    So who else ordered a Ryzen 5000 series CPU?

    I walked into my local Canada Computers when they opened today at 10am and picked up a 5600X. They only had 2 left. when I checked at 9:30am, they had listed 5+ at each location, for the 5600X, 5800X and 5900X. As of now, all gone. No listings on Amazon.ca for 5000 series yet.

    noblechairs Hero Gaming Chair Build & First Impressions @ [H]

    This chair looks like a winner. The suede side strips are becoming more popular in cars. At my work, the Maxima, the nismo Juke and a few other models use it. Looks nice when new, but doesn't look nice that long. Good thing it's just used for accent/contrast instead of full seating surfaces...

    Enermax EQUILENCE ATX Case Review @ [H]

    All the pictures in this review were soft, out of focus even. Might be time for Zach to invest in a better phone. I'd like a pic of the rear of the case, so I can see everything back there. Other than that, I liked the review.

    Woman Says Samsung Phone Caught Fire While She Drove, Destroying Her Car

    Umm, I've been working as a technician at a Nissan store for 10 years and haven't seen or heard of (in Nissan school with other dealers) one incident of a thermal event due to any faulty wiring. I can attest that Nissan's wiring harness and circuit protection is on par with other Japanese makes...

    As a new owner of a Noctua NHU-14S I can quietly sit back and enjoy my purchase. I was on the fence about the Dark Rock. Thanks for the review!

    Arozzi Vernazza Gaming Chair Review @ [H]

    You don't have to get higher end chairs like the Steelcase new. There are a ton of office furniture stores selling them in all conditions, with good pricing. Lots of businesses put these higher end chairs in their offices, then go bust and liquidate their stuff to these stores. You can save...

    Arozzi Vernazza Gaming Chair Review @ [H]

    And some moterboards :( Looks like I'll stick to using my 10 year old Steelcase Leap. I also have a 5 year old Aeron that would kick the crap out of any "gaming" chair, any day.

    ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero Ryzen Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I filled out the bug report with a problem I was having on the C6H where the RGB lighting would stay on in S3, even after setting it in the BIOS. An engineer contacted me and gave me the fix. It worked too. I like that there is an Asus employee working in some of the forums that has personally...

    ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero Ryzen Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I have to say I was more than concerned after reading this review. I was sitting on some parts for a build including the ch6 for almost a month. I built everything on a test bench last week to check it out. My build included an r7 1700, 2 x8gb Corsair lpx 3200, and a 960 evo m. 2. At first...

    some problems with crosshair hero VI (1002)

    I'm still using my P8Z68v- gen 3 but for the life of me I seem to remember that there was some kind of a shit storm with these mobo's and we had to send them all back to get gen 3. A search on Google does not net me any info about the original gen, or a gen 2. Could this be what's going to...

    Wasabi Mango UHD400 40" 4k Display

    I was so many gens behind I was looking for a 980ti in May, but the prices were very high still. After getting this monitor and seeing how it was crippling my 7970, I had to scale down for some of my games. It bothered me enough to become more active in looking for a replacement VC. When the...

    Wasabi Mango UHD400 40" 4k Display

    Thanks for your review and hard work WaveZero. I've adjusted my settings and so far I like what I see. So far I'm really liking this monitor. Having a 1080 to drive it really helps. So far, it kills every game I have a max settings and gives me the visual quality this display was meant to have.

    ASUS GPU TWEAK II is plagued with bugs

    Just uninstalled GPU tweak2. Fans still go idle at desktop. Also, Aura still works with changing colors etc. I'll check out afterburner and see if after installing it, the fans still go to idle mode.

    Evga GTX 1080 Classified. Is the performance boost worth losing the looks of the Founders Edition?

    I've got a friend who just received his FTW. His boost was 2113Mhz. Not too shabby. Wonder if the Classified will be faster still. I'm getting 2063Mhz in oc mode during heaven with my Strix 1080.

    Wasabi Mango UHD400 40" 4k Display

    I have a Strix 1080. The only weird issue I have is my desktop icons moving over to my primary monitor(the Mango) from my secondary monitor when I wake from sleep. It's not every time but it does happen. I'm using a 6 foot DP cable for the Mango, and DVI-D for my other mon. Is it true that over...

    Video Card Vendor Ranking 2016

    Gigabyte 7970 since new. Middle fan is noisey at times though. Ordered an Asus 1080 this time around. Hate EVGA. Special ordered a pair of 7900 Signature series cards. They came with a special box, and signed sheet from some VP of Sales, IT director, and lab manager bla bla. I was so proud, and...

    ASUS ROG GTX 1080 STRIX GAMING Video Card Review @ [H]

    Great review. With some titles it seems this card is overkill at 1440p. I would have liked to see the 4K numbers as I own a 4k monitor. Where was Doom, even at 1440p? I guess I'll find out soon enough when my strix 1080 comes in, hopefully any day now.

    Wasabi Mango Zen U400

    Hey, I've just had two people use my UDH400 for some gaming and they never noticed any lag whatsoever. As I recall, only one guy noticed lag and he was running at 30Hz or some other problem. So far, the UHD400 has been stellar.

    Wasabi Mango UHD400 40" 4k Display

    No difference turning response time on or off when playing Modern Warfare. Somehow fraps reported 91FPS in the Bog map.. And it really felt like 91 fps! I could not use the included DP cable, as my 7970 has mini dp out. I tried the hdmi cable, but suffered through 30Hz for all of 15 minutes...

    Wasabi Mango UHD400 40" 4k Display

    If you open notepad and you are typing away and seeing lag in the words as you type, something is wrong with your setup that no one else has seen in this unit. I went deeper in the menu and saw a setting called "response time". I just turned it on, it was off previously. On the desktop it's...

    PC menu is greyed out on mine too. What does your summary on the main input show for display size, input and HZ? I can't believe you are looking at 60hz here, no way. as I type this at 50-60 words/minute, I can't see any lag at all. Just finished playing UT3 for 20 minutes, smooth as responsive...

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    Your phone bent because Apple never properly tested them. The only way to safely pocket the 6+ is to use a side pocket of a cargo pant/short. As for the monitor, it's a lot of dough for most people. More than most of our other PC components. I wouldn't be ok accepting some random visual...

    Wasabi Mango UHD400 40" 4k Display

    I don't notice any lag whatsoever. My history of monitors has been 60Hz models, Dell 2407WFP, a few viewsonic TN panels, so maybe I'm not the best judge of it. re: scaling to lower resolutions, it's just like zooming in on the same scene. I have scaled down to 1440p, and 1080p in Fallout 4. No...

    Wasabi Mango UHD400 40" 4k Display

    I think if you want a TV you should look at the Visio D40u-D1. For the money it's a good choice according to Rtings. I looked at Tv's, and I was going to get a Samsuing UN40JU7500 but it was around $1300 USD. I was just under $1000 Canadian after tax and delivery for the Mango.

    Wasabi Mango UHD400 40" 4k Display

    Wouldn't we need to have two UHD400's side by side to see that? I know you have the same settings on each one, right? What about the drone video at the end? What's wrong with that? Can we see it on both of them to compare?
