Yeah...but WHY?
If the cost was around 10 $ it might have been an option but at that price, it's not even worth the time to make it work.

How is it at work? I m thinking of getting a second ducky for the office(developer here) but don't really know how they would feel about the noise. It's gonna be either brown or clear switches.

Hope you all saw that 16 core beast reveal. Don't need to make a new post about it.!!!

mine was Amd Phenom II x965 Black Edition is same as yours?

Yeah exactly the same. Along with 2x HD 6950. Now a gtx 1070.

I'm kind surprised for such low wattage since my last cpu was amd phenom ii x4 965 which burned 2x 550 psu(without oc) and with 630w managed to be ok, and now i took intel and current build is 10x times more powerful and uses almost same psu wattage as my old one.

hahaha i feel you man. I currently have a phenom ii x4 965 with a 650 watt psu from 2009. It's a hungry beast.

so.. for gtx 1080ti and i7-8700k if I want in future to oc 1080ti ~+500mhz and i7-8700k to 5.0ghz it would be fully enough to have 650, right?

Yup!!

Alright thanks guys! I'm hyped!

Should I be worried about the Corsair 550W PSU?

Here is a list of available psus

- Thermaltake Smart RGB 700W (PS-SPR-0700NHSAWE-1) (is that one actually good? I've read different opinions)

- Corsair CX Series CX550 (CP-9020121-EU)

- Corsair CX Series 550M (CP-9020102-EU)

- Seasonic M12II-520 EVO Edition (SS-520GM2)

- Corsair CX Series 650M (CP-9020103-EU)

- Corsair TX-M Series 550W (CP-9020133-EU)

And then some more expensive seasonic psus.

Did you get the psu yet? If not, better go for a be quiet straight power 550 although it's a bit more expensive.

Is the MSI B450 tomahawk available to you? 

Yup it is

@Stormseeker9 It is! It's also cheaper. Do you think I'll be fine with this?

Go for the Tomahawk. Saw it before a few days on skroutz for around 100 €.

the 15% IPC makes the 3600 effectively a 4.8Ghz 2600, which makes it nearly 25% faster.

I really can't understand some people. They wanted a 15 Watts AMD 9900K  for 100 $ but guess what.

I was planning to build a new PC and was really hyped for the new R5 3rd gen. I was expecting a bit more then small improvements for a 200 dollar price tag. Especially when the 2600 is selling in the 140s.

 

At this rate people are just going to buy the 2600 once the price drops.

Then go buy the 2600. 15% improvement from previous gen might be worth it for some people and it's not only that but the whole chipset improvements. I really don't know what you were expecting. In the end why don't you go and buy the athlon 200GE which costs 50 bucks? It's a heck of a value for the price.

For me the R5 3600 is a bit of a disappointment. Still 6 cores, only ~0.3 GHz more boost clock, etc.

 

3rd gen architecture better be a real deal breaker because right now R5 2600 with a stealth cooler is still 50 dollars cheaper then MSRP for the 3600.

It's called IPC improvement. More boost clock is just an added bonus for us.

I couldn't give less of a shit about Epic at this point. But I wouldn't mind launcher that combines Steam, Origin and Battle.net. You know, platforms not run by dicks. Imagine the world where I actually like Origin and hate something else. LOL where have we come...

Exactly my thought. They actually made us hate EA less. How the heck was that possible?

If i had to pick one that would be the Bioshock series.

System specs: (HP Compaq DC5800 MT w/upgrades)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650
Intel Q33 Express based motherboard
8GB (4x2GB) DDR2 800Mhz
EVGA Geforce GTX 670 FTW 2GB
120GB Mushkin Source
1TB Seagate Constellation ES.2
Corsair CX550 Bronze

In my opinion it's all about RAM. I loved windows 7(my favorite OS) but if RAM>=2 GB then use Windows 10. If RAM<2 GB then use Windows XP 32 bit or a Linus distro.
In any case you have a strong machine that can support easily windows 10 so i don't think there should be a question in the first place.

Laptops are as follows

Acer nitro 5 an515-52

Asus TUF FX505DY

Asus TUF FX504GD-E4021T

Well i would go with the second one with the r5 if i had to choose one. In my country it costs 750 € (8 gb ram, 256 gb ssd, rx 560, FHD). If i could buy something else i would go with a DELL just because of the warranty.

you can find "AMD only" Ram that isn't supported on most intel boards.

I thought that was a DDR2 thing. Didn't know it exists on newer ram too.

Hi,

I'm building a cheap and little power-full PC for my friend. I bought PC (AMD Phenome II x4 965, GA-78LMT-S2P).

Now i need 8 GB RAM, and here is problem. I know that DRR3 RAM's have this Intel and AMD compatibility, but how i can tell the difference from 2nd hand deals?

I currently have a working Phenom 965(old but gold) paired with the old corsair vengeance blue dimms(1333 or 1600). So i can confirm they will work for you. In any case there isn't any intel or amd compatibility with rams. It's more of a socket compatibility.

I don't know very much about Noctua fans since I am a bit of a corsair fanboy. But I am going to be upgrading my system and getting new fans/cooler for it soon. Are Noctua fans really that much better than the top of the line corsair fans? I couldn't find any tests that put them up against the LL series. Also if I am thinking about a air cooler instead of an AIO, any suggestions there that work just as good, but aren't so massive that it blocks my ram?

Well Noctua are probably the best quiet fans out there. Be quiet is the second best choice in my opinion, and first choice considering aesthetics. That doesn't mean corsair has not great choices. Corsair ML series are great too but not that quiet when they speed up. In any case you can't go wrong with either LL or ML fans.

As mentioned above try and find what you want to buy in amazon.de(preferably) or amazon.co.uk(while they are still in Europe hehe), if you live in Europe so that you won't have to pay import taxes.

Sounds like they want to make Windows more interesting to programmers.

 

If Microsoft takes this seriously and really puts money and R&D into it, I can totally see this making Windows infinitely more attractive to future developers. 

Well most developers worldwide use Windows, so i don't think they need to make the OS more attractive. It already is(depending on the tools you use of course).  What they made a lot attractive is Visual Studio and that is why more devs and companies are choosing Micrososoft/Windows and go with C# and .net.

I've got a 980 ti in my PC rn but a couple days ago I was having some issues with booting and playing league of legends and rust. It was crashing and giving me blue dots after it posted and would give me white artifacts and then I switched it out with my friends GPU and it worked just fine so idk. But these past couple days my 980 ti has been working perfectly but it has this weird humming and I think it's the power delivery I'm not sure... so I dont know if it's time to get a new graphics card or not I've been looking into the Asus strix 2070 oc but dont know if it's worth it.

Artifacting could mean it's overheating.  Have you tried dusting out the cooler or reapplying thermal paste?

Exactly that. Clean the dust and reapply thermal paste. After that there's no need to upgrade if  the card works properly.

Hi guys, I need some advice!

 

 

Hey, i also got the G12 and thinking of buying the "thermaltake 3.0 water cooling performer c". Seems like the best option at the cheapest price(about 50 € here). Another good option is the antec H20 920 but it's more expensive.

That graph is just so confusing and largely meaningless.  is there a category for "married woman" or are we to assume only single woman are gamers? what about gender categorizations for advanced English or are we to assume that category is neither male nor female? 

 

This is why confidence intervals are handy, if 8% of all gamer's in that game are female then their 4% automatically makes the confidence interval low. 

Agreed. The whole graph is a joke. Same goes for article.
