I've been in the 3070ti queue window 5 times already, but every time it hangs after that and gives an error.. Been trying for an hour now

If I could have gotten the 3080ti at the time I bought my 3090's (6 months ago) it would have been an easy choice to go with the 3080ti. But there was no 3080ti at that time, and I'm glad I bought these More than 2 billion points in 6 months on 2 cards alone

Between 5.75m and 6.2m at 2050mhz, max load between 85% and 90%

That's kinda scary...

From a business standpoint I get this temptation, a little more write-off is not that bad. I'm glad though that you were able to buy them for a normal price. I'm glad I got my first 3090 right after launch at a local shop. Compared to what they go for in the States it was a bit more, but it's been the same forever. USD price is the same as EU, though the Dollar is cheaper than the Euro. And after a few weeks I saw the second 3090 for sale, for €50 less than the first so I didn't hesitate and bought it. And I'm glad I did, cause the price went up €500 and sometimes even more. What they are asking now over here is just crazy, and I'm not tempted to buy anything for that much extra over what I paid a few months ago. We don't have anything like that over here, no showroom or hardware store, just webshops. I would love to wander through the Microcenter and enjoy all the hardware I want one of them Tie-s!

Thanks. Might need an OC.. The 13446 units are not really power hungry, so the temps might climb a little. Looks good though, and maybe even better after a new driver or 2! That's weird, maybe it has to do with the fact it's an XC3 and not an FTW3. And triple post...

That looks great! What is the core clock at?

Nice! Have fun with that card

Congrats Which one did you get? [edit] Nvm, found it in the "post your last purchase"

The Dutch webshops start at €2250 / $2730 for the cheapest 3080ti, they have lost their mind...

Me likes shiny Will you need those shims to get enough pressure from the cooler on the IHS? Otherwise you could use longer springs to get more pressure, I even searched for the option of direct die cooling. But after watching someone rip a few parts from the chip I decided not to do that.. The weird thing with this chip is that the max temp under small fft's is 21°C over ambient, but as soon as I stop the workers it jumps 5°C up over the max temp. And now, an hour later I see a max temp of 31°C over ambient, one of those weird spikes. So in the end it didn't matter for the spikes, just the temp under load dropped a bit. Now I'm not scared at all about that max temp, its 30°C below the max but I hate to see it jump around like that. Sounds pretty epic if you could get a 9900k working on a z170, but that's not really something I would put my time into. I mean, it's really cool if you can get it to work but I don't really need it. 2 of the 3 systems only have a CPU to keep the GPU's working, and the 3950x is just because I could. Maybe I would have been better of with less cores and higher clocks, but bigger is better right?

That looks great next to the cabinet! And pretty big, way bigger than I imagined it to be. Nice work @Avacado

Ah, that makes more sense to me. I just checked the LARS database and both the p400 and the p620 stats were still under Windows. Let's hope it works, we'll soon find out.

It must be nice to understand what you are doing. You could have written that in Chinese and it wouldn't have made a difference to me But great that you've got it working, let's hope it'll report the stats under Linux on the LARS database!

Would be great to have a Westfalia camper, but I would need a big trailer for all the tools and parts limiting my allowed top speed by a lot

I was not happy with the temperature spikes on my 3950x, so I decided to check the flatness and give it a good polish on a lapping stone at work. Here is the first run with 180 grit, pretty clear that it hits the wrong area first. I kept going with 180 until there was only copper showing and stepped it up a few hundred grit at a time, finishing with 2500. The system has been running p95 small fft's for an hour now, not exceeding 20°C over ambient maxing out at 57°C on the full loop (420 and 280 x 45 rads, still waiting on a HK block for the 3090). I've not seen any of the temp spikes, but I'm sure that's not fixed but only a bit lower than it used to be. 180p first run: 180p second run: Finished product, 2500p I never noticed your reply, but thanks! I love that build, way more than my main system. Not going to jinx myself but I can't complain about the z170/7700k

Yeah, best case it'll see over 5 mil on some of the units. I mean, average on the 3090 is 6.4 mil but I've seen well over 9 million PPD on some of the units. But for a 24/7 usage an average around 4 mil PPD would be good. If only I was living in the USA...

That's about 2 mil over a 3070? I don't think they'll hit that, but close to 4 mil would be perfect.

I was a bit late, had a meeting at work. Gave it a try anyways, maybe I can help out someone else who needs it. Like you said, you can always sell it. I'd like to get one or two 3070ti's though, hoping they do a decent job folding.

Though I'm not a captain, I think this is pretty fair. I'm sure running 7 days at stock clocks and no beta flag is a better baseline than the LARS database. I like the way that system looks/works, reminds me of all the crazy stuff I used to do for a few suicide runs The 2080ti system runs pretty good, maxed out at 22.5°C over ambient which was 30°C today. Still holding 2055mhz and over 5.7mil ppd on the 13448 units, can't complain about that. That unit runs a little low on power consumption though, so with a unit that manages to pull 330w it'll run a bit warmer (though I will cap the power at that point).

I was a bit confused, "what are you listening right now" and "ban the above user" in the "post your last purchase" topic Someone had some really deep pockets! At least the dealer won't bug you about that car anymore.. Are you sure those tables are strong enough?

Nice, I always like checking out everyone's hardware Multi GPU/PSU would be nice and maybe fan size/brand/model.

So many boxes, Christmas every day 3 full wc builds will be very heavy... You might have to get an engine hoist to move it!

Looks really cool! @BWG How are the temps with that rad? (360x45?)

I'll take a pair of the 3070Ti FTW3's
