Sherdog PC Build/Buy Thread, v6: My Power Supply Burned Down My House

I'm perfectly happy with my 1080ti and my 165hz predator 1440p screen, In a few months my e-peen will go floppy and I'll probably have a 2080ti after an impulse buy.

If you are running 1440p what would the 2080 do for you? The 1080ti should be smashing it at 1440 already right?

I've got a large disposable income, its not about what it would do for me, its about my lack of impulse control and flexing on people online with my specs.

Which 1080ti do you have? I'm leaning towards an Asus Strix.

That's an interesting looking card.

the RGB lights are great, but RGB lighting on fans in GPU's to me is pointless unless I hold my computer over my head while I game.

The back plate is weird

Can you get Jonsbo stuff where you live? I'm assuming your not in Murica because I haven't ever seen Colourful for sale here.

I'm in Australia, I've never even heard of Jonsbo hahaha. Colourful is the 2nd cheapest brand here, with the cheapest being Inno3d

We don't get Inno3d stuff either. Galax was making a push in the US but it looks like they pulled out.

If you have a vertical GPU mount then I could see the use but otherwise most people won't need it at all

Beat me too it.

My mobo lays flat in my case so my gpu fans are what you see most through the side panel lol.

In my next build in my bigger case I have thought of doing the 90 degree mount kit add on

Gig a320 m(mini atx mobo)
1x8 3000,1x8 3200(I have the 2x8 3200 kit but both 3200’s won’t fit because of cpu fan width. The 3k ram stick is narrower than the 3200’s)

Haven't posted much lately (or gamed for that matter), but I was walking through Canada Computers and found something that caught my eye. I wasn't planning to get RTX until more games utilized ray tracing, but it was in stock at MSRP and I couldn't pass it up. Plus, in a worst case, I have something to overclock and benchmark.

I need help, hoping someone can supply it.

Onkyo entertainment receiver of 19 years finally died last summer. Went out an bought a Yamaha receiver.

My Pc is behind my home entertainment center. With my Pc Audio card feeding into the back of the Yamaha receiver. When gaming i use the headphone jack on the receiver. Recently the headphone port on the receiver appears faulty; not recognizing the connection on insert and or recognizing the connection then disconnecting after X amount of minutes. After 15-20 minutes of fighting it the headphone jack will finally recognize a proper seating.

Years back i tried a splitter. Sadly it didnt support two stereo sources. Need a proper solution now.
