  1. Hey everyone, I've been looking for an SSD upgrade so I can completely replace my mechanical drive and use my older SSD for bulk storage, the new 960 Evo has really caught my eye. I know it's an M.2. interface, which my board supports, but I'm having trouble finding out if my (relatively) older board will support the full speed and bandwidth of the 960. Anyone know for sure?

  2. Getting 24c idle, ~47c gaming load on my 4790k @ 4.7Ghz 1.25v I'm using a Kraken x61 right now and love it
  3. I think some of you don't know what radiation really is..
  4. 100% a mounting problem, defective pump or similar. Are your radiator fans spinning at a decent RPM? CAM likes to keep those babies real low out of the box. Recommending delidding is very silly, please don't do that. Also, although your case's airflow could be a factor I'd say it's not the main problem as you're running a solid 25 - 30c hotter than you should be imo.
  5. Derp derp really not sure why I said IDE, guess I'm just not on my game today lol.
  6. So I was taking my Acer V3-572PG laptop apart to replace the hard drive because the stock one is painfully slow and when disconnecting the keyboard (edit: ribbon..why was I thinking IDE?) cable from the motherboard the connector literally came off without me putting any force into it what so ever. I've taken laptops apart several times before and I've never broken one of these things, really not sure how it happened. Can I just solder the connector back on the motherboard some how? Or can I just yolo it and tape the cable from the keyboard onto the motherboard (lol)? I tried the last method btw, didn't really work out as you may have guessed.
  7. They removed it because it sucked
  8. I really don't recommend 1080p at 27", the PPI is too low for me personally and I wasn't satisfied with mine at all. I'd either wait until you have a bigger budget and go 1440p, either a Korean monitor or something like the PB278Q when it's on sale.
