DON'T SKIMP ON THE CPU please
 
Learn from my mistake

Uh... They're in a different room than what their PC is in?

You mean like they did with the original Shield? People (especially Linus) seemed to like that a lot..

I thought you'll be making a computer out of 16 year old components.

Agreed. I have the H90 and I have been looking for a replacement fan for it and I honestly haven't found anything that will work other than Noctuas. 

Dude just put it in with your family furniture and other stuff and ship it over with that. It's probably not going to survive, and if it does there's a good chance you'll end up with a warped/bent case.
Luggage handlers aren't going to treat it carefully. I'd pay extra for shipping.
I'm on my phone, just type 'luggage handlers' in on YouTube, you'll get plenty of results.

Anything Phanteks is making...

That doesn't mean shit man...

But...you already made a thread for this...?

I can see that, OK let me break the situation down.
 
Consoles are guarunteed to all have the same hardware inside right, say you're developing a game for the PS4, you know what specs everyone has so you make your game with those specs in mind, lots of aspects of the game are tweaked in order to achieve a smooth running experience on that given piece of hardware, a frame rate target will be chosen and a resolution target will be chosen.
 
Given that the most common framerate is 30fps, allowing users to increase graphical settings would result in an unplayable experience.
 
Now here is the part that lies with the devloper, why not allow users to drop the graphics in order to achieve a higher framerate? Well there are a number of reasons why that may be but in a lot of cases where it would be possible to allow it developers choose not to, presumably because they want the game to look as good as it was originally advertised and want to make sure all users get the same experience (unless you're Ubisoft).
 
There are exceptions of course, FFXIV allows users to drop the resolution in order to ensure staying at 60fps in densely active areas rather than face drops by forcing the game to remain at 1080p, Warframe has several graphical options including FOV adjustment in the menus as the game is capable of running at max settings on a PS4.
 
I am with you on wanting to see an option to drop the visuals or resolution and get a higher framerate, but only where reasonable to do so and not to large detriment to the overall experience.

They already pin it out to the highest possible settings. In theory, no one would want to play a game at 24FPS or at 144p, now would they? And who playing a console would actually give two cares? They can't handle more than what they are doing. It's like asking why can't you upgrade a console or why can't you install Windows on a console?
 
May as well add to the GIF flow.
 
 

Exactly. Still, I may go push-pull on the top radiator with some eLoops...they so sexy. 

Agreed. The reason? it's not a crappy Asetek-made radiator, meaning that it's a full copper radiator, akin to stand-alone radiators for custom loops.  

Swiftech H220

Sounds like a plan

The Asus DG is a legacy PCI sound card.

Unfortunately it will not fit in a PCI-Express slot and the MSI GD80 Z77a board doesn't have a legacy PCI slot.

Sorry.

Yeah, I'm using it at the moment, it's a great mic...but that's sort of the problem. Everything from keyboard noises and general background noise, to my toilet flushing. I'm probably going to pick up a modmic. 

Would encourage a lot more shitposting to reach 100 posts or whatever you consider a regular so that they can join the good giveaways.

760 but I would buy the 280(non x) for the same price for better performance.
@JJB remember to follow your thread

Why would you spend like 500+ $ water cooling a 200$ graphics card? It might look good, but it would make absolutely no sense. I would much rather have a 780 or whatever than a water cooled 270X..

The G550JK is a well-balanced machine that strikes a solid balance between form factor, looks, performance, and cost.
 

 
Alright, now onto the really good stuff. We have an ASUS G550JK (signed by some of the HighLANder attendees including Linus, Luke, Logan, and Austin) to give away to one lucky viewer! All you need to do to qualify is post your favourite thing about the G550JK from the review above in this thread and you can be selected at random to win this laptop!
  
Best of luck to everyone!
 
One entry per household.
 
The giveaway is worldwide and closes July 18th. The winner will be drawn LIVE on The WAN Show, so make sure you're watching at twitch.tv/linustech at 4:30pm Pacific on July 18th!
 
UPDATE:
 
The winner of the notebook is ShuColate
 
NEW UPDATE:
 
The previous winner did not respond, so we drew a new one - congratulations [member=jacewa]!

Push pull made a huge difference for me at 600 rpm on my 60mm 480 rads, I  push pulled one radiator, and dropped 4 degrees without increasing fan speed (that was only one radiator as well, if I did it on the other rad, it may have been 5-6 degrees, maybe more.
 
Push/pull has always made a decent difference at higher thickness-es and higher FPI, but for some reason people like linus test it with h100i's, which is a bit of a joke IMO.
 
I already have 8 gentle typhoons, so it's not like I'd have to spend extra money on fans, as I already have enough for 2 on a 240mm in the roof of my r4, and 6 on the 360mm in the front if I push pull.

Asus making overpriced, quality products.

But the 290 is better (~same perf + more vram). The 6950 is still a great card, so i suggest you wait for the 800 series if you want an nvidia card.

How do you mean it's too small? It should fit perfectly.
