    FS: XFX RX Vega 64 Limited Edition & MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X

    XFX RX Vega 64 Limited Edition. It's the blower cooler with the silver shroud and red Radeon LED. Very sharp looking card. Never used for mining, only gaming and every day activities. Does come in original box but it's torn in a spot. I don't know whether to consider this a refurb but I did...

    First time custom loop builder

    Recently I bought a 2nd hand R9 295x2 that came with a Koolance block and also the stock cooler. I don't have a custom loop but since the seller was including the stock cooler I pulled the trigger. Well, the Asetek AIO leaks so obviously the card isn't running right and it's forcing my hand to...

    GPU problem or something else?

    Over the last two weeks my main gpu (Asus R9 290x DC2 OC) has been getting to 94c in roughly 15 minutes while gaming. Usually at least once while playing a game in 1hr or less any game will minimize. No matter how aggressive a fan profile I put the card always reaches 94c. Happened on the newest...

    Intel to AMD, or not...: NO FAN BOYS ALLOWED!!

    Ok so my title is to grab some attention (I hope). A little backstory first. I started pc gaming in September of 2013. I started on an Intel 3570k with an AMD 7950. Fast forward and since I've moved (processor wise) to an Intel 4690k (OC to 4.5GHz stable using a Corsair H60 on stock voltage) and...

I'm not a hardcore overclocker...

    What should I do?

    So I'm having second thoughts about the 7990. It has played anything I throw at it at 1440p maxed out without issue. But man is it LOUD! It's hot too, but that's expected. As of right this minute the only replacement for the card would be either a Gtx 970 or a R9 290(x). The former pisses me off...

    3570k vs 4670k vs 4690k

    Is there any clear reason why you would buy one over the other besides being able to upgrade down the road? Reason I have the 3570k in the discussion is because I already own it.

    Corsair H60

    I purchased a Corsair H60 awhile back for my I5-3570k. I'm concerned if it's faulty or if the temps are normal. Idle hovers around 34c.
