Nope. Would have been nice, but not with these models.

Oh, didn't realize the Sony piece. Still would hate for a time to come when everything is under Sony, Microsoft, and EA.

They really are trying to acquire everyone aren't they.

I'd be comfortable taking a look. Good call.

I was thinking the same thing, but thought I'd make sure I wasn't being dumb. Thanks for confirming.

I've got an older Corsair AX850 PSU (the gold one) I was planning to repurpose for my current build coming up. I probably bought it in 2011 and it's been sitting in my parts closet since 2015 when it came out of the old build that this current build replaced. Current build has an AX750 in it. I also have an unopened AX1200 from around that same era from an RMA. Kind of have a surplus of PSU's in my parts closet. Any reason this wouldn't be fine to use? I realize it's now 11 years old, but given it hasn't actually been used for 7 years, seems like it should be fine? Otherwise was going to look at just picking up a Seasonic Focus-GX most likely at the local MC, but if I don't have to, then not gonna. Edit: It's this one:

Those are exactly what I bought today, plus 10% off which basically covered the shipping.

Just ordered a GTS360 and GTX360 from PPCs with their MLK Day 10% off coupon code. They didn't have anything else I was looking for in stock unfortunately.

Samsung SSD's seem to be doing very well.

Yeah my only other slow computer still in the house is a cheap HP laptop from like 2006 or 2007, but its been long dead, missing power cord, and dead HDD with a non-standard SATA connection that doesn't work with regular SATA power/data cables. I want to say it was an AMD Turion and maybe an Nvidia 7150 integrated graphics? Outside of that, don't have anything running that is older than 2014. Do have all the parts still to my X58 system, might also have some LGA1156 stuff too, can't remember if I got rid of that or not. I definitely don't have my E8500 system anymore.

Was more thinking the fake $1199 MSRP. Just amazing. I feel lucky to have snagged a 3070 for $650 on a drop last year. Looks like it MSRP's closer to $1k now.

I'm still running a Strix 980 right now. If I had a decent backup (no not what's going in the new rig), I might be more of a risk taker on those.

Contribution for the slow list, my small ASUS Zenbook laptop that was like $600 in 2014 or 2015. EDIT: Oh nice, I had a T43, T60, T61, T410, T430 at one job back in the day. They really started dropping off with the T410 in my opinion though. I think we ended up RMA-ing every single one (hundreds) over their 3 year warranty for failed CPU fans and resulting "CPU fan error". And the T430 touchpad was just wrong and they switched to the chiclet keyboard vs the fantastic Thinkpad keyboards the previous models had. We also started having to do tons of HDD replacements even when people dropped them maybe a few inches (witnessed first hand). Made me say what happened to when these were tough?

Amazing. So day 1 these things are more than 3080 Tie MSRP. Man this market...

So how much do one of these run these days? Assuming got it from the notify queue?

And here I am just buying Gen 3 drives and SATA drives since I still need multiple TB of storage. My guess is it'll still be years before I care about gen4/gen5 speeds for real world performance in gaming.

That one might be aiming for the bottom of the list.

GloFo, didn't they kinda give up on pursuing modern nodes? Only thing I can still think of still using them in this space are the I/O dies for Zen 3 chips (if I recall correctly). Anyway, not really surprised by this news. Can't just spin up more capacity anywhere be it GloFo, TSMC, or Samsung like that.

I guess I lucked out having a Micro Center by me, though admittedly I got this 5600X on a Newegg shuffle when they first started. In retrospect, kinda wish I just held off and grabbed a 5900X when they started showing up at my local MC for $450 (they have since gone back up). I think I'll just stick with what I got, and grab whatever upgrade for my dead platform on the cheap when Zen 4 comes out. Mostly interested to see what happens with the 3D cache models, and if that will also go to a 5900X as the 5800X is not the one I really wanted.

LOL! I like how they highlighted it as a "3900XT (without cooler)". I like having stock coolers around, as a watercolor, I don't have aftermarket heatsinks lying around for doing quick tests. EDIT: Well at least not for AMD. Have plenty of Intel stock coolers lying around.

Sounds fine to me. Will be curious to see how that 5800X3D pans out. Or if they do a 5900X3D. Thinking I'll swap out my 5600X when one of those goes on sale at Micro Center. But also don't want too hot a chip, so curious how the layered cache will affect things.

That thread hasn't been active for at least a couple months. Last I remember was Mick talking about XTR issues and then mentioning how his role will be training people up. I haven't seen anything "official" in terms of discontinuations. EDIT: I also see X1 Clear and XT-1 Clear on their site looking right now. EDIT 2: Ah, see your edit now. Well guess we will see. Hard to say for certain unless there's been an official announcement, but I definitely agree that will have to see how Mayhems is going forward under new ownership. Like if X1 clear users start seeing Cryofuel clear gunk, well then... Being in the US, will probably opt for some ModmyMods Mod Water in clear when I restart this build.

How are temps on the 5800X @Bastiaan_NL? Always heard these ran hotter than even the 5900X since its just the one CCX of 8 cores so its not spread out like the 5900X at 2x6.

This just reminded me that I have a couple laptops I can try. One has a Bulldozer era APU and the other an Intel Core M of some sort. Now I am curious.

I do wonder about quality going forward, but got a source regarding discontinuations? First I am hearing of that.
