  1. Hi there! This seemed very interesting so I went Googling. I know for a fact that under Dx11 and with SLI, you could not add up the memory - the memory between the GPU's would be synced and loaded with the same data afaik. Someone on Reddit had this exact same question, but then regarding videogames. An NVidia rep responded with the following: Source: I'm no expert, but I hope this helps regardless!
  2. I would do the exact same thing I guess, with a setup like this Clichés become clichés for a reason. I think it's cool looking, for sure. Albeit a little over the top.
  3. Thought "it can't be that bad", bought the game. Took a look around and oh my word. No ultrawide support, crashes, features missing... I did send in a ticket to Blizzard support, and I did end up getting the game refunded. Took a while for them to respond, but to be honest, it was relatively painless; I will not lie about that. I will keep an eye on the game to see if there will be any improvements in the future. I was really excited to play, but boy, was I disappointed.
  4. Hmm, I've had the pleasure of updating quite a few machines for the company I work in. The experience has varied wildly across systems. Our secretary still had Windows 7 running, and so did I. I updated her machine straight to 1909, she walked in on Monday and commented that it felt only the Task bar had changed, she was able to carry on working right where she left off before the weekend. On my own workstation, that, for software compatibility reasons needed 1807, required 1,5 day of setting up, fixing broken software and as a finale, the GPU literally blew up (FirePro vapor chamber went *poof*, probably unrelated however). So, for some people, the update is probably just fine, while others will have massive problems. That's how it's been ever since Windows 98, and probably the way it's going to be in the future.
  5. @MinkHD I've had this exact message a little while back... Couldn't figure it out, until I noticed I was trying to update to a Z370 BIOS rather than H370. Asrock's boards all look very, very similar, so do their product pages (I made this mistake even though I've been building PCs for over 10 years...). Could that be what's going on?
  6. He released a video last Saturday, stating he is not going to pull through with this, you can find it here: For those not interested in sitting through the whole video, just skip to 23:30
  7. @Bladeravinger It's a matter of physics. I'd like to think you are not getting slammed because people don't believe you, but because something seems wrong. When a sensor reads a temperature below ambient on a non-exotic cooling solution, it is very likely the sensor is toast. in regards to wind chill, if it is 30 degrees outside, you take a thermometer and walk at 2 mph, the thermometer reads 30 degrees C, even though the air feels cooler. The reason the air feels cooler is because your body temperature is above 30C and due to the wind chill it is easier for your body to dissipate heat. If it would be 50 degrees, the air would actually feel hotter than that. Have you ever had a hot air oven and opened it right in your face? Same principle. I would definitely suggest trying to update the BIOS and see what the sensor reads out, or get some software to get a readout. Don't overclock with faulty sensors. I'm not trying to slam you for anything, just trying to give solid advice.
