You've got PM.

At the same time?

Slight thread resurrection. Not coincidental to the 2070 coming out at all. :) So the 1080Ti is out of the cards at the moment. I just don't want to spend that much on a new video card unless it's absolutely necessary to play my games at 4k. Most of my games are older, non-AAA stuff...

So, my 3770K rig is getting a bit long in the tooth and I keep waffling back and forth on whether to upgrade it or not. It's primarily used for gaming, with the occasional video edit and I'm just not entirely sure there would be enough of a performance increase just yet. What I've got now...

Nice to see someone actually do the comparison. I'm still running a 3570K @ 4.2GHz that I got sometime back in 2012 with an R9-290X, 32GB RAM and a Samsung EVO 850 SSD on a Z77 motherboard. Every once in awhile, I get the bug to build a new rig, but never really find an incentive to. I've...

I went ahead and ordered a refurb i5 Venue 11 for her. We have a couple Atom based ones at work, so I brought one home for the weekend for her to try. It was far better than the RT, but there was still a slight, yet noticeable lag. She keps trying to steal my i7 Surface Pro 3...

So my wife made an impulse buy awhile back and got a first-gen Surface RT. It makes an excellent paperweight, but that's really about all she's able to use it for. All she ever really does with the thing is play Flash-based games on Facebook. It chugs bad on anything Flash related. I've...

Settled in at 4.5GHz. No real need to try for higher yet. Thing's been solid as a rock the whole time.

281w with Prime95 and Furmark running, according to my Killawatt.

Had it for almost two weeks now. Been really busy at work and only have her at 4.3GHz for the time being. Love it otherwise.

Here's what I had before I put the PSU and GPU in. Let's just say cable management is not one of my strong suits. I tinkered around with the four Spectre Pros in push/pull and the two Corsair fans that came with my H100 and ended up going back to the Corsair fans. They kept it about 4deg...

I'm building a new rig in a couple days and the SSDs got here before everything else. So I couldn't resist pulling my Velociraptors out and putting the SSDs in. I've been giggling incoherently since the first time I ran CrystalDiskMark. :eek: This is on my P5Q Pro, so I can't wait to...

Now the hard part; Waiting for the rest of it to get here...

Well, so much for that budget... :D Went with the 7850 instead, and got my 3570K anyway. And the Asus board... And if one SSD is fast, then two of them in RAID 0 should be a lot of fun.

Oooh! Ordered one.
