Alright, those who recommend an FX 8350 for gaming show yourselves.

 

Please stop that are you trying to kill people's PCs?

 

DragonWar peripherals...

 

 

no... just no...

They work great for me! Luckily I used to collect old computers and still have a few from the 80's that work fine, no PSU fires, no VRM's running after the cat. 5150 owners are reporting failed power supplies, the coating on the windings degrade after 30 plus years resulting in a short. Puff a smoke and a pop but no mushroom could.

 

 

Samsung is an awesome brand. My first hd was a Samsung 640 meg, I would avoid Kingston after what they pulled

Good product for sure but the aggressive advertising means I may no longer run it on startup. Just the odd scan here and there which is such a shame because when you cut the crap out, it's p good.

I don't have it as startup or as background process. And I've got pro version which would have more auto-care like stuff.

 

What about things I don't recommend that lots of people do?

I had this with Corsair PSU before everyone else started also notice how many of them turned out bad.

I do as well which is why I don't like how it aggressively advertises.

Cause I only run ASUS boards for the most part which dance around almost all other fan controllers, ever dedicated ones.

Do you recommend any products that nobody else seems to? Personally I love the phanteks ph-tc12ls as a low profile cooler, but over half of the recommendations for it have been by me.

It would be narcissistic to claim being the only one recomending a given product, however, there is far too many people recomending the Hyper 212 evo over better less or equally expensive options

I got an Asus x99 Deluxe mobo partly due to me wanting to not use my 5.25" bay fan controller anymore.  I found myself always just leaving it on high and now that it adjusts per cpu temp, it's so much quieter and my temps are still fine lol

For HTPCs, Home PCs/Office pcs they are not bad.

Even for some light-medium gaming they are good and allow for a nice upgrade path. Have you seen the Skylake i3 clocked at 3.9Ghz? I wanna see some benchmarks xD

well they are great for gaming considering there price, i just want something that talks about bottlenecking correctly, for all we know the a pentium could possibly not bottleneck a titan x and we just got how bottlenecking happens wrong, and why did i not know of that sooner? a 3.9ghz i3 will be devastating against all other budget cpus around $120 and lower

If your MOBO had a temp gauge (readout), I would agree. I run my pump off the CPU fan and the fans for the radiator off of the CPU OPT, I set the fan and separate pump profile in the bios of the MOBO. The fan control lets me check case temps at a glance, not having fan wire running to the MOBO is nice too.

 

 

And that lighted touch display.

If anyone asks you never saw me.
