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

    Went exploring today to find a certain crashed ship. Took a Connie out to give it some size perspective. Realized I could almost fit inside the engine....

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

    Finally started playing 3.0 yesterday. Outside of server stability issues and a handful of annoying bugs (reported what I could), the game is starting to look and feel like, well, an actual game. Able to complete a few missions and then started to get the hang of running cargo to/from ports...

    What's a good bargain board for an i5-7600K Kaby Lake

    I think you'll be happy with it. The SATA connectors are to the upper right of the chipset heat spreader. The RGB LED glowing red in the pic kind of hides them.

    What's a good bargain board for an i5-7600K Kaby Lake

    Probably a little late to the game, but I recently picked up this z270 board for $140: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157746&cm_re=As_rock_z270-_-13-157-746-_-Product Felt like a good board with a very decent feature list for the price. Due to where my desktop is set...

    Starting New WC Build (First Time) - EKWB Kit?

    First off, case arrived today. Quite an improvement of my much beloved but aged Lian Li PC 65. New case is slightly bigger, but feels so much roomier. And, the key point, won't require Dremel work to make it workable for internal watercooling. That said, after doing a lot of research last...

    Starting New WC Build (First Time) - EKWB Kit?

    Thanks for all the feedback. Case arrives this week so I can be hands on with it before finalizing overall design. When measuring it all out, I will look to see what angled fittings will be necessary. Good call on the PWM fan adapter and PWM fans. Definitely will be adding those to the...

    Starting New WC Build (First Time) - EKWB Kit?

    Finally getting around to putting together a new build (come on Ryzen reviews :)) and have always wanted to do a custom WC loop. My plan is to just water cool the CPU for now, but want to leave room to possibly add another radiator for the GPU in a year or two. Doing this for both performance...

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

    It's basically the baby PU. Multi crew is what jumps out, but it should also have missions, some fps play and be a HUGE map with places to explore. Possibly also some exposure to NPC interaction. It will be the point where they can start adding and testing all elements of the PU in one module...

    Nvidia Game-Ready Drivers To Be Locked Behind GeForce Experience

    I'm not a big fan of this, as I've had issues with GFE on both my laptop and desktop. Program sometimes gets hung up or won't open when accessing from the system tray. Annoying when I keep getting a message from the program in the tray saying there are new drivers yet won't let me open to...

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

    1.2 has been publicly released. If you hadn't tried the social module yet, now's the time.

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

    I backed Star Citizen way back in October 2012, and even then, before the "feature creep", felt it would take at least 3 years for this game to come to life. This is a very ambitious, complex project. I don't get why people were realistically expecting a two year target for a full game. Based...

    Seasonic Snow Silent 1050W Luck Draw!!!!!

    The combination of reliability (is anyone better than Seasonic?), the quiet performance and the unique color has me eyeing either the 750 or 1050 for my planned new system.

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

    Damn you, Chris Roberts! Made it three years without spending any more money on this game, and, then you put up the Tali base with LTI, so I just had to buy. Now, the vanguard with, possibly, LTI. Must...fight...urge.

    ASUS North America - ASUS Z170 Motherboards Q&A Thread

    Looking to upgrade to a 6700k and plan on going with an Asus mobo, but with built in WiFi since I want to avoid using an add-in card. Any chance of seeing a ROG board with built-in WiFi? I see the Deluxe has it, but would prefer going ROG.
