I had the original H80i for about 5 years and the only thing that failed on that was the LED light. And that might have been software related. Glad it didn't fry a 5 day old CPU. After looking at newegg reviews this seems to be a common problem with the V2 pump design (h100v2 and H80v2)...
What's good is that the motherboard bios issues should be ironed out by then. Any solid dates? The 1600x will be my processor. That sad part is that my current system doesn't need upgrading.
Saw a "RYZEN CPU COMBO" deal on AMAZON. The CPU cooler was a H110i Extreme. I have an H80i V2. Any one know of any adapters? Do I already have one? I'm just surprised that no one is talking about CPU cooler compatibility.
I have a glass window case with a Asus Maximus Hero motherboard which is black. I can't imagine putting a blue M.2 SSD on that dark motherboard. It would stick out like a sore thumb. Too bad other manufacturers don't utilize a dark PCB. Not sure why not? Or am I the only person that...
I'm still rocking RGB strips that came with a wireless remote. I can actually change colors and turn it off while I'm gaming. I never understood the current RGB bandwagon. RGB on motherboards without any way to control them outside of software is the same as using a television without a...
Had my 4k monitor for a year, and now I'm looking at replacing that monitor with a 1440p 144hz model. I picked 4k 60hz, over 1440p 144hz and it was a big mistake. For some reason I feel now as though I can get more out of the gaming experience with the added refresh rate vs the added...
I keep reading that it will be the "First half of 2017" which means the end of June beginning of July. Sucks. They've gone away from "1st quarter of 2017" :( I'll bet that we wont see the Vega until September. High-End GPU's sucks industry wise right now. Either you over pay for Nvidia...
I have a freesync monitor, and I don't like how Nvidia operates as a company. So I find it hard to purchase their products anymore. Current card is a Water Cooled R9 Fury (non x). I'm looking to game in 4k and AMD doesn't offer a single die GPU that can produce that. I will be ready in...
I used to have the app. But now it appears to be gone. When I click on the desktop all I get are Radeon settings. I can't do virtual resolution or anything. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks
This is the screen (app) that I cannot find for the life of me. I have Crimson 15.12
But then the plain-jane generic design, poor reference cooler (no vendor coolers for a while), and high operating temps swayed me away from it. Not to mention noise. The final killer was that I got an MSI 780 lightning for less than a 290x would have cost. And now since Nvidia has lowered the...
The only thing that I do not like about the Dell u3011 is that it isn't able to pivot to a 90degree angle. The dell's monitor mount is 100 x 100 vesa. I spent hours looking for a stand on the web that I could use. No luck. Most of the stands (99%) were for multi monitor setups, and the ones...
I already own a 570 but I'm afraid that it may not be able to power my new Dell U3011 sufficiently when I get it. So would I get more performance by adding another 570? Or a single 680? Sorry if this has been asked before. Thanks.
Nevermind. Another 570 is all I can afford right now :mad:
I did a search but I couldnt find anything conclusive :-(
I upgraded my 8800gts with an EVGA GTX260 sp216 in November. Everything is fine with the exception of the HDMI output (or DVI output with HDMI adapter to be more specific).
The GTX-260 is installed on my HTPC/Gaming PC that...
Not that anyone cares but I'm choosing the GTX280 over the ATI 4870 (even with the price difference). The reason is because the 4870 runs so bloody hot. I'm not sure if the GTX280 run as hot as the ATI but I haven't read about any complaints about the GTX280's heat. And the GTX280 is also...
I went from a 8565 3dmark06 score, to a 9396 3dmark 06 score and all I did was swap out a BFG8800gts for a EVGA8800gts KO AC3. I know that the EVGA is "over clocked" from the factory, but is that much of a difference normal?
3DMark 06 Score
I just received an EVGA 8800 GTS (ACS3) from Newegg today. I was all excited about hooking it up but to my surprise the card doesnt work on either of my LCD screens (benq24, Viewsonic vp912b) via the DVI output. I hate Computers. To make a long-story-short, the Video card worked when I...
