Z270 and Z370 bundles gone, plenty of X299 bundles left lol big surprise

I snagged one and im running it stock in the enclosure. Its reporting 49C basically idle, though it is getting hot air blown on it (not directly but nearby) from my 1080 Ti Founders mining Ethereum 24/7. Temp seems a bit high but im not gonna worry about it, datasheet says operating temp up to...

I only tried 1 with Micron and it was a turd, max stable was +200 mem (8400mhz actual while mining IIRC). Could set it to 250 but it would crash when a new dag loaded (happens every 30000 blocks). MSI Aero ITX card FYI. Silicon lottery of course but Samsung is the clear winner.

Props to Techspot for the article but they are not accounting for overclocking, custom vbios or the performance difference of gddr5 memory (micron vs hynix vs samsung). My 1080 does 25.5. Mh/s with mem at 11ghz and my 1060 3gb samsung mem at 9ghz does 23.6Mh/s. 1060 with micron is junk maxes...

I'm using this mouse already at home, in for 1 for the office at this price. Out of the box this mouse will run 800,1600,3200 DPI with the DPI button. To get 4000 you need to install the software and change one of the DPI steps to 4000, but once you do it saves your settings on the mouse...

IMO this is not a "deal", maybe if these were binned to 5.2ghz+. All the reviewers are saying 70-80% of retail chips can do 5ghz, unless thats just shrill hype I don't see the point buying these. Also these were binned 5ghz with mem at 2400, might need slightly more voltage/more heat for same...

FYI PerformancePCs has the EK Fury waterblocks on sale for $70 which makes this even more tempting to me. Got a GTX 980 already but the DX12 force is strong with this one...
