  1. go to speedtest.net or fast.com and report back those speeds. most rom download sites have bandwidth caps
  2. I gave up waiting and ended up buying a second r6 and threw my gaming pc into it.
  3. I recently picked up a fractal design vrc-25 riser card for my define r6 case but it doesnt line up properly. I can either screw in the riser or install the card with the riser hanging because it seems the screw holes on the case or riser are off by about 3-5mm. I have always thought highly of fractal designs stuff so I didnt think to look up issues like this like I would do with case manufactures. But i did look it up and it seems others with define r6 are experiencing the same issues however they are able to use atleast one screw to hold down the riser and I cant even do that. I included pics to show the issue.
  4. Is power consumption a concern? if not why not look into older hardware like a fx-8350 or 4790k? I am personally in the process of upgrading my old i5 2500k plex server to a 4770k or 4790k(haven't decided on which yet, but I have both on hand) A 3570 should have no problem handling 2 transcodes, it should be able to handle 3 1080p transcodes. With that being said, what is your buffer size? unless your starting all streams at once having a larger buffer size will help plex bounce back and forth between the transcodes and keep ahead of where your viewing, its just a band-aid but it helps. Are you transcoding because of needing lower quality streams because of bandwidth limitations while doing offsite streams? If not and its all local instead id look at finding audio and video containers that play well with your plex clients and do the initial transcode from your media to that format so plex wont have to transcode so much on the fly. You can use your gtx 970 but last i knew gpu transcoding was still in its early stages and was really inefficient and you couldnt have it help your cpu it was you chose one or the other to do all your transcoding. Things may have gotten better now but its been a good minute since I looked into it.
  5. As in the panel is nicer or better build quality? I am currently on a mx279h
  6. Went by the Houston location over the weekend, everything was 25% off listed price. No deals were better even with that discount than what was on the local craigslist unfortunately.
  7. With the honor 6x priced at $200, I feel it is a much better deal imo
  8. Maybe find a dumb person at walmart or bestbuy and try to get a price match?
  9. these also come with red drives inside for $120 and come with the $25 gc so it comes out to $95 for a 4tb red drive! http://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-easystore-4tb-external-usb-3-0-hard-drive-black/5792400.p?skuId=5792400
  10. Probably because mea is a console port and most ports lock down to 30 or 60 and wont go past that.
  11. I have both a 7970(what the 280x was rebranded from) and a 1050ti. in day to day gaming you cant tell the difference between the 2 but the heat and the power consumption of a 7970/280x makes the 1050ti a no brainer.
  12. Good deal except for the fact it is gearbest. I ordered a yi 4k action cam from them months and months ago and they never sent it saying it was back ordered, then eventually just put it in as a credit on there site which I refuse to order from now and they keep giving me the run around on refunding the money.
  13. Dam, just bought this game from steam a couple months ago to go down memory lane... one of the few games I was actually kind of good at lol.
  14. I dont see anywhere on the listing showing these as a bulk pack of 40? Am I blind?
  15. gearbest is also having a sale as well for 11.11. just picked up a yi 4k for ~$50 off
