Just put one of those small locks on your gym bag zipper not the most protective thing but it's better than nothing

When you add premium fans it does tend to balance out thermals the only issues with the more restricted cases tends to do with radiators as already having a small area to pull air is bad enough but when you add a radiator on top of that even the top of the line fan will struggle. Now since the R5 actually supports a radiators on the top which really solves that problem so all in all always pick a case on your preferences/needs which in this case seems to be silence which the R5 is great for.

How does driver support go with an RMA? To be honest AMD usually has the better long term driver support just look at the 780ti and r9 290x if you want proof of that.

Yeah I currently have a curved ultrawide 1440p monitor and love it 1440p is by far the best resolution atm since the difference between it and 1080p is very noticeable but, it's not nearly as demanding as 4k.

The guy was talking about 1440p the 1060 is a solid 1080p card which can run 1440p but it's not going to be able to keep up as long as any gpu 1070/vega 56 and up.

The 1080 is the same price... It trades blows with the 1080 where's your logic?

You can get 64 at msrp fairly easy

I have a vega 64 it's a solid card beats the 1080 decently at a much higher power drain and you can finally find them at msrp so they're not as bad as a value as before. However, the 56 is the much better deal unless you don't like fiddling with overclocking and bios flashing overall they're solid cards and I recommend them to people who want something a little different or have/planning to get a freesync monitor

It happens to the best of us yeah you'll be good then

Which res is it? Best solution usually is drilling holes in the case

Never seen a psu with pcie cables that weren't 6+2

Warehouse sales or company forclosures a good way to get really nice expensive office chairs for nothing but otherwise I've never had good luck sub 200 I'm sure some people have but, for me they either break or have horrible padding.

The problem with those forms of sli is the developers have to go through the trouble of supporting it and 99.99% of them won't. That kind of sli/mgpu is just not a viable thing for a game dev to bother spend the time and money to support as sli/mgpu is already pretty niche to begin with. So in conclusion if it doesn't have an sli bridge don't bother putting two of them in your system to game (unless it's AMD)

AMD is trying to push HBM2 and more than likely they had already committed too much on it to be able to switch back. I do also have a feeling that they're pushing hbm so hard for later uses more than likely involving infinity fabric. Perhaps I'm wrong but maybe with hbm it'll be possible to see a new line of multi die gpus similar to their cpu line. In all honesty that's the only thing that makes any since to me when it comes to pushing such an expensive memory platform that has few benefits for non enterprise work.

The only time you're going to actually lower the lifespan of a chip is if you're pumping an absurd amount of voltage or heat through the system 24/7 otherwise it's going to last as long as a normal chip, well passed the time you decide to finally upgrade.

Yeah but when they tried to add polaris to laptops it was a huge bust due to power draw from what I remember it could also be that AMD partnered with intel to take away more from Nvida all while keeping Vega to their own laptops.

Yeah it should work just fine

To be honest polaris was so power hungry it wouldn't surprise me if it had hbm for it since hbm is a lot more power efficient then traditional ddr5.

Yeah that's a good deal sure you can't overclock but the perf gains of overclocking on haswell weren't great to start with and getting those extra threads for 100 (minus what you can sell current cpu for) is more than worth that compromise

Yeah I had one myself I could get it to 4.6ghz with a custom loop which was sad since it still ran fairly hot. I did however delid it and it capped out at 4.8ghz with temps that made me not have to turn on the heater in my room that winter

With what cooler? To be honest as with all cpus so long as you're in the low 80s with stress testing you're going to be fine. Haswell ran hotter than the surface of the sun so it will run hot and if you plan on overclocking at all a really good air cooler or aio is required since at stock clocks with a stock cooler I'm pretty sure it'll throttle.

Got to also agree with @dizmo on that case there's better and cheaper new cases out their.

I'd stick with one gpu since two 1080tis isn't worth it unless you're running 4k at minimum and perhaps waiting on that much storage unless you actually need it but, looks like a solid build.
