I volunteer as tribute! 🥰 Have rebuilt like 4 times so far, it has been immense fun getting things to work to my satisfaction. Definitely will be gunning for a white version also when it happens (with black side panels if possible) to match my aesthetics 🤓

Don’t know! Might have a defective unit. Things work fine now, so not going to rock the boat.

Received my LinkUp 23cm single reverse cable. Swapped out the '4.0' ADT unit I got recently, and the LinkUp worked first shot, on 'auto' mode too. In the bin this ADT one goes. Their support on AliExpress has asked me to run it at 3.0 speeds, even though advertised at 4.0. Hogwash.

Nah I’m good but thank you 😎. Every time I’ve done a BIOS update on this board I’ve filled my pantaloons, so weird how some b550s have flashback. The one before this current one was stuck on a black screen for 30+ mins on a recent flash, thought I bricked it. Thought it might have been because I...

Wanna try updating to 4002? 😂 Given windows is playing funny buggers, I almost want to format and see what happens 🧐

Assumption is correct! Running a 5600X with the BIOS version of 4002 (2021/06/19). And FYI, GPU-Z was showing it as running at "PCIe x16 4.0 @ x8 1.1" from memory. Didn't need the app to tell me that something was wrong given the screen was flashing black every ~10s 😂. That was without the...

I tried the PCIE 4.0 ADT riser on AliExpress posted here a few pages ago. Had to sand down ~1mm off each side to get it to fit, but ultimately couldn't get it running @ 4.0 (tried a combination of AUTO/GEN4 in my X570-I BIOS). Would freeze Windows bootup if enabled, and tried a DDU in safe mode...

This wouldn't happen to be the new riser, would it? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002758163643.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.29.21c36041W7Mu8X I'd like to order one if so. Else, will grab a PCIE4.0 from Linkup (23cm single reverse).

So, is there a PCIE 4.0 riser out there in the wild that we can use without issue/performance hits? Or is there an official unit in the works? Would love to update to a 3080 sometime in the near future, but do not want to deal the 4.0 mobo+3.0 riser+4.0 GPU handshake issue that exists.

Assume this is the 3X OC model?

So the 3080 TUF/OC variant is what I'm after, but stocks are trickling in to Australia at snails pace. What is everyone else using successfully in their T1 cases with minimal/no mods (3080s only)? A 3080 FE is out of the question (Australia always gets the short of the stick when it comes to FE...

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Been running for a month now without problems :) 1. Don't have any pics right now, as I'm waiting for a 3080 to come in so I can do a final 'complete' showcase. The tubes actually fit on the right side closest to the ram going upwards, and just over the ram...

I'd like to, but I use things like NVENC, RTX Voice, etc... and nVidia's drivers are a hell of a lot more stable. The AMD card seems a bit smaller which is great, but performance/stability are my two main requirements. If AMD can bring the goods and prove otherwise, I'll go full team red in this...

Looks like I have my PSU oriented the other way up (or is that down?). I'm about ready to pull the plug on one of these, except for the fact that they're non-existent in terms of stock level (at least here in Australia). 2021 looks to be the case :(

Finally got my case and built the thing. Unfortunately it came with a few small finish imperfections, not sure if I should raise an issue with this for QC purposes? Incredibly tough with the lack of decent instructions, had to watch a few videos/look at other builds to really get a grasp of...
