I miss gpu boxes with sikkk robots or whatever on them
this modern design shit is lame

Just bought a 6800xt for 1160€, cheap as fuck when most i find are around 1300€

which model? the sapphire and asrock ones are great.

Is this plugged in correctly, or should it be loose?
Connected into a 24-pin EATXPWR on an Asustek Rampage III Extreme

is it wiggly?
if not, it's fine

I miss when GPU PCBs were different colors. ATI had red, Sapphire used blue to stand out, Nvidia had green.

>intel 1700
if i needed 1700 mobo right now i would buy that

how much of a gamble is it to buy an old 2nd hand mobo, something like a z97 or x99? just trying to bide my time waiting for new shit and price drops until later this year, so I can hop on to current-ish gen

push it deeper

I'm not sure what you could do to make sure it's not DOA, except to see it running yourself
as long as whoever you're buying from doesn't seem like they're going to fuck you over with a busted motherboard it's probably fine

what are pci ports on motherboards used for? is it just for harddrives or do i plug my gpu in it as well? how much is a good number to have?
how do i pick a motherboards? can you recommend me a one for 5950x?

that’s exactly what my sister said

Do you have paypal?

>rileyreid.jpg

I recommend you buy a Nintendo Switch at your local walmart this isn’t the /sqt/

CPU, mobo, and DDR4 aren't overpriced right now.

>pci ports
do you mean PCI-e slots or PCI-e lanes?
>is it just for harddrives or do i plug my gpu in it as well?
now I'm just imagining a gpu plugged into a sata port just rattling around in a case

lrices are never going down. I have observed that as items recently sold out are restocked, they are charging more. Specifically AM4 motherboards. They should be discounting them but they are already raising prices in anticipation of scalping discontinued technology

lol pwned dumbass
