I'm able to purchase a Philips H2XR for $229CAD, or a HD 58X for $170USD ($230 CAD + import fees). I plan on using the headphones primarily for EDM with a bit of gaming (such as in R6S), and I'm not sure which headphones I should get (or if there are any others I can purchase in Canada). I'm currently upgrading from the SHP9500S I'm leaning towards the H2XR as it has a 3.5mm jack, so I'm able to reuse my VMODA boom mic and not spend money on a new microphone. If I go for the HD 58X, I'd have to purchase a new microphone such as the Fifine USB mic ($60, plus a mic arm for it). However, aside from that I'm not sure what other factors I should be considering for deciding which headphones I should purchase and I'd really appreciate your input.

Hey guys, I just installed a Vega 64 Nitro+, however when I'm looking at the GPU's fan RPM and fan speed, they're both listed as 0. I can see the fans spinning in the GPU itself however. Has anyone had this problem before and if it's a software bug on the latest AMD drivers, or if I'd need to return it. Edit: Looking back at the instructions guide, there seems to be a fan controller cable that is needed. Would this solve the issue, and how do I install it? (I am confused at the diagram.) Edit again, going into deeper research, that does not seem to be related to this issue. Edit: Interesting, sensors do work as it reports fan speed & rpm after I ran the sapphire trixx fan health check. Still can't control fan speeds.

I'm looking at the list for a 750W PSU to power a build with the main power usage coming from a nitro+ vega 64, however in Canada I'm unable to find any of the 750W Tier A+ or Tier S psu's directly sold from Amazon, Newegg, or Canada Computers except for the BitFenix Formula 80 Plus Gold 750W, and BitFenix Whisper M 750W. Should I purchase one of these, and If so, which one? Otherwise what are my next best options for buying a reliable 750W psu, hopefully within $150CAD? I can go a bit above if needed.

Wait, so my RX 580 has an ASIC for AMF, meaning I don't need to continue using my R7 370?

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my pcie bus interface for my two graphics cards. Primary is a RX 580 used for playing games, while my secondary card is an R7 370 used for encoding my streams with AMF. The problem is, my R7 370 is not able to get above x4 2.0 under load and is therefore hindering the maximum resolution & fps I can allow the stream to be encoded on. I'm using an i7 3770, and in intel's page, it says I should be able to get 2 x8's for my pcie configuration, instead of one x16 and one x4. My motherboard is a Asus P8H77-M PRO.

The Dollar isn't backed by gold anymore, allowing bankers to inflate it to high ratios. Now you see the interest in cryptocurrencies?

I saw a good deal on a RX 580 4GB, and 580 8GB. Was going to the GTX 1060 if I hadn't seen that sale.

Is it justifiable to pay another $60 CAD for a 8GB variant of an RX 580 if it's going to be used for around 3 years, compared to the 4GB model? I'm aiming for 1080p 60FPS with the latest titles.

Hey guys, so my MSI Afterburner 4.40 Beta 12 not working on Windows 10 Creators Update, on the latest AMD drivers of 17.9.2. My issue is that as soon as I click the desktop shortcut, or the .exe file for it, it hangs on for a millisecond, and disappears out of thin air. Now, while I could downgrade to the 4.30 version, I can't overclock with that, as the moment I apply my overclock, my core clock speed gets locked to 150mhz.

Hi, so I have a Acer Swift 3, (IPS, matte display version if it helps) and I was wondering if it was fine to wipe the screen in circular motions, and then dry it off in straight lines, with 91% isopropyl rubbing alcohol. I've heard that you should not do that because newer laptop screens have a coating.

I'm looking for some budget earbuds, that are around $15CAD. Can pay more if it's value is much better, mainly using them for listening to EDM on my portable device. I prefer to be able to buy the earbuds from a place in Canada.

Resolution? In general for 1080p gaming, you'd be fine with either 2gb's or 4gb's. Also, the GTX 1050ti has 4gb's of vram.

Think about it, the PCB becomes the motherboard, the GPU becomes the CPU, the VRAM becomes the RAM or M.2 SSD in terms of how it's installed, you can pick a selection of coolers/shrouds, and etc. So incase you dont care about the best overclocking, you could tone it down with a cheaper PCB, and use that saved money for either your wallet, or better GPU. Want some more VRAM? Well just pop some in!

Used a program called SharpKeys, where I can type in the key I want to change.

The problem with that program, is that button does not show up on that program.

Hi, so I just got a laptop, but it has a mini shiftkey on the left side, followed by a backslash key, as seen here. I was wondering if I could make that back slash key, also into a shift button, so that I wont accidentally hit that button when aiming for the left shift. Thanks.

It was around night at the time I wrote it, so by mistake I wrote / instead of x for some portions. Anyways, maybe my formula was wrong, as my formula was usually the one told around mining forums for calculating power costs. But my point was that I dont understand why people are arguing over power costs for a gtx 1080 vs vega 64, when instead they should be doing gtx 1080ti vs vega 64, since they both cost the same, but the gtx 1080ti is more powerful.

No, I got a 100W delta, the 300/600 Ryan said is a general comparision. From my understanding, a stock GTX 1080 pulls 300~ Watts. http://www.anandtech.com/show/11717/the-amd-radeon-rx-vega-64-and-56-review/19

I'm assuming you missed a step, you're calculating the power cost if it was a 1000 watts, (kw = 1000watts) that, or my eyes skipped a part where you divide the h/kw by a number that makes 1000 into your output wattage. Also the difference in wattage compared to a GTX 1080 and RX VEGA 64 is a 100 watts. Not 300.

If thats the case, how does "Tell me, if you take ten hairdryers that all run at the same temperature, do you think the room is going to be hotter if you turn one of them on or all ten?" make sense with all of this? From my understanding, I assume that the hairdryers are a metaphor for graphics card.

That's what I'm thinking.

There is no such thing has running a RX VEGA 64 in crossfire with 10 cards.

So the power difference price would be about $85.44. But if a person can spend upwards of $500 on these cards, would they mind it a ton? If they did, wouldn't they also stabily undervolt the card?

From what I've seen, (I'm not an owner of a high end card), people with high end cards are usually said to upgrade every 2-3 years. Along with that, in 3 years the power price difference using the average american power usage (13 cents a kw/h) is $85.44

I guess you are right about the power cost, but wont that triple the power pricing for a GTX 1080 by 2-3 times too? (assuming its 30 cents a kw/h) And if people were to play for more than 6 hours, they can double my results to get a 12 hour result, or use the provided formula, and calculate with there statistics! Anyways, a GTX 1080 is a 1 degree difference than an RX VEGA 64 http://www.anandtech.com/show/11717/the-amd-radeon-rx-vega-64-and-56-review/19
