Got a new PC again for gaming and living room use. I wanted to buy it in October already, but the RTX 3080 were sold out straight away. Then I was waiting for AMDs answer to Intel, but with their GPUs and CPUs it was exactly the same. One week ago I saw that the shop I usually buy my stuff had then one of the RTX 3090 in stock, and instead of again waiting for probably months to get my hand on a RTX 3080, I eventually bought that one, a bit expensive, but loads of power. Got a 500€ voucher for that shop for my birthday last year, so that compensates a bit. Plus I'm gonna sell my HADES Canyon now.

So here's my newest PC setup:

CPU: Intel® Core™ i9-10900K

Mainboard: MSI MEG Z490 Unify

GPU: ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3090 Trinity

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX DIMM 32GB DDR4-3200 MHz C16 (2x16GB)

Cooling: Noctua NH-D15

PSU: Cooler Master MWE GOLD 850 - V2

1st SSD: Samsung 970 EVO 500GB NVMe M.2

2nd SSD: Patriot Viper VPN100 M.2 2TB

3rd HDD: Seagate Exos X16 16TB

Case: MSI MPG Gungnir 110M

Everything should arrive today, as it was delivered yesterday morning to my PackUp in Germany. Had to send it to my PackUp station, as the RTX3090 was not available for Luxembourg. And usually our Post picks it up from there next day in the morning, and brings it then to our post office in my hometown where I get an sms and can pick it up, usually early in the morning. But unfortunately I didn't receive any sms yet

Finally everything comes together, made some pictures but unfortunately you don't see a lot, the huge Noctua fan hides everything.

That heatsink is huge! Why not liquid cooling? Would have saved a lot of internal space.

Really like the look of the case.

You are really lucky to have got a 3090. The 3000 cards are completely out of stock in most places globally at the moment. You could make a massive profit reselling online. Some are selling for £4k on ebay!

Well, this is annoying. The MOS fan is running all the time at full speed, 12.000rpm. I couldn't manage to resolve this, not through software like Dragon Center or Afterburner, nor through the fan control settings in the BIOS. Setting is set to silent mode, and even putting it to manual doesn't change anything, continues turning at full speed.

So I called MSI in the end, they asked me about the BIOS, it has the latest version, so they guessed that it's a fan controller issue and that I have to send it back. That's just great, damn.

A friend has a similar fan issue with a 3080 GPU. The fan was just running constantly full speed. The fan was connected via internal USB so he unplugged it to reset the fan and the GPU really didn't like that and started causing Windows errors, so he's got to send the GPU back.

So could it be a GPU hardware fault with these 30X0 cards?
