thing to improve here is reduce reaction time from 4ms to 1ms and it would be top tier (for that price range), but considering what you get for the price anyway, it's more than you could want

    while you're all out here talking big monitors and stuff, i'm sitting here with my xiaomi 34″ ultrawide for 450eu (that's gone down to 380-400eu now in EU warehouses). best bang for buck tech, can't wait to fully use all of its power

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    I would like to think so, getting this before christmas would be awesome, so I would be happy even if it got to early-mid december for the build stage. I will hit 33 working days on 27th, when the email states the build date, though I'd think at least another week is in there. Unless they really...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    doubt it, it's the early morning email, unless they got loads of strix 3080's delivered and a shipment of 5900X's. Just a bit weird, because the staff member here said they turned off all 3000 series automated emails? unless they didn't, lol 12th of October
