Hello HardForum, I hope you're doing well!
Up for sale today is 16GB of lightly used, G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series DDR4 RAM (8gb x 2). This is fast ram running at 3600Mhz, with tight timings (17CAS). I used this in my system for about four or five months before I...
I recently shucked a WD 14tb Easy Store to use in my desktop to store the Steam games I'm not currently playing. It's the same size as a standard hard drive and is actually a bit quieter than the WD Black 4TB it replaced.
I've had a set for the last decade or so and they have been absolutely fantastic. Probably the best $100 I've spent on a computer. The left speaker is just starting to cut out at certain volumes though (a problem that can be avoided by using the volume slider in your system tray, rather than...
My co-workers son REALLY wants to start playing Snowrunner but the integrated graphics on his i5-4460 can't push it. His PSU is only 350w (it's a quality PSU at least though), so the power requirements will have to be low.
Let me know what you have and help me bring a new recruit into PC...
My 2080ti allows me to play most any game at 1440 with most of the eye candy on without worrying about my minimum frames dropping below 60fps. That’s something my old (Pascal) Titan X couldn’t come close to doing. No way could I ever go back, the difference is night and day. That being said...
Maybe if you don’t want all the eye candy. I barely average 100fps with a 8700k at 5ghz and 2080ti @2000mhz at 2160 x 1440 with all (most) of the eye candy on.
Yep, motherboard and CPU like Tsumi said. I have a Phanteks Evolv ATX which has somewhat stagnant airflow (even with six 120mm Varder's in push/pull for intake), so I figured the extra cooling on the VRM couldn't hurt.
I also picked up some Fujipoly thermal pads and some more Thermal Grizzly...
The new GPU base and coolant came in a few days ago from EK.
But more importantly the new monoblock from Bitspower came in. Bye bye EK Supremacy MX. :)
Yea, they shipped me a new nickel plated base to swap in and a bottle of coolant. :)
EK’s customer service has always done right by me for the most part, it’s just the amount of issues I’ve had with new parts from them. I’ve dealt with EK’s RMA department 3 or 4 times in the last decade. The...
EKWB actually warns people specifically not to use distilled water and a biocide (epecially silver) in their waterblocks with a nickel coating. In fact, they've gone as far as to say they will not replace waterblocks with nickel plating failure if distilled water was used in the loop because...
I did some further inspecting and there’s a lot more corrosion. It’s literally all along the rubber gasket that goes around the perimeter of the heat exchange/water chamber (whatever that’s called). It seems like maybe the nickel plating didn’t take too well along the CNC’ed channel or...
Thanks, I’ll check them out. I’ve heard good things in passing about AlphaCool, and I actually have a little experience with XSPC, although it’s been about a decade.
Nope. I flushed the coolant from the Predator 360 with distilled water several times, and then flushed the entire system with...
I think I’m calling it quits on EK.
First my Predator 360 leaks. Then the vortex sponge on my new Predator 360 disintegrated and clogged up my GPU and CPU jet plates. Then they sent me a pre-filled 2080ti Phoenix block with no coolant in it. Now the nickel plating on a three month old block...
WTF, the specs on this thing is insane. Depending on the exclusives and 4k bluray support, this or the new Playstation will probably be my first console purchase (for myself) since the original Playstation.
Psh, I don't know about that... I can't even get 120fps (or 100fps for that matter) at...
I'll get some pictures up soon. I'm slowly going through the process of swapping out a EKWB Predator 360 with the 360 fat rad, res/pump combo so everything is a mess. I've got the front panel/filter, side doors off and my desk is scattered with parts at the moment, lol.
Now that you say...
I got hit with the upgrade bug but I'm at the point of diminishing returns and figured I'd see if you guys had any ideas of what to upgrade for the best returns.
For some reference, the PC is used lightly about 6 hours a day (simple Excel spreadsheets, Netflix, bills, light photo editing) and...
Costco has a Flex 14 Lenovo with a third generation Ryzen 7 3700U, 12gb or ram, and a 512gb sssd for $550. I thought that was a pretty solid deal on a 2-1 laptop with a little oomph.
The LG 32"/144hz, Freesync, 1440 monitor for $250 from Costco is going to be a VA, just something to keep in mind.
The LG 27"/144hz, G Sync, 1080 monitor for $180 from Costco is an IPS.
I'll take one of the Xbox PC games passes and the Call of Duty... Assuming the Call of Duty can be activated with an RTX 2080Ti was purchased more than a year ago.

Hello HardForum,
Hope you're doing well today!
Up for sale today is a lightly used Intel Core I5-7500 with heatsink. This was used in an HTPC for about two years before I upgraded it to an 8600k (overkill much?). Since then...
75W allows the card to be powered by the PCI-E slot alone, making it useful for people with cheap pre-built computers that didn't come equipped with a GPU or the PSU wires to support one... Or in my case, it allows you to pull out one more wire out of the SFX system in the living room. M.2 got...
I'm certainly trying my best.
Core and memory overclocked to the limit and marathon sessions of graphically intensive games with the frame cap turned off. If it's going to go out, I want it to happen BEFORE I slap a waterblock on it.
So far it's holding strong and I don't expect that to...
Alright, that's a bit better. At least they're only really marketing it as a prosumer card. It's a bit confusing why we're seeing it in the hands of influencers though (not that they couldn't put them to use). It seems like they are typically only sent gaming GPUs.
Hahahahahaha!
A lot of us purchased a 2080Ti at exorbitant price under the (obviously mistaken) assumption that their wouldn't be a Titan this go around as Nvidia has been stating that Titans were meant as prosumer cards. Now we're seeing the RTX Titan in the hands of influencers and gaming...
Exactly. My 2080 Ti has been running just fine so far... But if it's going to fail, I hope it happens soon. Spending $1,300 on a GPU only to see it fail a few months after the three year warranty would be pretty rough. On the other hand, I can't remember the last time I stuck with the same...
