    Warhammer: Dawn of War III

    Bummer...just put in a request for a refund. I was really looking forward to this game but I just wasn't feeling it after two hours. I feel DoW2 looks and plays better than DoW3 despite being more than 8 years old. I guess I'll finally try to learn how to play Total War: Warhammer to get my...

    New case - Fractal Design R5 VS Define C

    I recently transferred from an R4 to the C and the components in my signature all fit nicely. I didn't need all the 5.25" bays or extra HDD space since I'm only running two SSDs. The C can fit the massive Noctua NH-D15 cooler but I did have to give up the second fan for it to fit. The C also...

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    I'm with you. I hope they come out with a "low skill-ceiling" ship that can be flown solo (I'm hoping the new Cutlass is it). As much fun as it is to think about going full-immersion mode with VR and HOTAS, I'd probably rather just kick back with an Xbox controller while flying around the...

    DAC + Small Desktop Speaker Combo Questions

    I'm considering the same options as you, OP. For some reason, my Sound Blaster Z started conflicting with my Samsung 950 Pro M2 drive. The only way to get my system to recognize the Samsung drive was to remove the SBZ from my system altogether and now I'm stuck using on-board Realtek audio...

    What 1080 Ti AIB card are you getting and why?

    My current cooling solution in the Define C is: Front: 2x 140mm Noctua NF-A14 PWM Back: 1x 120mm Noctua NF-P12 CPU: Noctua NH-D15 with one fan (the second one doesn't fit in the Define C) AFAIK, the Define C doesn't have a bottom fan mount. I didn't install any fans on the top since I wanted...

    What 1080 Ti AIB card are you getting and why?

    Thanks for your feedback. Looks like it might be a problem with my case airflow unless I got unlucky and they didn't seat the cooler properly on my card. I'm scared to open it up and look though.

    What 1080 Ti AIB card are you getting and why?

    Hrrrm, you are right my temps are higher than what a lot of review sites are reporting. They seem to be getting 71C-73C under full load and I was hitting 82C-84C when running Time Spy / Fire Strike. Not sure if it's relevant but I also swapped out my case yesterday from the Fractal R4 to...

    What 1080 Ti AIB card are you getting and why?

    My AORUS 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition arrived today and I have to say I'm very impressed. I've always bought EVGA cards in the past but the AORUS is one sexy beast - the cooler is a piece of art. I've already cancelled my EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3 since that doesn't ship until May and I think I'll be very...

    Player unknown Battlegrounds

    The game runs on the Unreal 4 Engine which does not currently support SLI and there was a post from a dev stating that they had no intention of offering SLI support in the future either. They did mention that it might be possible to find a way to enable SLI support on the Unreal 4 engine but...

    Pre-orders are up on the EVGA website for all three AIB models but they won't be shipping for another 3-4 weeks. I just put my order in for a FTW3 :D

    What's been the most relaxing game you've played of late?

    To The Moon is a beautiful game but not everyone wants to go on a feels-trip when trying to relax :D The new Hitman has been my go-to relaxation game. No time limit and multiple paths to victory allow me to just mess around in the world at my own pace and come up with new and creative ways to...
