    Necrobump. Got the phone back today, was working perfectly for a couple of hours and then began having EXACTLY the same issues as before, so I guess it's not a result of my "damage" like they thought. So I really hope for OP's sake that they refund me and fix it for free because this is completely unacceptable. Ica

    Dear LTT Forum, Over a month ago I sent in my OP5 to go through RMA due to the touch screen not working (back and recent buttons plus the touch display were not responding), after extended periods of being powered off the screen would work for a few minutes at best before going back to being non-responsive. After working through countless emails back and forth, printing out 7 different sheets of paper and waiting for a courier to be sent to my house (the first weird thing about the RMA) to be told I'm missing 2 more sheets that I wasn't sent until I spoke to them again, eventually after a month of beginning the process the phone left my house and got to them. The list of things that really gave red flags -They asked for my phone password (which depending on the circumstances is in breach of Australian Data Security laws) -The extremely long and convoluted process in order to even get the phone to them -After receiving my password they were auto-magically able to determine that the cause of the screen losing function was this small piece of damage which is not even on the touchable part of the display -Are so far unable to give me a reason as to why they needed the password in the first place -Why do you need a software password when the issue is entirely hardware based -I am expected to pay for what seems like a cop out result when the phone is still under warranty -The damage in the image occurred at least 3 months before the phone started having issues, further leading me to believe that the damage and problem are not at all related Overall the amount of stress and frustration this experience has caused me is beyond acceptable, OnePlus say Never Settle: I can safely say that I'm not going to settle until this mess is cleared up.

    I can't actually use whoever I wish as far as I know, OnePlus provided for me labels to use with my package. They were unable to tell me exactly what to do with the 7 different pieces I had to print out provided by them, the logistics and shipping company I have to use (as provided on the labels OnePlus gave me) is called DPEX

    Hey there LTT Forum, I purchased the OnePlus 5 after a very very long time researching my phone choice upgrading from a hand-me-down iPhone 5s, to be honest I was sold after watching the LLT review on it... The phone is incredible and all of it's QoL features just make use of the phone a breeze, however roughly over a year into my use of the phone the touch display stopped functioning along with the "recent" and "back" buttons. The display functions and shows a display but I cannot touch or make use of it at all outside of the physical buttons. I sent in the RMA request and so far the process has been...interesting: rather than be shipped out a RTS parcel to drop my phone in, along with the charger/cable and ship it back to OP I am expected to purchase a parcel, print out labeling and wait for a courier to come to my house to pick up the package from me directly. This does seem a little strange and outside of the normal for RMA requests...now I love the phone and I still favour OP these RMA difficulties have shaken my loyalty to the brand a little. What are your thoughts? Icarus

    Neither of them are 144hz but are otherwide perfect monitors bar the price tag.

    Monitors have come a long...long way from their birth. And with the upgrade of a 1080ti (or whatever equivalent is available at the time) I would like to add a new monitor to my system. Preferably, one with the following specs... -1440p -Ultrawide -IPS Display -144hz refresh rate -G-Sync It would also have to be available in Australia, for obvious reasons. Information even would be awesome. Cheers, Icarus

    G'day OP, The first thing I found (that made me chuckle a little) is the 4.6mhz, yes that's a typo I know. No mention of a GPU? It would help greatly to let us know. Aside from that, if you're playing more modern games like stated in your post then Ryzen is definitely compelling, CoffeeLake is...well a valid upgrade if you can justify the added cost, especially coming from such an older architecture. This is just a think once write once so any specific questions I'll be able to answer properly. Regards, Icarus

    The entire album Toxic Minds by Scythelord (Joel from Vinesauce) Buuuut that just finished so the Norwegian Black Metal group Mayhem. Yes I like metal, hello to you too <3

    G'day OP. Should be fine but you'll be pushing power limits. I always like to check PCPartPicker for their handy Power Draw calculator, simply "Start a New Build" and enter the parts you're using and voila! The power draw is calculated, use the numbers from that to see whether you'd like to bump it up or even down. Regards, Icarus

    No. Not okay. Not acceptable. Comic Sans is a nono.

    I will vouch for all ASUS cards, Poseidon card so far has had the best water overclock that I've seen.

    Concept Slate from Corsair

    Bump. I was right. Woop Woop

    Cool. Jokes aside, I can vouch for Fractals lineup, quiet, cold and strong. I personally have the Kelvin S36 on my 7700k, keeps everything below 60C at stock, and just below 69-70C when at 5Ghz.

    I recommend watching the Teardown of the MSI Lightning 1080ti, find out just how pointless those 3 power plugs are....
  16. Icarus_
    Yes, it's taking the piss of current YouTube videos. Taking the article with a grain of salt but rumour is better than nothing...

    Something for the WAN Show?? http://wccftech.com/intel-coffee-lake-core-i7-8700k-core-i5-8600k-6-core-cpu-leak/

    I'd have two systems in it of course, one for streaming/capturing. One for gaming/export. It's gonna be great.
  19. Icarus_
    Agreed. I want, nay; I need.

    I personally am really excited for Corsair's Concept Slate. That. Radiator. Support. Yes.

    I use the Strix 1070, it's the best card I've ever used hands down. It's essentially a near-silent heatsink that also happens to push graphics at the same time, After a few hours of benchmarking I've never seen the card go above 61c (Custom fan curve, very slightly over the normal curve) The neutral colour scheme fits with any sort of build as well, as the LED's can be changed to be whatever colour you desire, or off if it suits you. TL:DR Strix card best card. Regards, Icarus

    Hey there, What information can you guys give me about the Concept Slate? It's my new dream Custom Loop case, replacing the Enthoo Elite as my top case. I know it's insane radiator support but is there any extra information you can give me about it? Cheers, Icarus
  23. Icarus_
    5htz is very low kappa
  24. Icarus_
    I have no words. *incomprehensible slew of murmuring as I back into a corner and assume the fetal position* That is a ridiculous radiator, they also make them in 3x3 140mm variant too. At this point, just make your own case.
  25. Icarus_
    If you look carefully, when they go to mount the heatsink, a spec of dust falls onto the clean, pure surface of the plate. My everything hurt so much seeing that happen. I did actually comment about it on the video
