Good day from beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia. I'm ready to pull the trigger on an upgraded GPU. My question is, would it be best to wait a few months for the next best thing (which I don't even know what that is...) or, may as well get a 4090 now? I appreciate your advice as always.

Thank you Ray. I failed to mention I was upgrading my 850w to a 1000w. My specs are a little out of date. Good catch.

Hey all. I thinking about pulling the trigger on a new GPU for P3D and soon to install MSFS. I’m thinking of the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition Gaming 24GB Any concerns you can think of? Any positive experiences with this card? Thanks in advance

Thanks Jason. I have done the measurements and I’ll be fine with my Corsair 750D High Airflow too.

Thank you Bob for your insight. I'll need to check on my case size to confirm it will fit.

Hello all. I'm not very clever when it comes to differentiating why one particular 4090 GPU is better for a SIM than another one? I also see a fair difference in price. I am running P3Dv5 currently and will be getting MSFS once the good heavy's become available in that SIM. With that being said, might you please steer me in the direction regarding modal and specific 4090 I should be looking at? And why? Thank you in advance.

Good evening. I haven't been able to complete a flight in the last 4 attempts. I captured the AppCrash but don't know how to read it to give me the reason both why and how to repair. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Good day Chaps. Reaching out to you all who are a lot more clever than I to ask if upgrading to a EVGA 3080 TI FTW will be a noticeable upgrade from my current 2070? Thanks for your input in advance.

Would you go 2 X 16 or 4 X 8?

Wow!! How frustrating.

I wanted to however, where I live, it was actually less expensive to get the XIII than the XII. Even on line. I probably could have eventually bought the XII but I would have had to jump through too many hoops to do so.

Hey Martin. What would you suggest RAM wise Speed and brand?

Ended up going with the Asus Rog Maximus Hero XIII. Happy I’m staying with something I know and trust.

Yeah. Me too. I just need to jump through a few hoops to get it here to Nova Scotia. Silly company won’t ship out of Province so I’m going to get a mate in Ontario pick it up for me and ship it he can ship it. I’m in no rush to compromise on components. Thanks Martin.

Happy Monday Martin. This question has nothing to do with cooling. Thank you for all your guidance on the forum helping me with my new parts. I’m having a challenge getting a hold of a ASUS z490 Hero here in Canada. I can get the AORUS equivalent z490 Master but, don’t have any knowledge on it. Do you know of this board and did it would be a solid option for my build? Thanks in advance and enjoy your day. David.

Sorry, that figure was included a GPU water block and loop as well. All EK stuff.

You’re right Martin. I actually have nothing to lose and +$1000.00 to save on a custom liquid loop. I agree with you at keeping the CPU stock also. Thanks for the adjustment.

Thus my dilemma. My preference would be to stay with the Noctua D15S however, I’m thinking (and please correct me if I’m wrong) that just running the 10900k at stock would be at the upper limits temp wise. Where as, a very good friend of mine has been “plumbing” custom water cooling rigs for years assures be of loads of wiggle room temp wise should I OC this CPU. What to do?... what to do..? David.

Thank you for your valued input Elliot. Food for thought.

Is there a difference between 2X16gb compaire3d to 4X8gb? Other than price?

Understood. I appreciate your input. What would you recommend RAM wise?

I just have a single fan on it currently. Would you add another one?

I do have my NH- D15S with this current rig but was planning on doing what you are by getting the Chromax Black for this build.

Martin my Man!! You were a huge help for my current build and got me drinking the Noctua Kool-Aid. Thanks for your reply here. Yes, I am planning to overclock and my preference is to stay on the Noctua train if I can without compromising the CPU Temp. Thanks for your help.

I'm building or... I should say upgrading some parts in a RIG that I had a lot of help from this forum about 5 years back. I would like to upgrade the CPU to an i9-10900k and would like your thoughts on if a Noctua NA-D15s would suffice to keep it cool? I am a Noctua fan (no pun intended) and would prefer to stay air-cooled over liquid. Also contemplating upgrading the MOBO to ASUS ROG Max XII Z490. I appreciate your knowledge and vast experience. David Bell.
