  1. Fellow shitty Ikea table user here, I wouldn't try it. Currently have a hole in mine because I set my PC down a little too hard and one of the feet went through the desk
  2. So I guess you could say, you're looking for a squad
  3. Literally you just use rubbing alcohol. You can buy a giant bottle of 99% isopropyl rubbing alcohol literally anywhere for like $4.99. I think you're really overthinking it, you aren't drinking your CPU. Rubbing alcohol != Jack Daniels
  4. I can't speak for that arm, but if my $10 Newer arm can be tightened to hold the Yeti I'm sure it is fixed. As for the adapter, I can't see your picture (school proxy) but I'm assuming you mean the threads? They make plastic thread adapters for the Yeti so it fits other stuff.
  5. The falling down issue is because the Yeti weighs like 9000 fucking tonnes, the hole size issue can be fixed with an adapter. Source : Yeti owner and Yeti-hating enthusiast
  6. I don't think moving it over will work, if they have an 860 then it's likely a laptop type motherboard using a mobile CPU and RAM which will both be soldered to the motherboard or not fit a standard desktop motherboard. The hard drive should work though. CPU might work, depends on if it's in a standard desktop CPU mount or not.
  7. S340 user here, I've never had any problems with cooling, and I only use the stock fans. The only time I had even close to too much heat is when I had 2x R9 270s in Crossfire Current 6600k @ 4.2GHz only gets to about 70c with a Hyper 212 EVO
  8. I had a 2500 with my 980 for a few weeks, only noticed a slight improvement with my 6600k honestly So yes, it's still a very capable CPU
  9. Built my PC into the drywall of my house. Thermals are trash and I burned down my last house, but it's quiet

    TDP? Wtf

    Well shit, looks like I'm fake news now :^(
  11. Delete UPlay and reinstall Siege. When you install a Ubisoft game from Steam it's supposed to auto install UPlay for you. All you should need to do is log in and Steam should do the rest for you Games that I have that have done this : Far Cry 3, The Division, Siege

    TDP? Wtf

    A die on a CPU is a wafer thing that has circuits which make your computer do shit

    [Deleted] Turns out I'm retarded
  14. If this turns out well I'd buy one, but here's a few suggestions : - More cable management holes, like another below mobo next to other hole (for audio and usb on some mobos) - Cable management holes above mobo for fan and cpu cables - Cable management above basement like on S340 for GPU cables - A small strip around the edge of the case to hide LEDs and help case integrity - Shorten the front or add water cooling support area (reservoir/pump mounts)
  15. Search it on the Chrome store, it's called MyQuality or something. I used to use it when I had shit internet to load videos at 360p
  16. Pull up on your local Craigslist or whatever it is they have in Canadia land, do your research, and put together a rig using used parts. If you build new you're literally just throwing away money
  17. Toss your parts into PCPartPicker, it should show system power output. As long as this number isn't like, actually 360, you should be good. It's a SeaSonic unit, so it probably won't blow up soon Looks like you don't push your system too often so you should be fine No.
  18. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure YouTube already does this, although it's 480p -> 720p. There's an extension to autoset quality, but I'm not sure what it's called
  19. That's the point, the APU can handle quite a few games Didn't know if the budget was set so I threw something together in 3 minutes while I was in class that fit the budget
  20. I bought one for $200, my friend did, and I've watched several move for that price PC Hardware is crazy at the moment
  21. Here's something to offer you a much better experience https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zVjpWX
  22. Drop the R7 240, get an A10 chip. So no, not good for gaming.
  23. If you're in the US, then yes, used 390/290 cards are a crazy good deal.
