I think that you're only going to get the ROI out of this if you do a lot of hard tubing. And if you do a lot of hard tubing, you've probably already got processes for a lot of this. However, I can honestly say, I would buy it and in fact, if I start doing more hard tubing in my builds for...

Seems like sourcing the parts for these rigs is the main problem... I can't find 1070Ti's for less than about $480-500 per. Hell, I can find GTX 1080's (non-Ti o/c) for $500 each pretty easy... The mining craze seems to have hit long and hard

Hell, it sounds like the B250 Mining Expert is worth the money even if you just use it as a riser tester :) Sadly, there are no Microcenters where I live (Tennessee) but I just checked about 10 of them and they all say SOLD OUT for that board. Hell, I wouldn't mind buying from a buyer I don't...

Thanks for the response. I think the 1070Ti (or 1080Ti) also have the edge as far as resell. So it seems the B250 is only available through channels I've never heard of (i.e. not Amazon, Newegg, or BH, basically). Since I'm only going 8 right now, would an ASUS Prime Z370-A be out of the...

If you had to make another 12 GPU system today, would you still go AMD or would you do NVIDIA? Not considering the systems you already have. IOW, what would you recommend to someone starting right now today to go down this road?

Is the naming right in the news post? I think Guru3D messed up and said 7900K instead of 7900X and then that has been perpetuated even into the tagging on this discussion post. Isn't it 7800X, 7820X, and 7900X? Not a huge deal but it caused me to go, "what, 7900K, never heard of that part"...

That's the only thing that has me on the fence. I don't have 6 video and 6 audio connections like Shaten but even trivial connections look difficult because you can't remove the top per this video: He talks about the top starting about 13:50 How do you even plug things in back there??? How...

Tsumi doesn't need me to speak up for him but I just had to jump in here and say you were unnecessarily rude. First of all, he didn't say, "don't buy a kit" or "you don't get what you pay for with a kit". He was responding to someone who said, "saved over half the price", which even by your...

Speaking of old watercooling gear, anyone have ANY idea if either of these two ancient set of blocks have any value? If nothing else, I'd rather see someone use them rather than just throwing them away. None of these have been used at all. Those are aquacomputer aquagraphiX1800 blocks (I...

I remember now why I'm interested in less than 3/8". I have LOTS of 1/4" geared parts from wayyyyy back. IIRC, I was using some sorta rigid 1/4" ID tubing (actually I think it was 6mm or such) that you just slid into those black and black and silver connectors and it just worked. I'm starting...

So I've been out of watercooling for a LONG time but I used to be an aquacomputer fan. And IIRC, I used tubing that was smaller than the two prevailing US sizes, which I remember as 3/8 and 1/2. Also, as I remember it, back then people were starting to appreciate the more restrictive blocks...

The post below by me was in the other thread before I found this "official" one. Just wanted to update, I registered at XFX's site and even though they have an Under Construction page for the Best Buy purchases, I entered my card info through the "Other retailers" link. Going through that...

I saw the promo via all the news sources that were covering the bundle deal, followed the link to AMD's site, clicked through their site and arrived at what seemed to be the _identical_ card shown on AMD's site as bundled with BF4 (a DUAL-X version in purple packaging), placed my order. Card got...

Sorry to be the noob in the room but can you give me just a brief tip on what a workstation class MB like the X10SAE offers you that you can't get from a Z87 board? I always assumed you went workstation class for dual proc but these are single proc boards.

I was really hoping to avoid all the "you're stupid for needing XP" and the "you should try XYZ instead" posts, sigh... I don't own the company, I work for the company. My net admin and I have been telling them for literally years to transition, it's not our call. I already mentioned we tried...
