  1. Same, for once I'd like a phone I can reach with one hand (I remember when 6 inches was considered tablet size ) I looked at the XZ1 too but that glass seems to scratch with the slightest bit of pocket-lint and the sound never compared to HTC's.
  2. A 5 inch phone with top specs AND stereo front speakers? Fiiiiiinally time to trade in my HTC One M7 (maybe not my Axon 7 yet though)
  3. The pump probably doesn't run or barely runs until its gaming which would be normal on GTX 980 and 1080 cards with good cooling. Some manufacturers include software for overclocking and controlling fan/pump speeds. (Asus usually supply AI Suite/Fan Xpert, etc). If you're using an EVGA Hybrid though I don't think they include any controls so you might need to flash a ROM with the pump speed settings/voltages, but that's a bit complicated at this stage. Assuming you have an EVGA 980ti Hybrid, I did some looking and a few people reported the sound but it went away after a few days. Others reported no change and RMA'd the card. http://forums.evga.com/980-Ti-Hybrid-Pump-Constant-Buzzing-Noise-RMA-m2361427.aspx I'd give it a few days and see what happens first.
  4. It's probably bubbles. If so, it should clear up after a few days once the bubbles make their way out/to the top of the system. Less likely, but possible is the pump is running at max speed, might want to check your settings and see if you can drop the speed a bit see if it improves.
  5. I've been using the Roccat Nyth for a while now after years of using the Razer Naga. (Ya, I'm a MMORPGer, I need all the buttons I can get for them macros) I though Razer's build quality was good, but Roccat beat them with this. The size can also be varied (it comes with 3 bits you can add to reduce or increase width) there are 12 buttons on the side but you can swap them out for 1 large, 2 large or several medium to small buttons as needed. And, best of all they support 3D printed parts so you can technically mould the mouse to your needs. The sensor and buttons are plenty sensitive and easily adjustable on the mouse or in software. Speaking of which: Your profiles are stored on the mouse itself - so unlike Razer who store profiles in the cloud, you don't need to worry about losing net, their servers going down for days (as happened last year), or about software compatibility with other OSes (yay for us Linux users )
  6. A common point of failure for controller cables is usually at the ends. Either the part inside the controller has come loose at the soldering spot or it's broken from the connector side. It'll probably be easier to check inside the controller first unless there are any obvious tears or breakages along the cable length.
  7. "Best" is relative to your budget. If you can afford it, look for something marketed as a 24 Hour-use chair. You likely won't use it that long, but chairs built to that standard are well-built and will last you ages. They're also better suited to long gaming sessions. I got me one of these years ago http://www.kabseating.com/office/product.asp?product=79&grouptype=app&groupid=8&appid=28 and it's still perfect (I'm not sure you'll find them outside of Europe though). Cheaper chairs tend tend to fail after a few years in my experience. There are a lot of manufacturers out there who market "Gaming chairs" which look great and may even feel comfortable for the first few weeks, but don't do well long-term (the foam flattens, lift or movement parts fail, plastic bits break off).
  8. So this appeared in my YouTube. The series isn't that bad
