  1. How does it compare to the RX 560? Good point Which GPU did you buy? Do you have one you would recommend? It needs to be less than 266mm or 10.5"
  2. So, in July I bought everything for my build except for the graphics card. I was under the impression that GPU stocks and prices will return to normal around now, and was planning to get the RX 580 Nitro+. However I've contacted Sapphire and they said that they have no idea when the market situation will return to normal, or when stocks will become wildly available. I think that it is a huge waste to have parts sitting around for more months to come. I am thinking of dropping my target and go for the RX 560, which seems unaffected by the market situation. I did toy with the idea of getting a GTX 1070, but I'll give up freesync and will blow my budget at their current market prices. What is a first time builder to do? As further consideration my build consists of: Ryzen 1600 Asrock AB350 ITX Corsair SF450 LG 23MP68VQ monitor - freesync and @75Hz - 1080p Edit: I also wish to consider the re-selling value of whatever I end up with. Or should I just forget that... Edit edit: I am using this build for photo editing and also play games, such as Fallout 4, Mass Effect, Doom, i.e. all the recent amazing games I've been missing out on with my ageing laptop.
  3. look on camelcamelcamel.com Edit: gives you an overview of the past, and maybe some indications of the future.
  4. @Sauron @Supermangik One thing I would say is that diets are heavily influenced by our respective culture, which in term is very much like an ideology.
  5. Well it says mining rig, so no not research A school that can afford a rack full of Teslas... now that's something.
  6. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lot-8-mining-rigs-with-RX-580-and-RX-570-brand-new-cards-1400mh-Ethereum-UBIQ-/272824209396?hash=item3f85970ff4:g:ChkAAOSwz2tZpF-P That's where these babies all end up... they should be with me, pushing out frames, not magic coins. And what they hell is wrong with the price?
  7. One problem with the heat sink and heat pipes: The sun will definitely heat it up, so overall heat transfer may be back to Earth. Unless the construct can somehow be constantly on the dark side.
  8. Yea absolute ethanol is 99.9% ethanol so I won't have that problem
  9. Yea I'll probably get new thermal compound. Question: Everyone seems to use iso-propanol to remove the old paste. I have access to absolute ethanol. Is there any harm is using that? I can't see why it would harm anything.
  10. How often does this separation happen? I've never seen or heard of after market thermal compound doing this.
  11. Hi people, So I received my spanking new Ryzen 1600, and, of course, the Wraith Spire cooler came with it. The pre-applied cooling compound appeared yellow -brownish (see attached). Is this normal? I contacted the seller and they claimed "Thats oil within the paste that settles. This is normal and what the paste is made up of." What's your take on this? EDIT: picture failed to attach the first time round.
  12. You live and learn... ...most people forget the latter...
  13. Lemme keep this short. I have a 1080 75fps freesync monitor, and wanted to get the RX 580 when the prices come back down. I found an exdisplay Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6GB for £269. What would you do in my position? 1060 now or wait for the RX 580.
  14. Hmmm... Then I could have bought it earlier Should have asked you guys earlier too.
  15. Hi all! So I've been wanting to buy the Ryzen 1600. Do you guys think that Ryzen prices will drop after Coffeelake's launch? Thanks!
  16. The first ever PC game I've played? The Sims. 10/10 Would binge again.\ Edit: wait that can't be right! That was in 2000! It must have been something before that. I can't remember though. But My dad was quite late into the whole PC thing... The first OS he got for us was windows 98. Also, just want to share this nostalgic feeling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8XKhCfsTts
  17. I've never heard of computing students needing their own high grade desktops. The department usually has their own high performance desktops. Though I might be wrong. Which uni are you going to, if you don't mind telling?
  18. I am no expert, but I guess it depends on what kind of programming (e.g. scientific image analysis?) you will be doing.
  19. £6 more for 3200MHZ memory here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B0143UM4TC/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new Looks awesome otherwise.
  20. In my opinion, if Esport becomes an Olympic sport, then baking should be one too, which would be educational as well. Other things include beatboxing, air racing, aerobactics and rope jumping.
  21. There are many physical sports that are on the waiting list. Esport will be at the bottom of the pile. Unless there will be the summer Olympics, winter Olympics, and Electronic Olympics.
  22. Ryzen 1600, Asrock AM4 ITX AB350, and vengeance 16gb 3200mhz. I bit the bullet with the RAM. It high now, but it is going to go higher and higher.
