For those trying to find the cards.
 
Model number was quite literally just 30##. Not 30## - ####
 
I don't think they had any 3080s
 
I tried with 3060, 3070, and 3080. Only 3060 and 3070 sent me to a link (out of stock when I arrived).
 
So the url were along the lines of 3060z20x16 or 3070z20x16. 3080z20x16 gave you a 404.

Its not  repairable

Depends what the resolution of the panel is, not the physical size.

On June 28, 2016 the Linus Media Group domain registrar account was compromised.
 
The exact methodology of the "hack" won't be disclosed for obvious reasons, but I can assure you that despite any claims to the contrary, the appropriate safeguards were in place on our side, and as I type this Yvonne is having a very heated phone discussion with the 3rd party responsible for the breach.
 
Anyway, the thing most of you are probably wondering about right now is what this means for your forum account or personal information, and the answer is very simple:
 
NOTHING.
 
The "hacker" simply changed the DNS settings in the dashboard and did not at any time have access to the linustechtips.com server. Any claims of a database dump are categorically false.
 
The compromised accounts - including Twitter - have been restored.
 
I hope this clears things up.

So you can afford 2x 1080's, but cant upgrade to like a 900w+ PSU?
 
I doubt youll need more than 1 1080. Buy 1 now, and when you actually need it add another, plus it will be much cheaper by then. Use that money saved to upgrade the PSU.

Ok, well if you think I still should, I guess I'll try it. I'll report back news to everyone of how it went later!

DeepCool PWM Fan HUB.

Can't you just screw the bottom stand-offs out, and screw them into the correct holes in the case?

yeah check for whatever the last few add-ons you installed before the problem happened but this does come when using VPN's normally..... 

What add-ons are you running with Chrome? You might also have something that is blocking the website from knowing what browser you're using. 

Sorry, I had to,

Right I found this and it works like a charm and also has a few more extra bits so something you may want to try

(Its a google doc zip file so download, scan and then unzip for software and english instruction set ) 
 
also cleared by virus scan myself and no issue like the other program so that one is out and this on is in! time to start fiddling
 
Thanks by the way! 

Weird... I just took out a CPU to see what model it was, put it back in and it works, the whole thing sounds like 10 R9 290 References at 100% Fan speed though

hmm... i think the AIO is possibly dead
tweak it in bios to run at 100% and see how it goes?

Thanks for your help guys. I didn't even think of the SATA I vs. SATA III.

Spend that money on a better pc and use an emulator to play retro console games.

use windows desktop setting?
 
im doing the same thing with my potato pc so i know what you're attempting

Yeah i understand what your saying now so the male pins go in to the female connector 
and the female pins go in to the male connector?

try uninstall your current driver using DDU and install an older driver like the 361.xx or 362.xx, 361.91 for example
 
the newest drivers are causing issue with multi monitor setup as well as 144hz displays

that is really hot for an all in one water cooler to be honest....did you apply thermal paste and the cooler tight on the cpu?
 
and far as 'how do you know if everything is working'
if the system has turned on and you have installed an operating system that's a pretty good indicator you're on the right track! 
 
If there is smoke or flames then turn everything off....quickly if it is flames
 
But you really shouldn't be seeing the CPU at those temps, what CPU are you using and is that the idle speed, i.e. when you just looking at the desktop and not running any programs, or are you bench marking or playing a game/encoding video etc

Settings > Update and Security > Activation
Then hit activate product key, or change product key and punch your key in. Worked fine for me when I changed hardware.
