I feel ya on the power limit. But the way I look at it is, I paid retail on launch day, I'm not chasing records and realistically, the in-game performance between this and the FTW3 is probably what? 2-3 frames at most if we're talking about keeping a good undervolt? Some days I still try and...

I have the XC3 with active backplate from EK. When mining, junction temps stay at 72. Normal load it's something like 50C

Damn all these folks with the FTW3U. Really sad sometimes I have the XC3 which is 2x8PCIE. Trying to score a 3x8PCIE but with these times....might just have to be happy with what I got :D

While EK has tons of bad PR from previous things, I have seen most interactions and my own interactions have been very positive. You also have to remember that compared to every other watercooling vendor, EK outsells them probably 10x or more in terms of raw parts shipped/pieces used in builds...

Nice. Yeah I'm going to have an interesting set-up since I run 2-3 pumps (MORA with a dual pump top, then with the addition of the ultitube+d5 next combo since I didn't/couldn't think of a way to cleanly integrate the standalone) to make sure that my pumps adjust accordingly to not go over the...

I've got one on order to play around with. Hopefully it ships sooner than 6-7 weeks that I've been quoted.

Nice! Slideshot breach loaders are some toxicity in PVP. I can easily just slay out with them and it just feels unfair. Granted, I was a breach loader user all the way back in D2Y1 when they were heavies and Fighting Lion but yeah. With the shotty and 120 nerf i have a feeling breach loaders are...

Ordered one. 60 day wait time from the EU and 59 EUR shipping to the US. Hope it's worth the wait!

This is what I did after I flashed 3601 and couldn't boot since I didn't realize I couldn't restore profile. Pressed it on the back and I was good to go. A god send since at the time since I had all the buttons on the bottom blocked off by a radiator.

So I flashed the latest BIOS 3601. Everything seems fine. Though if you reset your bios using saved profiles you probably will not want to do that as I was unable to boot. Had to reset my BIOS and just re-configure it manually again to the same settings.

I was the 2nd person to get it in my clan on the....5th run? It's so underwhelming it makes me sad. It needs like a slight range buff or more damage for the limited range it has.

Least your 5950x wasn't delivered by amazon in an envelope :D Thankfully the CPU wasn't knocked loose and the box was just slightly dented in the corner when I got mine.

Follow this guide:

Definitely agree that the Arctic Liquid Freezer 360 is probably the way to go if you don't care for RGB and all that jazz. And of course the Arctic P12 fans themselves are no slouch and often touted as the budget version of the famed Noctua A12x25s.

This has always been my concern with mining over any of the other energy concerns. It's these huge dumps of cards into e-waste that can't be sold once the "next best mining card" comes out. E-waste is only an ever growing problem and while almost no government right now is investing in solving...
