abufrejoval Good thing DRAM is either soldered or DIMMs are firmly clipped in: no amount of hoovering ever removed any RAM I bought :LOL: But gently cleaning your system to protect it from dying may be far more important now, since it's so difficult to replace. Perhaps you should combine it with patch days, backup-1, clean/hoover, patch, backup-2 (without deleting backup-2, obviously). Reply
bigdragon I would upgrade from a 5900X to a 9900X3D if the DRAM crisis wasn't a thing. I've been seeing deals show up for the CPU, but the RAM I'd need costs more than the CPU and motherboard combined. I'm going to sit on the sidelines until the industry gets its house in order and the scalpers get burned. Reply
vanadiel007 Scalpers never get really burned. We have seen this in the past. The industry does not really want to address the scalper issue, because to them money is money. Reply
80251 I remember the cryptocurrency driven GPU crisis around the time of ampere featured the same kind of shenanigans and is the whole reason I had to wait until Ada to upgrade my 1080ti. It would be nice to hear some good news once in a while… Reply

It would be nice to hear some good news once in a while… I had a 1060 6gb and had to wait till the near end of the 3000 series to get my 3060 12 gb for 330 pounds. Turns out it was a 3000 series dumping sale on amazon since about 3 weeks after i bought my card the 4000 series came out and a light bulb went off. I stayed with the 3060 till last summer when i got a 9060 xt 16gb for 379 pounds. Standard 9060's were at teh time 330 but i got a sapphire nitro due to reviews. And it was worth it. Same card now is nearly 400. Was 480 only a few months ago so things are coming "down". Reply
