    Anti freeze and sub 0 temps in water loop?

    Is condensation an issue (or even possible) if the whole thing is outside in open air? Assuming that the air/ambient temperature is lower than anything else, I mean. Though I would think there are plenty of other potential problems with it being outside, and I guess it depends on if it's in a...

    Alcohol: The Solution to Everything?

    Well, pure gold theoretically doesn't tarnish, but I don't think any of this stuff would be pure solid gold, and plating is probably really thin and easily worn away. Gold also won't stop other crap from building up, like if the air is humid and filled with contaminants. I'm imagining, for...

    USB2.0 PCI-E Cards?

    So does anyone have some suggestions? I wouldn't even know where to begin with figuring out whether any particular card will have the quality I'm looking for, especially with the clean power delivery.

    USB2.0 PCI-E Cards?

    I have a few different audio interfaces/mixers that are USB 2.0 or older, I guess 1.1 would have been before that? And I may need to use others in the future, possibly older used equipment. Since audio stuff is nice in that as long as it's good quality and works well, you might not benefit...

    Please recommend a CPU for low-latency .vst performance!

    Do you happen to have links to resources that explain these configurations and optimizations? I'd love to have something that I can keep and reference for audio and general latency stuff, as it's something I've had issues with in the past, and you certainly seem to know your stuff. Thanks!

    USB2.0 PCI-E Cards?

    Well, I'm not totally sure if certain legacy devices like some audio interfaces will work exactly the same on USB 3, and stuff like latency is a concern... But if there are any cards that meet the other requirements and are guaranteed to handle USB 2.0 devices exactly the same (or better?), I'd...

    USB2.0 PCI-E Cards?

    I'm in the need of a nice USB expansion card to take some load off of my on-board USB for webcam, audio, and some other stuff. I took a quick look around and it seems like there are a lot of options, but not necessarily anything recent or of particularly high quality. At least, it's hard for...

    Vega Rumors

    Well, this sucks. I can't say I expected much, but at least more than this. Still no decent - let alone good - information, and at least two months away, probably more for any nice non-reference models... I've had AMD/ATI cards for as far back as I can remember after Voodoo... One or two...

    Vega Rumors

    I guess it depends on what you(or he) would consider something special. If he had said "shouldn't need to do anything to take advantage" or even "do anything differently" then it would be more explicit. As it is though, you could say that a developer having to code for something isn't...

    OLED 4K 30" 60 Hz - Dell UP3017Q

    Are image retention/panel wear and brightness the only reasons to not leave the OLED lit up for a longer time? I'm imagining that with the speed of OLED's transition, the ideal image smoothness would be really high refresh (240Hz?) with the pixels lit almost constantly. Maybe that's a wrong...

    Vega Rumors

    Pay hasn't increased along with inflation and production output, which is one of the reasons we need to have a UBI a decade or two ago... People aren't able to buy the things being produced.

    AOC Agon AG352UCG. Just got delivered... something's not right. Help me understand what's going on.

    Well the star one is really poor quality, with compression artifacts all over it, turning the glow into a big mess. The NASA one clearly has two distinct sides, with the left being more washed out with more brightness, lighter blacks, because of the glare. It's also really hard to say how much...

    Damn assholes are spending all this money on the fucking packaging and we don't even know what the hell good the card is, yet... And if it's water cooled only that would really suck.

    Radeon R9 290 only fully clocks after restart

    Yeah, when I set Afterburner like in those shots, it locks everything like that. Nothing changes it, not games, not GPU-Z's render test thing, not Clockblocker. That allows it to run a stable desktop environment though, without dropping out my USB bandwidth from all the DPC latency shit that...

    Radeon R9 290 only fully clocks after restart

    Alright, well I tried again... Manually deleted the AMD stuff in the System32 DriverStore, ran DDU, restarted, ran it again just to be sure. Fully uninstalled Afterburner, installed the newest driver package "non-whql-win10-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-relive-17.1.1-jan16.exe" and restarted...

    Radeon R9 290 only fully clocks after restart

    Cool, well I tried that. Must not have fully cleaned everything for some reason. It went into safe mode and everything though... So what do you suggest? How can I fully strip all AMD drivers and settings(game profiles, etc.) without reformatting? Is there some trick to DDU that I'm missing...

    Radeon R9 290 only fully clocks after restart

    Just tried it after a driver reinstall. It doesn't work... just kicks the GPU into some weird state where the memory clock goes down to 150 and everything gets scrambled. I would just use WattMan, but there's no way to set it to stay at a specific clock, and the variations cause a ton of...

    Radeon R9 290 only fully clocks after restart

    Seriously, there's no way? And yeah, "unofficial overclocking mode - without PowerPlay support" is what used to do the trick for me to lock exact clocks. Now none of it is working. As a bonus, WattMan seems to be a barely-functioning piece of shit with no decent customization options.

    Radeon R9 290 only fully clocks after restart

    So, fucking Windows 10 just forced a driver update on me, and now I have WattMan, which is overriding my Afterburner settings which I used to set fixed clocks... because the constant fluctuations cause a bunch of DPC latency issues. Is there any way to remove this fucking horrible addition to...

    Suggest a [H]ard monitor

    Ah, interesting... Yeah, I'm really curious to see the specs for that 27" one. The design is a bit strange though, and it doesn't really look like it would be able to attach to a regular mount... I wonder if there would be an adapter or something...

    Suggest a [H]ard monitor

    I'm in a somewhat similar situation... I'd like a 2560x1440 27" display with 120Hz or higher (so basically just 144 I guess) and FreeSync. But the catch is that I want a high quality display with strong color accuracy and no IPS glow... So from what I've read it seems like I want to be...

    MSI X99A Gaming Pro Carbon Broadwell-E Motherboard @ [H]

    I don't know what this "good info" is that you're talking about, because I don't see anything useful. But yeah I need a new BIOS and chipset drivers or something to solve this shit. I desperately hope it's not more complicated than that.

    MSI X99A Gaming Pro Carbon Broadwell-E Motherboard @ [H]

    Yes! I'm having a lot of issues... I built this rig for streaming, and my webcam is choppy as hell, my USB audio interface cuts out and dies. There's a ton of DPC latency. I'm using the same gear as my old PC which ran it fine - just way underpowered - so I'm extremely disappointed. It's...

    Dream Monitor

    I'm really hoping for OLED to proliferate in monitors in the next few years... I hate back-lighting quite a bit. So I want a 27" 1440 OLED that can do 240Hz with FreeSync. I'll be disappointed if I can't get an affordable monitor like this in the next 2-3 years. As a real dream I'd love to...

    Upgrade from 2500k to 6700k

    People who expect their phones to replace a nice DSLR or whatever else confuse the hell out of me...
