    Damien19721508 reacted to Oshino Shinobu in bought a better router but dont know how to set it up   
    What I'd advise is returning the Asus router and buying a dedicated access point. 
     
    It sounds like what you want is just the WiFi part of the router, which is what an access point is used for. You'll get better results using a dedicated access point at the same price point as the Asus router as it doesn't have a load of other features that you won't use and it's much more simple to setup as you don't have to mess with DHCP and routing settings like you'll need to when running two routers. 
     
    My personal preference would be a Ubiquiti UniFi AC Pro or AC Lite.

    Damien19721508 got a reaction from TetraSky in Grounding PC   
    I have already reached the conclusion that I need to probably have an electrician come and redo the wiring but I live in a apartment building on the 20th floor and I dont think my land lord will have someone rewire her new apartment because I tell her my pc is shocking me, although my pc itself isnt in a case its actually on the motherboard box as I dont have a case and the PSU is sitting next to it on a chair I know it sounds Janky but Ive seen people who do this and never have issues, also my PSU is fairly new, its a Superflower leadex 3 850w gold so I dont think its faulty and my mobo itself doesnt shock me if I touch it, just the PSU and the water block and the keyboard but it doesnt always shock me either some days nothing shocks me but more often than not my PSU seems to shock me, Ive also tested 2 other PSU's and both also shocked me when turned on, which makes me think that the PSU is most likely not faulty, also my keyboard doesnt shock me that much just once in a while and the water block shocked me for the first time today, which concerned me alot since its a large block of water attached to my CPU. 
    basically the reason I started this post was to find out which 3 pin plug I could try use in my apartment, I see you said US type B is a ground plug that should be compatible with this socket.
    I guess Ill go look for one online and order it and hope I can use it, I have also already ordered a ground testing kit to check whether my plugs are actually grounded and wired properly.
    thank you for the response

    Quite a strange question - like somebody has 6 13" tyres and asks what car can I buy that uses them. Anyway, a Phanteks Luxe Tempered Glass could swallow up 6 (7 if you so desire) 140mm fans without issue. Heck, The Phanteks 719 (nee. Luxe 2) can handle 8, the Phanteks Primo can house up to 10 and the Elite... 17!

    Dirt Rally? You can change some stuff like the suspension, ride height, brake bias, difs, gears etc. Nothing like buying new parts though, just adjusting stuff.

    Need for speed Payback is OK and has a lot of visual customization but the story is absolutely trash and the handling is very arcadish. The only reason I'm recommending it is because it goes on sale for $5 pretty often.
     
    Beamng Drive can customize everything from the pistons and differentials to the entire body of the car and even trailers and other accessories. The handling is realistic but it's a sandbox game so there's not any racing unless you play one of the scenarios. It's a free-roam game where you're the only car on the road (but you can add ai).

    Welcome. There is no game with all these elements at the best of what they can be. That's why I recommended Project Cars 2 as it bests quite a few elements. You might find a game with more customization but it's not going to be very realistic or devoted to being a "car game" when compared to Project Cars 2.
     
    There's always games like Forza 4, The Crew 2 and even GTA 5 that's gonna provide a decent balance of things but they're more centered to the open world aspect. If you're looking to modify and build cars, try a simulation game. There's multiple Car Sims out there.

    Customization is very good but handling not that good.

    Forza Motorsport 7? If you catch it on a decent sale you can get it for $30 and that has decent enough customization.

    Going off what Dan said...
     
    The Forza Motorsports series is much more simulation based than Forza Horizon which is not realistic at all. Forza Motorsports 6: Apex is free in the Microsoft store if you want to give that a try, but it is nothing like the full games.

    The short answer is no. Unless you buy an old NFS title, the only other game with any actual customization that isn't garbage as a game is Forza. Otherwise there's a few indie games of varying quality from shit to mediocre.
     
    If you like to build cars, there's My Summer Car, but I haven't personally played it.

    "computer isn't very good at creating random number"
     
    That's only our understanding of computers. If it were a simulation, we would have no way of knowing if "computers" follow the same basic principles outside of our perception of reality. It could be a bug in our "simulation" that computers are finicky when it comes to random numbers. We just don't know.

    for one someone would have figured it out,i mean if your going by the movies like matrix or truman show,someone always finds out,and the tech needed for such a thing would be unthinkable,but it would be just as easy to say we were an alien's science experiment that grew too big,where god the creator being the alien in question,he used to micro manage us then we multiplied 50 fold lol then he bailed but not before trying to thin our numbers by drowning,then multiplied again and he said screw this....lol not sure why i went there but yeah.

    Damien19721508 reacted to DarkSmith2 in When intel i7 coffee lake 8 core processor will release?   
    i dont think that a single card will bring you up to high refreshrate gaming, but i also think SLI suxx big time. Thats why im saying 4k gaming isnt worth it for me personally. Heck the GTX1180 might get good for 1440p 144hz, where the 1080TI still lacks a bit of performance.
     
    But i also dont think that a 1180TI will get you there. If you would want to really play 4k+high refreshrate you'll probably have to wait 10years+, because you'll need a GPU thats 3times faster than a GTX1080TI, if we now calculate 30% increase per gen and a TI release every two years, than it might take much longer and this only if they dont hit a performance wall. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
     
    But it also depends on how much Nvidia can milk us without any competition from AMD / INTEL. Im pretty sure they could make GPUs twice as fast already, its just milking the consumer.

    wow I had mine for 5 years, mine was actually a pc I salvaged from a friend it was struck by lightning and he said it was dead but it was actually just the mobo and gpu and network card that fried so I took the cpu bought the cheapest mobo and some generic second hand RAM stuck a card in it and the HDD still worked and I had my own PSU already from my previous PC and I was good to go but last year near the end the RAM started acting up and my hard drive also started acting up and frankly its performance in games was barely enough anymore so this year I got a new job and I made the cash and I upgraded after years of waiting

    yeah OP he has a good point, those 2 extra cores wont do much for games only work, like rendering and stuff unless they are faster but they most likely wont be greatly faster due to extra cores generating more heat. but still I guess 8 cores is nicer than 6 haha

    I get people are core crazy, but you lose latancy as the core count rises. If you're talking about a workstation big whoop, if it's a gaming rig you're giving up performance for bragging rights. Worth thinking about.

    Hey I had that exact cpu with 8 gb DDR3 RAM and a GPU that was basically the same power, and i upgraded 3 months ago to the i7 8700k with a 1080ti and 16gb of 3200mhz RAM and its honestly beyond anything ive ever used in terms of speed and power, the actual bottle neck is the 1080ti it still isnt fast enough, but yeah if you are willing to wait for the cpu and gpu then do it but if you upgraded now you wont be disappointed, basically if you have the patience then i guess wait but know you might be waiting for a while other wise upgrade now and enjoy the new power.

    I had hope of getting a 240mm rad like a corsair h100i but my gpu is a 1080ti and its 32cm long or 320mm so no front mount rad would fit unless it took a single fan slot as the gpu basically would make a fan and rad too thick
