The base game free right now has all the expansion content, all versions do. The newer bundles just include some cosmetics and other mostly pointless crap.

USB can do NKRO just fine if the manufacturer chooses to. Nerdy explanation. In the case of your Majestouch, Filco didn't choose too. However, it will still do NKRO with the PS/2 adapter.

Just to broaden the horizon a bit further, some people will use a gamepad and a mouse together. Analog stick movement while retaining mouselook, works pretty well if you don't need tons of buttons for a game.

Aww shit... just realized who I was responding to. I'm nobody around here, but even I've noticed your frequent past PC worries. Yeah man, lighten up and let it go. Enjoy your games and don't think too much about every little weird thing that happens. Computers do weird shit all the time, it's...

Since it only happened once and everything is fine since then, I'd just chalk it up to any number of random power issues. A short brownout or unusual fluctuations on the mains can sometime cause a PSU to shut off. I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts happening repeatedly.

Is that PSU from a year ago or more? Some of their older Focus models had an oversensitive OCP problem with 30 series cards, and some of their older Prime series are sensitive to noise on the 12V sense line also caused by 30 series cards. I experienced the latter with the exact same symptoms you...

I had the hard shutdown problem on an older TX-750 with a 3080ti. Was convinced it was an OCP thing as well after reading this thread and others. Fortunately, I stumbled across the thread where Johnny Guru explains that it has nothing to do with OCP on the Prime models and is really a problem...

PBO on motherboard limits, CO at -25 for most cores, two cores at -15, Fmax enhancer off, and DRAM/FCLK at 1900. Everything else relevant on auto/default. I hadn't messed with RAM timings yet when the 00 codes started cropping up. I honestly don't know, I haven't tried optimized yet (or really...

I saw the same issue when setting CPU Power Phase Control to extreme, I would get random crashes with Q-Code 00. Switch back to auto and everything is rock solid, no other changes were necessary. Maybe there is something buggy going on with the extreme setting.

W_PUMP+ and AIO_PUMP default to full speed, but you can configure them for PWM or voltage control in the BIOS if you like. So you can use whichever header is most convenient to you. edit: doh, didn't see the other reply while I was typing. Yeah, what he said.

Most likely it's because of a phenomena known as clock stretching. Essentially, the processor is throttling frequency down then back up faster than most monitoring software can recognize. The reason for lower scores is because your true average frequency ends up being lower over a given time...

Yeah, avoid the 4000D if you plan to top mount, nice case but it is very tight up top. I know from experience that Arctic's 280 and Gskill Neo aren't even close to fitting. In fact, front mount 280 with tubes down will require a bit of case cutting (Yup, I hacked that brand new SOB up). Tubes up...

Both examples get their key switches from Cherry, which is a popular mechanical switch manufacturer that most others are copying (copycats include Gateron, Kailh, Zeal, and many others). Your first link is made by Varmilo who I don't know much about, but for your second, the Filco boards from...

It's probably fine. A small amount of bent fins isn't going to make any real difference as long as none of the tubes got damaged.

That LED is associated with the USB Bios Flashback function. Normally, if you hold the button on the back down for a few seconds you would see that light flash a few times and then it would attempt to do the BIOS flash if there was a drive with a Bios image on it attached to the right port. As...
