    I Bought a RTX 3080 Today!

    bestbuy dropped a few cards today (a little over an hour ago), but i wasn't able to successfully get any to my cart. The "more details" button turned blue, "add to cart" turned yellow, and as soon as i'd click it, there was some red bar message about an "extra step needed" and try again. I was...

    I Bought a RTX 3080 Today!

    relooked at my "notifies" (login>my EVGA>my notifies) and i was mistaken (i thought i got in line in November). I actually got in line with EVGA on 12/17 for a 3060ti and 12/18 for the 3080. I am pretty far in the back of the line i'm sure.

    I Bought a RTX 3080 Today!

    At least it wasn't just me. Thanks for confirming. I will keep on refreshing I would even go up a notch or two (not nearing the $1000 mark though), but the higher end aren't all that enticing since i'll just be putting it under a full cover block anyway and clocking it a little higher. Ha, i...

    I Bought a RTX 3080 Today!

    Did I miss the bestbuy drop or did it not happen today? Been refreshing most of the day since 7am EST. I'm working on another computer, so I only refresh the site every few mins. My 1080ti is showing it's age on my ultrawide and this thread has given me upgrade fever. Also, anybody had a...

    New build, Ryzen 3600 getting 95.5c max temps

    TBH, regardless of who to point the finger at, I had a 3600 in an opheon with a scythe big shuriken on it. Similar temps (40+ idles with mega-spikes 50+, and 90ish at load). Tried all the low volt/underclock, PBO off, and fan profile mods I could handle for a few weeks , and... Pretty much...

    AMD CPU List (Price/Wattage/nm/Cores/Threads)

    My version of a meta-analysis OP, I stole some of your data and added a bit of my own. Not sure how accurate this all is, but I used these cinebench scores as a baseline for this one. https://benchmarkwiki.com/wiki/cinebench-r20-scores-single-core-and-multi-core/ 'cause they posted all scores...

    AMD CPU List (Price/Wattage/nm/Cores/Threads)

    If you'd be able, I think adding an average cinebench score (or another agreed upon metric) then dividing the points scored by current market price would add a ton of value to the chart. Just my opinion though. Data doesn't lie if you have no agenda

    usb to usb c adaptor to use Oculus Rift sensor

    grabbed mine at best buy. It's white and I believe was for mac. Works well. I use it for the rear sensor with the extension. It's USB c to female usb 2.0. Can't report the functionality of the c to usb 3 though. I have a gl502 as well.

    Fewer Cord-Cutters Flocking to Live-TV Streaming Services Than Expected

    Just cut the cord yesterday. Going the roku route. Actually was able to get plex/roku to do exactly what my HTPC was doing and turned the htpc into a little media server. Bonus for me. I already feel my brain cells regenerating, due to the lack of redundant crap content and commercials.

    Rad fan suggestions

    The gentle typhoons have since been separated from the scythe brand. Nidec servo still makes them. Look for the brand "darkside" and the gentle typhoon model. They tend to run about $20 a piece. Best IMHO, as well. Vardar are a very good copy and basically perform the exact same (RPM per...

    Water temperature sensors

    good deal. I see a 2-3 c delta between my rads (2x120 and 3x120). One feeds the gpu block and the other the cpu. Pretty close to what you are getting. I'm running 56mm thick rads too fwiw. I like to use the rad output to judge the efficiency at the given fan speed (what I can control)...

    Water temperature sensors

    The way you want to set it up is a temp sensor in the water and another of ambient air. Aquasuite lets you set up a "virtual sensor" that will reflect this delta temp. I have the inline aquacomputer ones, they look just like the phobyas. I have a sensor at the outlet of each of my rads. One...

    GN's at it again, 1080ti hybrid

    Following a thread over at EVGA, they've been stringing the titan folks around for nearly a year, with promises of a hybrid cooler actually made for it. Following it more recently, it seems evga has continued that promise to say that whatever hybrid cooler they do release will work on both the...

    I have found weird results. Why 1080 is faster than 1080 ti?

    Find a review with a 1080 and 1080ti in it. Make sure the review shows results for GTA V Figure out the percent difference between the two cards at the closest resolution to 1080p (probably 1440p) Use that found percentage to calculate the added fps (for example, if it's 20% faster, and...

    Oculus Touch Impressions

    One thing that has worked well for me is to press my upper lip towards my nose (VR duck face) and inhale strongly through my nose. My lip sort of seals the nose opening. This floods the headset with cool air (from all sides) and provides some relief from the heat. I find myself doing it...

    I hate you Oculus Rift - now I got to buy

    Rift feels like it needs to sit a little low too. Once you get it there, it is comfortable, just not the intuitive position, like where ski goggles would be.

    I hate you Oculus Rift - now I got to buy

    Just picked up my rift yesterday. I went back and forth between it and the vive, for a few days. Reviews I watched mostly said the lack of room-scale was the biggest downside. Reviews where folks had the developer pack, and both were room-scale pretty much sold me on the rift. Seems like...

    I grabbed a g710+ a few months ago and am pretty happy with it. A little quieter than the reds and blues I have tried, but still clicky enough for my liking. Much better than the mushy g15 I had previously. I wanted backlighting, and that's better on the 710+ as well. Brighter and more...
