  1. It does, I ran it all the time with my SLI 760's and 960's
  2. The heaviest thing Ive ordered was my desk, it was around 140lbs.
  3. it could be a jump in latency or just high latency to twitch's servers. Being in Vietnam would make that reasonably likely if twitch cant deal with high latency or lots of variation while streaming, I wouldnt know for sure though.
  4. could be an internet/twitch issue rather than a hardware issue, a 6500 and a 1060 is not a weak system.
  5. Ive never heard of them but clevo resellers are a dime a dozen, the pentium isnt a bad chip but 750 is too expensive for that kind of hardware.
  6. Shadowplay as a really low system overhead but I dont know if youre able to do overlays and banners with it like you can with other software. Ive not messed with it since the 700 series so I wouldnt know how its progressed in those areas. What I do remember was streaming in 1080p my games at the same settings I normally play them at without any noticeable performance hit on the 760 that I used to have. Its already installed on your system(unless you skipped the GFE install) so its worth checking out.
  7. I use a 120GB for my OS, a 525GB for games and a 4TB external for media. The SSD's are SATA as I dont have M.2 on my board, though even if i did i wouldnt get an M.2 drive since I wouldnt be able to drop it in another system if I needed to. I'm also not a speed queen like most people, SATA SSD's are still fast as balls. I dont think I would ever bother with RAID again, I had a pair of mechanical drives in RAID 0 but I got really unlucky and both of them failed mechanically. I only bothered with RAID because I bought the drives at different times because I couldnt afford $120 for a 2TB HDD at the time. Since then Ive just gone with single larger drives over RAID setups as I dont see any point in bothering with them since my PC usage consists of gaming and media consumption.
  8. the steelie wheels need to be painted with metallic gold and silver paint, also needs a fart can, a bumper bra and a stickerbombed fender to complete the cancer look.

    Winks

    ill be honest, when i saw this thread i read it as twinks and thats why i clicked.
  10. Its a refreshed version of the same GPU, barring some minor changes you already have a 580. Getting a 580 when you already have a 480 wouldnt even be a sidegrade, it would be renewing your warranty.
  11. I would get a Fiat 124 Abarth, after the hard top version comes out. The rest is to buy gas so i can drive everywhere.
  12. Chicken and dumplings prolly, shits good as fuck
  13. I think they're all great, Witcher is a great Character RPG with a good combat system and a great story with an awesomely detailed world. I was unsure about getting it originally because i didnt really like the previous games but I ended up playing 16 hours in my first sitting and it was the only thing I played for 2 months after buying it. Fallout 4 is also a good one to look into, its a more free roam type game compared to Witcher, after the intro you can literally just say fuck the "main" story and go where ever. The gunplay is pretty good and the world of pretty good sized. Skyrim is the same kind of thing except its not 50s sci fi but swords and dragons n magic n shit. Also a great game and both fallout and skyrim have a tremendous modding community if youre into that so those two have a lot of offer. I really liked Far Cry 3 and wanted more of it and thats what FC4 is, more with improvements. The world if pretty big and the gunplay is great, the story or rather the main and sidecontent are both pretty interesting and I enjoyed it. There's lots of "ubisoft" style collectathon stuff but its not really necessary and can be skipped if thats not your thing. Overall FC4 is a solid shooter in a big and pretty open world, also you can use bait to make tigers attack people and ride elephants around and fuck people up. all of the games have been out for awhile so theres plenty of content that you can go and look up to find out more about the games.
  14. Fuckin this so hard, guy must have hit his head while filming bayformers or some shit hes off his fuckin rocker.
  15. Have you looked at Witcher 3, Fallout 4 or Skyrim? Far Cry 4 is another good one. They're all open world type games(though Witcher 3 takes time to open up).
  16. yea, be sure when you put it back on to not move it while youre attaching it. also be sure that while youre tightening the screw to do it evenly in a cross pattern and dont over tighten them.
  17. well a swab should work if you have enough of them to get it clean. If you dont think that you do then you should go get some, even 50% would do you just have to wait longer for it to dry.
  18. you really really shoudnt reuse it, you can but its gonna be just as bad or worse since it will introduce air bubbles, also 70% is enough
  19. them not believing the landings were real doesnt affect the fact that they were real, if they're going to go against all the evidence then let them languish in their stupidity.
  20. the baseplate is the part that touches the cpu with the thermal paste in between. Most if not all aftermarket coolers have a plastic film on it to protect it prior to installation. Even if you took that off it still sounds like you need to remount the cooler because it smells like a bad mount.
  21. Not really worth much due to its age, also dont sell it with the harddrive, people can get all sorts of shit off it even after formatting. You might want to consider parting it out also as alot of people dont want to buy a full system when its that old. Also good places to sell are ebay or https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/
  22. did you take the plastic off the coolers baseplate before you put it on?(only applicable if using an aftermarket unit)
