Redlynx

Anyone using Mushkin redline? They used to be the best back in the day. All the serious hardcore overclockers used to run this ram. It seems like they have disappeared. Can't find them on userbenchmark. I'm not really into aggressive looking ram, but something that looks classy like the redlines. If anyone can confirm they are still good I'll buy it. Thank you.

Hey all, I have three questions if you guys won't mind answering - 1. Can you mix different types of tubing? (assuming it's hardline and have same size/fittings) 2. Can you have a bay and tube reservoir? (bay at the bottom and tube in the front) 3. Can you paint RAM PCB without affecting temp? Cheers

These are the ones I have looked into.

Thank you all. Great suggestions. As for 8700k - I'm not sure if you guys know this but Z370 motherboards have voltage issues. Not gonna buy until they fix it. Acer X34 is a great monitor, but I heard it suffers from Backlight bleeding. PG348Q is better in that regard I think. @Sanc - That's a decent amount of savings there mate. Will look into it. What do you think about Thermaltake View 71 or P5 (Both priced at $200-210).

Hey all, I've few questions regarding my new build. I'm not sure if this is the right forum as it's mostly about monitors and liquid cooling. I thought instead of posting on two different sub forums I'll just post it here. The PC would be used in the following order - Gaming -> CAD -> Video Rendering -> Movies/Internet etc. With that in mind here are my questions - Monitor - Would you recommend Triple Monitor setup (144Hz - 1080p) over single 4K? I play all sorts of games. Triple monitor should be good for productivity, immersion and racing sims I believe. Although I'm not sure if I can live with those bezels. As for 4k it's self-explanatory. Liquid Cooling - Do you think it's worth getting? I've never build a liquid cooled PC. This would be my first time. After seeing my mate's liquid cooled PC my interest has been reignited which is why I'm contemplating. The only problem I have is the maintenance and leakage. Draining and cleaning seems like a daunting task. Also I don't want to ruin my PC and the cost of paying someone to build is around $500. List of parts for reference - I believe it's a good build, but feel free to suggest a better alternative. Price in $AUD. Cheers.

Hey all, So according to my ISP's speed test, my connection speed is fast, but in reality the download speed is just horrible. Router: ASUS RT - AC68U I'm on 100 Mbps connection - Australia. Download Speed Test results from ISP's website is always over 90 Mbps which is obviously not true. Speed after midnight and early morning: Download Speed - 95 Mbps = 12 MBps (roughly) Speed between 5 pm - 11 pm Download Speed - 10 Mbps = 1.25 MBps (Real time) Another thing - Before I used to do speed test on Speedtest.net, my speeds would be the same as mentioned above. Now that I have told my ISP things have changed. Even the speedtest.net shows speeds over 90 Mbps everytime. I have tried various other websites which cleary show slow download speeds. Do you think there is a Router problem or something to do with my computer (unlikely IMO)? Or it's clearly congestion. I'm thinking to terminate my contract without penalty and I have plenty of screenshots. I'll have to take it to Telecommunications. Any help appreciated. Cheers

I have played beta and this expansion is even worse than WOD. For PVE, I'm not sure, but for PVP I would stay away.

I don't do PVE, but for PVP I would stay away.

Hey guys, New to the forum. I'm building a new PC after 4 years. I'll be using it for Gaming, CAD and Video rendering and I want to make sure it's future proof as I won't be upgrading frequently like you enthusiasts :D. My current PC build in brief - i5 3570/ Gtx 670, 8gb Ram and I play on 1080p monitor. This time, however, I'm not sure if some of the parts are overkill/ not needed/ not worth. I will list the prices next to the parts as Australian prices are well GG^^. List: CPU: Intel i7 4790K or i7 6700K - $520 vs $490 Mobo: ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming – $250 GPU: GTX 1080 or wait for 1080 Ti? -1080 is $1,200. Titan X in Australia would cost well over $2,000. RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 2400Mhz 16GB (2X8GB) – $110 SSD: PCI-E or M2? Some recommendation would be great. HDD: WD 4TB Black – $350 PSU: Corsair RM750x Gold 750W – $180 Cooling: Noctua NH-D15s – $125 Case: Corsair Graphics 780T Black – $250 OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit OEM – $200 Sound Card: Worth it or should I get an external DAC/AMP? I have heard some good reviews about Essence Xonar STX II Monitor: I currently have a 24" 1080p 60Hz Monitor and I want to upgrade to a 1440P 144Hz or 4K. I'm not sure. 1. ASUS PG348Q 34" 4K – $1,800 2. ASUS PG279Q 27" 1440P 165Hz ROG Swift – $1,200 Cheers.

As a high rated arena player (6x Gladiator/1X Rank 1 in various seasons of WOW) and having played lot of MMOs I would say it depends if you're into PVE or PVP. Unlike your traditional fps/racing games - MMO PVP requires more skill (perhaps different type of skill set if I'm using the right term) and is far more rewarding as you're playing real people. Unlike FPS for instance - run,shoot, hide, follow objective etc PVP in MMO is far more demanding IMO. Offcourse this isn't the case in every game. You can play against real people in COD, Battlefield, Counterstrike etc, but I'm just saying in general. Take WOW for example - You need combination of game knowledge, class knowledge, CD management, fast reflex/judgement, situational awareness, positioning, team synergy, efficient crowd control, astute timing etc to succeed in Arena (3v3). When I played Hunter, I had well over 50 keybinds and I played at the time when they were not highly represented in competitive PVP. It doesn't really matter now as they have dumbed down the game for casuals. I quit WOW and usually just play on private servers. Other MMO's have bigger class diversity, but they are not as polished as wow. PVP is not competitive. So, yeah. You can try Blade and soul. Really good combat style, fast paced, competitive 1v1 system.
