Coil whine

MSI Suprim GeForce RTX 4090 24GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G
MSI Suprim GeForce RTX 4090 24GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G

Pros: Great performance out of the box Cool GPU temp at around 60C using the gaming BIOS profile (on by default out of the box) Axial fan very silent, radiator fans around 35-40Db during gaming RGB minimal but looks good Brush metal gives the card premium feel and look Only around 2% performance loss if caping power to 70%, and about 100W of power saving and 5C cooler GPU temps vs default setting

Cons: -Coil Whine if using >80% of power, very noticeable. However, reduced and inaudible if power limit set to <80% in afterburner -Higher then other brands Vram temps but within spec

Overall Review: - Good option if looking for AIO cooled GPU

Died after 1 yr and 8 months

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D - Ryzen 9 7000 Series Zen 4 16-Core 4.2 GHz - Socket AM5 120W - AMD Radeon Graphics Desktop Processor - 100-100000908WOF
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D - Ryzen 9 7000 Series Zen 4 16-Core 4.2 GHz - Socket AM5 120W - AMD Radeon Graphics Desktop Processor - 100-100000908WOF

Pros: Fast, V-cash

Cons: Unreliable

Overall Review: For the original asking price on launch, I think its unacceptable that the processor died with regular use - over the past year it was mostly gaming. Few months back noticed random oddities - random usb ports would stop responding, POST taking longer after cold boot. Eventually, one day while trying to browse, the PC rebooted, then just shut down. Would not POST. Initially thought it was motherboard that died, but after several hours of going through each component (GPU, PSU, RAM, AIO, CMOS) found it was the CPU, as swapping to another POST and loaded windows just fine. Going on line I saw that others had similar issues with this particular CPU dying randomly. Contacted AMD support for RMA, will see what happens. But now Im without a working PC

works for me

EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2672-KR GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2672-KR GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: One card that performs a bit better than my two HD 6950 in CF. Stay's below 60C when playing, and my case is not very well ventilated (GPU fan never > than 50% while using fan curve through EVGA Precision) Easy installation, no hassle

Cons: Cheap plastic. Evga could have used more of a quality plastic material for building this card. Otherwise feels like a boot leg copy GPU to be honest. Low pitch sound from GPU fan when speed above 44%

Overall Review: Bought it on release date through newegg. Have been playing and using my desktop for two days with new card - didnt get any problems so far. Played/-ing Company of heroes, Dota 2, Blacklight Retribution and recently Diablo 3 - works with no artifacts or BSOD. So I guess there is a faulty bunch of GTX 670 out there, so you might or might not get one
