  1. Make sure you installed GPU drivers correctly and are using the Video outputs of your GPU, and not your motherboard.
  2. Ok, well if the heat pipes are still sealed off then it's usable. Back to your original question, I'm not too sure if that will cool a GTX 960. Is there a way where you could try it and see the results?
  3. Are the bottom heatpipes cut open?
  4. Spray painting will reduce the performance of your cooler depending on how you paint it. Here's what I would do. I would just paint the very top fin whatever color you want, since this is the part that you see most of the time through your window. Painting just one fin will not decrease the heatsink's performance as much compared to completely coating the heatsink from all angles.
  5. Sorry for my lack of knowledge in this department. Would that also affect real world performance in a realistic way (Namely gaming performance, since that's what OP does)? I'm not trying to be argumentative, just genuinely curious.
  6. Also I forgot to answer your last question, no there's no major downfall in having 4 sticks as opposed to 2.
  7. Well, HBM is already available to consumers through a few AMD Fury series GPUs. Namely these below AMD R9 Fury X (XFX- $630) [Newegg-US] AMD R9 Fury (Sapphire - $520) [Newegg-US] AMD R9 Nano (Sapphire - $500) [Newegg-US]
  8. Your link is not working, but are you proposing to upgrade to a new CPU, RAM, SSD, and motherboard but keep your old GTX 750Ti (Since I assume it has plenty of horsepower to run CS:GO). If yes, then yea that's a pretty nice upgrade over that AMD APU. Even if this PC is a bit overkill for CS:GO, it will last you a loong time and you could venture into heavier games if you ever want to.
  9. Name: Kalte CPU- Intel Core i7-5820K (4.4 GHz, test shows 3.3GHz for some reason) GPU- Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 (1560 MHz Core) RAM- 4x4GB (16GB 2666 MHz) Score- "Ready"
  10. Well a lot of phones have 1440P displays these days, which is more than the Vive's 2160x1200, although the Vive does indeed have a higher refresh rate at 90Hz, compared to most phone's 60.
  11. Well the Z170i is superior since it's more expensive and has a higher end chipset that has more features. Such as USB 3.1, more SATA ports, CPU power delivery (Only matters if you're overclocking). My vote goes to the Z170i
  12. I would recommend an iPad instead. (I'm joking with ya!) After checking the Asus Website, it seems these two options below are the most recent ones. ASUS Transformer Book Flip TP200SA ASUS Transformer Pad ‏(TF103C) The first options I believe runs a full version of Windows 10 Home, while the second options runs Android 4.4 KitKat IMO, I would say at least 2GB of RAM these days for Tablets.
  13. I agree, Jonny Guru's an excellent site for PSU reviews. Seasonic's got an amazing reputation of making great PSUs, even at the lower end.
  14. Haha, ok I understand. Yea, I think you've picked yourself some nice components, special bravo on that Seasonic PSU. You've got yourself a killer budget PC right there.
  15. No offense, but if you have a job, could you save some more money so you could purchase a more capable machine? IMO, it's worth it to wait an extra month or two to be able to afford better hardware. If that's not an option, oh well. The PC you have listed up seems pretty good and I wouldn't change much, if at all.
  16. Judging from the pictures, it seems like the the two maps are indeed quite similar in a bird's-eye-view, however maybe the actual topography and terrain is different in Primal? I have nothing to back this up though, just a speculation.
  17. True, but Stock Android is generally lighter to run than Samsung's TouchWiz Skin overtop Android. Personally, I've had a laggy experience on my mom's Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 since the beginning, although I'd imagine the Tab S2 is faster.
  18. Unfortunately the only block available specifically for your motherboard are VRM waterblocks, at least from EKWB's offerings, I'm not sure about other brands. https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-mosfet-msi-x99-xpower-nickel https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-mosfet-msi-x99-xpower-acetal-nickel
  19. Quick Google conversion. Zotac GTX 970 (14,750 Pesos) = $310 MSI R9 390 (18,400 Pesos) = $387 Sapphire R9 390 (16,600 Pesos) = $349
  20. Dang, that's quite a price difference. The R9 390 IMO isn't worth that much extra money. So in your situation, I would go with the Zotac 970.
  21. Probably from the top, but it really doesn't matter. Whichever way makes your tubing runs look cleaner.
  22. How much does the Zotac GTX 970 cost in your nation and how much does an MSI or Sapphire R9 390 cost? If there's not too much of a price difference ($5 - $10) then I would get the R9 390. I think the people above me have answered your questions regarding the R9 390's heat and power consumption, but I'll re-iterate that your 650W PSU is still absolutely plenty to be able to OC it. The coolers on the MSI & Sapphire versions (XFX too) are great coolers.
