  1. Hello everyone, Is it a good idea to buy a used mining gtx 1080? Its an EVGA gtx 1080 FTW. (https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-6284-KR) I found a seller in my area willing to sell it for $550. Is there anything I should be worried about? Do I need to replace the thermal compound and pads when I get? Do I have to change the BIOs back?
  2. GOOD NEWS. MY TEMPS ARE DOWN TO 71 C on load. I am still thinking about upgrading my cooler soon since black friday and cyber monday are close
  3. I found out my heat sink fan had a broken fin. The fin has a crack in it. I replaced the after I reset the heat sink with new thermal paste. I lowered the clock to 4 ghz and I have not touched the voltage, it was set to auto.
  4. I figured out that my fan on my hyper 212 had a broken fin when I was trying to reset the heat sink.
  5. Hello, I am looking for a to get a better cooler for my current system. I have a i5 6600k oc to 4.2 ghz on my gigabyte z170x gaming 3 mobo. I am currently using a hyper 212 evo in a nzxt s340 case. When my cpu is under load, the temps can go up to around 97 C. I have added extra fans to add more air into the system and the temps reach about 94 to 95 C. I want to stick with air cooling and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a cpu cooler upgrade. If you have built in a s340, what is the biggest cooler that can fit without touching the side panel
  6. I know dvi works because my monitor works but I also have my gpu connected to a tv when I want to watch netflix
  7. I need some help!. Recently my Asus Strix GTX 970 has not been outputting through its hdmi port and I dont know what to do. I know its not my monitor or cable because the hdmi port on my motherboard works just fine.
