    so your "looking down" on somebody is ok but if somebody looks down on somebody else then its not ok and you can look down on him. 

     

    This is a logical loop or for some reason "your reasons" for looking down on somebody are more important/valid than the reasons of said somebody having for looking down upon somebody else. 

    There is no way you are smart enough to work a computer and not understand the difference here. Its not a logic loop, its common sense. And yes my reasons for looking down on someone in this case are 100% more valid than someone looking down on someone solely because they choose a different way to play video games. If you dont understand the difference than thats on you

  2. Im in Edmonton and did an order on the weekend and it says it shipped from Vancouver I believe. Apparently shipped on Sunday and is expected on Thursday which leads me to believe it originated in Canada. Back to the OP, no there is no separate Canada site, you just buy through the main store and do the $$ conversion yourself

    honestly the lighting port on my iphone 11, has lasted so much longer than any usb-c port on any device ive had

    I agree. Ive had lightning cables break but never a lighting port on any device I have owned, and I have had a lot off apple. Almost every type c port on phones ive had has needed to be repaired within the first 6 months of ownership.

  4. I would wait on it, I know people love the new and shiny, god knows I do, but until you see the real world numbers you shouldnt get married to that idea, hell you dont technically know if that PSU will be enough until you see the numbers (I cant imagine it wouldnt be but you see where Im coming from). At the end of the day waiting for reviews is always smarter, however as you said if you buy one and decide the card isnt for you then it should be easy to move unless its a total dud

    I’ve always

    Ive always thought that was counterproductive as heat rises? The top magnetic filter thing on the meshify probably doesn’t stop much dust, either.

    It stops more than you might think, did a good job for me and I live in a basement suite with dog

  6. Try flipping the top two fans to intake as well as the front two and just have the rear as exhaust maybe. In my experiences, which arent extensive, ive always gotten better temps that way. My current define R6 has 3 front 120LL and 3 top 140mm fans as intake and just a single 120mm LL fan as a rear exhaust and its very acceptable temps

  7. 2 years ago I built a pc using a define R6, then I left it for a thermal take p5 when I did a full open loop because that made it easier and I liked the look of the case, then I downsized and went back to air and used a Meshify C, now as I prepare to go back to a custom loop I found myself looking at all sorts of cases, even thought about the new Thermaltake P8 but ended up going back to my old friend Define R6 although this time I got the version with the type c USB on the front panel. This is still just a temp version with a Ryzen 3600 and a 2060 ko but in the new year when stock is easier to come by I’m going with I think a 5800x and then a 6800xt IF the reviews live up to the hype, if not then I’ll go 3080, either way it will all be back on an open loop with Hydro X products.

  8. There are some great deals out there on 3900x right now, if you wanna get up and running right now I would probably go that route if you can. If you plan on selling it once the 5950x is avalible you could check the used market and see if someone upgrade to a 5000 and is selling a 3000 series cheap. Also I dont know what your daily work flow is but if its gonna be a temp processor you could always get something cheap like a 3600 for now knowing its only gonna be for a couple months, it will be far easier to sell when you are done with it compared to a higher priced chip

  9. Kinda hard to know for sure if its gonna work well since you are asking about a gpu no one has put hands on yet. As for the mobo I believe all 5 series chipsets are going to support ryzen 5000 out of the box unless I missed something. IF I had to guess though I would say its possible your PSU might be underpowered and I would just look for a mobo with wifi built in as opposed to using a separate wifi card, is there not a board around the 210-220 mark that has wi-fi?

  10. My problem with the Dell sale was after REFUSING warranty several times THEY STILL GOT CHARGED for it. Like that borders on illegal I would thing. Customer refusing a service and you just charge them for it anyways? And in the follow up service call they wanted them to send the PC in to depot even though I believe that one of the things they were charged for was a onsite service warranty.

  11. I was gonna order one of the foil pin shirts but at the end of the day I couldnt do it. I live in Edmonton, so one province over from LTT, and one shirt shipped to my door was gonna be $56 CAD, I just cant bring myself to shell out that much for a single t-shirt. Im not blaming LTT or anything, just saying that there is no way I can justify that.

  12. Ive almost pulled the trigger on this case before but what stopped me was the tremendous amount of gear needed to fill it up and not make it look like a bunch of empty space. To be worth while you are looking at a pair of 480-560mm rads, a pair of pumps/res to do a dual loop system, an impressive looking motherboard and graphics card and a lot of time and care in planning and building the loops. I still think about it but in reality just for the case and water cooling equipment needed to make it worth while would be like 2500-3000 CAD so in USD thats like 1900-2300 and thats all without buying a single component
