My new rig was making a little annoying coil whine, so I thought for a minute about if I did anything wrong with the build, and then it hit me. I put a y-splitter 6+2/6+2 on the damn 3090 FE, putting all of its load on a single cord. Ah, shit. It’s too high of wattage for that. So, I swapped it out with two separate cords coming from the PSU to the card’s adapter. Much better.
3090 FE’s have an adapter that turns two 8-pin inputs into a single 12-pin coming into the side of the card, like so.

When I saw the waterfall effect scrolling across the Corsair RGB RAM, I felt stupid that I hadn’t picked up a windowed case. So, I got a window for it. And a lighting kit for the 5v addressable header coming off the mobo, because at that point, why not go all in?
The performance is everything I wanted and then some. The RTX 3090 can run RDR2 with everything on Ultra at 5120x1440 on the 32:9 ultrawide at an average of 90 frames per second. It makes SLI utterly pointless.
On the CPU, I noticed my idle temps were 38 to 45C, 60 to 70C under load, and 86C max. I had to run the fan on that poor Noctua UH-12S on a turbo profile to get it to cool. At first, I thought I’d selected too small of a cooler, but as it turns out, Ryzen 9 5900Xes run hot and there’s basically nothing you can do to stop them from running hot. It doesn’t matter if you have a low-profile cooler or a 360mm AIO. It will run hot. Everyone posts temps that are in the same general range no matter what heat sink they have. Therefore, the NH-U12S with the iPPC fan is actually plenty enough to run at stock clock. Still have to fiddle with the fan profiles some more to try and tame the noise, though.
Next up, to try Crysis and Star Shitizen.
+Amazing picture in games that support ultrawide resolutions.My 3090 FE has quite a bit of coil whine as well, and it's gotten more noticeable once I put a waterblock on it. It isn't that loud, but it is kind of annoying. Also, what do you think of the samsung G9? I've thought about getting one, but not sure if it would be worth the price.

Will Alder & Meteor lake finally bring Intel back as the performance king? I don't know if TSMC will have enough fab space and yield for Zen 4's 5nm chips.
It really doesnt matter if alder is better. Rocket lake is already shaping up to be a decent arch performance wise. So long as intel is stuck using 14nm they will always be hitting a performance wall, we can see that with the 11900k.Will Alder & Meteor lake finally bring Intel back as the performance king?

When do people think we'll see a new generation of professional cards? From my superficial knowledge it looks like everything right now is about the gaming cards.
Given they're hiving off a whole set of their silicon for mining now, when shit sticks on the moon, baby.
They have been talking about the A6000 for a while. A 48GB card and priced as such. You would think that they would skim some chips off the top to build up and put out some of their premium priced Quadros. Looking at Dell they have some Turing Quadro's left while HP only seem to only have the lower end ones. Lenovo doesn't sell stand alone cards but they sell systems with the 8GB Quadro RTX 4000(RTX 5000 is the high end one before going over into whatever crazy machine learning cards they built at the time).When do people think we'll see a new generation of professional cards?

Bot privilege is being about to buy all the RTX 3060s in 5 nanoseconds.
The Radeon 6700 XT is coming soon. They need to delay launch by about 4-6 weeks just to build up stock levels.
so, enjoy being able to buy GPU in 2022 (if ever)NVIDIA's mining lock is only for Etherium, you can still make 7 bucks a day with the card lol.
