8BitBuilder reacted to Mug in Why the xbox one and ps4 both failed in their own ways:
You'd be surprised.
Yes, PC gaming is growning but so many people just want to sit on the couch and play a few matches of cod.

It will be cheaper to just buy a taffy and squeeze it.

8BitBuilder reacted to LeStringMan in Rx480 or Gtx1060
The Red Devil's vrms are slightly lower quality than the reference card, because the have a lower temperature tolerance, so a well known AMD overclocker made a youtube video about these vrms saying they were not good, but he was specifically talking about high overcooks (1400 mhz plus clockspeeds, ln2, that kind of stuff.) so a bunch of people saw this video and took it out of context that it is a poorly made pcb, but the truth is that the Red Devil RX480 is perfectly fine as long as you are running the default bios you wont hurt it (Powercolor has several bios available for this card quiet mode, oc mode and unlocked i believe, the unlocked bios is the one that can cause problems when upping voltage, with stock bios you pretty much cant put enough voltage through it to hurt the gpu or vrm.)

8BitBuilder reacted to Growlithe in need advice/help with uncle's decision of building a pc?
Since money isn't an issue
Assuming the IT Course he's taking is being ran by Cisco, you'll want enough RAM to run a virtual machine (+16GB) At least a quad core CPU that supports virtualization, a couple TB of storage
So heres my recommendations
120/240/256GB SSD (whatever capacity you like for host os)
2TB WD Blue or Black (your choice, Black costs more because its faster)
If you want that kind of room, a i7-6700/7700(k is optional, your choice)
Z170/H170 based motherboard, You cant go wrong with Asus (if non k go for a H170, if k go for a Z170)
16GB of whatever RAM you like (you can't go wrong with HyperX(higher speed is typically better)
GPU is really whatever suits whatever kind of games you want to play, if you want to max 1080p and high 1440p go for a 1070, I have the FTW and I love it.
If you're a casual gamer go for the 1060 from a nice brand like Evga or Asus
for Power supply 750w~ is a bit overkill but, eh
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vHBtr7 This is what I would do. Make sure you get a copy of windows if your curriculum is taught by cisco, they have a chapter on Windows
I'd do it now so you get the experience.

8BitBuilder reacted to OsuMasterz in When Can I buy a 7700k
TBH they shouldn't even be announcing that they launched the chips, they should say that privately to the reviewers that get the samples and the reviewer will tell the audience when the chips can be bought..

8BitBuilder reacted to 0ld_Chicken in [US/CAN][Retail Edge] 6700k for $109 or 6850k for $169
ugh, I hate this. I always get the same feeling of "so close, yet, so far"

8BitBuilder reacted to Unexas. in What's the best CPU thermal paste?
An even application of it will effect temps more than the brand.

8BitBuilder reacted to Shiv78 in Another Samsung Phone starts Exploding...
Honestly the chances of it being either a scam, a guy who doesn't know what phone he owns, or user error are much higher than those of it actually being defective. The S7 has been out for like 9 months, it only took like 9 days for people to have exploding Note7s. He probably either damaged his phone or owns a Note7 that someone told him was an S7 when they sold it to him lmao

8BitBuilder reacted to Xanthe_2871 in Another Samsung Phone starts Exploding...
This is crazy. Over 100 Samsung Note 7s explode. Then 5 different iPhone 7's explode. Now S7s? I think the lesson here is, avoid products with the number 7!

8BitBuilder reacted to dalekphalm in How the hell do you remove one of these light fixtures
Most of those ceiling fixtures have a "nut" in the exact center, at the lowest part of the fixture. Yours does not seem to have that.
You probably have to twist the entire glass - make sure you're turning it counter-clockwise (to the left, starting from the top). Try wiggling it back and forth to loosen it. You could also take the picture in to your local hardware store to ask for assistance - they often employ people who are pretty good "handymen".

15 years after Ballmer called Linux a cancer still, a lot can happen in 15 years. Like Ballmer not being the CEO.
