    gadgetguy99 reacted to ace_cheaply in Asus Gtx 1070 turbo   
    It's a reference pcb, so yeah, you can water cool it. The 1070 is not a really hot card, it should perform almost identical to the founders edition cooler, it's just plastic instead of metal.  The 1070 fe cooler doesn't have a vapor chamber like the 1080, it's just a regular blower.

    I have a radeon hd 6670. I want a new card so that I can play newer games and use a 16:9 monitor instead of my 1366x768 one that I have now

    gadgetguy99 reacted to LinusTech in @LinusTech Twitter Account Hacked   
    On June 28, 2016 the Linus Media Group domain registrar account was compromised.
     
    The exact methodology of the "hack" won't be disclosed for obvious reasons, but I can assure you that despite any claims to the contrary, the appropriate safeguards were in place on our side, and as I type this Yvonne is having a very heated phone discussion with the 3rd party responsible for the breach.
     
    Anyway, the thing most of you are probably wondering about right now is what this means for your forum account or personal information, and the answer is very simple:
     
    NOTHING.
     
    The "hacker" simply changed the DNS settings in the dashboard and did not at any time have access to the linustechtips.com server. Any claims of a database dump are categorically false.
     
    The compromised accounts - including Twitter - have been restored.
     
    I hope this clears things up.

    lots of marketing, thats where most of your money goes
    the rest goes into cheap build materials on most of their stuff
    the k70 is definitely better than the chroma, this has been already discussed previously

    gadgetguy99 reacted to OrangeClockwerk in [Cyprus 29] CM Stacker : Update 18: Custom Fan Enclosures   
    Hey there Everyone! This is my first build on these forums! Well I have been busy lately! Finished up Grey Matter, started my Fractal Design build, and also started a 4x2CNC build. I took the case feet from my fractal build and moved them to this project because I have a good idea for them. I want to thank the companies so far supporting this build, I appreciate it!       About this project:   Again I was looking into color schemes that are not often worked with, I wanted to do something unique and creative like Grey Matter, so I decided to use a ROG theme!:thumb: Haha just playing!:duh: I decided on a glossy brushed copper and white theme, I am calling it Cyprus 29. I came up with the name because the first copper mines in the world were located on the island of Cyprus and 29 is the atomic number on the periodic table for copper. I have some copper sheet, white paint and acrylic, brushed copper vinyl wrap. I will be using white Primochill revolvers with 1/2" copper tubing and white pastel liquid. Its going to be an interesting theme and a lot of fun to do!   Don't forget to look here for quick links to my updates!  [x] Update 1 : March 10th : Painting and panel work. Theme is visible! [x] Update 2 : March 24th : The structure stands. More paint and coppers! [x] Update 3 : April 9th : Solidified the Structure, interior panel work! [x] Update 4 : April 22nd : Top pedestal, Fiberglass work! [x] Update 5 : May 5th : Gusset, Shroud, and Sponsors! [x] Update 6 : May 27th : Parts came in! Custom LED trim! [x] Update 7 : June 9th : Started custom waterfall reservoirs! [x] Update 8 : June 24th : Custom reservoir trim! PETG installed! [x] Update 9 : July 10th : Z97, PSU mod, Swiftech sponsoring build! [x] Update 10: July 28th : Copper Painted watercooling! CNC time! [x] Update 11 : Aug. 19th : Painting, SSD panel, and Video! [x] Update 12 : Sept. 7th : Finished SSD's, new rear panel, pump enclosure! [x] Update 13 : Oct 5th : Grey Matter tear down, GPU, top panel. [x] Update 14 : Dec 7th : Doors, Top, Bezel! [x] Update 15 : March 1st : Rear Panel, MB and RAM
    [x] Update 16 : Nov 11th : Finally an update! Its almost done!   Here will be the compiled list of components:   <> PC Components: [x] Case : Cooler Master HAF 935 [x] PSU : Cooler Master V750w Semi-modular Gold Plus [x] CPU: Intel [x] MoBo: Asus z97 Sabertooth [x] RAM:  [x] GPU: 2x Evga 780 GTX [x] SSD: 2x Corsair Force LX 256Gb - Raid 0 [x] Optical:    <> Water Cooling System: [x] 2x Handmade acrylic waterfall reservoirs [x] Primochill 1/2"OD PETG Tubing [x] 15x Primochill Nickel Plated Bulkhead [x] 50x Primochill Revolver Fittings - Straight Knurl [x] Primochill Intensifier Sicle Colors [x] Swiftech Apogee XL - Clear - CPU Block [x] 2x Swiftech Komodo-NV GPU Block [x] Swiftech 240mm Radiator [x] Swiftech 360mm Radiator [x] Swiftech PWM MCP35x2 Pump - With Heatsink   <> Mod Parts: [x] 1/8" white acrylic sheet [x] 1/8" clear acrylic sheet [x] 3/8" aluminum clockwerk case cubes [x] 3mm white LED [x] Mod/Smart white MaxCord paracord [x] 2x Mod/Smart 20 light LED board   Parts bought from MNPCtech.com   M3 PC Radiator screws.   PC Modders Mesh Sheets.     Rubber U-channel panel edge and window trim.      Alright. With all that out of the way, lets take a look at this beast of a case. First thing I did was get it out of the box and tear some of it down to start planning the component orientation. Thanks again to Cooler Master North America for the case!                In case you missed them on the Black Frost Fractal build, here are the beast mode case feet from Casefeet.com. I am going to make copper rings for them.         One gripe I found about the case is these glued in filters, they are a pain when it comes to modding. So I proceeded to razor them all out.        For the component orientation I decided on, I will be using the small case on the bottom as a pedestal. and I also flipped the case so the back door is now the front window so I can flip the motherboard 270°.         I did a little prep work and painted the mesh. I painted it a bright white and the plastic panels will be painted with polished copper. Ill have some of that next update. First I scuffed the mesh then washed it off. Let it dry then tack cloth it. Then I sprayed paint adhesive then the paint follow by clear coat. I am using acrylic lacquer paint now as opposed to acrylic enamel in the past.                 Well that is what I have for now. I should have an update at least once a week, I try for every Monday. I hope you enjoyed it and are excited as I am!:r Talk! to you all very soon!

    Well now that windows 10 is going to be forced upon windows users i decided its time to switch to linux. I want to be able to use autocad on linux, I already know that blender will work but i have to use autocad for school. All the games that i play work on linux so i know that they will work. the system im putting it on will be running a xeon 1230 V3 and a radeon r9 270(possibly a 980 in the future). I have already used ubuntu before and wasnt a big fan. Iv been thinking rasbian or mint any sugestions are apreciated.
