I just had a bit of a look. Did you get it for close to retail when you bought it? That 3070 is holding up pretty well still. Very close to…

Wonder if it's worth finally upgrading from my 6900XT. I don't play a ton of games, but hate that I bought this card for double the price…

Same question. I currently have the Pixel 7 regular version. Not sure whether to keep it a bit longer until it gets to the last OS upgrade…

Thanks for those. Very helpful when comparing everything AM4 X3D and AM5 CPUs. I just wish the reviews included the non-X3D 5xxx series…

Didn't know you did reviews. I actually just stumbled upon one of your reviews while searching for reviews on the BL4…

Alright, thanks. I will take a look at all those. The free keychain one, I assume I can only get one (I assume you can't do two separate…

I need a new keychain, and this would come in handy at work late at night when going outback/outside. What do you guys recommend I buy from…

I tried to buy the RAM shortly after posting that reply to you last night, but for whatever reason, the price changed 40 minutes (can't…

I also did some reading/tried finding Youtube videos and it seems the 5900X level CPUs aren't really that much better than the 3900X for…

Thanks. Which would you buy out of the Vapcell ones and the Xtar ones? That's the other thing. I don't know which models are old and new.…

Thanks. I ended up passing on it. I really wanted something with 2.5Gb ports. I didn't need more than 1 port and would have easily bought…

How'd you go with the RAM? Did you run Memtest or something similar to test it?

Can you use this on computer fans on the lowest setting if you hold the fan blade so it doesn't spin?

No idea what charger to get. Trying to find some time to do some more research. Is it going to be a deal breaker to not get one of these…

Interesting. I saw they had those 48GB/96GB kits now. Why did they start making those capacities. 96GB would be good. Sounds like 6000Mhz…

Darn, that's by far the best price I've seen for. I'll have a think about it and pull the trigger later today if it hasn't sold out by…

>Upgrading the current platform.. >you are looking at $400-$500 for a CPU.. and $120 for the ram (extra 32gb assuming you have 2x16gb…

Well, since you mentioned budget, if I were to upgrade to AM5, my budget would go up as I'd wait until later like @Cheaplikethebird…

So you think wait for a sale on one of the new routers later in the year? And stick with AM4 for the CPU?

Yeah, I should have guessed with the X3D CPUs AMD would be the best sellers right now for gaming. I remember Intel were trading blows in…

Well, I guess this is a good option. I sort of always planned to get a 5xxx series CPU for the AM4 MB. It kind of seems a waste not to put…

Thanks Kelvin. I haven't been to OCAU for a long time, so I guess I should login and have a look. I've been out of the loop for the past 3…

Yeah, fair enough. Maybe I don't NEED to upgrade, but am feeling that the CPUs for AM4 might start drying up soon. I see the 5900XT as…

You pretty much nailed it. I'm curious to know how the 5900XT stacks up to the 5700X3D/5800X3D for gaming, and also how far behind it is…

Hey guys, I'm having trouble deciding what to do. I don't need to upgrade right away, but am trying to figure out whether or not to just…

I don't know much about AC vs DC. Can you still get one that plugs into a wall socket that converts the AC to DC? I'll have a look at those…

Sorry for the late reply. I appreciate it. I think I want something that can do AAA, AA, C and D sized batteries. I think a 4 battery…

I've got a NH-D15, but yeah, the price of the Thermalright easily wins out IMO. If I need any more coolers for other system/builds, I'll go…

Awesome, thanks. How are you finding the performance of the cooler? Have you used a similar dual tower cooler before? Another person is a…

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I find that kind of weird, though, as the reviews I've seen at GamersNexus seem to show the…
