    Maybe try a hard restart: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/power-cycle-console
     
    This tends to fix 99% of problems with any Xbox One.

    tman2damax11 got a reaction from Soppro in Any news/info on Fractal Define Mini R2?   
    So I'm look to go for a good case for my next mATX build. I've loved fractal's define series since I first saw the define r4 in a build, and I was very pleased to find out that they had a mini variant. Except one big turn off about it is that its very old, outdated, and IMO overpriced. I'm surprised that they didn't announce a define mini r2 with the launch of the define r5 recently. I really like how they made the front look even cleaner than the r4 and added the flush "modu-vents", or whatever they're called, to make this case look smooth and sleek at all angles. I wish they would apply these changes to the mini along with the internal structure and efficiency upgrades. But so far nothing from fractal?
     
    Can we expect a mini r2, or is it just not popular enough to engineer a new revision? As I said the price is kinda high as it averages at about $95 when the r5 (windowless) comes in at about $105 average, I really wish they would bring down the price to compete with something like the CM silencio 352 (I've considered this btw, but the I don't like the appearance and the insides lack a lot of high end features) coming at at only $70, So I wish they would drop the price down to at least $80 and offer a windowed version for at least. $90.

    This almost exactly what I'm looking for. Has all my prefered features, and as a bonus it looks extremely well built. My only complaint is that its only 21.5 in, which is a huge downside for me. but definitely still a consideration because it does meet all my requirements besides size, great suggestion!

    Why did you even bother to put this in the console gaming section? But yeah they're underpowered, they're for the simpler gamer.

    Recently found a neat trick to get reference amd cards off of newegg with special item numbers from google's shopping search section (say that 10x fast) and I used the item number to find reference nvidia cards too, a gtx 660 2g and gtx 760 2gb, these both can be added to your cart and purchases, and are labeled as in stock, weird that newedd hides these items from their site yet they're in stock and purchasable, no one had tried to fully purchase though. Also there is a reference 770 (Item number: N82E16814551008), but its not in stock

    I didn't say the word "get" once, did you even read the questions at all? "Just wondering what you would choose and why" never did I say anyone was buying these actual configurations of cards.

    You really won't notice a difference. The EVO is a really solid (see what I did there?... anyone...?) drive. And the WD Blue is just a slightly slower version of the black.

    If you're talking about the asus mars 760x2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121839, I personally would think this is better than a 780 because 760 SLI benchmarks show a 20%-25% improvement over a single 780, but this card has both gpu's downclocked a little for heat and power reasons so it will only be a 15%-20% improvements. If your going to get an adequate PSU and have good airflow than I would personally go with a 760x2. Also this asus ROG mars had amazing build quality comparable to that of the full metal 780's shell. I think its just a cool factor thing, saying I have a dual GPU 760 card sounds cooler than just 1 780 to me. And sure some games won't be optimized for SLI/Dual GPU but more are optimized every major driver update.

    Extremely poor paint diagram of projected airflow configuration: http://imgur.com/rCnAIVf
     
    So Ive been piecing together my next build for about a month now, and now that I have all the parts picked out, I'm just making fine adjustments to make sure this thing is near perfect day one. To start the rig is going to be an SLI build, but both cards I chose are blower style so they get rid of their heat on their own, so thats not my worry. My worry is the water cooling radiator (dun dun dun, did he just say water cooling radiator in the air cooling section), I don't what the optimal position for the rad and fan is, I picked the first google link for the question, optimal radiator placement or something like that and got this article: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/printpage/Which-is-The-Best-Configuration-for-120-mm-Liquid-Cooling-Fans/1738. The lowest temps were achieved by the radiator being mounted on a the top of the case with the fan mounted under as an intake which resulted in the lowest temps. So heres a poorly drawn paint diagram of how I would imagine the air flow in my case would work: http://imgur.com/rCnAIVf. What do you guys think, any way this could be revised for minimum temps with my limited 3 fans (I might get a the liquid cooling system thats a step up from the one I have chosen with 2 fans, making 4 total). Any help would be greatly appreciated!
     
    Edit: Also I have one more question, its about the dust flow of the case. I know for a fact that the case I'm getting has a filter for the front fan, and the bottom PSU and vent, so if I'm using the radiator as an intake will it be bringing dust into my case, or will it most likely be sucked out by the back exhaust instantly? BTW, my house is very very dusty all the time. Thanks again for the help.
