Hardware Thread 2020  

Hi,
About done now
No decent gpu so only thing can be oc'ed is memory and I'm wore out on the last board and buggy bios for more of that.
I get really bored of cinebench lol

Well I don't care that much about cinebench or its results ....never have Mike.

Hi,
Wildly inconsistent but about the only cpu only test
Night raid and skydiver were fun on 10900k

Hi,
Irony
I spent 1100.us on board and cpu instead of gpu lol
Been cpu/ memory benching too long

Talking about Night Raid Mike....you made me check mine....and lookie here.

What's new in 3DMark 2.12.6955 — June 25, 2020

This is a minor update. Benchmark scores are not affected.
Fixed

Fixed the rare "No DXGI adapter with given LUID found" issue when using the new GPU selector feature.

Hi,
Nice yeah this benchmark freaks me out a little how much difference going from 5930k to 10900k did on the same gpu

Well Thrash it looks like it has killer power delivers.
Hopefully your CPU's silicone is rockin' too, and let the clocks tick with low voltage & amperage, May your OC headroom be spacious!

Hi,
I don't have a formula anymore returned it back to amazon saved 100.us
Bought an apex instead vrm's haven't gone over 55c yet so water block is not needed at all

Plus apex dimm_2 slot holds 2 m.2 and uses pch not cpu or gpu lanes
Even extreme 750.us+ board dimm_2 slot uses cpu lanes lol and of course the formula's m.2 layout sucks completely.

So yeah I don't miss the formula at all.

Hi,
Yeah after all the stories about newegg and mother board damage and rma rejections I'd prefer amazon too
But these boxes are asus sealed so I didn't mind getting it from newegg

Amazon does have free returns and that is where i got and returned my z490 formula
Never saw an open box discount come up either.

Attachment 285720

I thinking of not buying from newegg as well they have gotten terrible and cut staff down
They closed the will call center that they had and now when you get packages they looked like they were in a flood

They can't even keep their delivery promises i waiting for items for my build that just came too late now i have the boxes here and probably just build a rig for my Wife's brother family

Amazon is next day service almost just beats Newegg hands down and none of the return hassle BS

Hi,
Well not always only sold and shipped by amazon or fulfilled by amazon are ezpz

Newegg always has best price on memory so that's pretty much all I've gotten from them in the past

Amazon free returns really gets weird on unsealed boxes lol these newer boards with asus seals on them is a welcome change seeing amazon you never know what is being sent new or open box without a seal
