Post A Picture of Your Last Purchase

Oooooo. I ordered my bracket but not got it yet.

Thankfully, Sowter dispatched the output transformers yesterday which arrived today. I ordered these back at the start of February. I was very worried that these would not be turning up this side of summer due to the human malware issue.


Test fitted to my wooden amp test build.

Just ordered a open "but new/unused" 2080 Ti from eBay. Hope it's as described.

Picture when it arrives

There were loads of scam GPUs on Amazon last week. They've all been removed thankfully.

Which model did you get?

Careful. Alot of 2080s flashed to look like a Ti are on ebay. Or worse still 2070.

It's reference model.

Will thoroughly inspect when it arrives.

Even with a flash GPU will still report correct stuff won't it? Cores etc.

Looks legit:-

We'll see.

Oh okay yeah that's not ridiculously cheap.

Thought it was worth a punt for £200 off.

Yeah thats the problem. They all look the same. but either way, hopefully you got a fantastic deal because they do exist after all.

I'm hoping it's legit, seller has been decent through messages and I'll be able to check based on GPUz and game performance. Worst case if it is a fake I paid on my CC so I'll charge back and ask him to arrange collection if seller wants it back.

Although mobo audio on the higher end isn't that bad nowadays , i just had to do it

 

[AlienALX]

haha I was looking at that one but I can't use both cards. So I'm looking at the other one.

We'll see

 

[AlienALX]

lol. Just did some poking around and the Nu was £220. I got that for £149. The good thing is it doesn't need two PCIE slots for both cards to function. And it has a desk breakout, which will be very useful.

i was originally looking at the ae9 but preferred the look of this one and it has a full back plate , lets hope it lives up to its hype

 

[AlienALX]

Mine will be vertical with one stacked behind so I don't need the back plate. I'll probably swap out the OPAMPS of they're harsh like the ones on my Titanium HD. However I had a Z and loved it, so it'll probably be good enough as is.

 

[Dark NighT]

Lemme know how that sounds, i been on the lookout for a new sound card since modern AMD motherboards don't play nice with the Asus STX II when it switches outputs or turns on the mic/line input.

 

[AlienALX]

Zxr isn't massively different to the Z and I used one of those and loved it. Zxr is just better quality caps and a ton of IO.

I'm glad you said that as I was intending on using a STX.

 

[Dark NighT]

If you have the first STX then you can try if it works, all i know is Asus did a deep investigation onto the STX II and found that none of the AMD chipsets can handle it.

 

[AlienALX]

I know exactly what the problem will be. It's the relays. Mine didn't work on a H81 board either. It clicked out at post.

Same issues with my D2X tbh.

I've had this sound card for awhile now and they're good
