    For Trade : MSI GamingX 1060 6GB for AMD 5500XT

    Man. If I hadn't just dropped a few grand on hernia surgery, I'd be all over this.

    Corsair 700D Fan Layout

    So, I did end up with everything being intakes except the rear exhaust. Seems to be working fine. I've had to play around with the top fan fan curves, though, as it seems I put shitty fans in there, and they are loud as fuck with anything over 5 volts. For a while I was running with just one...

    Corsair 700D Fan Layout

    That's what I thought, and that's how I have it set up from last time. The exhaust is the rear fan, and everything else, including the top, is intake. Does it matter if the top is intake instead of exhaust? I could switch the rear to intake and top to exhaust, but that seems like I'd end up...

    Corsair 700D Fan Layout

    So, I'm building a new PC, and I have an old Corsair 700D I'm going to put it in. I have a question about how the fans should be configured, though. The case was obviously built around water cooling, but I'm just going to be air cooling. Looking at the case, it looks like it actually has a...

    Titanfall - Respawn Entertainment's first game

    Both Titanfalls have absolutely horrible netcode. Worse than any other popular shooters I've played. TF1 is worse, but TF2 is still bad. Tons of rubberbanding, terrible hit reg, being shot well behind walls, etc. Buyer beware.

    Full Acrylic Cases

    You know damn well 90% of the people in GenMay never read the vast majority of the other parts of the forums, and there are plenty of people who aren't subbed to GenMay as well.

    Full Acrylic Cases

    Does anyone know of any full, clear acrylic PC cases you can buy from a reputable manufacturer? Preferably a full tower, but a mid tower would be acceptable. The case in that video looks sick as fuck, but I definitely don't want to buy anything from AliExpress.

    Private Internet Access VPN Sold

    I have no idea who Kape is, but /tinfoilhat... They're secretly a government run entity that is buying up every VPN possible to put in backdoors to allow for unfettered surveillance of encrypted VPN traffic. It's the only logical answer.

    Do YOU have Problems with YOUR RTX card?

    So, around 20% of cards are dead or have issues? That's an insanely high rate.

    Cheap "gaming" mouse?

    Logitech G602. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Lag-Free-Wireless-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00E4MQODC/ If you ever decide you need the buttons, you have them, and it's a ridiculously good mouse for the price. The battery life is seriously insane, too. With leaving it on 24/7 in high accuracy mode, it...

    AMD, where are you?

    My google feed early this week had several different news stories come up about an imminent 12 nm Polaris refresh coming in October. I think it was two different anonymous sources from within AMD, as well as some data mining of new device IDs in AMD drivers that line up with Polaris cards that...

    AMD, where are you?

    I mean, you sound like an AMD fanboy, not a Vega one. In all of your comparisons your only comparing to other AMD products, while completely ignoring the fact that Nvidia absolutely dominates the top end, while remaining price competitive against AMD at lower performance levels, too. Sure...

    AMD, where are you?

    It seems you can't math. A $600 video card with $100 of free games doesn't make the video card cost any less. Just like a buy one get one half off doesn't make the first one cheaper, for example. If you don't need the second one, it doesn't give you anything of value. It just tricks you into...

    AMD, where are you?

    It looks like AMD is taking the, "Fuck it! We'll do it with two dies!" approach, just not for a gaming card. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-radeon-pro-dual-vega-v340,37694.html

    AMD, where are you?

    I probably worded it badly, but that's kind of my point. Performance wise, a Vega 64 competes with a 1080. Even though it's not the best card out right now, it's still pretty good. If a Vega 64 cost the same as a 1080, I'd be satisfied with a Vega 64. But it's not. It's fucking $250 more...

    AMD, where are you?

    Might have to go the used route. At least then Nvidia doesn’t get more money. I have a non-ti 980. Any Vega 64 / 1080 / 1080 ti would be a huge upgrade for me.
  17. Sextron

    AMD, where are you?

    God damn. My local microcenter has 1080 ti's for $650. Vega 64 is $700. Come the fuck on, AMD. You need to fucking get something out that can at LEAST compete with a 1080 at the same price point. Only having shit tier cards or cards that are outclassed by cheaper cards is just fucking...

    AMD, where are you?

    I haven't followed the internal politics of AMD at all, but what if Raja really was just being held back, and Intel releases an absolutely revolutionary GPU? I know it probably won't happen, but it'd be kind of funny. Also, as long as Intel releases something vaguely competent, that's a plus...

    AMD, where are you?

    Yeah. With how far behind they’ve been lagging, I’ve always wondered why they haven’t gone the, “Fuck it. Slap two dies on a single card and call it a day.” approach, but maybe 12 nm would make something like that more feasible.

    AMD, where are you?

    Just came across this today, as I’m also wondering wtf AMD is doing while Nvidia announces some potentially stupid powerful video cards. https://wccftech.com/amd-gpu-rumors-12nm-polaris-30-7nm-navi-7nm-vega-20-radeon-rx-gaming/ It’s just rumors, but it looks like there’s a possibility AMD...

    Scythe FUMA SCFM-1000 Twin Tower CPU Air Cooler @ [H]

    Mounting it wasn't the hard part. Shimmying the goddamn fan mounting brackets past 80000 fins, when the bracket is like 50% skinnier than the fins, was the hard part.

    ASUS ROG Radeon RX Vega 64 STRIX Gaming review 25th september

    Quick unboxing and OC testing by JayzTwoCents. Seems like the card has some problems. They're getting higher clocks by undervolting, and pretty much instantly crash if they try to push the core speed higher at all.

    AMD Threadripper Gooseberry HEDT World Record? - [H]

    Goddamn. I'm loving this shit. I've never been into heavy overclocking, cause I just didn't have the pockets if I fucked something up, but I've never seen so much excitement in the community since I bought my first PC back in high school. That first PC was a pre-built, business class HP. I...

    Scythe FUMA SCFM-1000 Twin Tower CPU Air Cooler @ [H]

    So, I just got one of these. My idle temps are exactly the same as the review, but my load temps are at about 59 degrees (Compared to 50 in the review.). I have a 5820k. Is that kind of temp increase to be expected with 6 cores over 4, or is the airflow in my case shit, or some combination of...

    Looking for an alternative to a mouse

    Anything that you just described would not work on a surface that isn't flat. Plenty of optical mice work very well on surfaces that aren't completely flat, like a couch or pant leg. If those don't float your boat, you pretty much are left with a trackball or a drawing surface thingy.

    Ever any deals on Mech. Keyboards?

    I saw that one, too, but after using a Steelseries Zboard keyset that didn't have a numpad for forever, I know that not having a numpad would drive me nuts.

    Alternatives to Razer Naga

    First impressions are good. A little bigger and heaver than my Naga, but definitely not huge. Nowhere close to as big as the old Steelseries WoW mice. Also rides a lot smoother than my Naga, but that might just be because it's newer and cleaner. Button stiffness and shape hasn't been a big...

    If that's the case, then it's almost certainly your desk that is warped, and not the keyboard, otherwise the keyboard would be wobbly in whatever orientation it was in.

    Alternatives to Razer Naga

    So, I just ordered the Logitech G602, which I didn't know existed when I made this thread. http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g602-wireless-gaming-mouse Looks to be significantly smaller than the 600, it only has 6 side buttons, and it doesn't have the shift button, so I think it will...

    Alternatives to Razer Naga

    So, I've had a Razer Naga for several years, and I love it. Unfortunately, the right mouse button is starting to give out, and will randomly not stay activated if I'm only pressing it lightly. This sucks for tracking in MMOs. So, are there any other mice out there that aren't huge, and have...
