    That looks great, however I've already bought the mobo so I'm not sure if I can fit a 1080Ti into my budget, but I'll definitely try
  2. MaktimS
    Anyone?
  3. MaktimS
    wow, just wow

    Looks good, however have you considered 2nd gen Ryzen? (2600)

    After what is now almost six years of using a laptop with GT 650M, I've decided to do an upgrade, a big one. I am planning to buy 2600X and pair it with GTX 1070Ti. My first intentions were to buy Turing once it comes out. However it just isn't what I was hoping for and those prices, I don't even want to talk about that. Yes, ray tracing does look good, but that is kinda useless when you cant afford it.:D. So I quickly reopted to Pascal and I think that 1070Ti is a card worth buying. Since I want to do some 3D and videoediting besides gaming, AMD is better choice for me, especially now, when prices of Intel CPUs are so inflated I've already bought the mobo, because I got a good deal on it - I got the AIO gratis with it. There are also some other things I want to discuss. I am still not sure if I should buy the GPU now. 2070 benchmarks are just around the corner so I'll wait at least for that. However there are also rumours about yet another Polaris refresh, that could maybe lower the prices just a bit. Or maybe the prices will rise owing to US tariffs - I know that EU isn't directly affected by them, but what if manufacturers decide to increase prices here too by few percent to make the difference between EU and US smaller? I was also thinking about waiting till 7nm GPUs arrive. Like getting something really cheap now and upgrade next year. On the other hand I really don't want to wait any longer. Almost every day I see a game coming out which I'd like to play but my PC can't handle it. So, that's basically it. What do you guys think?

    Tell him to get MSI Afterburner so he can check his clocks and temperatures during gaming, maybe that'll help you identify what is causing this.
  7. MaktimS
    Maybe your CPU is doing something in the background some of those background operations require more power, so the CPU's load increases and with that rises the temperature.

    True, but I'd still go with Ryzen, it's better value. It has more cores, more threads and it's also unlocked

    Bought a mechanical keyboard - MX Brown Masterkeys Pro L - one of the best investments of my life. The typing is just so satisfying :D

      Yay for Masterkeys keyboards! Got this exact board, except I got the S (TKL) version.

    Ryzen 2600, same price as the 1600X but bit better in single-thread performance

    Take all the money you have and get that RTX card, just as Tom's hardware says JUST BUY IT. Well, I don't really know what to do with the card, you could maybe use it as a decoration? Or maybe you'll be lucky and you will repair it succsessfully. There are tutorials on YT, but I've never tried it though
  12. MaktimS
    Yes, they'll probably arrive in Q1 2019 and they aren't going to be soldered I'd say
  13. MaktimS
    Yes, that's true, you're right. I didn't think about it this way

    As i said, price in CZK includes tax (VAT) which is 21%. So: 13 990/1,21 = 11 561CZK = 449EUR without tax And so on and so on. Also price in the US is usually lower, because there are no import duties or anything like that. For example take Ryzen 2700X. On Amazon.com it costs $320. However, on Amazon.de the price is 320€ = $375, so yeah. I think my prices do make some sense. You don't even know how much cheaper HW is in the US when compared to Europe or rest of the world. In the US RTX2080Ti costs $1200, but here? The price statrs at $1450 and some AIB cards cost up to $1700 and in some countries the price is even higher.
  15. MaktimS
    I don't know prices in your country but maybe try looking for 1070Ti instead, you'll get much higher performance with more or less same price I'd personally go with 250-500GB SSD for system and some games and big HDD for everything else. And I also suggest regular SATA SSD over nvme one. You'll save some money. Monitor? Depends on what would you like. High refresh rate or high resolution? Both maybe?
  16. MaktimS
    Totally agree with you. When the price difference is big, I pass on the RGB. However, when it's comparable, RGB EVERYTHING!
  17. MaktimS
    I'll try, thanks

    If I am late, then sorry. I read few articles here, but the prices were higher than what I found and there is also a chart which also shows which CPUs are soldered

    Source: https://www.alza.cz/intel-core-i9-9900k-i7-9700k-i5-9600k-recenze-a-testy https://www.cnews.cz/intel-coffee-lake-refresh-core-i9-9900k-i7-9700k-ceny-eshop Czech retailer posted some more info about coming 9th gen Intel CPUs. The information contains price, frequencies and also which of the CPUs will be soldered and which not. Here's chart that sums it all up About the price. This includes tax, in euros without tax it'd be: i5 9600K 240€ ≈ $250?? i7 9700K 350€ ≈ $350?? i9 9900K 450€ ≈ $450-500?? I am just speculating about the price in USD, not sure how much different the price will be in the US. If this is true, we can see, that soldered IHS is really making a comeback. However, it's interesting that the i5 will be leftout and will still use paste. It's shame. The i5 is really great mid range CPU and many people would benefit, if it used soldered IHS.

    I may be late, but I just want to add my two cents to this. The reason why is Nvidia so strong and why Turing costs so much is because people are stupid and too lazy to inform themselves. And Nvidia knows how to use this to their advantage. Take GTX 400 series for example. Nvidia offered worse GPUs for more money than AMD, however they marketed the sh*t out of it and sold more units than AMD. Nvidia is also known to do some shady things, like cheating in 3D mark so their GPUs look better but that was like 15 yrs ago.

    Well, 1000W PSU is still overkill even if you plan to do an upgrade in the future, unless you want to run two cards in SLI, but I'd say that that is a bit useless nowadays. Some games don't support it anyways.
  22. MaktimS
    Maybe wait. Nvidia is hosting GTC on the 30th May. I expect they will announce new GeForce cards there, because this will be second GTC this year so what else would they do there when they've already discussed machine learning stuff and things like that on the first GTC and I've also heard that Nvidia posted some kind of teaser which had something to do with ultimate gaming experience, so....

    Look at benchmarks, decide for yourself

    You could sprinkle it with a tiny bit of holy water OR You can do some real troubleshooting. Try plugging the fan to different connector either on the hub or on your mobo. Try to find out if it's the fan or the connector.
  25. MaktimS
    The difference is like 30 € or less
