My friend had this system but with an 10900kf cpu with 3090. The chassis is so bad that my friend had to buy a new mobo, cooler and chassis to combat the high temps and throttling.

I myself am using an 12700k tuned to 5.2ghz all core, 4.8ghz ringbus, no e-cores enabled and on an itx mobo to be able to run at 7600c36(stable) can run at 7800 but it is iffy. The gpu is an 6900xt because I dont need anything else, as I have sold my 6950xt( 2 versions both with 2×8 pins) 3 7900xtx, 3080, 3080ti, and 4090 because at 1080p low in the games I play I dont get that much more fps anyway as every cpu I had was limiting the 4090 and 7900xtx cards.

the cpus I have owned is 12700k and 12900k with ddr4(3200c14 b-die at 4000c16) 2x 13900kf, 7600 and 2x 7800x3d with 6000c30 ram on 3 mobos 2 asus and 1 gigabyte master b650e which I still own with an 7800x3d.

The tuned 12700k is just as fast in the games as the other cpus including the 7800x3d and in warzone it is faster than the 7800x3d when using an amd gpu. Something in warzone does throttle the perf of am5 systems with amd gpus.

The only game I can compare to in this comparasion is cs2 and my system get 366 to 500fps, and that despite cs2 not liking amd gpus. There is more to get as the ram is just 7200c34 vengance loosened xmp profile.

Proprietary motherboard and power supply are a no go for me.

Wish I had a list of all your beer ratings.

My first build in 10 years, and I got me a 12700KF. At the time I was searching, I saw the 13th ans 14th gen was getting blows for burning out.

Cheers!

why wouldn’t they be.. ? they’re not 10 years old lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I bought an R13 with a 12900F, 3080, 32GB RAM, and 1TB NVME when they were phasing them out and discounting them deeply. I needed a computer and this was actually cheaper to buy than building my own. While I’m not thrilled with choices they’ve made, it acomplishes everything that i need it to do and it does it well. I don’t have complaints about it that piss me off everyday.

I built a 3080ti 5900x system during the pandemic when I had money to spare from not going on holiday. By far it’s the highest end system I’ve built and even with the new 50 series coming out I don’t see a need to upgrade.

I might build a secondary system with AMD’s new offering though for a linux only gaming rig and move the other one over to being a simracing setup.

I feel like the going easy on the juice should have been an intentional choice (maybe it was?); it is called ‘Juice DUST’ after all, not ‘Juice Nuke’ 😛

Geoff do you get to keep that PC after you have reviewed it?

Yes I do in fact place zero value on my own time. I am worthless.
JK but some of us actually enjoy building PCs

Yeah this is something i would never ever buy or support. High temps, rubbish choked case and proprietary parts. Just no. Cant OC without upgrading cooling which is probably impossible with this case. This has strong advertisement feel.

Hey! this isnt the Dawid Channel.

one of my friends got something like this during the infamous GPU shortage because it was basically the same price as getting a GPU on its own. beyond that, good enough for what it is I suppose

3080 Ti and 3070TI were one of the best cards at Nvidia. After that it went downhill fast.

My 10900k and 3060ti are still very fine Ty.

Cries with my 8700K….it’s showing it’s age.

r15 ryzen 7 9800x3d rtx 5090

you take that back the veloster is SO cool

$1495 is fair. I have a i9 from the 10th gen and just need a gpu upgrad really. 10th and 11th gen high i7+ all rips! Pair them with good cooling and 4400+ ram at least 32 gigs and your flying in anything.

Of course they’re still awesome, the 3080 ti is just the previous gen high end GPU, and 13-15th gen barely have any performance improvement

I’ve toyed with, worked on, built, repaired many many pcs over the last decades, won the current rig in a raffle. It’s not really as interesting as it used to be honestly, they took all real technician levels stuff out of building pcs after about 2000. it’s been simple as legos for a long long time now.

My wife has an AMD based Alienware Aurora – one of the last in fact before the model change. Great video!!

That Hyundai Veloster joke is the best description of this Dell I’ve ever heard. Well done.

This is the type of config I am currently running. Still does great!

Part 2 , I hope you get sponsored to upgrade this to 9800X3D and water cooling slim RTX4090

Hyundai swiped BMW’s M mojo for the Veloster N, so I’d say it has more street-cred than a pre-built that may have escaped Dawid’s Alma exorcism.

Good video but I wouldn’t spend $1400+ on old tech. With-in 60 days, the 3080ti will be 2 generations old. The cpu is already 3 generations old.

An Alienware desktop is the Veloster of desktops. 😂

15:06 I doubt this will work well. DDR5 does not like to have more than 1 stick per channel and I think the memory controller on the CPU is borked. The base memory clock for a 12700KF is 4800 MT/s, but the product page for the system notes, it is running at 4400 MT/s.

12700k + 4090 here. Still good to me. I’ll upgrade my CPU in january maybe.

RIP Elysian.

A fellow RCR enjoyer I see

The biggest downside to that alienware is the motherboard, PSU, limiting bios and heavy bloatware.
if it was around 1100 – 1250 then I’d have went for it, the reason for my price would be the ewaste motherboard, bad bios and proprietary parts.
BUT if you’re looking for a rig that’s plug n play and will do the job and you don’t care about the performance loss…. it’s fine, an alright combo

I respect all the time and effort you’ve put into your channel, and you 100% deserve the awesome opportunities that have come your way lately. As a fellow tech nerd, I’d be jumping for joy to see my inbox full of companies wanting to send me their latest and greatest. I started watching your channel 5-6 years ago because you were doing all the weird Chinese dual socket used Xeon stuff. I built my first budget GPU/Linux server after watching your videos on the Grid and Tesla cards. I have nothing but respect for what you’ve been able to build for yourself, and I would love to see more of that style of content. I personally can’t ever see myself forking out 10k+ for a new Intel server, but it’s cool to see nonetheless.

Those Baldurs Gate 3 seem too high to me… Does it have frame generation now or something?

GO FOR A 7900 GRE BETTER CHOICE IF YOU JUST CARE ABOUT FRAMES

That intro was so right on

At the end I thought that Factor would have entered the dinner scene 😅

Whild how many people are complaining about your comments on a 4 year old GPU. The comment isn’t for people still using old hardware, it’s directed at the people who upgrade every generation. Those poor Intel users.

Love the videos!!

And it can run the Kessel run in how far?

I’m still happy with my 5600x and 3070

Hi its should be nice to campare performance vs a prxomox gpu passthrow one😊 ill wait for🎉

Real ones will about the 38080

funny veloster joke,

until you run into a 2.0L turbo veloster N that will totally smoke your altima.

Have to take at least 250 off for Alienware 🙂

One thing in the R13’s favor: not 13th or 14th generation, since 700-level processors also had issues – you’re not buying a possibly compromised processor.

> 3080 still awesome in 2024

Buddy you make it sound like this thing came out ten years ago…

I have a 1080TI with an AMD 8350-FX. There isnt a game in 2024 I cant play. Its not perfect with ray tracing but I can play any of them with good FPS. This video using a 4 year old video card saying its still awesome is silly. Of course it is. Hardware has FAAAAAR pasted the world of software outside of specialized applications.

A veloster easily has as much street cred as a 350z convertible

Yikes, wouldn’t touch a PC that you can’t change the motherboard on

I have an oem Dell 3800 in my PC.
Runs 4k@60fps just fine for me!
However, nvidia’s newest driver almost killed it! My PC wouldn’t post, with a code 97 on the motherboard. Only way I saved it was by installing a 980ti Classified in it. The 3080 booted just fine in an Windows 7 PC. Go figure…
But the 3080 back in the next day, and it booted just fine…😊

Just as a suggestion, mentioning delta Temps for CPU/GPU would have been helpful or just state your ambient room temp if possible.

16GB of ram in a pretty high end for the time? That hurts

Who wants play a game in 4k ? who cares ???

I love the 38080!

I see the time warp is fixed now 😂🎉

Looks like a giant USB-C case

38080?

Ninth

Ah yes! The Ryzen 38080
