So the bad, my 3080 has been making me sick with stuttering like I can't game for an hour without wanting to vomit, so I took it out and MSI are RMAing it.

Bad so put in a GT610 that I have and my board now has a CPU stop light and 00 readout and won't boot no matter what I try, the 610 is working in a 2600K stystem that I have as a backup so it's not the issue.

Good, MSI have offered me a 4070Ti Ventus 3X as a replacement which is about 20-30% faster at 1440p than my 3080, even though they can't find any issue with my card.

Good my mate tested my 5950X and it's working so I guess it's my board.

Bad sort of, so being down here at the backside of the earth (Australia) I can't buy a 12VHPWR cable without being completely shafted in price $100+ just for a single cable, no one has one in stock here and postage prices are off their chops, so guess I'm just going to have to use the ugly cable that comes in the box :(

get someone on these forums to buy one and send it to you. But all 4000 series come with 8pin to 12vhpwr connectors anyway.

Well mate that'd be good, but they'll probably face the same issue, the postage as it's effin murder to here, and you're right it will come with a cable, also I got a VERY Good, so MSI have offered me an X670 board to replace my Creation board and although I don't have the money for a 7000 series chip I'll get it and use the 2600K with the 4070ti till I can sell my 5950X and Ram, then I'll get a 7800Xd3 which should be a ncie little upgrade for me :)

Amazingly it was actually more of an Nvidia problem, but it seems it can screw you regardless. Either way I will be disabling it on every PC I have from now on. I don't need that absolute nightmare again tbh.

Thanks for your link as I couldn't find it, not 100% sure if it is MPO causing my issue, but rest assured now that I know about it, it's deffo something I'll get rid of if it rears its ugly head again once my system is sorted with my new build.

MSI are looking after me nicely they're deffo going to replace my dead X570 Creation with an X670, but HQ in Taiwan just haven't decided which board they're going to send me and won't till my board is returned to Aussie HQ in Sydney. I'm thinking of putting a 7800X3D in it when I get it.
 
Just heard from msi and they're replacing my board with an X670E Pro Carbon WiFi and I'm so effin stoked right now!

I haven't fully decided yet, it'll either be the 7800X3D or the 7950X3D just depends on what I get for my 5950X and ram.

Thanks. :)

From what I've read so far if you'll be doing mainly gaming the 7800X3D would be the wiser choice as Windows seems to be a little poo when it comes to switching games over to using purely the X3D cores.

Yeah that's true but as you know Star Citizen will soon be using all your cores (they've done testing to 128 or 256 with no issues) so the 7950X3D will probably come into its own then, or maybe I should take the slight performance hit and just go the 16 non X3D?

If the price difference isn't that great I'd personally go the full way with the 7950X3D.

Albeit depending on said cooling solution though, the 7950X3D is more difficult to cool though due to having dual CCD's rather than a single one on the 7800X3D.

I have an MSI coreliquid s360 which'll have no problem cooling any of the chips.

Is this a typo? Because that's a $150 difference and that definitely can change perspective here.

Yes buddy that was a typo I meant $150, I still think for the 3D Vcache it's worth it.
