    Wix got a reaction from Qub3d in Microsoft further cracks down on Kaby Lake and Ryzen usage on Windows 7 and 8.1   
    That is.. a bad analogy.
     
    I daresay that Microsoft is even becoming worse than Apple regarding the locking down, restricting, gimping, controlling, and forcing the users of their OS.

    Wix got a reaction from mrchow19910319 in Mobility vs looks   
    I wanted to try building an ITX system before even without any plan to move it around. I ended up spending way more than a regular ATX system (SFX PSU, flat ribbon cables, FT03-mini case, AIO cooler, m.2 ssd).
     
    The increased desk space is nice tho.

    Wix got a reaction from Nicnac in Little stickers on a laptop/PC, do you keep them?   
    I understand placing stickers on the laptop lid (behind the screen) for personalization purposes but I don't want to become a walking advertisement for companies; to each his own tho.

    Don't buy unless you see the health / data written report - like looking at the mileage when buying a used car.
     
    Still, I wouldn't put important data on used storage devices.

    I'd like to see you just use a LAN / wired cable for your PC / smartphone / laptop instead of WiFi. If you won't, you're lazy.
     
    I don't get why you people detest technological progress like this. Man invented the chainsaw so he can chop trees faster than with an axe.
     
    Technological progress / invention is not about being lazy, it's about being efficient.

    Wix got a reaction from BaneOfKnoll in CPU or GPU bound? CAD software   
    I can only speak for AutoCAD 2D (blueprints and floor plans) and it is CPU bound. It runs fine on integrated graphics even on the busiest of blueprints.
     
    i5-6600k and i7-6700 both ran without hiccups.
     
    My laptop's i7-3537u (dual core with hyperthreading) struggles, however.

    Wix got a reaction from Bensemus in Creative Sound Blaster keyboard and mouse   
    As Bensemus pointed out, having RGB peripherals / components doesn't mean you have to leave it at the rainbow disco show configuration; it just gives you the option (sometimes) to set the color to whatever color scheme your rig has going. It's better than being stuck with a blue LED keyboard when you have a black and red themed rig.

    Wix reacted to Bensemus in Creative Sound Blaster keyboard and mouse   
    I don't see what's wrong with RGB. Few to no one has them doing the rainbow pattern. They just have the option to set the colour to whatever they want or off. It just gives more options to people.

    I'm willing to bet at max you're in the 300* watt range. A quality 450w unit is fine for an itx box.

    You may want to bump up to a 500w just to be safe, or really pay attention to how much of an overclock you apply.

    You should be okay especially if it handled your previous setup.  The 1070 uses slightly less power than the 970, and going from an i5 to i7 may only add a few more watts at max.  Quality over wattage.

    Thanks for quoting his whole block of text; i would have never known that you were referring to him otherwise.
     
    AMD is the underdog - that's why they need all the PR they can get.

    Hell, you can even host your own rave party beside your PC if you deck it out with all the RGB products coming out.
