RTX 4090 Owner's thread

nice to see some one with the same case as me, it looks like it'll fit quite nicely. are you able to close the glass?

 

Sorry what? Are we not allowed to even have a discussion at all about events surrounding the 4090?

 

sure, just as im allowed to call it the hysterics it is.

 

Guys, it's time to sell the RTX 4090 and buy the Radeon 7900 XTX. Is Radeon 7900 XTX ray tracing performance 2x faster than RTX 4090?

 

lol, no.

 

My Intel build is complete. Very happy with the results and I'm done with PC builds for awhile. I guess this year I made up for lost time LOL!

I was able to get another 4090 TUF OC from Microcenter and happy to report that I have zero coilwhine. The same 1600 watt Seasonic Prime power supply is in this system.

The AMD build and Intel build is very quiet. I think the 1600 watt Seasonic Prime PX is the way to go guys. This is my second build with no noise. Thanks again to my buddy Matt for his expertise and answering so many questions.

 

Since the BIOS update on my AMD build, Spider-Man plays perfectly. On my Intel build Spidey keeps crashing lol! Sheeesh!

 

Had some CTDs with my 13700k in spiderman due to unstable RAM overclock, increasing Vccsa to 1.25v stabilize it.

 

In both Turn Off Core Isolation (Win11)

 

And e-waste cores.

 

I have 2x 4090, and have no intention to change them for 7900xtx. I'm buying 7900xtx to test it out anyway.
Too bad AMD did't go the whole way to the top, because the 4090 price wil stay the same...
Second best GPU's, I don't care about as much

 

I've noted increased CPU temps on my 5900X but I'm guessing it's because i'm more often CPU bound (3440x1440 & 4K) than I was with my old RTX 3080?

 

That + a gpu that dumps more heat inside your case.

 

Thanks. I will and can not change my configuration. All Nvme slots are all ready in use by 3 Samsung 980 pro. So i have only sata drives to go to. 4 HDD and 2 sata SSD. I need a lot of storage for my work. I chose aircooling and stays on that, I am not a fan of water inside my pc and air is more reliable than water. Only fans can go on aircooling. While with water there risk of leaks, pump failure and more maintinence needed. Air cooling is where i will stay on.

About fans. Some fans are controlled by mini-itx and others by the atx. Meaning with only one system on. Not all fans are running at the same time. Also with more fans allows me to run fans at lower rpm with less noise. As i am working with my pc for several hours a day and it stays close to me. silent system is important. So its hard to change how it is now. System is configured for needs.

 

I can close the tempered glass side panel yes. But wires are rubbing on the glass when closed. Hence why i have ordered a new cable from cablemods. Also to get something that looks better and is hopefully not a fire hazard as well.

 

Would anybody with a 4090 TUF OC be so kind and share the 4090 TUF OC VBIOS (silent and performance)?

 

Can you use Strix OC bios?

Yes, thanks. Although I'm specifically looking for the TUF OC ones, just to try them out and see which ones work best.
Alas, it isn't up on techpowerup since apparently one can't dump/upload the TUF vBIOS with GPUz for whatever reason. One has to dump it using the latest nvflash from Techpowerup instead.

 

The first time i put some load on the 4090 it shocked me how loud the coil whine is. Just to find out during closer inspection, it isn't the 4090 but my 700 Watt powersupply what is whining. Already ordered a 1200 Watt one with proper 12vhpw to 12vhpw connector. But it seems that currently all powersupplys are delayed.

 

Sure, but no need to act childish about it. Anyway there is 2 more that have popped up with the ATX 3.0 cable as well, while we still have the adaptors daily picking up as well.

I went from a 7year old PSU to a 1200W GF3, coil whine.....did drop a bit but early on with my old PSU i had the side panel off since i couldn't close the panel. It's...pretty shocking :O.
