Hi guys,

Let's say if my video card's temp is 90c, if i open the aircon to be the lowest 16c, would that help my video card to go down to say, 80c?

P/S i don't have a PC now, plan to buy one after 2-3 more years. But curious about how aicon can help to reduce the temp on PC / video card. Thanks.

Hi,

The bundle purchase, these shops won't allow buyers to choose what mobo or parts to purchase?

Thanks.

Asus 5090 the cheapest one is around rm5k more expensive than the Palit 5090, the performance and quality of Asus really so good?

Ic. I want to get a full pc build, but i can't justify the rm15-17K Asus 5090, it is 4-6k more than other brands. The other choice from that website is Palit around 11k.

Are MSI / Gigabyte still good? What are the recommended brands nowadays if don't want Asus?

This bullshit reminded me of those Bandai action figures. The company purposely created the environment to make people goreng the price. Shops have stock but purposely said no stock in order to goreng the price kaw kaw. There were many cases people pre-ordered, when items arrived and shops know is high demands, these shops told people they needed to cancelled the pre-orders cos didn't get enough stocks, after preorders were cancelled, then these shops increased the price and sell those stock with super high price that they supposed to give to those people who made the pre-orders.

Well, can't call all who want to buy a full bundle as waterfishes. I myself long planning to get a full bundle build with 20k-30k budget. (every 4-5 years get a full new PC build)

Eventhou i want to buy a full bundle and they know my budget can go up to 30k for full bundle, they still tell me "don't know need to wait until when", or "many people in the queueing list, will call those queue in front of me first". Basically i feel like the impression they give me is, even if they want to earn the money, but they can't due to have no stock to sell or not enough stock to sell.

Well, worst case i just don't buy it when i finally feel very tulan. Just become mr.waitforever, then wait for the next or next next GPU, after all the longer you wait the better tech / faster PC you will get.

Yup, not going to pay scalper price, i really don't want to be a waterfish. The card will only be the best for 2 years (assume no 5090 TI), really no point to pay double for it even if money is not an issue, just save the money and say no to scalpers.

I have made deposit, hopefully won't need to wait for too long.

I have pm-ed you the shop name.

Congrat bro. I am looking for msi / gigabyte 5090 also, also full new PC build bundling with other stuff around 25k. But no stock until now... (kept being offering other brands but i rejected)

I am aiming the 9950x3d since it will be launched soon (will be gaming and doing / learning AI stuff and also 3d sculpting related stuff). Would be feeling damn bad if this cpu is ready but the 5090 still no stock.

Tomorrow MH Wild is out, got to bear with my current laptop first

Btw, anyone also waiting for an ultrawide monitor that can support 5k2k with the latest display port 2.1 built in? I am aiming that LG bendable monitor but since the waiting to get the PC bundle might be very long, i am seeing if any other brands would make 5k2k widescreen in Q1/Q2, need more choices to decide.

Palit & Zotac extreme.

Thought can play MH wilds now... PS version started but Steam version needs to wait till tomorrow 11am/12pm, damn potong stim cos i selected Steam version this time...

Congrat!

I just checked youtube, RTX 5090 can run MH Wild with highest setting + RTX set to highest + 4K, and still over 70-90fps without frame gen.

Hmm, i am using a RTX 4070 8gb, by tuning some settings, it is very stable maintaining at > 70-100 fps most of the time. Not sure if the game is poorly optimized or not but it seems working pretty good so far. I have already done more than 40 hours on this game.

Btw, i think my GPU coming soon, similar to yours but mine is Suprim SOC without the liquid wording. Most likely i won't add those LED lights too.

Got a question, did you check to make sure the ROPS is correct before you make the full payment or before you take the PC home? I am scared if full payment is made then only do the testing, might be forced to take the flawed GPU. Btw, my GPU is ready but i can't take it yet due to the cpu not yet ready.

Just to share some experiences for 9950x3d + 5090.

1. I used the bios to enable the X3d gaming support (it will disable the non-3d vcache cpus).

Results :
a. MH wilds benchmark shows no different with the score. Smooth benchmark (tested a few times)
b. MH wilds the real game showing stuttering and lower / inconsistent FPS in game (tested a few times)

2. Disabled the X3d gaming support + follow grok3's suggestion by using Scalar 4X (total is 10x) for overclocking. According to Grok3, no voltage is changed, still maintaining at 1.19v. Grok3 said it is "free" upgrade that won't cause stability issue. I noticed only the cpu temp has jump to range 65-76 from 58-70 (rarely hit over 70).

As i checked the msi afterbuner's data, after overclocked, it shows all the 16 CPUs running at 5.48ghz.

Result :
a. Black Myth Wukong, the location that used to show 100-120 fps, now showing 125-140fps. (The cpu temp for this game remained around 62-69 when i was doing the testing, while mh wilds was 65-76)
b. MH wilds also showing higher fps like 10-20 extra.

For these 2 games, most obvious change i have noticed is, MH Wilds' FPS become more consistent compare to before the overclocked, less fluctuation. Edited : Wukong's FPS was consistent even before the overclocked.

I am using the MSI x870e carbon wifi mobo.

I was thinking to make it if gaming only use the x3d cores, non-gaming tasks full cores, didn't know the result for MH wilds became so bad after the non-x3d cores were disabled. Anyway all good now, temp only up a bit, and the frame rate becomes much more consistent and better now.

Sharing some info again.

1. For monster hunter wilds, when in the camp screen (with the palico), the fps was consistently 180-190 max (highest setting, raytracing highest, 4k, frame gen on). P/S this game not supporting multi frame gen

2. I used the Nvidia tool to force DLSS4 (Set it to use the latest DLSS instead of the DLSS3.7 shown in the in-game option). After done, the same camp screen with Palico increased to max 220-225 consistently (Every time i went in the camp, i stopped there monitor the frame rate)

3. After some time, I proceeded to adjust the HDR setting with contrast, brightness, etc. After done, noticed the fps consistently reduced to 205-208 max.

DLSS4 increased around 35 fps with frame gen, but after adjusted some HDR settings, the fps dropped around 20fps. Anyway, at least still increase around 15fps at the scene.

P/S MHW has an area with optimization issue or buggy, walked to that area, fps would dropped 40-60 fps, walked a few step away from it, fps will back to normal. And that area that causing the fps drop has nothing special, just a road with nothing.

I enabled the DLSS4 for MHW via the Nvidia app, but still no MFG tho, but do noticed extra frame rate.

DLSS4 supposed to reduce the artefacts created by FG, but so far i haven't noticed any artefacts when playing Wukong and MHW. The only part that might have obvious artefacts i suspect is the hairs / furs of those monsters, i tried no FG and with FG, sometimes the FG looks like more messy / unnatural on the hairs / furs, but sometimes it seem looks the same as no FG. P/S i looked at those furs / hairs closed up after killed the monsters, and i checked that out before enabled DLSS4, so not sure how much it has improved with DLSS4.

What games you were playing? I don't think 3080 can load ultra setting (i assumed ultra setting = highest setting, the highest raytracing setting alone will already made many games crawling on 3080) + 1440p with consistent 60fps for games like indiana jones the great circle, blackmyth wukong, MH wilds, etc

Both. Making full use of it at the moment. AI is kinda additive and fun once exploring it.

I see, i never play FPS due to will get nausea. The fps is raw or with frame gen?

I never like those random generating things. So far i am exploring those workflows (comfyUI) that can give me better control over what i want / expect. There are workflows that can generate different images consistently with the same characters on the images, and also can train using specified people's photos to become the consistent character output, etc. Also testing installed deepseek on my PC to further explore / understand what / how it can help me, etc. Using grok/chatgpt/deepseek/etc to work on coding also saving lots of time, thought this one no need a powerful PC.
