I know some people were complaining that my videos are too long, but wanted to share my whole experience on installing this GPU, glad the video helped you!!!
What Dragonzombie said. You did it just the way I find myself doing it with questions and issues coming up and with you dealing with it in DETAIL. So many others just fly thru the presentations.
I received my 4080 super yesterday, I might get r7 7800x3d or 9800x3d, but for the gpu sag I didn't receive a bracket or anything and I don't want to snap anything so should I order one off of amazon (like those screw adjustment ones) also which motherboard should i get (x870e or b650)
Hey, sorry for the late reply, if you have the space for it (free PCI-E slots on MB) then go with something like this : a.co/d/ewDuAP1 You can even get ones that are adjustable (the ones that look like screws) as cheap as $5-10 from amazon. For the one that I have it has the hassle of removing the MB and installing some hardware on MB screws. As for the MB it depends on your application. What type of work do you do and what is the application, gaming editing or something else?
For a long period of time I was an Asus fan, but switched most of my hardware to Gigabyte, pricewise they are more affordable and the quality so far hasn't disappointed me!
Dave, the anti sag bracket definitely helps, as you know the 4090 is a vey heavy card and the anti sag bracket helps with the sagging and takes the heavy stress from you pci-e slot.
I love how you were saying your cpu is just a 10th gen. Im installing this card with a i7 9700k with zero shame and intent oh and a platinum 860watt psu lul. Now, to buy the lg oled 4k hdr 120hz. Gsync freesync and vrr. Grab one you'll love it!
Hey, I know, no shame in any cpu with this GPU, I am not sure but a 9700k might be a bottleneck for this GPU (maybe at 1080p) or I might be wrong. Lg c2 oled is very tempting but for now I don't want to spend another 2k for a new monitor as I already have the PG27UQ. Thanks for the comment, happy gaming!
@@parhamsan I've got an i9-9900k which isn't a world away from a 9700k and I got massive uplifts with a 4090 vs my 3090. and CPU utilisation actually went down with the 4090 even in games like Cyberpunk 2077 2.0. I was getting 85% CPU utilisation and now get around 50-60% with everything maxed. I'm sure there is situations at super high framerates where the CPU might bottle neck, but if you have a 120hz - 160hz g-sync/vrr monitor you are going to frame cap yourself at the max monitor refresh anyway. That said, I just got this card and its so quiet vs. my Zotac 3090 Trinity, even at 99% utilisation and just eats through anything you throw at it
@@RiGoRmOrTiSUK that's awesome. I have a different way of looking at hardware then a lot of other people I suppose. Price peformance would be awful if I purchased a new cpu mobo ram combo and would most certainly be a mistake especially at this time regardless. I'll take a look at the 14900 but still probably won't upgrade and then when 15900 comes out I'll do the big combo upgrade and obviously a 1200 or 1300 watt psu but until then it makes waaay more sense to use what I have for now for 4k hdr gaming right. People forget combo's use to cost less and now they cost more so I factor that in as well. I owned a 4080 before this and it felt like I was hitting the ceiling from day one and it wasn't the card I was hoping it would be ya know. Which is because all of the GPU's are 2 or 3 hundred more than they should be.
@@RiGoRmOrTiSUK wish me luck, I started tinkering with overclocks so we'll see 👍 good thing I bought a Platinum power supply and a computer case that I could adjust to fit that card a couple years back that's all I have to say lul
Its not a good idea to have kept plugging and unplugging the connector. One of the two problems they say (GN) people had were improperly plugging them in, but also people were panicking and overly checking them and they formed micro debris from the friction of pluging and unplugging to check too many times. This helped mess up the current imbalance. These things kind of have a limit to how many times they can perfectly plug in and out and theres layers to the materials that can erode from repeated use.
You are 100% right, but at the time of installation I had to make sure the 12VHPWR was properly plugged in. BTW I have changed my PS to a new one that comes with as single 12VHPWR cable; a game changes!
@@parhamsantnx man. Here in iran only the mag variant is available and I'm not trusting that. Mpg is their flagship psu. Gotta go to the expensive rm-x lineup:/
@@f.iph7291 I see, you can go with any 850W to 1000W Corsair PSU and just buy their cable that converts 2 PCIE power to 12VHPWR cable. Make sure to buy a power supply that is compatible with taht cable: www.corsair.com/ca/en/p/pc-components-accessories/cp-8920284/600w-pcie-5-0-12vhpwr-type-4-psu-power-cable-cp-8920284 Otherwise you are going to end up with the same octopus mess!!!
Hey, thanks the comment, I also have the GIGABYTE RTX 4070 WINDFORCE OC on my HTPC computer that doesn't need the bracket, but from what I see the installation of the bracket for the 4070 Ti Super should be very similar (if required)!
@@parhamsan Hey, yes it seems every card higher than 4070 Ti has the bracket. I ordered it and can't wait! Will check out your video again when installing it lol
@@imperatorromanorum3150 I see, that makes sense cuz the 4070 non Ti is so tiny that it doesn't need the Bracket. I'm always here to help if you need it!
Lg oled is what I would recommend. But I'm a xbox elite 2 controller 4k hdr kind of player but the lg oled is proven tried and true good firmware updates and support which in the tv world is critical other brands like Sony and Samsung have been known to have bad firmware updates that ruin everything. Don't worry about burn in it has built in defence against it.
I agree with you but the price is also a couple of hundred dollars more, I don't think it would matter for many people on which one to pick, as the price of the 4090s are still pretty expensive!
True, turned them off the minute I installed the GPU, not a big fan of RGB on the fans specially. Had EVGA 30 series and the RGB on those GPUs where a lot more attractive; kind of here for the performance and not the esthetic. Congrats on the GPU anyways!!!
@@parhamsan Thanks! I watched a lot of reviews and it just surprised me no one bothered mentioning how bad the RGB. I dont really care either. I wish they atleast let you turn the fan RGB off while keeping the Front logo on but nothing is perfect.
Thank you! All the other videos were so fast I couldn't tell where the mounting bracket goes, your video was the only one that helped, thanks 🙏

Hey, thanks for the comment. That was the whole point to be as detailed as possible!
beautiful GPU man congratz
🤟
Thank you! amazing guide and very easy to understand. Thanks for your time to make this video, much appreciated!
Hey, thanks for the positive comment, glad that the video helped you!
I love you for the bracket part ❤❤❤
Thanks for the positive comment!
I feel your pain dude. I am about to go through the exact same thing with my 4080. Thanks for your vid, it will be of great help. 🙏

Love gigabyte GPU they are impressive and very powerful cards ❤

does the anti sag helps with the sag? did u recheck it after a month or so?

Just got same gpu card 4090 gigabyte + i9 13900k bulid a week ago i still play on 1080p tho need to upgrade that😊 too dam pcs costy!

What 4k monitor are you using?
Hey, the monitor is an ASUS PQ27UQ 4k 144Hz HDR
rog.asus.com/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-swift-pg27uq-model/
I broke my pc truing to put the sag on 😅
remove the plastic before installation dude 😅
to slow cpu to utilize full potential of 4090
True, have switched to 13700k, still not the most powerful cpu but definitely unleashes more potential of the 4090.
aorus master is larger and more gooder looking
I agree with you but the price is also a couple of hundred dollars more, I don't think it would matter for many people on which one to pick, as the price of the 4090s are still pretty expensive!
Just got he card - the RGB fans are the uggliest ever turned them off
