  1. Looking for a new gaming mouse since my Corsair Scimitar died. (Yes, I voided my warranty and learned my lesson :\) Realized I really wasn't using the buttons all that much, and wanted to focus on ergonomics for a new mouse. Mionix Castor and Naos 7000 are both strong contenders so far, but I would love to hear any suggestions/ experiences you may have. Thanks in advance!
  2. Think a Asus GTX 1080 could run triple 1440p?
  3. Thinking about putting the EK D5 Bay Reservoir (https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-dbay-d5-pwm-mx-acetal-incl-pump) in my Air 540, but the 5.25 bays are sideways. I've seen it in a few online, but they didn't mention if any modding was required. Just checking with you all to make sure this won't result in complications. Thanks
  4. Strong recommendation for the K65. I've had mine for years and love the tenkeyless design, probably never going back to a full keyboard again.
  5. According to fractal and a few reviews, the core 500 should be able to fit the huge 280mm rad on the H115i, but the tubing is super long and thick too I have no clue what else might be incompatible and would love a second opinion from my favorite forum. Thanks in advance
  6. I recently won a beautiful ASUS PB258Q(2560x1440, IPS, 25") and have been using it next to my old ASUS VE247H(1920x1080, TN, 23.6") for quite some time. BUT ThaT's NOt ImmErSivE EnouGH. I was wondering how functional it would be to grab another VE247H for the other side, despite different sizes, resolutions, and color reproductions. I just love the look and feel of those triple monitor setups. Would it be worth to grab two other VE247H's and mount the PB258Q on top? Thanks in advance for any input
  7. Whelp. I have decided to finally swallow my pride and admit that the Gigabyte G1 Gaming R9 390 was not my finest purchase. It runs hot, loud, and somewhat unstable. I get pretty rough artifacting with no overclock. It's voltage locked and has a plethora of compatibility issues. However, it is the exact amount of performance I need, and I feel like I would be losing money trying to resell it to get a different card. So the question is, should I bite the bullet and get a completely new card, wait for Pascal and Polaris, or should I attempt to tackle the most annoying issues, such as heat and noise, with a liquid graphics AIO, like the Kraken G10 or the corsair equivalent. I already have a Kraken X61 I could put on it, but I wanted your opinion on if this is even worth attempting to salvage. Thanks in advance for all feedback!
  8. Should I go with the Note or Galaxy? Battery life and camera are my main concerns.
  9. Thanks a ton! If anything, you could probably go cheap on the speakers. I normally keep my headphones on anytime i'm near my PC.
  10. Probably around $100 to $150, full setup would be nice if i could afford it without skimping too hard on any part. I'd prefer new, again if possible on that budget. I'm also in the Southern U.S.
  11. I would love some value recommendations, don't have that much to spend on it
  12. Primarily voice recordings and general music listening. Just running off of my Asus Z97-AR's onboard audio right now, should I get a sound card first?
  13. I would recommend the Corsair Air 540, if your desk can fit it
  14. I can personally vouch for the excellent quality of the Senheiser 598's. Would definitely recommend.
