I have a few tamest tools and have thought about having a look at the board itself, my pc does have a 3 year no questions asked warrentry so it will be fixed I was just thinking maybe it’s some think I could fix, other than having another board or cpu I’m not sure what else to test, don’t power no matter what I do unless I unplug the cpu power connection could it be a short or bad capacitor maybe ? Any really cheap z270 CPU’s I could get used ? To test it

So I like a dumb ass knocked my pc off the desk, damaged the case and now it won’t power on. However if I disconnect the 6/8pin cpu power connector the pc will run(no display or nothink but stays on). Dead CPU or motherboard ?

Hi all, Question: have any of you actually used one and did it work for you, I have looked into a few and most are(or look like) scams, any recommended ones, not looking to makes millions or anythink stupid but im willing to leaaarn and have moneyu to invest in it too see what its like. note: first looked in to bitcon trader/revelation but there both known as dodgy, they have a very high loss rate overall, sites state that 70% loss all there money Now don't get me wrong I know the risks and the money I have I can afford to lose it but would like it to make a little extra on the side. thanks all for reading

im not an expert but looking at them 2 cpu's (2135 & 2145) then for your work I would say the 2145, just for the extra cores, if you can use the extra cores which you probley would then I would say the 2145. Like above there is more core options if you can use a different cpu stats 2135 vs 2145

update: finally got round to changing the switch, was really easy and I a novice with the soldering iron

awesome I will try that hopefully it fixes it thanks all for the help

I have the clear ones with the red centre, the top part of the caseing of the switch has come apart, wont go bk on and will pop off if I try. I don't mind soldering one switch but not all of them to fix one, I would just get a new one. Would like to try fix it though.

Hi all, toda the "y" key broke, but the top of the actual cherry switch has come off. So 1: can I replace the switch and 2: how hard is it, do I have to remove all the switchs to get the one switch out ? 3: best place to get real mx reds ?

I to use the k95 and I think its better suited as a gaming board, I would think the slimmer membrane boards would do better for typing ?

I like the 30+ inch ultrawides not a fan of 1080p ones either but if you can not gert the 3440x1440p then the 29 inch one is good for its cost

looks ok, watch out for clearance if your mounting the cooler rad at the top as mine was super close to the ram sticks, maybe the vrm heatsink might touch, may have to mount it at the front. When I added the fans on mine I was sooo close. If it was mee I would wait see what the new gpus are like

yh they have but maybe that's because there is new ones coming so they want rid of "old" stock

wait to see what comes out in a month or 2

not worth it unless ur using liquid metal

1080p would really be on 24’s andb1440p on 27’s, I game at 1080p on triple 24’s and it is good, most times it’s racing games or world of tanks so my 1070/7700k handles it well, I was all hyped to do triple screen gaming and for a while it is good fun but for me got a little boaring after a while, now I’m looking at getting another display like I had before(Acer Predator X34A) and use that for gaming and use 2 of the 24’s for other tasks and not bother going triple screen gaming at all.

what is the case ?

sounds rather creepy lol

Also yes I have had an ultawide and no it was not a rubbish one lol it was the Acer X34a so it was beast but wasn’t for me when racing and was annoying when games would black bar it

I have triple 24’s wall mounted and use a 1070, don’t do much triple screen gaming but if I do it’s good fun. Mostly for racing games though, was going to go with 27’s but didn’t like 1080p on it so decided for 24’s, triple 27’s @ 1440p would be nice but would need a decent card to run it

Yh in some games it is worth it but not a lot support it that’s the biggest issue, in a few months you change the game you play that don’t support sli and you have to rely on a single 1070 when you could have had a 1080 or 1080ti

I wouldn’t buy a gpu now at least until the new ones come out, the new ones maybe not be that much better than a 1080ti maybe only 20% faster but then as not much info is out about them they may be 40-50% faster who knows, I wouldn’t drop 800$ on a card now knowing that a new ones coming then thinking to myself I should have waited, it’s your money at the end of it so the choice is yours but I would wait and see what the new ones are like then make my choice. Good luck choosing lol

Like others say I would wait, seems to me you have been playing with the 970 and it seems to do ok for now, I would only say get a 1080 now if the 970 is unplayable on any of the games you play, if it’s ok for a few more months then wait for the new gpu’s

As the title says

Directly comparing 8086K and 8700K shows that for a $100 (24%) price premium you get around a 5% performance improvement which drops to around 2% when both chips are overclocked

iof it was me and my money I would go 1080, ti's are just way to over priced compared to 1080's, @p most cards will last a year or 2 but I would go for the 1080 incase I wanted to up the res in a year or somethink
