im just so increadably happy that someone finaly used the 970 turbo :D:D:D:D it looks so AWESOME !!

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I saw that beast and said "yeah, that's going in there, I'm glad they were out of stock of the original one I'd saved", lol. Was planning on an EVGA stock design, but they were gone. Only EVGA ones they had were the hybrid ones, so I opted for this instead. very nice sitting in there

I was really scared that when I opened this post there would be gory pictures of dog bites and a picture of a chihuahua.

The dogs are to the right, out of frame. Tried to keep them, and their slobber, as far away from the rig as possible, lol
