I think this is worth a double post. Thanks to@raynikI was able to purchase one of these from EVGA today: https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=10G-P5-3899-KR

 

I'm also in queue at 10:01:38 for a 3090 Kingpin HydroCopper, so maybe next month or so I'll get that. Who knows.

Noice !  ...for the 3090 model, you may want to give some thought about extra cooling for the backplate, since 3090s have dual-sided VRAM. My 3090 Strix OC (w-cooled, w-custom backplate) is getting M.2 coolers w/ Thermalright strips on the weekend, in addition to the fans already there...does make an important difference w/ 3090s. I might add an active-cooled backplate from EKB later when it becomes available for the Strix...

lol,everybody posting their new video cards,and I'm going to Wally World in the morning for a new printer....   Somehow my equipment feels justified wanting to know when it's gonna get splurged on.

Dude, tell me about it. I have completely given up on GPU's. It's not worth it. Unless one falls in my lap, i'm not doing anything other than catching a shuffle when I can. Pointless.

lol, I keep trying the giveaways, but it seems I was ALOT luckier here than on other sites! (I think the random picker here liked me,I won twice) As for evga, still hoping...

Nice 

 

I'm ordering something similar tomorrow, albeit for a slightly different purpose:

 

I'll cut it into suitably sized strips to replicate this green effect in the items I've got in my display that contain fluorescent uranium (need 365nm wavelength):

Shhhh.... Let it ride.

Oh man, Dr. Dre - Let Me Ride is in my head now.

it's Dre Day 

 

bought two to play with FreeNAS but I'm probably not gonna end up swapping my NAS to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

 

guess we'll see 

[BWG]

Well, I think it's time to distinguish a PC between a cruncher. I almost put the 3080 in with the 1080 ti's, but it was just gonna be tacky.

 

In search of some good risers and a gpu bench.

 

 

[Bastiaan_NL]

That card looks good in there!
As for a GPU bench, I suggest building one yourself. It is a fun project

teeny tiny flash drives

 

apparently FreeNAS is fine on them and since whatever drive you install FreeNAS on is unavailable for storage .... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I use those for the boot partition on my laptop, and I've had them as the boot drive for my ESXi host.  I haven't used the USB 3.0 or 3.1 versions yet, but the 2.0 versions have been pretty reliable.

EVGA opened up their autonotify queue at 10AM PT for the KPE Hydrocopper block:

 

 

There were apparently a number of people hitting ctrl+F5 at the same time and as of now, I was the slowest to get in.

 

Must be because I'm ancient...

...may be it was because 'Frank' didn't make it past face control ?!

 

...anyhoo, more beautification tools - not for Frank, but for 'Project Raven' and its 5 gazillion wires and tubes
