Gaterons are my favorite. I have an Anne pro 2 with Gateron Browns and a ducky with mx Browns and like the Gaterons more.

Looks like the NDAs on the 3080 expire on Monday so maybe we’ll see some good benchmarks before launch day.

How long does it usually take 3rd parties to get their cards out?

I'm not an ultra wide guy too, but I've been thinking of getting one for MSFS.

Not making a monitor purchase now until I get my hands on a 3090.

Idk, I'm not interested in any AIB cards because WC.

But usually, they lag behind a few weeks after the Founders Editions. For some reason I believe they are all launching together this gen on September 17th.

It's better to go founders for water cooling?

No just usually cheaper. Don't need any upgraded cooling solution, which is more pricey, plus blocks are usually a little cheaper.

Kinda surprised nobody is selling just the board with no stock cooler for a little cheaper, with water cooling getting more popular.

I might stick my toe in the water this time with an AIO for the CPU.

How much more of a pain is water cooling the GPU?

I don't believe they legally sale to consumers that way, not certain but believe I've read that eons ago.

Water cooling is easy. I've done hard acrylic and flex, but just do all flex now. Must easier to deal with when changing parts.

Edt: If local to BR/NO I dont mind helping.

I have a 9900k right now and want to switch to AMD. Do I:

A) get new X570 mobo and Zen 3

B) Wait for AM5/DDR5 mobos before making the switch to AMD CPU?

I try to sit on MOBO/CPU combos for 3-4yrs.

GPUs every gen, but I go a few gens between CPU/MOBO upgrades.

2080Ti reference MSI

Haven't sold because still use, and no telling when I can actually get my hands on a 3090, will probably need to over pay on ebay.

If I upgrade to a 3070, the 2080 would be so shite for resale I would probably throw it in my server to handle the Plex transcoding.

Open up a bunch of free cores

Yeah what is 200-250 bucks? I would just keep it for other projects.

Yeah, if it's a monster I say go for it now. Give it two gens+ before you upgrade again.
