    AIO Failing?

    I'll give them a look. If I remember correctly one was warmer than the other. Also there is a but more slushing around that I recall before. I have ordered a Noctua Nd-h15 in the meantime and am trying to setup a warranty replace.

    AIO Failing?

    I have an h100i that I've been using for about 3.5 years. I moved it from a 6700k system into a 9900k build today. When running Cinebench a number of cores are hitting 100C. I've tried troubleshooting what I could. In bios I set the pump header to 100%, repasted twice, and reinstalled the...

    Ryzen2 3000 Series Specs Revealed

    I'm happy with the processors themselves but the costs I am hearing for motherboards has me a little worried. It might be a costly upgrade once I factor in new ram. In reference to AMD stock. I bought in at $1.80 and sold around $6.00. Wish I held that a little longer.

    PCPP's New Look

    I liked it at first since it looks a bit sleeker. Then I noticed how large everything is. Lots of scrolling. It's nice on mobile but oddly I plan a lot of my PC builds on a PC.

    Ryzen2 3000 Series Specs Revealed

    Seeing those 4.5ghz rumors. Can't wait to get a cheap processor that can likely overclock close to those Intel chips. Ready to try AMD for once.

    Upgrading cpu and gpu

    Use all the savings from Ryzen to get an SSD as a boot drive and that system looks good.

    Looking to buy a better video card

    Those rx cards are really nice for the money. As mentioned before the 570 may be a few dollars more but will do a nice job. Plus it doubles the memory to 4GB. 2GB seems very low for a lot of games.

    Sad, Sad SSD

    I like to wear two straps and link the clamps together. That way I know both wrists are safe from faults.

    Sad, Sad SSD

    I know it's off topic, but I find those wrist straps annoying. Once I saw how resilient a lot of the tech is now I stopped using one and just touch metal every now and again. No problems yet. I just don't rub parts on my carpet or have my cats help with the build.

    Ryzen2 3000 Series Specs Revealed

    I have been happy with any Intel products I have used but it's tough right now. That 9900k is way too expensive. I have a habit of buying a higher tier than needed but I am not going to $600 for it.

    Ryzen2 3000 Series Specs Revealed

    I just saw a story that Intel will be releasing yet another Skylake refresh this year. Ryzen 3000 is looking that much better. Can't wait. Now I just need to start saving.

    (New owner)Corsair Strafe RGB how to set more than 2 Zone Colors?

    I know I was able to customize my K70 completely with some Corsair software. iCue I believe is the name. I have set patterns, strobs, by key lighting all within the software. It allowed selection on each individual key as well as zone options. It wasn't the most intuitive so I ended up...

    Ryzen2 3000 Series Specs Revealed

    We are planning on upgrading from the 6700k. My girlfriend wants to upgrade but has requested we wait until summer for the 3000 series. I'm not going to fight with her about it. Who am I to argue if she wants 8 cores and more speed.

    Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X or Cooler Master H500M

    Do you find the Meshify C noisy? I have a Define C and have though about switching for the better airflow. It really is a nice form factor. The case has a little less room for building but it fits really well on a desk.

    Resident Evil 2...remake

    I played this a bit last night and am enjoying it. For some reason when I turn hdr on in Windows then on in game it seems overly dark. Off in Windows and on in game it looks great. Is that toggle in Windows setting even needed when a game has the toggle?

    What are you currently playing?

    I am playing through Skyrim again. The last time I played I don't recall doing any of the DLC content. I figure now is a good time. The weather is so bad I spend all weekend inside anyhow.

    Ryzen2 3000 Series Specs Revealed

    That's good to know. My system is starting to feel sluggish when running a few programs. There are more background processes running than I realized. I have a feeling part of it is from Windows 10/chrome updates.

    Ryzen2 3000 Series Specs Revealed

    I've been avoiding upgrades for a little while now and doing fine with a 6600K. Ryzen has been interesting to me but these new parts will likely get me to upgrade. The price for those cores and speed is amazing.

    Pixel 2/XL 2

    I am using Project Fi currently. I really miss having options for phones, but the cost keeps me there.

    Pixel 2/XL 2

    That has been disappointing to see. It would be rough doing a warranty exchange immediately on a device. Sounds like it is best to wait a few months until issues are resolved.
