Hey all! I just got my EVGA 1080 TI SC2 in the mail and I LOVE the card! It pairs very well with my new Acer Predator XB271HU and the performance is AMAZING! G-Sync is incredible and I don't think I will ever be able to go back to a 60hz panel. Performance was as expected on my first uses in WoW and Heroes, and I did not notice any faults with the card itself. I just got home from work and fired up my machine and *gasp* on the loading screen of WoW I heard coil whine from my card. My tower is roughly 4 ft from my ears, and it's a pretty open case -- the cooler master HAF X Full tower. As of right now I have only played WoW and the whine is present during gameplay, not just loading screens. I will keep this post updated as I play other games! I just wanted to inform anyone that might be thinking of buying this card, as it is no small investment. I'm debating whether or not I should send it back to EVGA or Newegg and go for another one. It feels like a lot of trouble just for coil whine, but that can be a deal breaker for a lot of people, especially at this price point! Best of luck to you folks shopping for your 1080 ti !

Hello everyone! I just built a new computer system and I am not extremely knowledgeable with computer hardware. I know the basics and stuff I have learned from YouTube but that is essentially it. I have a couple of questions about my EVGA 1080ti sc2 hybrid card. Precision X does not seem to control radiator fan speed or my gpu fan speed. The pump can change speeds but I would really like to be able to upgrade the fan on the radiator and attach it to my corsair fan controller to be able to control the speeds. Is there any reason to not do this? Also, when I crank up the "G" speed on the precision software there is no difference between 0% and 100%, where when I crank up the "P", I can hear the and feel the pump working harder - is there anyway to control the fan on the gpu itself so my pump doesn't have to work so hard? I don't think I am having trouble with temps I just want to be sure I know about the hardware in my system. Right now I am gaming on BDO on an acer predator x34 4k monitor on max remastered settings. The game is running at 70-75 fps. The precision OSD in BDO says the gpu is at 42c but the actual software says the gpu is at 50-54c. Those temps are very well within the limit, yes? I just want to be sure I am doing everything I possibly can to take care of my system and keep the heat down as much as possible. Thanks for your time!

First of all idk what gpu is better for my needs: I have a 4k 60hz freesync 27in monitor (planning on getting a second 1440p @144hz g sync 27in monitor). I was looking at a gtx 1080ti from evga the ftw3 edition but I was told about the SC2. So would a SC2 be better for the parts I listed? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/MadeInChina_O69/saved/VBrHhM Im also wondering if I need a gpu bracket for the SC2 or FTW3 gpus.

so after choosing every part for my build " witch is for 1080p 75hz gaming "the build is as following :Ryzen 7 2700x " with stock cooler "Asus ROG x470-F strix Trident Z RGB 2x8 3200mhz Adata SU800 500g.b SSDAsus GTX 1080 Strix A-8G And im thinking about getting the 1080ti witch if i will get i will have to get rid or the rgb ram and the ssd and add an extra 60$ and get EVGA's SC black edition 1080ti will that be worth it ? .. i know its an overkill for 1080p but i want it to last atleast 5 years as i wont be able to upgrade until then ... so is it worth it or should i just go with the 1080 non ti ? Thanks in advance for anyone who will help or already helped =D

Hey! My name is Simon and Today I would like to show my build for you just to give you an idea of how to create a Mid-plate in a Corsair Obsidian 750D. I am 17 years old and have no to little experience in this area, everything I did was completely improvised, except the measuring ofc . Also take in mind that this works for the 750D case and that case only! No other Obsidian case will have the same measurements! The specs on the computer used are GTX 970 G1 Gaming. 4790K @4.8. And the motherboard msi Z97-S02. Having this motherboard allows for the sheet to slide in between a PCI-E slot and all the interface from the motherboard to the Chassi buttons, which makes it look alot cleaner. This might work with other motherboards aswell, but no guarantee. Also keep in mind that this mod allows you too keep the HDD cages inside of the chassi, the only problem is that you cannot have the small handles for the HDD holders, which basically makes them useless, but hey, no need to take them out since they can just aswell be there! To kick it off I will tell you what you need, material wise, skill is not really required. Knowing how to handle big machinery or having someone doing it for you like my dad did is *GOLD*. Note how i clearly meant what i said! GOLD! Optional stuff marked with a "*" at the beginning. One sheet made out of any metal will do. Atleast 325x470x(1-3 should not really matter) millimeters. Metal sheet bender and cutter. A drilling machine with a rather large bit of 25 mm+. This is for the hole where the PCI-E power cables will come up from. *Plexi glass. Almost the same dimensions, 325x470x5. Except a bit thicker. This is to prevent it from cracking since I found bending a thin 2 mm piece was completely impossible. *Spray paint. I used Black and White. Feel free to use whatever. Also remember to use proper paint designed for masking unlike mine, which made it crack and look real nasty, I will have to redo the paintjob completely. At a distance of 1 meter it looks good though! *Sleeved cables. (Mines are ordered and will be here in 1-2 days from the topic creation. Updates will be here then) *Angle grinder or sand paper with a hell of a lot of muscle! This is used to narrow down the edge of the 5 mm plexi to be thin enough to slide below a PCI port on the Motherboard. *Masking tape. If you go for paint, this is a nobrainer! *An LED string to make it look cooler, I went for an RGB one with remote controlling, worth every Swedish crown! *Sandpaper to sand the Plexi in order for the spray paint to grip properly. *Just a writer and some cool icons that you wanna have on your midplate printed out for masking! 750D Obsidian Case ONLY. The measurements will not be proper to any other Obsidian case! Sections This is divided into four, possibly five sections, section 1 being how to shape the metal sheet. Section 2 how to shape the plexiglass and how to handle the surface. Section 3 will be about painting. And finally section 4 will be about inserting the newly ordered sleeved cables and installing the LED string+tips on where to place the IR-Reciever if you bought an RGB one with controller. I might add a section 5 in the future where I build a white cover for the three rubber openings in the 750D (The 24-pin Motherboard power comes out from one of them) to cover the hidious rubber rings and also adding some extra white to the fully black chassi. Once again, this can be done with any color, but personally I prefer Black & White builds over anything else! Section 1 This is the section where I show how to form the metal sheet. So, to get started, I did a prototype with a metal sheet to drill holes etc and to see where things did work out and where they did not. You might decide to stick with the metal which is also a very nice option, then you can just basically skip the ending 70% of this tutorial since it is about painting mostly. The sheet was first cut to 325x470 and then marked at 170 mm in width. It was done with this machine. The machine used for bending it looks like this After a completed bend at the specified point the sheet will look something like this. Test fitting it inside the computer to see if the measurements were correct. Notice how it goes smoothly in between the PCI slot and the bottom connectors. If you use a sheet as your midplate make sure to isolate the ends with more than just paint to prevent it from shorting out and frying your motherboard! Final thing that needs to be done is to drill a hole in the plate on the upper side. This is for the PCI-E cables to come out from and smoothly into the graphics card. This is optional but looks really good. The measurements are a bit different from my graphics card since they all vary in length. This card is really big (Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970) And needed the hole to be drilled at 220 mm from the left side of the sheet, and 50 from the bend, the hole is drilled on the top side. For clarification it would be the side facing up on the picture above you. Be sure to not just steal these measurements but to actually check for yourself if your GPU is in the length of these measurements. I kinda eyeballed it and marked my spot so finding yours should not be to difficult. Keep in mind that when you are doing this step with plexi glass you will have to first drill a small hole of about 6-10 mm before stepping up to 28-32. I learn this the hard way as my first piece broke in half. I also have to add that you need to be extremely careful and lower the drill very slowly, last thing you want is forcing it through the plastic and cleaving it! SECTION 2 Here starts the section where I will handle the Plexiglass. It starts by cutting a piece of plexi in the same size as the metal sheet. Here is where it becomes tricky however, a 5 mm sheet is a pretty tough task to bend, but it is doable. I tried bending it in the same maching as I bent the metal sheet in but it instantly springed back. I layed more pressure and the BAM, it snapped. You can see the crack to the left. The right piece is the new one. I tried a new approach, where I still used the same machine, but heated the edge on the inside and outside of the plexy for 30 seconds each with a heat gun on maximum heat, then bending about 30 degrees in the metal sheet bender. After doing this 3-4 times the bend was complete with a fine 90 degree angle. Before we move on to section 3 we need to do one more thing. We need to sand the both outer ends of the plexi. Without doing this the spray pain will not stick to the surface, but will instead clump up like drops on the surface, if the paint is not designed for plexi spraying that is... After sanding it might look like this. I have no clue how to sand properly btw, I just went full SMOrc on it and it seemed to do the trick. Also, worth to note is that with a plexi plate over 2 mm you will not be able to fit it properly between the PCI-E connection and the bottom connectors on the motherboard which will make it look kinda bad, therefore you need to get an angle grinder. I used a cutting "blade" looking like this. You can probably use most of the sanding ones. Just be careful so that you don't go too rough on the grinder's "blade" and because of that break plexi glass at 3 mm or so. It will ruin your day. I recommend going for quite a while. Surprisingly it takes quite a while to sand plexy and after about 5 minutes of grinding it looked like this. It was not enought and I had to grind another 10 to make the angle even sharper. If you are uncertain of when it's gonna fit snuggly, test it out every once in a while, if it's too fat, go back to grinding! Only one step left before we move on to section 3, and that is the hole for the PCI-E power cables exactly as the one we did back in section 1. If you need measurements or tips on how to do it, just scroll back up to the last part of section 1 and you'll find it! Keep in mind that when you are doing this step with plexi glass you will have to first drill a small hole of about 6-10 mm before stepping up to 28-32. I learn this the hard way as my first piece broke in half. I also have to add that you need to be extremely careful and lower the drill very slowly, last thing you want is forcing it through the plastic and cleaving it! Okay! The first two sections finished! Only two, possibly three in some week if people show interest and think that this was not too much of an amateur's work. For those who missed it up top section 5 would be a plate covering the three rubber holes leading into the cable management section. If you paint it the color you want I think it can really prove to add some nice aesthetics to the build. Anyways, section three and four gonna be coming up today or tomorrow depending if I feel like writing the entire thing today. Also feel free to ask anything about the build! I will try to answer it as professionally and fast as I can! Cheers!

So I just wanted to see if anyone else caught the live stream of this? It JUST ended about 10 minutes ago, and was probably one of their best shows. State of the Game is a livestream show/podcast that JP McDaniel hosts (Former MLG Caster/producer, now freelance) that focuses on eSports in general, and Starcraft 2 specifically. Pretty much all of his guests are from the SC2 community (Players, casters, team owners, etc). This show (among other things) started JP's eSports career. Anyway, the guests were Sean Day[9] Plott (My favourite SC2 caster), Liquid Tyler (Formerly Liquid Nony, retired pro sc2 player), and Geoff InControl Robinson (Of team EG - Evil Geniuses - pro sc2 player, though mostly does management and casting for his team these days). The event was held live at the EG Team studio (Where they host SC2L: Starcraft 2 League). Near the end, JP got pretty emotional when they were doing the shoutouts and wrapping it up. I personally think it's fantastic to have these personalities in the eSports community, ones who care that much about making eSports a legitimate thing. [Edit] VODs here: And this was cut from the VODs for some reason but: JP getting emotional about the show

The Starcraft 2: HOTS finals ended earlier today. There were many emotions that took place over the weekend. Acer's Scarlett was the foreign hope as she was training very well in Korea. Unfortunately, she lost in the round of 8 to Startale.Bomber, who eventually won the tournament. Bomber defeated Taeja with a 3-2 score. It was a very nail-biting series as Taeja was able to tie the score after losing the first two games. Jaedong was another story. His Ro16 group only consisted of protosses so he only had one matchup to practice: ZvP. And he only played ZvP up until the finals where he had to face Bomber. Unfortunately for him, Jaedong lost 0-4 and takes home yet another 2nd place award. It's the fourth time this year Jaedong had to take home a second place trophy. But it was a fantastic tournament nonetheless. Congratulations, Bomber!

Hi folks! So starting today when i try to play sc2 i log in and play but after a while 5-20 min the game freezes up on me for unknown reasons. Windows doesnt recognize that the game no longer responds and treats it like if its working but Nothing on my screen moves and all i can do is look at a still picture of the game. I'm currently running a system scan with avast to see if find annything. Do you guys have anny ideas what could cause this? Pic might be relevant in searching for solutions. No harmful code found. Thanks! <3

Hey guys, the title sais it all! What is your league? What's your favourite build? (the build doesn't have to be pro by the way, just what you usually do). Hopefully it's not a repost, I haven't found a thread like this one but maybe it exists... I'm platinum (terran). My favourite build is 10 depot 12 barracks 12 gas 15 orbital 15 reaper 16 cc 17 factory + reactor @barracks 18 depot #2
