    I've been at the football stadium today where I…

    Bro iPhone alone would be worth it
  2. Well crap. I don't really want to change my password yet though... It sounds like they haven't increased their security so I could theoretically get breached again. Luckily I changed the password for all the websites I use the most recently and didn't change mine for BMG so it shouldn't be TOO big a deal
  3. I'm not sure about prices for you. Between an i5 8400+B360 board combo and an R5 2600 + B450 board combo I would just get whichever would end up cheaper.
  4. As others mentioned get a lower wattage but better quality psu. Also, that cpu cooler is quite weak... if you want to OC I would suggest getting a better cooler or if you don't either go for an i5 8400 + B360 board or R5 2600 + B450 if you want to save some money or get an i7 8700 + B360 board for around the same price which would be better
  5. 2400 MHz is your memory not GPU core lol. You can see from the userbenchmark thing it says CLim (which I'm assuming is the core clock speed) is more around 2100
  6. I WANT IT SO BAD too bad I would have to sell my kidney for one
  7. Dang... I know someone with a 6T. The next time I see them I'll see if I can try it out. It won't get locked, the mods will just move it to a different sub forum if they feel it's not following the guidelines and once you edit it to be fixed they'll move it back. I personally think your post is probably fine since videos are usually a bit unique in that you can't exactly quote text or anything
  8. I had a steam friend recently message saying this site gives you free games or whatever and if I got any good ones to sell them to him. I was like whatever and checked it out and it told me to link my steam account. I was getting ready to type in my credentials when I realized something felt off. Checked the url and it said about blank; if I moused over some links it gave a strange url and none of the links on the "steam" site did anything. I almost got caught by the phishing scam. I'm guessing my steam friend went to the site and got hacked by it and they sent messages to all of their friends.
  9. If anyone is interested in buying a pixel 3/pixel 3 xl or knows someone who wants to buy one I have promo codes that give you $100 off a pixel 3 or $150 off a pixel 3 xl. On top of the promotion going on right now this means you could get a pixel 3 xl for $600. Also if you use it I get $100 free google store credit

    intel has decided to ditch 10nm and go back to…

    Oh so it's like Legos?
  11. I'm sorry my friend but you should've done some research first. Rainbow 6 is a game known to have horrible SLI scaling: it's normal to see the negative scaling that you had happen. It really is that bad. You would've been better off just selling your 1080 and buying a 1080 ti/2080. At this point if you want better performance I would recommend you sell the two 1080s and buy a 1080 ti or 2080. THAT would at least give you a 30% ish performance improvement

    oh I see. Why don't they just jump back to 180nm or whatever or have they forgotten how to do it

    Wait where are you seeing this? All I saw about 22nm from the intel architecture day was that interposers are based off 22FFL
  14. Huh 100% utilization should usually be fine, but 50C is really low. What clock speeds is usually around when gaming? You could try using DDU to uninstall the GPU drivers and then reinstalling them
  15. The cooler and thermal paste are unnecessary. Also, is microATX something you need? Ideally you should get a motherboard with VRM heatsinks that aren't just blocks of metal on top of the VRMs, but it appears that all the microATX boards with good heatsinks are much more expensive... however this ATX board is pretty good and is pretty much the same price https://pcpartpicker.com/product/PCKcCJ/asrock-b450-pro4-atx-am4-motherboard-b450-pro4
  16. 50 degrees sounds like the GPU isn't being fully utilized. Could you check CPU usage during games? Something could be using up your CPU
  17. You'll probably need to make one for it. It might be an issue if you clone onto a new pc in which case you'll have to reactivate probably unless you tied the product key already. I'm not really that sure tbh ?. Apparently there are issues that can pop up with it though so you'll probably have to do some research in that deparment https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/making-sure-windows-7-will-boot-after-changing-the-motherboard/ It appears that the upgrade still works even though it's unofficial. https://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-how-you-can-still-get-a-free-windows-10-upgrade/
  18. I'm guessing that would stay with cloning. The only problem would probably be windows since it usually links itself to your motherboard but if you link it to your microsoft account it should be ok
  19. I would probably say 2600/x tbh, a 2700/x probably wouldn't give much of a benefit except in VMs due to the extra cores so unless you really need more threads for that I would go a 2600/x
  20. What are you using the computer for? It really depends. Most likely though I would actually suggest an R5 2600 or 2600x instead. They're a lot cheaper and most likely you won't lose out much.
  21. Right, it's not like China already has policies that are more capitalist than communist in their own society where you get more money if you're higher status lol. While I obviously don't agree with the other points I at least understand why they might decide to take actions against games for those things. But this is just stupid
  22. What? What is wrong with "rewards given based on rank"?!? Does that like not align with communist ideals or something?
