Are you monitoring temps?

My take is Microsoft will be off the hook on this one until someone hears about NSA accessing these records or hackers gaining access.

It's pretty much a downclocked Fury X on a really small PCB. I wonder what board partners can do with this... Custom PCB (with extra power) and custom coolers should make this into an overclockers dream/reality. Oh and AMD has a chance to redeem themselves with pricing, which should make custom versions of this card amazing. I'm guessing $499-599 for pricing, if it's anwhere between $450-550 for the custom cards I've been talking about, AMD has won...

Newegg has a deal running with visa checkout where you can get $25 off $200+ or $10 off $100+. That means that you can get the the 6600k for $224.99 and the MSI Z170A Krait for $139.99 or a combined $364.98. You'd have to make two accounts for the code to work a second time. Just add "+2" to your gmail account name during a newegg account setup for a fast second email (grey area with code's terms and restrictions) or use a family-member/roommate's email (perfectly legal).

I'm pretty sure the non-core comes with a USB DAC/AMP dongle. Because most motherboard's DAC/AMPs are very clear and normal, I don't really think the extra features are worth it. The dongle enables simulated 7.1 suround, but that isn't even needed as you can do the same through software without the dongle. Just so you know, there are OEM versions of the Cloud, that don't have a microphone or the extra goodies that cost ~$15-25 cheaper.

Have you tried an open sourced version of AMD drivers?

I'm an AMD fan and just bought a Fury. Although, I'm going to buy a 6700k... I probably won't switch back to AMD unless Zen rocks socks or Zen+ comes out.

Is it plugged in? Have you tried to clear the CMOS? Double check that all the connections within the PC are secure, mainly the 24 pin motherboard power cable.

wow 1.888v

This should be helpful, if you haven't seen it yet

Consider the 240M. It's ~$20-30 more, but performs very well (although slightly loud if you use stock fans, which you would for savings)

What type of LLC do you have set? I would monitor the voltage during load to see if it's spiking. Have you tried reinstalling the software and updating to the latest firmware? From what I've seen around the internet, the H80i can take a 3770k at 1.3v to ~80c. What are your room's ambient temperature? If it is 30C+, then the H80i is probably doing the best it can. And those temps are normal.

Well, make sure the fan and pump are powered. Also try using a pea sized amount of thermal compound Otherwise, you'd have to RMA it, because the pump is probably bad

I wonder if sites like linustechtips.com can calculate the number of ads displayed for a specific user. They could, then, grant the top 50% a badge, then top 25% another bage, and finally the top 10% of ads loaded another badge. This would entice many people to disable ad block. There could be abuse, but they'd profit anyways. As to someone who drops below the badge requirement, you could give them the option to diaply a "past top 10% user" badge and the likes

I use the default Dance or Party EQ, then I manually lessen the effects but keep the proportions

you have to take care with aluminum in a loop that has copper parts. i hear corrosion is really bad

I also got this laptop It's really nice.

$200. Then, yeah, no... The 970 Gaming is also 6+2. The GD65 has really poor quality 8+2 VRM (which is why they limit the voltage to 1.44v and don't have LLC, that means you get like 1.37v max voltage during load).

The build looks fine. Although, I would have personally dropped 8GB of memory and knocked that GPU up one tier (960 or AMD 380, more so the 380). Also, I would grab a 256GB M.2 SSD and only 2TB of normal hard drive space (seems to be the most cost effective). If a Windows 10 key is the same price or cheaper, I'd pick that up too. I suppose if you want lots of cached video for editing, 16GB would be nice, but a better video card should go along way as well. Now obviously you've purchased everything, and it looks like a great build. I'd take pictures of the parts in good lighting. You can take pictures with the parts in the boxes, out of the boxes, and fully assembled (Or any combination, but try to at the very least fully assembled). You should try to get a mild overclock in. OC3D used that very same motherboard and basically pushed the 6700k to the limits. While your cooler isn't ice cold, you should be able to get a couple hundred MHz.

I'd suggest grabbing the Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 My experience with MSI is pretty poor. They lock the 8350s voltage and don't provide LLC (load line calibration). I'd pick up the 970 Gaming if you want an answer to your question. It probably has been tested much more with the 8XXX or 9XXX parts.

I would only get a 6300 for that board.

$200 for the 240mm. Hmm. Sounds pretty competitive.

I updated my post. They need more control testing to have a better understanding of what is contributing to people choosing Nvidia (especially when they would choose Nvidia @ High settings vs AMD @ Ultra settings).

Here is summary of the objections to this test: 30-144Hz vs 35-90Hz. No mention of color calibration. Maybe Acer calibrates the monitors better than Asus. At the very most, Acer calibrates the monitors in such a way to make it look different and more vibrant, causing people to chose that monitor regardless of "flowing" image quality. You should be changing your visual settings to place the frame rate in the middle of the supported frequencies. Basically they aren't testing GSync vs FreeSync as a whole, you are testing specific cases to see how GSync handles out-of-spec framerates vs FreeSync. As I've already mentioned in point number 1, time spent out-of-spec is extremely different. So, while it is important how the various technologies handle these somewhat inevitable situations, the results naturally are weighted towards the Acer montior. Note how Crysis and The Witcher are running at 40 FPS average and Borderlands is running at 140 FPS average. Battlefield 4 is basically the only test that is left. They might have issues with a placebo effect. "Even when a respondent picked one technology over the other, it was mentioned that they were quite similar and free from tearing," then why didn't they pick "they were equal quality." "Nobody reported lower visual quality," lol, this is starting to look like a joke. For all I care, they chose the monitors that were taller every time. In general, this article left out a lot of data. For instance, I want to know how many people who chose FreeSync would have payed for for the experience. They only showed how many GSync prefer'ers would be willing to pay more, leading the reader to favor GSync more.
