  1. First page comment? lol Cool PC though, I like SFF PCs :3
  2. Tesoro keyboard, Logitech MX Performance, Logitech C920 webcam, Blue Yeti, and Apple earpods lol
  3. I'm currently using the Tesoro Excalibur, but the backlight is only in Blue
  4. most likely won't get this laptop, dual core CPU will be a pretty big bottleneck for anything that is intensive. Will look at Asus's and MSI's offering of laptops with external GPU docks oh yeah, and only 8GB of RAM. rip
  5. Yeah. But I have to unscrew the I/O from the side *sigh* the hassle is too real. The front dust filter is somewhat badly implemented in this case?
  6. Oh yeah LOL. Forgot all about the water. I clean the top dust filter with water, didn't think about applying it to the front. Thanks!
  7. How to remove/clean front dust filter of the Xigmatek Aquila case? I removed the front panel, but it seems that the front soft foam is like clipped in with metal bits that can't seem to be undone, unless breaking off the clips? Case link: http://www.xigmatek.com/product.php?productid=218 Thanks
  8. Heat is just the byproduct of the high OC. Even if the temps are low, the higher voltage is the one that probably does more damage to the CPU than heat itself. That's one of the reasons why CPUs in OC competitions are essentially "dead" due to the high voltage, despite the sub-zero cooling.
  9. Username: TFH https://www.vessel.com/videos/LCoY5zfFf https://www.vessel.com/videos/DkWN4qqW1 ---- We just post the links that we watch and like, right? Since there isn't a liking system on Vessel, is there?
  10. Well, consumers who are remotely interested in this MacBook should have at least checked the I/O or seen pictures of it on Apple's website and noticed the lone USB Type-C port on the side. So, I guess people who are buying this don't necessarily need to use their peripheral devices that often enough to look for an alternative?
  11. If I'm not mistaken, I thought one could use some adapter (since this is like a "must have" for such a new device) that would have USB port(s) and an another USB Type-C port, no?
  12. [sorry if this is the wrong subforum, please move it if so] Who is the target audience for Apple's new MacBook? MBA 11 - 2.38 MBA 13 - 2.96 MBPr 13inch - 3.48 pounds MB - 2 pounds For the same base price of $1299, one could get the MBPr 13 - better CPU (not sure about GPU), much better I/O and still has the screen I honestly don't see a good reason to get the new MacBook. The I/O is too restrictive/limited. I read that some people said that this is essentially an "iPad w/ a keyboard". Students can't afford or there are better alternatives. Businessmen would definitely want a laptop with better I/O. Content creators would want something better than a Core M CPU. Journalists might want to constantly use their USB drives? WHO IS THIS LAPTOP FOR?!?! so confused... Or is this device essentially a luxury device, such as a Rolex watch?
  13. Like what the title says, what programs did LMG use to make the new LTT intro? The intro with images of the computer and such ending with a person wearing headphones. Thanks
  14. skylake isn't even out yet, but probably around the same price as Haswell and other CPU launches at the time of release? or maybe even cheaper due to better manufacturing?
  15. I have only used the 3D software Blender so far, so I can't comment on the other softwares. It seems that you are experiencing some sort of bottleneck, or your GPU is not on par? When I use Blender, I use my GPU to render, not the CPU, since the GPU is much faster than the CPU in the majority of the cases. So, my CPU would essentially be idling. Therefore, I think you should allocate more of your money to a GPU or workstation GPU and less on the CPU. Of course, check the exact details with the software you use. However, in my case, it seems the 5820k is way of a overkill, since even when rendering on the GPU, only 1~2 cores would be active (I use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to monitor). ^This if you are serious about 3d rendering and whatnot, consider a quadro card or the amd equivalent (I think FirePro?), but check the software's GPU list.
  16. Video connectors on motherboard would the the CPU's iGPU, not the discrete GPU.
  17. Dude, just get the one that you think looks the best. They perform within the same margin anyway...
  18. Uhh, didn't Nvidia come out and corrected one of their employees's statement of that there wouldn't be a software fix, since it's an hardware issue? Also, according to pcper, I think, the GPU's ram usage is determined by the OS, not through other software.
  19. ... Where did you get this information from? Have you seen any sort of GPU benchmarks for these cards? 290 is somewhat comparable with the 970 in terms of fps, but like $100+ cheaper than the 970. There have been some amazing deals for it for about the last couple months now. You also need to consider the amount of vram, 290: 4GB vs 960: 2GB. So if you plan on playing on 1080+ monitors, the 4GB would most likely help.
  20. if this post is true... Sweet! I don't have to buy a new mobo if I choose to get the Broadwell Extreme CPUs
