  1. I really like the power efficiency and the lower gpu temps im seeing on the gtx 900 series cards. i cant wait to get my hands on one.
  2. This show is amazing. Im happy to say im a swedish citizen.
  3. So this is interesting topic that I have had a chance to experiment with all the players here in the states (google wallet, softpay(isis), and apple pay) 1. Google wallet is powered by a virtual debit mastercard and have only had success with using it walgreens and mcdonalds. You can add any card as a funding source though. 2.Softpay has alot of branded terminals and is supported in the US by T-mobile, Verizon, & ATT and works at all NFC terminals. Softpay for some reason blocks "debit mastercards" and accepts all other cards even credit mastercards. So its pretty suspicious of softpay. In my opinion i think they are blocking them to stop people using google wallet and go over to softpay. 3. Apple pay uses a type of secure token system but you have to have the banks approval so i dont think there is the same in between with a virtual mastercard that is owned by google to pay for things. I have been able to use apple pay at all NFC terminals even ones branded as softpay. So after going through all 3 of these services apple pay is the most user friendly and secure plus the added bonus of the touch id for verification. Once all banks get on board everyone will start using it. They have done a good job at making it a universal form of payment compared to the failed attempt on by google. I have to give it up to apple on this one for fixing a slow emerging and broken market.
  4. Its working for me. How do we check if a service is down if the down detector is down?? lol
  5. subbed as in twitch terms? means a subscriber to that broadcaster.
  6. any axiel fan cards are going to heat up the inside of your case more. The asus strix cards seem to be keeping their temps pretty low on non demanding tasks. But any blower card will keep most of the heat pushed outside your case. The asus strix card is probably a safe bet though either way. It sounds like the 2.5 intake fan might have solved your problem though. The current card you have gets pretty warm being that its an amd card. the new nvidia cards temps are significantly lower.
