November 26, 20214 yr A very good day! I would appreciate any comments regarding the performance of this system. Where I work we get a pretty big discount on this PC and it doesn't justify me buying parts from different vendors and building from scratch. Yes, I agree that I can save some money (in my situation about $400) doing it myself, unfortunately, with my last build I ran into issues with the warranty or parts availability, and I don't have the patience anymore. Specs: 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i9 12900KF (16-Core, 30MB Cache, 3.2GHz to 5.2GHz w/Turbo Boost Max 3.0) Windows 11 Home NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3090 24GB GDDR6X 64GB Dual Channel DDR5 at 4400MHz 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe SSD Lunar Light 750W PSU, Alienware Cryo-tech™ Edition CPU Liquid Cooling Foxconn Motherboard. Honestly, my issue is their MOBO, even we can get credit towards a new PC within 2 years. Thank you! 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
November 27, 20214 yr Jeeese that's a monster hehe. I actually used a Foxconn mobo about a decade ago... or maybe 15 years ago... on an AMD build I believe. Do you know the specific mobo? Seems odd to have those nice parts on a budget board. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
November 27, 20214 yr The PSU is close to the minimum. I would be looking at replacing that with a 1000w. Don’t get me wrong it will work, but any CPU OC or power spikes from the 3090 and I’d expect trouble.

December 21, 20214 yr Quote Lunar Light 750W PSU Ive never heard of a "Lunar Light" PSU. I would want to know who the manufacturer is of this PSU and if its decent quality. And no, I would say 750 is too low for an RTX 3090. In theory, for a less powerful 3090 variant, it suffices, but there's no way I would risk it. Spikes are a thing with the 3090. Only 750 watt and unknown PSU manufacturer would be no go for me. Edited December 21, 20214 yr by martin-w
December 22, 20214 yr A 750 watt PSU is not enough for an Nvidia 3090 video card. I'd say 850 watts should be the minimum, go for a 1000 watt PSU if you can and make it a high quality unit. Cheap PSU's usually end with a spectacular failure, sometimes taking other components out with them. Foxconn motherboards are not terrible, but they tend to be very basic and do not allow for overclocking.
