My Gaming Built - 5900X with RTX3080 ti

And seeing as we’re on it, I left BullGuard in one day on a spec. Six months later and it still occasionally gets brought up 😑

To be fair, it was Bullguard AND Standard Warranty...

See what I have to work with here?

I would swap the Corsair MP400 for an Intel 670p to get a much better write endurance. Make sure not to pick a different Intel m.2 drive, as the others have poor write endurance.

Thanks for the suggestion regarding Intel 670p. Can you explain what do you mean by better write endurance in comparison to the Corsair?

Write endurance is the number of program/erase (P/E cycles) that can be applied to a block of flash memory before the storage media becomes unreliable. NAND flash wears out because the oxide layer that isolates the floating gates in a flash memory chip are compromised after repeated P/E cycles.

I have three options for monitor @JUNI0R but will mainly be using it with my Dell Alienware AW3821DW. I also have a Samsung CRG9 which I use for work and I have a LG CX OLED TV.

Also good shout on the hard drives. I might actually do that - changing it to 500GB 980 Pro as my boot drive which I will not be using much and then change to a Corsair M.2 - the total costs ended up about the same and I have to just pay 1 EUR extra.

You have TWO ultrawides? Not fair.

Surely you need to buy a couple more and then you can have them all around you in a full circle for genuine 360o surround vision....?

I want to throw it out there. Is there a reason why I should be changing the motherboard from ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING to CROSSHAIR VIII HERO WIFI? Is it worth the top up for my built?

Not for the 5900x, there’s no benefit.

there are reasons to upgrade the mobo, but they are small. Mostly overclocking, better audio, better power delivery, better cooling on that power delivery. CMOS reset button and stuff like that, unless you overclock like me, not really worth the upgrade

 

[loso64]

oh also, do note that overclocking PC yourself supposedly voids your warranty with PCS.

That's not accurate, only overclocking the GPU.

Thanks - what's the difference in the audio you're referring to?

If audio is important, then you wouldn’t use integrated anyway, you’d either get a DAC if it was for hifi purposes or a audio interface if it was for production.
