    I can get an MSI Armor 4GB R9 380 for 100 dolla…

    I have a (2GB) R9 380, and although I don't have overwatch I can tell you it is good; although rather loud if you want respectable temperatures (I have the sapphire nitro one in a corsair 250d). I get consistent 450fps+ on CS:GO which sould translate to like, I dunno, 60-80+ for slightly more normal games? Just guessing xD. For shits and giggles I loaded up Minecraft and put the graphics settings to minimum, window size minimum, and went into a void world for maximum performance. I only got 2450fps, not enough imo :(.
  2. So I have just recieved my corsair k70 rgb lux in the post, and wouild like to try out the fps keycaps. How do i use the keycap puller? Do I literally just put the hooks around the edge and pull? It just feels like that might break it. Any typosyou see in this posty blame on the fact that i dont know the keyboard layout yet lol. thanks for help.

    STRMfrmXMN you lucky duck.... On Amazon UK they're £91.70, which is $135.67... FFS I thought I could finally get something decent.
  5. I will take photos/video about.... never. Lol. Would 16GB be enough for a decent sized itunes library, apps like news, weather, evernote, etc, and 1 or 2 games/films on itunes?
  6. I am looking for a relatively cheap smartphone. Not interested in a contract, would like to buy upfront. I am thinking of the iPhone SE, as I already have invested a bit in Apple's ecosystem - Games, a couple of books, songs. I have 2 questions: 1. Are there any Android phones at a similar price to the iPhone SE that are much better (as I would have to rebuy some apps etc if I went android)? 2. How much could I get out of just 16GB? Thanks
  7. Explain. Nothing wrong with it at all, thank you very much.
  8. Why do Americans like tipping so much? People get paid by employers, they don't need your money. Here in the UK we would only give a tip to someone like a taxi driver or restaurant waitor who is particularly kind/friendly, or who actually does their job very very well.
  9. Go with the speakers. You will be using them for much more time than you spend staring at your PC.

    Meanwhile I am staying at home because an ear infection made my eardrum burst...
  13. By the time you have finished Polaris, Pascal, and kaby Lake will be out lol
  14. Guys, just remember that low end mobile OEM GPUs are the only ones AMD doesn't update at a process shrink. And these are the very GPUs in question, so don't expect Polaris.
  15. Not OCed, a 380 is already overkill for CS:GO, MC, and random indie steam games. Just wanted something in case I want to get some new decent-looking AAA game. Also, external ODs are more expensive, and I honestly do not need to use it with other devices. And why not make use of a space I have?
  16. Yep, Nitro. Already have twisty ties as this was a fairly temp. solution before I buy my optical drive and AiO. I need to tie a loop of extra cable together, I think that is the probllem.
  17. R9 380 Sapphire 2GB, no backplate. The 250D has a 5 1/4" bracket that I have routed cables just under, and when I apply pressure to the bracket the clicking stops. One of the cables might be being blown by a fan into the bracket repeatedly? At the front of the pic is the bracket.
  18. I think they may be two seperate probs. I just clicked reset on Afterburner, and the fan is working properly, so somehow I broke my fan curve that had worked fine for 2 months, I check temps every week under load to ensure things are fine. Odd. I have only just redone cable management of my case, so I will check to see if a cable is knocking against something. I got so panicked there... Do you think my GPU being at 100C for up to 30min will have damaged it in any way?
  19. Please help ASAP. My PC suddenly started to make a clicking noise as I was playing CS:GO, just now. I fiddled a bit and upon removing the top panel of my 250D the noise stopped, making me presume it was like a cable knocking against it. Just to make sure all was ok I loaded up afterburner, and my GPU was at 98C and my fan was stuck at 35%. I need to know what is happening ASAP, anyone have any help or need more info?
