    New Mobo/Processor but gfx card won't run @16x PCIe 3.0

    OP, how did you choose which slot gets to run at x16? I thought the bandwidth is predetermined by the mobo, not a setting you can just change. I also have a MSI board that is really picky with PCI-e bandwidth. I'm pulling my hair out trying to make it run properly too.

    Does power draw still go through PCI-E slots?

    It's been known that older cards will draw some power through the PCI-e slots, even though you've already connected the 6-pin power connector. However, I've seen some mentions that newer video cards, like the HD7000 series and r9 series get their juice exclusively from the 6/8-pin dedicated...

    LF backlit tenkeyless mechanical keyboards

    You can consider a KBT oni, it's also backlit. It's a tad cheaper than the ducky shine II. Too new to confirm quality though, and I haven't gotten the chance to personally open one up.

    New Mechanical Keyboard

    I figured you could read between the lines, but I guess not. I never said they were identical. The point is that both Rosewill and Filco's core electronics are associated with Costar. They're not from completely different manufacturers like Costar and iOne that implies differences in quality.

    New Mechanical Keyboard

    Corsair K90 has firmware bugs, and also uses a subpar OEM compared to others. You can look into the Coolermaster quickfire rapid if you want a tenkeyless form factor, or a Rosewill RK-9000 if you need full size. Both CM quickfire and Rosewill has the same PCB as Filco, which is a known high...

    MX ergo-clear switch - a custom mod

    Intro for newbs: the term "ergo clear" switch refers to a switch that is a combination of a clear stem and a spring from either a red, blue, or brown switch. A normal clear switch is generally too heavy, so a spring from a red/blue/brown switch will make it feel lighter and also bring out the...

    Fixing Ivy Bridge high CPU temps: IHS removal video

    chronicfx, yeah I can do a quick test stressing with AVX on. The reason I didn't test with the newest p95 and AVX is because it was just a test of temps before and after the mod, it wasn't for stability under every condition. For my daily clocks, I'm running at 4.5ghz with 1.28v. I'll test using...

    Fixing Ivy Bridge high CPU temps: IHS removal video

    Hi guys, just a quick update. It's been almost 2 months since I've done this mod, and I tested temps again for consistency. Reason I'm doing this is because there are reports that temps will slowly start to climb after this mod. I just tested temps again with the same parameters, and it's...
