  1. Haha I just play Cities Skylines...that game pretty much likes single thread performance and hasn't been optimized for higher core usage. Game just uses a lot of RAM and GPU performance doesn't matter much. It's very dependent on the game and scenarios you play.
  2. PS5, PS3, Xbox 360, Genesis Had a PS4 Pro that I rarely used, wasn't looking to get a PS5 but Sony kept sending me invites to buy a PS5 multiple times. Still rarely use my PS5 haha
  3. Soon to be widening towards London! Jokes aside, it is pretty the main key between Midwestern US to Central Canada, I do respect MTO for keeping it in decent shape for the sheer volume that goes through the 401. Same can't be said for Gardiner since that's always been falling apart.
  4. Would be nice to see progress on the Massey Tunnel sometime soon, stalled progress when talks ever happened..At least the replacement project is line now.
  5. I use a tempered glass screen protector for my Galaxy Tab S7+, I just needed to redo the fingerprint scanner setup after applying and worked fine after that. Can't say the same about the Note 10 as the Tab S7+ has a better/newer sensor. Hope this helps.
  6. It might be that you have an updated BIOS that blocked voltage access due to the Plundervolt issue, so if that was the case then TS wouldn't allow for undervolting due to the blocked voltage control. Depending on your laptop, there might be ways to remove this as there are people who sucessfully removed this block even with the updated BIOS/microcode.
  7. I have the same motherboard as you with a 7700K with XMP default settings and around 7 drives, bootup time usually takes that long for me. I gave up trying to improve boot times as this board does take a while to bootup. Hope this helps.
  8. There's currently a Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti triple fan going for $530 + shipping, gonna assume that's mined since the seller still has 4 cards left. With the new series coming out, 1080 Ti's would probably drop to around the $400 range, depending on the pricing and performance on the newer cards. I wouldn't spend more than $570 currently for a 1080 Ti anyway, maybe $600-650 if it was 1080 Ti Kingpin but really they should be around $500-550 range used atm.
  9. Who knows, maybe this thread shouldn't get nerco that long.
  10. I'd say that's fair pricing, I saw the 9343 1800P touch model from a computer store for $500 local.
  11. What model is it, if it's the 9370 then yes it's sketchy. But if it's the 9350 or perhaps the 9343 then it sounds fair. When you mean 4k touch, is it actually 2160P touch or 1800P touch.
  12. Still not worth to get X58, just get a more modern system.
  13. It'll probably be better just to get a 4770K/4790K instead, would perform similar to a overclocked X5650 at around 4-4.4GHZ. You wouldn't have to deal with the high power draw, additional cpu cooling costs, and the problems you'll encounter overclocking X58.
  14. Westmeme isn't worth it, considering you're buying into a obsolete platform that's basically on legacy support. To be remotely decent, you have to overclock it and that requires a lot of cooling. Finding a decent X58 board will cost loads, you'll have to spend a decent amount of money for a good cooling setup, not to mention finding DDR3 ram that will work well. Overclocked X5650 is going to draw a bunch of power, it's guaranteed to draw at least 200W from the CPU alone with overclocked. Here's a general idea of prices X5650: 20-30 X58 Board: 120-200 DDR3: 40-50 Cooling: 50-60 You could just go with what I did, go with used Sandy Bridge. It only costed me $160 for a 2600K, Z68 motherboard, 16GB DDR3. 1155 is a more modern, stable, feature set platform than X58.
  15. Got rid of my Core 2 setup and went with Sandy Bridge Managed to get 5GHZ air, but been running 4.8 @ 1.4V daily
