According to reviews, the RX 480 performs ever so slightly worse (1-3 FPS) than the GTX 970, howerver it is much cheaper than the GTX 970 ATM, so I would go for the RX 480.

I would just pick up Skylake since it's newer, and me being me, I want to be on the "cutting edge".

I don't know what's the different but i was going for the GTX too Thanks for the advice.

The only difference I can discern is that H100 uses a 240mm radiator (Two 120mm fans) and H110 uses a 280mm radiator (Two 140mm fans).

I would get the Corsair H110i GTX

DT 770's?

Budget?

I prefer $250 or under

Hello! I've recently been considering upgrading my HyperX Cloud headset for something a bit higher quality. The only requirement that I have is that they need to be Over-The-Ear style, so no On-Ears or earbuds since these will be used only on my desktop for music and games. I would prefer closed back for the heavier bass and less sound leak. A few contenders I've been eyeing are the Munitio Pro40s , AudioTechnica ATH-M50X, and Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro. I appreciate any recommendations, thanks!

Can I just leave it without anything connected?

Thank you both very much

Yes, there's no issue with leaving it un-connected

Sure  Taken

No it's absolutely fine. The thin horizontal tubes are what actually carry the coolant so as long as that's not punctured, which it doesn't seem like it, then it's fine.

That is beautiful.  Seriously.  If water cooling wasn't so intimidating to me, I'd go for that exact color scheme.  Love black and light blue together.  Gorgeous.

Thanks you kind sir. The only seriously out-of-place thing is my K70, which has good ol' bright red LEDs. One day I'll get a K70 RGB, one day...

I've got a 5820K build  http://imgur.com/a/4T7iY

Even if you're on the now dated Ivy & Sandybridge CPUs, they're worth keeping as the increment of upgrade between i7-2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx by itself isn't really all that much. Something like the 4790k is still a super relevent and good option for a CPU, remember that if you were to upgrade from your 4570 to a 6700k or 6600k, you'd need a new motherboard, ram and CPU.

 

If you feel the upgrade itch, get a 4570k, 4590k, 4770k or 4790k.

I think you mean 4670K & 4690K.

Google has Stock Android Factory Images available for download for all of their Nexus devices. You could flash that and be back to stock factory Android. I'm not sure if this is what you're asking though.

Ugh. No. It's the same exact thing. Yeah, you can undo the fittings, but that's the extent of the Predator being 'custom'. Still no reservoir. Still an integrated pump. Semantics aside, are you guys seriously saying that a Predator is a showcase piece assuming that the budget isn't an issue? You'd go with predator yourselves if you had full access to stuff like XSPC Photon or FrozenQ Fusion?

 

I won't even mention what I think of having the pump at the top of the circulation.

The pump is just screwed onto the radiator with a bracket, it's a DDC pump so the pump is not integrated per-se like in a standard Asetek AIO, which you could buy individually and is what some people use. You can literally buy all of the components the Predator is made out of separately, except the custom made bracket of course to hold the DDC pump and reservoir onto the radiator. It's got EK compression fittings, EK-Supremacy MX water block, EK 360 radiator, EK ZMT tubing, Laing DDC, custom reservoir, it's basically a custom loop that's been professionally assembled for you.

You got tones of monney to spend on a showcase PC and you're going to go with an AIO? Why not hard tubing and a custom loop? I just mean, don't everyone have AIOs these days?

The Predator 360 is basically just a pre-assembled custom watercooling kit. So it's higher up than your run-of-the-mill Asetek based AiO like a Corsair H100i GTX

I would go with Mayhem's Pastel White fluid along with PrimoChill Advanced LRT Crystal Clear tubing.

That external GPU dock thing of theirs? Here I thought Alienware's version was overpriced...

Look for thin keyboards, those tend to be low profile and have very quiet keys.

Stock cooler if you're not planning on overclocking. It's actually not bad at all. If you find yourself wanting to overclock then buy a better cooler but until then the stock one is really more than adequate.

Unlocked Skylake Chips don't come with stock coolers.

The i3-4170 is ever so slightly better than the i3-4160. I think it's worth the $6.36 price difference to get the 4170.

Hopefully that chip isn't damaged in that corner with the missing thermal material, it looks burnt up.

It's not burnt up, the thermal paste is just spread out thinner in that area so more of the black chip die is seen.

IMO, I would wait until the next series of GPUs come out, either from AMD or Nvidia.

Half-Life was I think the first PC game I played.

but i saw reviews of both and both have almost the same temps  and the second one is 15$ cheaper

Really? That'd odd. I would expect the first one to perform better.

Yes, the top one will result in better temperatures. The L9i sometimes even performs worse than a stock Intel cooler, albeit it's quieter.
