I don’t know about everyone. Most of the chatter I heard was Q1, but I was generally thinking mid to late Q1. I think I even had a few posts on here to that effect.

Went ahead and ordered a couple of things.
CPU cooler
RAM
Not on sale, but I always get a price match w/i 30 days. The RAM always seems to be OOS. Have to jump in while it's still available.
Eying this mobo. I'll wait for a sale tho.

It’s a solid cooler, but damn, that’s a spicy price for air cooling 
Posted on 2/3/23 at 5:41 pm to Joshjrn
Yes it is.
The assassin cooler is like 7-8 dbs louder and only 1-2c hotter. I hate noise.
For only 1/3 of the price. I'm anal about cpu coolers.

Any reason you don't want to go AIO?
Posted on 2/3/23 at 6:38 pm to Joshjrn
Didn't we already have an argument about those?
I have a phobia about those fricking things. Realistic or not.

I’m spoiled on Lian Li fans. I don’t even care if they perform the best. I never want to deal with another cable rat’s best again
Posted on 2/14/23 at 8:02 pm to Joshjrn
well, they're(noctuca) 11 bucks cheaper than the corsair case fans that are in there.
There's some other fans they have that are 3 dbs less, but cost 37.99 each.

Ended up retiring my 1080p projector setup after a bulb blew in it and bought a 85" Samsung QN90b tv as a replacement, just an incredible deal for it through AAA/Samsung program (didnt even know it existed).
Hooked up the Ps5 and PC to it and holy hell is it awesome for gaming. I really need to get a current/last gen card to get 4k/120 working on it. My 5700 XT will only go up to 4k/60 through HDMI 2.0b. TV has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports on it which is nice for the future.

Going with a gen 4 pcie drive at first. I'll wait until the prices go down and more benefits with pcie 5.
crucial ps +
Got for 20 bucks cheaper than link earlier today tho.

Unless you’re routinely moving massive files from one Gen 5 NVME to another, there’s just no reason for it at this point. The memory controllers have barely improved from Gen 3 to Gen 5. So there’s very little gained in random read/write between generations.

Pcie5 drives still aren't out yet, I've been waiting for what feels like ages. Delayed twice now.
Microsoft direct storage uses every bit of the speed you can throw at it for gaming resulting in big gains in gaming.
Awesome new tech. Gen 4's aren't fast enough or made for it other than the Rocket G. They have to be built specifically for MS Direct Storage.

MSD's were hitting close to loading speeds on SATA vs NVME.
Not sure what they can actually achieve on regular parameters, but I think the tech is gonna be limited by consoles.
Nothing has jumped out on me in the most part. 4-5 years from now will probably be another story. By then, I'll be ready to upgrade.
Hell, I'm actually looking to downgrade from 7800X3d to 7700X. Not seeing the performance gain from a mid-grade gpu and a 1440P.

I was talking about Windows 11's Direct Storage feature.
Big gaming gains.
One of the more exciting new gen PC gaming features.

Unless you're counting a second or two on loading or way more by writing.
uber slow ssd vs recommended.

Direct Storage is indeed a big deal going forward. There’s simply zero evidence thus far that the increases in sequential read/write are going to matter very much. Until random read/write improves, an NVME is going to be an NVME, for the most part:
