  1. "Inch hide arsh sassy" 6:15
    As an American, if I speak in American, it's extremely easy for me. I would say "inside the chassis", but you guys just gotta keep us on our toes.
    Also, as an American, I obviously only speak American. I do dabble in a little bit of English , Australian, and Canadian, though not fluent.

    Got the answer I was actually looking for, from your video. Thank you for both the content and presentation.

  2. I have this PNY card in my cart but I watched a video where a guy actually takes apart all the cards and looks at all the actual specs and electronics and the PNY was rated one of the worst, even below the FE.

  3. Happy to report that the PNY XLR8 4090 fits into the SSUPD Meshlicious in 4 slot configuration with no problem, even though it's a close fit. Probably the best cooled 4090 for that case.

  4. I actually picked up a asus dual 4070 for my micro gaming pc. It fits perfectly and got it for $499 U.S. dollars. But I'm also going from a 2080 super to the 4070, which is definitely an upgrade. But from the 3080 to a 4070, I wouldn't have purchased the 4070 dual.

  5. Before you overclock make sure that you put fill voltage on 100% and full power on what ever the slider go… than begin with the mem oc use loops of 3d mark port royal it is excelent for stabilty issues , 10 times is more than enough… if everything goes well you can go with the core oc put 100 on the begining than incease 15 each time you complete the 10 raw of port royal…

  6. I have this card, and even though it's considered as the most "basic" of the AIB partner model list. I don't regret getting it because versus the more expensive AIB models your only getting a neglible 1-3% difference gain even if overclocked. On the other hand the difference in power consumption when overclocking it is not worth the electricity bill just to get an extra few frames. The cooling on the PNY is better on the FE model with the same performance. My opinion is if you want to save money and get a 4090 as close to msrp if you can't find a FE and not planning to overclock, then I would recommend this one. I also seen based off from reviews that this model doesn't experience as much coil whine as the other AIB models too. For my experience I can vouch for this card as people seem to forget PNY has been around for a while and is very underrated compared to the other more popular brands. Everything else is just bragging rights, all I care about is how it performs, its thermals, and minimal coil whine issues. At the end of the day it's your gaming experience that matters, its still a freakin rtx 4090.

  7. So my build was a prebuilt from a custom computer shop. They put the basic PNY in my computer.. massive 4090 still, but no RGB aside from the PNY logo. Little disappointed there. I don’t see any major point in overclocking, but I can say, I can run any game on ultra everything and it runs beautifully. I ran hogwarts legacy like that, and I’m gonna try cyberpunk as well. I was a bit bummed to see my performance was down on the leaderboards for 3DMark, but I’m not trying to drag race it. Honestly, I think the FE looks the best
