If you're running v1-1.2, you probably want to update to at least F21 to close the LogoFail security hole: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B650-GAMING-X-AX-rev-10-11-12/support#support-dl
Thanks, mine is v1.5 and updated to Feb 2024 BIOS.If you're running v1-1.2, you probably want to update to at least F21 to close the LogoFail security hole: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B650-GAMING-X-AX-rev-10-11-12/support#support-dl
I believe I read a Corsair rep posting that 4000d supports all current RMx Shift line up.The shift would probably be a really poor choice for the 4000d.
You know 4090 and 5080 are the same? 4+0+9+0=5+0+8+0. Both equal 13. The 5080 will give grief to some or all of its users. You heard it here first!Then this build will truly 'wake up' when I buy RTX 5080.
I think it's a poor choice because the case isn't that wide. Cables coming out of the side of the PSU instead of the back will mean a tight, 90 degree bend between the PSU and the side panel. The shift seems more designed for dual-chambered cases that might rotate the power supply for mounting (such that the long axis is parallel to the motherboard instead of perpendicular).I believe I read a Corsair rep posting that 4000d supports all current RMx Shift line up.
Hmm I may look revisit this for the shift orientation. But currently, Shift is the only model that's ATX 3.0 certified. We use PSUs for nearly a decade. I understand the power spikes are fine for high-end PSUs, but I'd rather have a piece of mind with a official cert. And based on PSU tier list, Corsair has the best price and the quieter fan.I think it's a poor choice because the case isn't that wide.

1200W is also probably overkill.
Agreed. But it's a $3 diff.Partpicker over estimates typical power consumption just to be safe, which is good, especially if you plan to really stress your rig.
Their estimate was over 400 Watts for our 4070 rig but during regular gaming it only pulls about 270W. Raytracing games add another 50 watts.
Our 3080 rig has similar performance but draws significantly more power. I expect your 5080 will draw a lot less than a 4090.
It's complicated: https://www.igorslab.de/en/should-y...tx-v3-0-enough-here-is-the-surprising-answer/ATX 3.1 is imminent. It's supposed to fix the 12VHPWR connector, which I'm guessing just means a new modular cable?
It's not so much the cable mgmt, it's the ease of access. Let's find out, but the youtube vids show they're great.Does the SHIFT really help with cable management? There are plenty of ATX 3.0 PSUs by other brands; Corsair also has the RMe, considered a small step down from RMx but still Tier A.
This is a non issue for me because... drum roll please:I prefer not using the "zero" fan setting, instead going with the lowest RPM "exhaust" adjustment available.
Reason for this is I prefer the heat being exhausted from my PSU not being blown directly into my 3080's fan. (if you have decent exhaust fans the PSU is venting some heat inside the case when powered on)
Also at "zero" fan settings dust inside the unit itself can become an issue being drawn IN and a PSU's interior isn't the place you want to play around trying to clean beyond a blast of compressed air.
4080/4080S is a lot of GPU. Enjoy!I was going to wait for RTX 5080 since my current games play more than fine with the beastly CPU & RAM on the old RTX 2070. And I wanted 5000 series for GTA6. But it'll be until January 2025++ at $1200-1400 i`f I get super lucky and doesn't get sold out at every restock.
But scouring FB marketplace got me a great deal! I got a brand new PNY RTX 4080 Super for $765 shipped from some rich dad in Rhode Island.
I'm more than happy. The GPU arrives tomorrow.
