No post codes at all, the PC won't even boot for more than a 10th of a second for the fans to slightly spin and some LEDs to turn on. I shorted the 24 with everything disconnected as the sticky thread said

Hello, LTT. Please could someone help me with this issue - I'll bullet point to be as concise as possible. Built a PC in 2013. Haven't used it since January 2016. Booted it today, opened Civ 5 to test, and my PC shut down as it was loading it up. Afterwards, the PC won't boot. Only the power LED on the motherboard works. When I try to power up the PC (from either motherboard button and front power button) When I power it up, the fans spin for a fraction of a second and the light on the H100i powers up for a second. It then turns off and if I keep trying to turn it on, the same thing happens. RESET CMOS - no difference. Shorted the green and black wire in the 24 pin on the mobo, no help from that. Disconnected and reconnected everything, nothing. I'd appreciate any help, relevent details are that I have an MSI Z87 Gaming mATX motherboard with an i7-4770K. There's an H100i installed and my PSU is an EVGA 750G (the model with the steel bar sticking out). Thanks, Shaho

All right, laughs are over, sorry. Come 'err and give grandma a kissy kiss.

I don't do my own Google searches, my grandson does them for me, the sweet little boy! Does a backalley drug dealer do yours, because you are rather frantic over this here interwebs and need pills to calm your fervent errection down.

Maybe chill on the energy drinks, then?

Maybe you're a little too tired and need some rest.

You should be fine.

Of course you didn't, it's in NVIDIA's favour.

The SLI claim is not regarding VR.

You and I are two very patient individuals. Sorry, I'll have to call my grandson to read this for me - the aches of old age... );

You don't agree that those game charts show at least 50% increase in performance when you interpolate?

As you can probably tell, I have patience with people who have their knickers on back-to-front on a Saturday night.

Links to benchmarks?

The difference is that I can quote someone and that someone cannot make statements without backed up evidence, whereas your statement is fully emotional and contains curses for added effect.

Hilarious when people quote cards like the Duo which come with factory watercooling. Compare it to watercooled NVIDIA cards and it's suddenly less impressive, so nobody does it. GTX 1080 overclocks to 2.1GHz aircooled, and will do FAR better watercooled.

Still don't get why you can't just ask for that money to be put towards the Christmas build...

Do you believe it's reasonably/remotely expectable for AMD to beat NVIDIA's 1080? Performance has become expectable from NVIDIA, value for AMD. They live up to their markets and consumers, that's how AMD has grown so much this year (despite a small loss in Q1).

To me, AMD's Bulldozer/Piledriver is stupid.

Are you sure that AMD FX-4100 won't throttle the card?

The 1080 is around $600?

The best thing you can ask for is a gift card (if they exist) of that value.

The 1080 is ×2 more powerful than the Titan X and ×3 more energy efficient, as said by Jen Hsun today. Take your bet at what I am going to say. EDIT: On a side note, isn't your FX-4100 a little on the weak side for such a chip? Wouldn't it throttle/bottleneck the card?

I genuinely doubt Polaris will get even close to 2x performance of a Titan X and 3x the power efficiency like the 1080, and that's based on Jen Hsun, not speculation. Heck, the 1080 Ti will blow AMD into oblivion. AMD does a good job of budget cards and I don't see why everyone is rooting for it to tread in markets that it has no chance of succeeding in.

No, what I mean is the new memory architecture will be out then and will give rise to even better chips. We're on the verge of two breakthrough additions in the GPU industry.

Yes, by all means, yes. If you can be patient enough until 2017 without a GPU, even better, but I doubt it. The 1080 is said to be 40% better than the Titan X, so it's definitely worth it.
