    Zen 2 Review Summary

    Sadly I didn't read the reviews before jumping on board the hype train. I'll be side/downgrading from an 8700K to a 3700X. Newegg won't let me cancel the X570 board I ordered (even though it hasn't even shipped) so I guess I'm in it for the long haul now. Given how long I've been at this game I...

    Konami announces PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16 Mini

    What's with all the 3DO hate? I thoroughly enjoyed my Goldstar 3DO. It had some great games. Wing Commander III, Killing Time, Gex, Lucienne's Quest to name a few.

    Apex Legends launching monday(titanfall BR)

    I've been playing the game with friends for a couple of weeks now, and this weird performance issue is causing me to let my team down. Despite getting 100+fps, I'm getting wildly inconsistent frame pacing. It feels like I'm playing at 25fps, especially during intense firefights. Visual...

    Mayflower ARC vs AUDIOTRAK Prodigy CUBE?

    Mostly autism I suppose. I'd rather have the input much closer to me, and I like the idea of having an all in one solution.

    Mayflower ARC vs AUDIOTRAK Prodigy CUBE?

    I'm looking for a new USB DAC to use with my LSR305's that has a microphone input. I was about to order the Mayflower ARC when I came across this much cheaper no name Korean unit, the AUDIOTRAK Prodigy CUBE. Specs look halfway decent. I'll rarely use the headphone jack so that's not much of a...

    Phone recommendation for older parents?

    My parents want to get the T Mobile unlimited 55+ plan. Trying to be the good son, I'm looking for a pair of decent yet economical unlocked Android phones. Both parents are in their early to mid 60's, and neither can tell their ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to technology. This...

    My thoughts and experience as well. I have high hopes for gen 2 though. Hopefully they release it with not only a resolution bump, but also wireless.

    Bitcoin Closing in on $10,000 as Cryptocurrency Market Reaches $300 Billion

    I'd like to think I'd have held out, but I'll never know. If there's a silver lining I do have a few litecoins. I'll be holding on to those.

    Bitcoin Closing in on $10,000 as Cryptocurrency Market Reaches $300 Billion

    On a serious note, how does one manage with the increasing depression from loosing 300 Bitcoins back in 2010? I'm sure I'm not the only one here who lost a sizable amount at some point.

    DEMCiflex magnetic filter on aluminum?

    I ordered mine off of Amazon, and the listing didn't specify if it's the ferrous or non-ferrous version. I assume only the non-ferrous version includes the sticky back magnet piece?

    DEMCiflex magnetic filter on aluminum?

    Is there a good way to get a DEMCiflex magnetic filter to stick to an aluminum case? I've got two 92mm intake fans on the under side of a case, and a dual 92mm DEMCiflex filter on order. I thought about sourcing some thin steel tape, and trimming it to the dimensions of the perimeter of the...

    [H]OT!! LG 55" OLED (2017 model B7) - $1399 w/free shipping @ Newegg Marketplace

    For those considering waiting for the 2018 models, LG is moving to a new production process and might not have all the kinks worked out. Much like you should never buy the first year of a new model car, it might be advantages to either wait until 2019, or get a current model while the gettin's...

    Alienware AW3418DW 34" Ultrawide

    As far as 120Hz+ 1440p ultrawide IPS gsync displays go, yes. Probably until around this time next year anyhow. Acer's X34P is supposed to come out next month, and I assume Asus's variant sometime soon after. Given those two manufacturers poor QC, I'd get the AW3418DW now and be done with it.

    Alienware AW3418DW 34" Ultrawide

    Got mine two days ago and love it. This is my first experience with an ultrawide, and I won't be going back to 16:9 anytime soon. I was a little concerned coming from my XB270HU, but the slight increase in response time isn't noticeable to me, and I'm pretty perceptive.

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    I'm going to order custom length cables for the SF600. I see the recommended lengths are - ATX 150mm, EPS 300mm and PCIe 350mm, but what about SATA power? Specifically for a two drive combo below the PSU?

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    My 8700K was delivered today, and I'm thinking of sending it to Silicon Lottery for a delid. What's the consensus on the 8700K and A4 combo? Is it worth it? Update: I guess this answers my question. Wow!

    Alienware AW3418DW 34" Ultrawide

    Dell is now taking orders for the AW3418DW, and at $1,500 is pretty steep. However, since Acer seems to have abandoned the X34P, this one is the next best thing. I've heard Dell is much better when it comes to back light bleed compared to Acer and Asus. Is there any truth to this? If so, I'll...

    What causes this effect?

    No mods, just stock Andromeda. FOV slider is set to max though. Thanks everyone for the info. I turned off chromatic aberration, and it looks much better.
