What's your cpu temps?

average is mid 70's but it maxes out around 80 flat

Ok just looked at the XFX Radeon R9 290 Double Dissipation and 250 Watts!!! I don't think my be quiet l8 400 watt psu will hold up to that!, knowing that, any other suggestions that might have a lower TDP?

 GTX 900 series then. I think most those cards should be fine, other than the 980 maybe. So again a 970 for 220 is perfect. http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121899&cm_re=970-_-14-121-899-_-Product

970 is rather out of budget, coming in at around £270 on average from what I have found

they average 210-240 http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=970&N=-1&isNodeId=1

Does anyone know how long it is going to be before the next amd series?

rumors say Q2 2015 http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/anton-shilov/amd-we-will-release-new-products-starting-in-the-second-quarter-of-2015/

R9 290X or GTX 970.

are you on the newest drivers? If so, try rolling back to older ones, if not update.

 Its been happening for the past few months even after and before I update my drivers with a game called SNOW, I assumed it was because the game was in alpha but now its happening in BF4. I think its a card issue.

I've recently downloaded and started playing Battle field 4. My rig has been a beast running at 90-120FPS all the time. But just now, my GPU usage wen't down to 10-20% and my FPS dropped to 8-10FPS. Still, the temps are only at mid 60's and my power supply has WAY MORE than enough power for the 970. Despite that it seems like the card is throttling it self. Not sure what to do but I could take some suggestions.

Rig:

4690k CPU

16GB's RAM

GTX970 GPU

My suggestion is the Asus ROG G750. i7 intel CPU clocked at 2.7Ghz but Turbos to 3.4Ghz, has 12Gbs of ram, 1TB HDD 17.6'' screen, and a nice display. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKF2H12/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00IKF2H12&linkCode=as2&tag=buildg-20&linkId=JIO6YLV3YZEWUIEU

Well, even with the MIR, it's only $20 more for an R1.

Never actually seen an R1 perform, so I could tell you which one I'd rather get in that situation. But its the R1 really better that a 240M closed loop water cooler, that is also $10-$20 cheaper? 

i5 - Not bad

 

Seidon 240M - Would still rather get a Cryorig R1 and not have to do the MIR

 

CNPS9900 - Worth the extra $10 to get the Hyper 212 EVO and not have to do the MIR and save yourself the huge pain in the ass of installing one of those Zalman coolers

Yeah, but price to performance ratio's are really good with those two products. Ever if its a pain to deal with MIR, I think its very worth it to get those coolers at that price. My H75 cost the same as that Seidon 240M, wish I had that thing for my PC

If you live near a MC, you can get a i5 4690K for 180 dollars.

I live in Alaska ._. All we have is best buy.

Pretty sure the 960's and 950's are coming out soon, again I'd wait for those cards and see what they can give you in terms of bang for your buck. (If its anything like the 970's price to performance ratio, get which ever one you could afford)

So I decided, since its almost black Friday I wanted to make a central hub for all the best deals for CPU's (and coolers). So on black Friday I'll be posting good deals I spot and I'd like to see what deals other people find. I myself am looking to upgrade from my G3258 to a 4690k or better, and I'll be updating it when I spot a good CPU deal. And instead of keeping it to myself, I'll just update this thread.

Here are some good deals I've spotted today:

Intel 4690K for $209.99 (Processor) USD

Cooler master Seidon 240M $69.99 USD (dual 120M close loop liquid cooler for $70?!) (after mail and rebate)

Zalman CNPS 9900 MAX 135M 24.99 (cooler) USD (after mail and rebate)

(will be updated tomorrow with more! Leave a post with deals you found!)

the GTX 960/950 when they come out, and based on all the rumors that should be in just a few weeks. Should get you the best bang for your buck.

so who's up for a game tommorrow 20:30 GMT?

If I'm still sick, sure. If I'm not I'll be busy with school.

I think this part of the sub forum is the only place I can get away from the bickering from the rest of the forum.

As for sarcasm, that requires knowing the person and tone of speech/body language something that when written down is hard to pick up.

For example your picture of me I figured you were joking around but I could of taken it that you were threatening me.

yeah, I kinda banked on people seeing that it was MS paint stick figures and would figure that out. Its definitely easier to know sarcasm in a forum were its very common, although I think these forums are more serious/helpful most of the time. Understandably, as I and as you said, sarcastic jokes are hard to pick up on through text.

@CatCloud Well I apologize that it "Offended" you. That was just a theme of another forum I am a part of, though this is a much bigger and matured forum I guess. It's a habit, but I think you should be more open-minded then, from what I've noticed, you seem. I thought it was obvious the sarcastic, intentionally ironic egotistical comment on this thread. But I should know from experience that is somewhat hard to detect, I am sorry for that. But I'm new to the forums, so I'll learn the do's and donts.

@ixi_your_face @rentaspoon But seriously, I'm just messin' around. I love SC and I've been following the lore of star systems, which is super fun... I love it. I also love messing around in Linus's forums , although I must admit I've only been a bit of a troll with the SC thread so far. But I guess you guys don't like that.

Oh, I didn't know I couldn't joke here. I'll go cry now, i guess. ;_; @ixi_your_face @rentaspoon

Neeeerrrrddzz. You're all fired.

@dj26792 well, when I looked, I think the 2TB version of the HHD was $10 more, also you could have put them in a RAID if you'd ever like that. but depending on the shipping you can buy what ever you like. (BTW you have to mount the RAD on the front of the rig, not the top.)

@snert98 http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/troublishone/saved/#savedbuild_1661234 This a pretty nice build

@dj26792 http://au.pcpartpick...ne/saved/kZZqqs Try it now, based on your second build its only about $50's more. Also, just save up for another two sticks and you'll have 32Gbs then. (New build has 16GBs of ram)

@dj26792 also the kraken-61x should keep it pretty cool
