I won a prize as part of the AnandTech 20 days of giveaways...but I won the shitty Zalman Z9 Neo case valued at $70, some prizes were up to like 3K value, unlucky.
They want a photo and all my social media and shite to use so I just said no thanks don't need a mediocre case and not worth the hassle to try and resell.
Still cool I won though out of like 18K entries.

Yeah that's lame. What if you don't have any social media like myself? Would a LinkedIn profile pass?

Nope, says Twitter, FB or Insta. Part of the rules to qualify to receive the prize apparently. I imagine it's because they want to post about it and tag you and your photo in the post across social media.
If it was something I actually wanted or needed or could easily resell for a decent amount I would do it, not worth the hassle for a $70 case.
If only it would have been the 1080ti or one of the gaming laptops.

Yeah that is lame. I won a Corsair mouse in 2013 from OCN. Was the 2nd place prize. It was weird to win something like that from a contest. I think Anand gets more views, it's annoying that they want to do free marketing off your social networking.

Wendell being funny
They are correct. The non-technical channels get all the views with garbage videos not giving you any real info.
PCPer and Wendell are are a few of the only technical voices.

Looking for a 27" 1440p 144hz display. Anyone going 4K or ultra wide?!?!?

What's SSD technology looking like these days? Thinking about buying a 512 or more so I can stop having to uninstall games I haven't finished yet to play new games

So my ASUS router shite the bed today after three years, I have an old Linksys hooked up now and the download speed is killing me!!! Went from 19 MB/S on Steam to 10 MB/s. New router will be here on Tuesday.

I've got a few AC routers coming on Tuesday. Almost done with my new htpc too, can't wait to post some pics when I finish

A few! Looking forward to seeing the setup, I still need to put my 2nd computer back together.
Posted on 5/29/17 at 9:50 am to DoUrden
Yea I won an Amazon returns auction that had like 3 or 4 ac1900 routers and a gtx 1070 mini

7900x come to daddy. Happy prices are down somewhat but worried about thermals. Clock speeds and IPC should be solid too.

Asus PG35VQ 35" 21:9 1440p 200Hz HDR 1000 nits Quantum Dot G-Sync
Think I found my monitor once gaming Volta drops. Going to need some serious gpu power to push those frame rates.

I play on a 34" widescreen. It sucks for certain games TBH. Too much real estate to cover to the point it can be distracting. 27" is the best IMO

Not using a soldered IHS is dumb on Intel's part. Going to take some balls to de-lid CPUs that costs over 1k.

For?
Fckk you Intel for holding PCIe lanes hostage again. Only way to get the 36 lanes most really want you have to buy into he i9 lineup @ $1K.
CPUs for gamers aren't where we put out money but we do need those lanes.

Ya, I go back and forth over wanting a 34+" 1440p 21:9 or a 4K 27" with a second 27" 1080p or 1440p running along side. Both options have drawbacks though. Especially dealing with scaling issues with 4k at 27".

Yep. Broadwell E 6850k gave us 40 lanes for under $600. Now you need to jump all the way to the 7900x 10 core part that cost $1k to get more than 28 lanes. Fail for Intel when it comes to giving gamers what they want for a somewhat reasonable price.

Lanes and games are starting to utilize more and more threads.

Yeah I would have been happy with a 44 lane 8 core but I was willing to pay 1000 for the 6900 so since I waited I get 4 threads at least.

Lanes shouldn't be held hostage.we got those same lanes on previous chipsets at $300 bucks. It's surpression for capital gain.
As for the threads. I've run 6 cores E series for years. We have no benefit yet.
Edt: However it is a little okay for CPUs. Just because they are 2-3yr upgrade cycles compared to GPUs on 6mth - 1.5yr cycles.
