Where was this info on webiste? Spent a few minutes looking around but didn't see it

I'm running 750W with 5800X3D + 7900XTX Nitro without issue They have me at 800W with all my bits included

Issue I have with 2Gbps (or even 1Gbps) is the amount of source locations that can provide that throughput Most shit just downloads at…

MSI seems dodgy then 204W for 7800X3D?! Sounds like a great way to upsell bigger PSU's people don't need…

Are you sure you used it correctly? I just did - 5700X3D + 105W - ATX MB + 70W (175W) - AMD 9070 + 320W (395W) - 2*16GB + 12W (407W) - 1TB…

Let's hope you're wrong

Depends on the games you're playing Sometime it's only 20% better, other times it's 70%…

Will tariff even affect us if we're importing from south east asia? If anything, it'll likely increase chances of price drop as there will…

You'll be fine with a 600W The 800W is for poorly designed Intel CPU's like 14900KS…

What case are you running? I'd like to put together a Fractal Ridge for HTPC & console-like gaming There's a few that fit but Reaper top of…

Reaper legit the best bang for buck and smallest form factor. MVP…

Depends how paranoid you want to be with those 12V connectors. I don't have an opinion on them yet, so don't ask me :) No PTM on that one…

Gigabyte XT available but $1399 https://www.pccasegear.com/lp/rx9000-release…

100% undervolt. Just did my XTX and my temps dropped like 15c. Insane

I'd be curious how much undervolt & OC potential the Reaper has against the Red Devil and if it warrants the 14% price diff

I think getting any 9070 XT on release is a good buy lol

Reaper looks like the MVP this release Great price, great performance and (I think) the smallest dimensions for those that care about SFF…

It's due to having to account for Intel's poorly designed CPU's like 14900KS Go with 7800X3D or similar and you can easily go 600W…

I just undervolted my 7900 XTX and was ridiculously easy & still stable. Temps dropped noticeably too. I havent bothered looking, can a…

680m GPU https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-680M-GPU-Benchmarks-and-Specs.589860.0.html

Wasn't a joke post, I just naively assumed Unifi were consistent with their AP's. That's good to know about what models to avoid I'm on U6…

If you want reliable https://www.ubntshop.com.au/unifi-wi-fi-7-pro-ap-2x2-mimo-wi-fi-7-2.4ghz-5ghz-6ghz-tri-radio-2.5gbe-uplink

At this price point, may as well go a proper setup with Unifi

Was the best value card by far

In reality the best thing is for everyone to be grateful for what they have, not what the latest shiny thing is. e.g. Buy that 7800XT for…

Hindsights a wonderful thing. 980 Ti was worth HODL'ing for, 3080 series was worth HODL'ing for. Nvidia are just boning everyone because…

Intel showed promise with B580. If they followed up with something that performed like a 9070 raster for $800 AUD, that'd gut these sales.…

My bad, it's late at night. Those 9070's would be worth it if they were $999 or lower. They're about 15% slower, so should be 15% cheaper…

https://www.macrotrends.net/2551/australian-us-dollar-exchange-rate-historical-chart - ~0.75 in 2016 - ~0.65 in 2025 Lets say 15%

https://www.inflationtool.com/australian-dollar/2016-to-present-value?amount=600&year2=2025&frequency=yearly $600 is $780 with inflation…
