So... yeah...
I decided to get started on blogging here... Not sure if it's just the effect of boredom or caffeine overdose...
Stay tuned for more posts...
and while we're here...
I might be feeling the downsides of AMD with Watch_Dogs... Can't get it to go consistent 45fps at 720p high (HBAO, Temporal SMAA)...
It might just be the crappy code since I can run most modern games at 45-75fps at similar settings...
So i was wondering about the recommended radiator size, thickness, and number of radiators for a set up that would cool a motherboard, ram, and a 4-way SLI/Crossfire setup.
Also if its not too much trouble, recommend best reservoirs, pumps, fans and/or best reservoir/pump combo, and would like multiple peoples opinions for anyone who doesn't mind going through the trouble.
Well, simply put, the new year is off to a rather unhappy start.
As some of you (or all of you) might know, the great Flight1sim, commonly known as Flighty, has just left the forum. It started off with this message in a PM after he removed his avatar:
After that, his entire profile went barebones, and now it looks like the profile of a giveaway account that spammed up LTT.
His sudden and unprecedented departure, put simply, has shocked me. Just a few hours before he was all jolly because I
So tonight I decided to start overclocking my G1 970s, previously I couldn't get my bottom card to go above 1500 mhz, but I've turned the fans all to 100% and forced constant voltage, and that seemed to help with stability.
I'll be posting a few pictures + settings from what I did, and showing the progress as I go.

MORE TO COME SOON!
Hey there my real name is Thomas, I put my real name because I have to prove to my teacher that I did not copy and paste this from the internet. Now to business, as the title entails this is about what inspires me. I can honestly say that the Linus Sebastian inspires me. I distinctively remember when a friend of mine told me the wonders of PC master race, hearing the wonderful deeds of Lord Gaben I decided to do some research on Pc's. I went on YouTube to search up how to build a pc and the vide

UPDATE
I got the T8 in the mail today, so what better use of the day than start dismantling the case :D
Well, it didnt go smooth, firstly, the screws are damn tight, and hella loads of them... then they are obscured by stuff. in the end i had to prematurely pull out (heh) the midplate to gain access to the upper section, which ill do tomorrow morning.
And alas, the pictures :D
The little bugger we were all waiting for
You can see the screws missing on the bottom side, as well as no midp
This will be my first build so can anyone more knowledgeable tell me what I can expect gaming at 1080p with game examples and i will gladly accept advice on components. Thank you :)

Let's think about it: The GTX 970 and 980 Perform almost THE EXACT SAME! And the fact that you will be able to run most games at 4K with high details with 2 970s, which is only $100 more than a 980! And a single 980 will play SOME games at 4k on low-medium settings. Or, look around on amazon or ebay and you'll find an older card for less than a single 970! Or 2! I'm not saying that these cards are bad, and hell, I dont even have a GTX 760! But are 970s and 980s worth it? Tell me what you think.
So I have the "G.Skill Ripjaws-X Memory Memory 16GB (1600MHz, 240-pin, 2x 8GB, CL10) DIMM DDR3 Memory Kit" and I have recently noticed that the current motherboard I have only takes 8GB ram max (I am getting a new motherboard for xmas which will take the ram) and I have had the 16GB ram installed for about 2 years now, I am guessing that at the moment I can only use 8GB of that 16GB installed, could me doing this have damaged the ram or is it still going to be fine? could this damage the ram or
Gotta small laptop problem.
About a week ago, my Lenovo laptop's hard drive started making loud clicking sounds, as the week progressed, the laptop got slower and slower. Wednesday, I got 2 bsods that quickly recovered. Since then, I've been unable to finish updating a game because of a disk write error.
I've tried everything, restarting, hard power offs, even defragged my entire Hard Drive.
Guess what came in the mail today.
Oh yea, the case!
Corsair Graphite Series 780T
Full review by Linus:
Opening up the box, first I see manuals and styrofoam on the front and back side of the case, and the actual case in a black cloth bag.
Holy dang this thing is huge :D Moving from an midtower to a full tower is quite a step :D
Looks super awesome!
While eyeballing the case inside and out I noticed some things that I wanted to mention.
Hard Drive cages
A bit shocked here.

Yea so as the title clearly states it, I've bought some new parts! \o/
Yesterday, on Sunday evening here, I ordered my case, which is the Corsair Graphite Series 780T Black/Red , it should arrive within the week.
And today, I bought my PSU which is the Cooler Master Vanguard V700
Bit of an overkill on the PSU at the moment, as my estimated wattage on the parts I've chosen are under 400W but you never know if I wanna go for couple of more GPUs f.e. ;)
Also I bought some case fans! Got a coup
Hi guys I'm sure you've seen this a lot already but I was looking to get some insight on whether or not I should buy an Intel i7 4790k or AMD FX 8370. Here's what I do, I am a film student as well as an editor for a company, I like to game with my friends, and being a college student we have lots of work so these are my big 3 things I will be doing with my PC. I currently have everything I will need besides my mobo and processor (of course). Many thanks to all for the feedback and help! Hope you
