  1. I vaguely remember seeing Linus's SV1000 or SV650 in his garage years ago, maybe the team should make a video that's bike related ? ?
  2. Thanks mate, it was actually Jeff that inspired me to get a MBP for this very purpose. The thing is he is running synthetic benchmarks, I would like to see real world performance statistics, eg. Dota 2/CS:GO/Overwatch/WOW/CRYSIS/and so on.
  3. Hello, I'm wondering if anyone on the forum is running a 2017 15" Macbook Pro with an external gpu. I've recently acquired a 2017 2.9Ghz i7 model, and plan to use it as my daily laptop as well as the work horse on my desk as i'm moving to a different country and don't want to lug my desktop along. Current desktop specs : Fx 8350 4.8GHz/R9 290x/16GB/multiple sata III ssds/ As the current generation i7's on laptops are of a comparable performance to my desktop cpu, but about 6 times more power efficient, it was cause to make this purchase. I've been out of the retail computing space for quite a few years and would like some advice. I'm thinking of getting the Mantiz Venus Thunderbolt 3 enclosure @ U$389. It comes with 5 USB 3.0 ports / lan / thunderbolt and a SATA 3 port and would like to pair it with a GTX 1070 From my research, I've only seen test results in the form of synthetic benchmarks and not in the form of real world FPS from games. Is anyone running a similar setup ? Eg. 2016MBP/GTX1060/GTX1050Ti/RX480/RX580 Would love to hear some comments. Cheers, Ninja
  4. Aite cool, thanks lads! gonna give it a go
  5. Hey people, need to get a good free ddns service. Any recommendations from anyone who has tried and tested them. Cheers
  6. I've moved over from logitech to razer a couple months ago, but I HATE MY MOUSE! 1. mouse doesn't run very smoothly on my mouse pad after 2 months of use.(using a exactmat X control, that i bought about 8 years ago) 2. mouse doesn't feel good. 3. No clear definition when using the left and right click buttons on the mouse. I want a good logitech mouse that actually is ergonomically designed
  7. i'm on a gigabyte board, it comes with a legacy pci slot adaptor The big difference between the formula v-z is that the rog board uses an intel nic. If I had known that earlier, i woulda gotten the formula v-z the 990fxa-ud3 is as good as the formula v but costs wawy less im using a Asus R9 280x dcuii OC, i do sometimes get problems with artefacts, but all you really have to do is restart the game and it'll be back to normal again. I've probably have had 6 times at which artefacts have appeared.
  8. hello, ive used ubuntu for years, but simply cannot install ubuntu 14.04lts for some reason. I get to the language option screen but then it partially loads some text and just stops. help?
  9. Who do you think is gonna win The International IV?

  11. Do NOT get the OEM version, as I learnt the hard way, you will not be able to reinstall the OS if there are major hardware changes. eg. Motherboarrd/cpu are changed.
