I have seen several nitros on sale, though their price point doesn’t seem quiet right for SSD and CPU generation.

I’m not concerned too much with thin and light. I’d rather have some better battery life or cooling, over thin and light. I work out of my truck or a trailer at work. My MBP is/was a tank anyway.

Yes, I had a quick look around, and also a few other vendors online.

They are about 5hrs away. Though they ship. That seems to tick all the boxes. Thanks. Didn’t see any of the GB anywhere else I looked.

Hello, I’ve been out of the hardware game for a long time. I also switched over to Mac for my laptop needs. However I had my MBP overheat, and it’s acting up. So it’s going in, and being that it’s all soldiered, it may have reached its end of life. So I’m looking for a gaming laptop. Obviously...

My wife would never go for the removal of the cabinet. I think I’ll try a 4” online infinity with temp control. I’m going to look at plumbing it into my mech room. It’s directly below and about 6’ over laterally.

Issue with mine vs that, is mine is a built in cupboard. I don’t have a space behind it. I can’t just put two fans in the rear. As that would just go into a wall cavity. And thus have no flow. I think I’ll be going with a 4” split across the shelf. Though not sure how that would work. Perhaps T...

I could also put in a 4” inline fan, and muffle it.

There is some gains, though with every product now doing their own form of OC, it’s not as rewarding. Though looking at higher end CPUs, they already push the bounds. This isn’t 10y ago. If you have extra cooling you can squeeze a bit. Though unless encoding, your not gaining a ton on games.

Hello, Looking for some suggestions on cooling my cabinet. Long story short, the kids have closed the doors while playing and cooked two PS4s while I’m not home (white one just got back from Sony a few months ago as it got so hot LEDs fell off the board, black one was bought used in may, and is...

Well, think I’ve decided on a PC build. Though different from suggested. I am going to go intel cpu, and and GPU, for reasons I can’t talk about here. Thinking: i5-9600K Asus Tuff Z390 - Plus Gaming Wifi G.Skill Trident Z 2x16 DDR4 3200 Radeon 5700XT Re-use Silverstone Raven 2 Evo NH-D14...

Yes my 2500K runs at 4.4 daily, and 4.7 if I want. Anything above that, and my fans kick to high and it gets noisy. Wonder about a power colour reference Vega56. If flashable great (currently 6950->6970), and its listed as a compatible card should i decide to go egpu later. 56 should be...

Yeah, looking to keep it budget friendly. Which is why I’m looking at the egpu option as well. I’m in Canada, so the egpu is about $550, and graphics cards are 3-400 depending. I was planning if I went egpu to stay with compatible OS X cards, so it would work with OSX as well. So that’s gonna...

Hello, Looking to start doing some light gaming on PC again, as the kids are taking over the living room. I have the Rig in my signature still, which clearly wont cut much. i5 2500K, MSI GD-65, MSI 6970. Im just wondering which route is recommended. I dont think upgrading my current system...

So if you leave v-sync enabled, on a 120 or 144hz display do the issues exist? Or is it when you play on a 60hz display and don't cap the frame rate at 60, and allow it to get to say 80

Any update on if over 60 messes the game up?

Well pretty disappointed. Went to see if my pip-boy edition had shown up at best buy. Turns out they canceled my order. Said it was back-ordered too long, so they canceled it. No email, no nothing. Guess Ill pick up a reg copy somewhere else.

Is anyone getting the game tomorrow? Mine shows up on the 12th. But I have 15 days straight, of 12hr days. Maybe you could test over 60fps issues?

Skyrim I only got 120 on interiors (caves etc) but I could tell once I hit it, and would look to the corner of the screen for confirmation. The initial reviews don't look like anything will hit 120 steady (single card) And VRAM doesn't look like an issue. I'm sure they will squeeze a bit more...

I'll see what Black Friday brings. I'm not expecting much, we get a much crappier Black Friday in Canada, then you guys. A Ti would run me around 900 with current market I have no issue spending money on the video card, just didn't see much value in spending another 2-3k on a build (think last...

I've always liked the asus laptops for the cooling. Non vented bottom, front intake, rear exhaust. Makes for being able to play on almost any surface

Yeah, most say you can't really tell past 60fps, but I seemed to notice the second I peaked over 120. Maybe it's just hitting the sweet spot with the monitor, but everything all of a sudden gets fluid moving. That's when I was hooked on 120hz. 144 wasn't out when I bought my PC (which...

Yeah, I can hit 4.7 on mine stable, but I don't like how warm it runs for no real gains. So I stay around 4.4 for the most part. So what should I look at a 970, 390? They look fairly even aside from the vram. Though we won't know how much is needed till the games out. Only concern with the...

Hello, Guys I have the rig in my sig. Id like to play Fallout 4 at 1080P (all I have for a monitor), though id like the frame rate up around 120fps (skyrim got real smooth at 120fps). I realize its not out, and honest reviews on performance aren't available, but I've been out of the hardware...

1x MSI 6950 Twin Frozer II -> 6970 Shaders. Not currently OCed. Just replaced SSD, so haven't put afterburner on it. Though it ran at 900/1325 all day long without breaking a sweat.

I'd try on my current card, in display forum I was told I need more umf

Hello, I'm looking to go with a triple screen setup, but in an extended desktop mode. I don't think I need to game across all 3 (don't game much, and bezels will drive me nuts). But I use dual monitors right now for work (center 23" and side 19") and would like a third screen. I can get all...

I've seen those. I was thinking of a Mac mini too. But I need a mini for my automation platform, so don't want them being able to mess with the house.

How much more card will I need? I'm not a heavy gamer (kid 3 coming down the shoot), also what extra load am I looking at having things on the side screen while gaming?

It's for the kids, so it really doesn't matter, kids are currently tomorrow morning/3/5. So personal preference won't matter really. I like my keyboard and mouse, I do to think they need a G510. As long as they stay out of the office, and off the business PC I'm happy. They like to move and...

Looking to build a PC for the kids, to keep them off mine and out if the office. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Light Gaming, Flash Games, YouTube etc 2) What's your budget? No budget restrictions 3) Which country do you live in? Canada, Alberta. Most likely Newegg.ca, NCIX, etc...

Hello, I'm looking to do a triple monitor setup. Currently I have the rig in my sig. I have a 120hz monitor, I don't want it to be Eyefinity, but rather like am extended desktop. I currently have an old monitor as a side monitor for office stuff, but would like to go maybe 3x1080. To have say...

Hey guys, Im in the hunt for a new work laptop. I have a Dell D630 for RS232 tasks etc with work. But id like a good day to day laptop. Id like it to have some decent power, just so it lasts a little bit, but I dont need a gaming laptop by any means. Good battery life would be good aswell...

At a certain point, it needs surface area to dissipate heat. Id guess that's why its AL. Im just hoping for as low as possible idle W. As really its not going to be taxed

Well, I ordered and received most of my automation parts. And I'll run a work log on automating my home for you guys here. However the automation IOS software I am going to run for iPad (in wall) and iPhone control of house is somewhat limited. (no worse then OEM offering). However they have a...

We generally use APC through work

I haven't tested anything. My meters are in my job trailer. I'll bring them home tomorrow

Yeah. I used the PC for gaming with a few games (skyrim, dishonoured etc). But not gaming right now. 2.25 kids (one on way lol), and more work then I know what to do with.

Ya. I'll look at a new PSU. That type of heat would take some serious amp draw. I'll be getting a UPS. Was just using a Power Bar. Do you have a PSU recommendation for my setup. I know I went big the first time, Incase I went CF. Dual cards won't be happening, no games I want to play that would...

Well my power connector melted for whatever reason. Took out my SSD. I need to pick one up locally to get it going tonight. Wife uses it to pay bills etc. Here are my options, I'm replacing a m4 256. Local options id consider (staying clear of ocz, Kingston etc) Plextor m5s...
