    You're in Canada, so we have different laws here in the states. On a federal level, false advertising falls under Bait-and-switch regulations. Those regs give a specific exemption for "good-faith errors". For example, you send the correct ad to the newspaper but the paper prints the wrong price. You are not required to honor the mistaken price. Wrong prices on websites are covered under this so long as the price wasn't intentionally displayed to get buyers that would be later offered the product at full price.

    Yeah Best Buy had this with some HDTVs a while back for a like a dollar. People tried suing them and lost

    Done, dropped the GPU some degrees but still running too hot with too high memory clock
  5. terminal2
    Thats my last step, but that will just test the random shut down part. Still doesnt explain why card is needing 1500MHz memory to run the desktop - it used to use 300MHz.

    Nope Processor never cracked 62, reapplied paste to be sure Drivers were cleanly installed with clean install of windows.

    Rig: i3-4160 Gigabyte R9 270 1X 8GB of 1600MHz DDR3 1TB Barracuda HDD EVGA 1050GS Power Supply Windows 10 Home Symptoms: Random restarts. Completely random. Sometimes crash to desktop from games, sometimes completely to BIOS from anywhere. Artifacting in Fallout 4. Has suddenly started running at full 1500MHz memory while running the desktop Runs at 48 degrees at idle. Never overheats though during games. Used to run about 30-40 degrees at idle Fans run above 35% constantly when they used to run at 25% on desktop The thing I've never heard of is a graphics card making an entire system restart, thats something Id usually attribute to failing memory or a bad PSU, but this occurs across 3 different PSUs I've tried and memory swaps. The random restarts will also persist even if I underclock the card which cools it down at idle.

    Its because I was just researching the 390 and was comparing it to the 970. My response was because what I found was the brands were consitent on both. Gigabyte/Powercolor were bad and EVGA/XFX/MSI/Sapphire were good. Didn't really notice EVGA didn't make AMD cards. My advice still stands for both cards, minus EVGA for AMD. Nice job jumping to conclusions though.

    Not even a single 980ti is going to give you 60 FPS max settings 4K. The video card industry has lagged behind for a couple years in development lacking a new mark to aim for past 1080/1440. Pascal/Polaris GPUs are allegedly the fix to that issue and will focus on 4K as standard. You're better off waiting for Polaris/Pascal if you want 4K.

    Sapphire is the one I've heard MSI, XFX and EVGA also have good iterations. Gigabyte and Powercolor have bad reps on the 390. Both are notorious for overheat.
  11. terminal2
    Are there applications where you could see a benefit from a Titan X? Yes. Is it worth double the price of a 980ti? No.

    I have an ASRock Z97 Extreme6, EVGA 1050GS Gold power supply, and will pair the 4790K with a Aquachanger 240. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835494019

    According to the site " Passed the ROG RealBench stress test for one hour with these settings: 48x CPU Multiplier 1.328V CPU VCORE (Or less) 1.90V CPU INPUT VOLTAGE (Or less) "

    I want it to guarantee headroom. So if I want a 4.5GHz constant OC, I want it to be able to do 4.7 maxed. I like knowing my processor is solidly in the stable range.
  15. terminal2
    Really? I had read 4.6 as a realistic target for all 4790k owners. I plan on going with the Aquacharger 240 on newegg in a Carbide Air 540 case
  16. terminal2
    So Im seriously thinking again about moving from my i3-4160 to an i7-4790k and I found the website siliconlottery.com on here and they have a guaranteed to 4.8GHz OC 4790k. Its 349 there and 339 on newegg. Should I spend the extra $10 on that level of performance 4790k owners?

    Thumbs up for a LOUIS AND LINUS COLLABORATION!
  18. terminal2
    Well you can be sick and tired, IDGAF. The reason I personally watch linus is SPECIFICALLY because of their integrity when dealing with products. They dont let sponsor money affect their opinion and their not fanboys. I can't believe the audacity of one fan "Hurr durr, watch Linus for the same reason I do or fuck off" So if Linus is no longer taking responsibility for the effect his content has, I no longer have a reason to follow his advice. Or at the very least, take it with a grain of salt.
  19. terminal2
    Or pretty ignorant of how technology works, which a lot of linus' youtube audience is... Or just put an annotation at the front of the video? A simple edit? What are you talking about re-releasing all the videos. And there is nothing wrong with Linus' other videos. His other videos contain all pertinent info to the topic at hand.
  20. terminal2
    Exactly. As he said, feel free to test it. If it was the balls, then using heat below their melting point WOULD NOT WORK The issue here isn't that @LinusTech made a video about it. The two issues are: 1. Someone could take a failing but still working VGA card and kill it trying to repair it. Even worse if the card was just underclocking itself due to overheating that could be fixed with a reapplication of thermal paste 2. Linus put no disclaimer in the video about that this was temporary if it did work. So if someone in a disadvantaged country did this and thought their card was fixed, they might not start saving as they otherwise would for a new card, and be pretty boned when it crapped the bed again
  21. terminal2
    Wow, I'm surprised @LinusTech would put this crap on this internet. I guess he didn't watch all of Louis Rossmann's videos, who made the apple video he talked about on WAN. The strange thing is, if you COULD reflow a SSD/HDD, THAT would serve a purpose since maybe it would allow you pull data. But reflowing is a very temporary fix. There is almost no reason to do this VS just buying a new GPU.

    The Fallout 4 one I'm not getting. I've heard it can be hard to run but I maxed it with an i3-4160 and a R9 270. Granted I hit the silicon lottery with the 270 and got it all the way to 1125 Core and 1575 Memory, but still. The 270 is down to economy sweet-spot at best. And I can still get 38-50 FPS @1080p with a factory limit OC of 1050/1500 But I pushed the memory to hard on it, so now I stuck in the same position as OP. Except, I already have a 4K 30Hz TV that runs 1080 @ 120FPS. And my next purchase will be 4k 60Hz. And I only have $340 bucks for a GPU. So yeah. I'm choosing between a 390 or GTX 970. Or getting a 380/960 and putting the $100 towards a next gen GPU.
  23. terminal2
    Yeah man, I can't imagine a game that would bring a 980ti to 60FPS in 1080 except for a split second. But yeah if you see the benefit then great. However OP would be better served allocating that 300 bucks elsewhere in the budget for 1440p, then making the jump to Polaris/Pascal when he/she jumps to a 4K display. And that was my overall point. More in response to the guy thumbing his nose at people who would dare consider price/performance
  24. terminal2
    Come on man, you're gonna tell me that some extra frames that won't even been seen on a 60Hz 1440p monitor, is worth double the money? For some applications, maybe, but not for OP OP is better off taking the 300 bucks he saves and putting it towards a Polaris or Pascal GPU in the future, which will be specifically geared toward 4k instead of this intermediary BS.
  25. terminal2
    Stop encouraging exploiting warranty terms, guys. Which is clearly what OP is trying to do.
