Confirmed it was the MB, X570-E arrived today, up and running the 5800X again

Attachment 338316

Very good you are up and running again, that was quick!

BIOS updated, let the tweaking begin

The price of my Strix 3090 just dropped 458€ at CaseKing.
I paid 1810.93€, the price went up to 3,067.42€, now it's down to 2,609.01€ .
That goes for all the 3090's they have in stock now(price dropped finally, I mean)
When I got my card

Now


So maybe the market prices have peaked, and now the is the slow decline.
Maybe due to the world getting vaxed, so manufactures can make and by the parts for graphics cards, mainboards, and silicone.

China banned Bitcoin, there should be GPUs galore.

It was the MB, I confirmed after swapping everything out

The board was pretty much new, only had it about 6 weeks
