bpw87 got a reaction from DocSwag in Monitor upgrade| Tips wanted 2560x1440 1ms 165Hz
Yes you can but they have barely any noticeable gains through almost all games. I run MSI 980s with an MSI HB bridge and it works fine just don't expect extra performance only better visuals.

bpw87 reacted to TheRandomness in Thermal Grizzly. Which paste to use for delid and GPU?
Between the die and the IHS, it's better to use a form of liquid metal to replace the wallpaper paste Intel tends to use.

Yeah it's my first de-lid so I would rather spend the few extra dollars and have the right tools that have been proven to work.

bpw87 reacted to Simon771 in What Ryzen CPU for SLI 980 for 4k @ 60hz
I would go with 1700 for your build. You can never have too many cores

bpw87 reacted to Cyndre1033 in What Ryzen CPU for SLI 980 for 4k @ 60hz
R7 1700
Edit: watch out for the Crosshair board, you need a PSU that supports two CPU power connections

I did open and that and will have a good read. Thanks
That's what I want to hear. Ryzen seems like a awesome chip all round

1700 seems like the pick of the R7 line up to me as I plan to overclock so there will be little to no mhz gains from the X and the temp offset would bug me as the fan profiles would ramp up unnecessarily when there is only light load on the CPU. 1700 has good value for the same or nearly the same performance if you OC it

That is true but the likeliness I will buy another CPU in the next 3 to 4 years is slim and the 8 core seems to have a better chance of lasting that long. $100 odd dollars now isn't that big of a increase in my budget and it could be handy in the future if I change plans. I will keep looking a reviews and benchmarks and won't rule the 1600 out.
That is pretty impressive and I'll be over the moon if I can get fairly stable 60fps at 4k with the build. I have been looking at upgrading to a 1440p 144hz G sync screen for FPS and MOBAs when they come down a bit in price.

bpw87 got a reaction from Spyagent1000 in What is the difference, and why should I get a different graphics card?
Try and get an aftermarket cooler design if possible. It doesn't really matter which one you get as it should be down personal preference on cooler design and size restrictions on your case. The reference coolers aren't good enough and you will have issues with it thermal throttling

If you change chipset you have to do a clean install, no other way around it.

I know quite a few people who are Global and smurf like that. Which is why I'm not surprised. It's not cheaters, I guarantee that.

bpw87 got a reaction from LokiFire in Counter Strike:GO Tips
MATE. I'm MG2 got there in about 2 weeks from silver 4 after not playing for almost a year, Getting from MG to MG2 took almost as long as from Silver to MG.
I'm average at best the game. A lot of my IRL friends are LEM, Supreme and a couple are Global sometime I play with them on their smurf accounts which are between MG and LE. So sometimes I get matched against LE and LEM and the skill difference between me and them is enormous whilst they get torn apart by my friends who get called hackers all the time and I anchor. Once you play with a Supreme or Global you will see that it is a whole level. If you you can't call properly, know all the ins and outs of the maps, work as a team and follow direction you won't stand a chance. I can hold my own against a DMG no worries anything higher I have trouble unless it's a lucky game or they have a bad game or are deranking. Also wait till you get a deranker on you team or even better a pair so you can't even kick them.
Don't buy keys buy the skins you want and be done with it. Keys and cases are a massive waist of money. I have spent about $100 bucks on skins and I have every skin and a knife I want not some random shit skins that are worth 4c on the market.
Good luck mate you will need it.

Yeah it was definitely an eye opening experience and showed me that I don't need to be some super high rank. I'd be more then happy if I never got past DMG because I know I don't have the skills to play beyond that level. Playing now 90% of the time win or lose I still have fun, even if I have a deranker it makes me try even harder and push myself and if it's real bad like massively outskilled or multiple trolls I'll have a bit of fun as well and try plays I wouldn't normally and try different guns that I'm not as good with and just use that game to try and make myself a better player.
You have to realize you came in here spouting how good you are gonna be and belittling other players straight from the get go, of coarse there is going to be some animosity. There are people here that are probably in the silver to gold ranks and have been in there for a long time and you come in saying your gonna be global but at the same time asking for tips, it's not rocket science that you have just pissed these people off. Can you not see this is a loaded topic, I genuinely came here to help probably like almost everyone else but after seeing your attitude they have probably had second thoughts trying to help.
As an MG2 player that knows their skill level I can still say with 99% confidence that if I was to play against you or someone else that hadn't played before, you wouldn't be able beat me and it would get to the point where I could make you hate the game. The scores would be so uneven and the game so lop sided it wouldn't be fun for either of us.

bpw87 got a reaction from r1Ns3 in What Power Supply should I get?
Only their higher range PSU are really good but Corsair fails in the value aspect. You Can get similar quality for a lot less. EVGA B2 and higher are great some of the lower ones not so much
