I was thinking that it sounds like a fan is not making proper contact in one of the slots, could be manufacturing tolerances ending in both extremes causing issues perhaps?

I did a quick search and found a 2019 LTT forum thread that showed some GN Benchmarking on Solidworks, and the P4000 is way ahead of the RTX 2060 in his results. https://linustechtips.com/topic/1066357-rtx-2060-vs-rx-580-for-catiasolidworksnx/

My experience : Despite not having a high or mid-range system (see sig), and needing to put low with FSR on everything but distance, the game runs fairly smoothly and still looks good. I have no prior experience with Conan, so I can't compare between the two. I find the building system, where...

Looks like MSI is skipping the 90x0 series. There are some speculation in the article that they might want to go all nVidia like EVGA was. MSI skips RDNA 4 and will not manufacture AMD Radeon 9000-series GPUs

My local Canada Computers Store still has 2 Asus Prime 9070 XT and 8 Asus Prime 9070 non-xt in stock according to the site, and a bunch others models/brands.

Looks like Canada Computers has them in stores ready to sell them. They got prices up already. Best priced items are these : Prices are in CAD of course. Most XTs are 1k$ CAD plus while non-XT are 800-1k$ CAD

Wow, 5,460$ CAD with 395 128GB, 2x8TB WD, OS, Noctua Fan, and a 1TB front drive, wicth colors and unique front plates.

So the MAX 385 with 32 GB of ram starts at 1579$ barebones (BYO SSD, OS, Fan, no front ports, no pretty colors) Edit: Price in CAD

Well looks like too many people are rushing in, the website has a queue system.

Yes, thankfully we have an authorized service provider that makes things easy for us (except for Dell, they make things difficult across the line).

Just wanted to add my 2 cents from a real-life non-game experience : At work, the security desk has a PC dedicated to cameras, so it runs a camera software. A brand new OEM workstation desktop was bought last winter. After about a year, the camera feed would go black suddenly and the software...

It looks like the Turin firmware is in a beta BIOS for that board, so maybe not for you, especially if your CPU exceeds 400W.

I'm not much into servers, but out of curiosity, I did find this : https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=GENOAD8UD-2T/X550#Specifications here : https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/product.aspx?item=9b-13-140-098&tpk=9b-13-140-098 If that is something you want.

Looking at the specs of the boards you listed, the best bet is the Gigabyte Aorus Pro, because the USB-C ports can support officially up to 4k 240Hz, so splitting that up into multiple 4k60 screens should be fine. The MASTER board shouldn't be needed unless you absolutely need what it offers...

I've mentioned this before in other posts :tearsofjoy: It's possible to get MST adapters to duplicate Displayport... ports. Some go directly into HDMI even. As long as you get HDMI 2.0+ adapters you should be OK with 4k60 output. Examples (Canadian sites) ...
