  1. by passively do you mean without a heat-sink of any kind? If so, almost certainly not. if you mean taking a heat-sink, removing the stock fan from it, and letting the noctua do the work, then it might.
  2. please let me know if it works. I'm probably going to try the same, and nobody seems to have 100% confirmed compatibility yet. oh and something important to know. this card has a "midplate" which you may or may not need to remove.
  3. is it really? (genuinely curious)
  4. they all have a price for me, did you refine the store search criteria?
  5. tbh, well done. the PSU is quite crap, but since the 750Ti gets all the power it needs from the motherboard i'd say it's excusable, i just wouldn't recommend going to crazy on any OCs on the 6300.
  6. there's you problem. Even my 970 tanks with Sonic Ether's in things like FTB. Hows the performance without the shaders?
  7. I first used a computer (an off-white Microsoft PC) when i think is was 6-ish. Actually built my first when i was about 15 when i just meant to upgrade the graphics card in an HP pre-built, but it didn't like it so I ended up building a PC around an ASUS R7 260X. that said i do really think PCMasterRace (and the term "Console Peasant") should only ever be used with extreme sarcasm.
  8. so whats wrong with it then? seems pretty straightforward to me.
  9. well sort of following on from what i was saying AMD Dual Graphics is, or should be, more powerful than running the onboard or M260 separately as they work in tandem with dual graphics enabled (which should be it's default setting, or the laptop's BIOS possibly enables and disables it as needed).
  10. well I'd assume it's simply a voltage regulator, so provided you find an LED strip that plugs into fan headers (or molex with the right adapter), you could use it as a brightness control without any extra hassle.
  11. any of these for the 4460: https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/motherboard/#m=7,8,18,27&s=24&f=2&c=100,99&X=0,13055&sort=a8&page=1 and any of these for the 6500 (I also accounted for the price difference): https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/motherboard/#m=7,8,18,27&s=30&f=2&X=0,10021
  12. well the motherboard means that you'd HAVE to go with the 4460, but you could go with a B150 motherboard and the 6500 instead. as you can't overclock the 4460, which is basically the point of the Z series boards. oh and MSI is much much better for AMD GPUs like the 380.
  13. Radeon R6 IS the onboard graphics. Radeon Dual Graphics requires there to be a Dedicated GPU in the system (almost certainly not the case in a laptop with an APU) which can be Xfired with the APU's onboard graphics. but this APU using Radeon R6 means i don't think it would be possible anyway, as Dedicated AMD GPUs only come as R5, R7, and R9 to my knowledge.
  14. can't pair that motherboard with those chips, not even slightly
  15. 6770K? yea that's the 6700K. every Skylake chip for the LGA 1151 socket has almost certainly been released. anything more powerful would render the larger CPU's a bit of a moot point unless you NEED dem cores/threads.
  16. I'll start on another tangent by saying that a card that only requires a 6 pin connector will almost certainly not be worth SLIing. if you can plug the 8 pin cable into the 6 pin on the GPU no problem (nothing obstructing the overhanging 2 pins) then you only need to plug in the 6 pin part of the 6+2 cable. the same more or less goes with the other cable. It should also be possible to remove the excess 2 pins on the extension without actually damaging the remaining 6 pins by way of a saw, or something similar.
  17. ISP is the bottlneck, pay more to alleviate it. wireless will always be slower than ethernet, and will match it at best
  18. i don't think a 240mm rad could actually take the heat of both a CPU and 290 and dissipate it effectively, especially if you plan to OC/keep it OCed. EDIT:Reread it, do you mean to bassically create a sortof AIO solution for just the GPU? you might be able to make up you own solution, possibly using similar solutions for RAM watercooling like these:
  19. yes, i forget how though. i found it in a google search though. I'll see if i can find it again. EDIT: Here is a link to a way to do it. but i'm pretty sure whatever i did wasn't as complicated as this, and the option they use isn't there for me: http://www.cnet.com/au/how-to/automatically-log-in-to-your-windows-10-pc/
  20. theoretically double the read and write speeds, a bit over 1GB/s both ways, you wont see that all the time though.
  21. don't bother with the side panel it only helps with multi GPU setups. but the fan suggested above is not a bad choice.
  22. in case the person/one of their friends does the same thing again. Something cheap and semi-disposable is a good thing to have. Especially in School/Uni.
  23. I recently got the Samsung J1 (non-"Ace") and it's performing better than expected (4GB of internal storage is a bit of an arse though)
  24. XP cannot be "upgraded" to Windows 7 with a Windows XP licence key (at least I'm pretty darn sure). You have to obtain a separate Windows 7 Key (did you get one with the disc?).
