    ACoffeeGuy got a reaction from Saltylinus in beats uncomfortable as shit   
    Side note, the way Beats are designed as far as audio goes is absolutely terrible for your ears. The big boost on the low frequencies can do some serious damage to your ears.

    The ones I am playing are on my SSDs the others are on mechanical drives.
     
    Steam supports multiple drives and the saves are always stored in the same spot so there is nothing to worry about.
     
    Simple migrate the unused games over assuming you have space for them elsewhere.

    Ohhh I didn't see that it's FreeSync. I knew it was too good to be true lol I'm running dual 980s so it probly won't do me much good. Any thoughts on a different option?

    It's supposedly releasing in the US at the same price as the PG278Q, $800.
    The BenQ XL2730Z is a FreeSync monitor and the other two are G-SYNC, just in case you didn't realize. The BenQ won't be as compelling an option unless you don't have your graphics card yet.

    This actually might be a good concept for the future of minimising the heat build up in some laptops. Maybe using those heatpipes, with coolant flowing through them, could help. It's a good idea Manikyath. Thanks.

    I'm actually pretty surprised nobody has done this yet! I think that would be incredible. I think the only downside would be the maintenance, which probably is not a huge thing for someone looking to buy a laptop. Still, a sweet awesome idea!

    Water cooling becomes less practical with every product generation but my understanding is that the biz is actually growing for the manufacturers so all bets are off.

    Courtesy of a lot of desktop water cooling enthusiasts, a lot has been learned over the years and we've come a very long way and water cooling has become a lot easier to implement -- once you get around the planning and expense. In practicality there's not really much left for water cooling to grow with regard to the desktops. There's a wide array of blocks, radiators and fittings. Radiator friendly cases are fairly widespread.
     
    So for water cooling to keep growing, I think it's going to head to the server room.
     
    Currently there's not much happening in server rooms for water cooling. It's still mostly air cooled. And in very active server rooms, it can be loud at times. And those rooms typically need to be air conditioned. Heavily air conditioned. Even in winter. So I see water cooling going that direction, with more rack-mountable options becoming available and thin form-factor blocks and parts coming more to the market with server rooms migrating into water cooling servers and server hard drives. This could lead to greater longevity of components and lower energy costs as they'd probably be able to keep those servers a lot cooler with a lot less energy -- think something along the lines of what Linus was doing with this whole-room system, only in a rack-mount kind of thing.

    DO NOT use prime 95 if you have a haswell based cpu prime95 doesn't play well with those use Aida64 instead. also post specs so others can see what awesomeness you are squandering messing about on forums instead of gaming!
