Thanks

Do you set it to 100% or to auto?

Most water cooling systems I have took the time to read the manual says to set the CPU fan header to 100%. The one that powers the pump. What if I don't? What if I let it vary the pump speed by temps? Will this damage the pump?

Still thinking outside the box a little but I think I'm done... When I moved my PC,I noticed the card would jiggle a little. Since it's only mounted by the end now. Didn't like that at all. I dug into my RC helicopter parts (where I got the mounting block) and got a ball link stand off. The threads match the holes in the end of the card. So I put it in there. Then took an adjustable length ball linkage and ran it from the stand off to the case. Card is 100% rigid now Might paint the link black...might not...

A real quick mock up just for you Will have the top slot cover on when finished and the cover material crooked since it's on there with Scotch Tape. lol All the slot covers will be on and trimmed to fade in behind the card. Hopefully you get the idea.

I got a 980 for $200 at Microcenter. The ti was $240 but always out of stock. Factory refurbished btw.

Also remember this isn't the whole mod. This is simply how the GPU is connected to the case.

I'm removing all those slots but the one I need in my regular case. Waiting on the riser adapter now.

I'm not removing all the covers. This is an old case sitting in the garage. I will have to notch a few for my two monitors but I'll use the stock covers to fill any gaps. Besides,the card blocks the view of everything anyway.

Oh. I see. The USB ports look like something else? Thanks for checking it out anyway. This is so simple it seems marketable. lol

What part seems like more than putting a screw in?

I was about to buy a $50 adapter and thought...I can do better. How about a small aluminum block with a couple threaded holes? I happen to have a few. Fasten the block to the GPU mount leaving a small gap that the case material will fit in. Use the gap to hook the GPU over the slot in the case. Tighten a set screw against the case. Doing the same thing on the other end but have to drill a hole in the mounting tab on the GPU. Not really needed unless you slam your PC around a lot. PCI USB board used for demonstration. I'm aware it's not a GPU. lol

How do you like it? Can you turn the lighting off? What CPU and temps do you have going on?

I wonder what kind of an internet connection you'll need. I've played a few server sided games and my connection was pretty good. Still...with 100% of the software based in the cloud,seems like packet loss and latency could be a real issue for some. I'm signed up for early access. If it works and isn't too expensive,it would be cool to play all my games with GTX 1080 power on a $300 PC. lol I mainly wonder about when I work away and use motel wifi. A cheap laptop and I'm ready for GTX 1080 gaming.

Thanks.

Most of those refunds is because I got them cheaper somewhere else. lol Still can't believe I pre-ordered The Technomancer. Face meet palm. hahaha

I found it. I admit,I gave more for some of them than I remembered...

Also the Uncharted games. Not to mention planning on The Division because I have friends on both platforms. TLOU was just the last straw. lol

Whatever. Any PC gamer knows that Steam sales put their games at under $5 for weeks at a time. Very often. I checked and Steam doesn't show anywhere what I paid and my banking statements wouldn't say what game I purchased. So you guys just believe what you want. I mean,just building my PC got me The Witcher 3,Batman Arkham Knight,Arkham City,Arkham Origins,Arkham Asylum,Arkham Blackgate,Rise of the Tomb Raider(even though I already had it) FREE

Why would I need proof? Game prices are not worthy of conspiracy. I gave what I gave and at the time it was 3-5 times cheaper. It is what it is...

No AAA console games are ever on sale for $2. Never. PC game sales are all the time somewhere. I never give more than $20 for a PC game. As for my use of sales...I was comparing Holiday sale prices. PC was way less than half when both platforms were on sale. Even if we omit sale prices...PC is way cheaper day to day. I'm not trying to argue anyway. I just don't understand why console games are regularly double the price. I could spend $2000 on a PC and after buying 50 games on each platform,I'd be money ahead on PC.

If you buy a pre-owned game...how does activation work? I know a lot of games with multiplayer can't be used more than once.

Rivals does not equal the same. But yeah...$80 for AMD 8320e CPU which is way more powerful than console. $189 for a GTX 970 which is way more powerful than console. And about another $300 to get them working. $500-$700 for a PC that outperforms any console and your first three games makes them equals in price. And why do you say quality case? To rival the chunk of plastic the consoles are in? Thanks for the Game Stop tip though. Their pre-owned stuff is a legit option...Except GTA 5 for $54 used. lol

G2A? But anyway...There are tons of games on console that are 500% cheaper on PC. Dues Ex MK for example. $10 on PC vs $60 on console. Saints Row IV is $60 on console and I paid $3 on PC. Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider. I got the bundle for $10 on PC. Mars War Logs and The Technomancer...$60 each on console and $2 MWL and $5 Technomancer on PC. Star Wars Battlefront/Crysis 1,2 and 3/Battlefield 3 and 4/Dragon Age Inquisition/Mirrors Edge Catalyst and a host of others...free on PC with $5 subscription. Just Cause 3 $5 on PC. The Division $10 on PC. The Steam sales just blow all consoles away as far as pricing. PC games have developers,actors and everything else that consoles have.

The news of The Last of Us Part 2 made me run out and buy a Playstation. I looked at the Pro and the 8 core AMDs and decided the "older" PS4 is what suited me. My question is this... The new consoles are not cheap. The PS4 Pro price rivals a really good gaming PC in price. I'm basing that on a GTX 1060 central build. So what justifies the price of the games on console? All these $60 games in the Playstation Store are on my PC and I gave under $5 for a LOT of them. This is a serious question. Not trolling. I want to know. Why are the console games so much more expensive when the console itself is priced so high?
