RTX 5070 Ti released Feb. 20th; RTX 5070 to release on Mar. 5th.
R9 9950X3D - RX 9070 set to release in early March.
Asrock motherboards are frying AMD CPUs - https://archive.is/QuoZM

>12V-2x6
The chances of burning are much lower on newer batches of 40 series cards and 50 series due to an improved connector. Said connector can still melt if the cable is not seated fully and/or bent.

>Intel Raptor Lake / RPL Refresh
Instability reported with 13th and 14th gen, i5 K SKUs and above (incl non-K). Update BIOS and apply Intel Baseline settings. Avoid purchases.

>CASE
ATX: Lian Li O11D EVO XL, Antec Flux Pro, Torrent Fractal Design North XL

>CPUS
HTPC(4K60)/Web Browsing: i5 13400
Gaming: R7 9800X3D
Multicore: R9 9950X; budget: i5 13600K
>Avoid iGPU-less CPUs
>Existing AM4 board with an old chip? Bite the bullet and upgrade to AM5 instead of being bottlenecked by legacy hardware.

>GRAPHICS CARDS
1080p: RTX 3060 12 GB / 4070 Ti SUPER; driver overhead beta tester: Arc B580
1440p: RTX 5070 / 5070 Ti
2160p: RTX 5080 / 5090
Amateur production: RTX 3060 12GB, 4060 Ti 16GB, used 3090, used 4090, 5090

4k on DLSS performance looks better than 1080p DLAA / native = same performance, higher fidelity.

Avoid AMD GPUs like the plague. Spending ~50 dollars more for Nvidia's software suite alone is worth it.

>RAM
DDR4: Zen3/AM4 - 2x 16GB 3600 MT/s CL18; for locked "non-K" 12th/13th/LGA1700 - 2x 16GB 3200 MT/s CL16
DDR5: Zen4/AM5 - 2x 16GB 6000 MT/s CL30; for unlocked "K" 13th/14th/LGA1700 - 2x 16GB 6400MT/s CL32

>COOLERS
AIO: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 420
Tower: Noctua NH-D15 G2 / Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO

AIOs are recommended. The failure rates are extremely low and they last >3 years on top of being cheaper than good towers.

>Not sure what private trackers are all about?
A private tracker is a torrent website that provides the same functionality as a public tracker but is invite-only. Each member share common goals: collecting, preserving and discussing media.

>It doesn't matter if you use the same username in different trackers, the staff still share your IP with each other.
>Staff is reading, being /marked/ is NOT a meme, and even if it is, it isn't.
