Was thinking my Fury with 3 fans was going to be bad but apparently it's more silent compared to a dual fan system. Honestly my case fans make more noise than the card. Overall my whole system makes less noise than my PS4 winch is amazing considering I'm running 4 case fans, 3 GPU fans and a cpu fan

My main rig is in a CaseLabs Merlin. They are made for water cooling so the noise suppression isn't there. Now my Fractal Design cases are all jam up with noise suppression.

Can someone help me with a new laptop? I am looking to spend around $500-$600.


What's the laptop going to be used for?

So I'm essentially a newbie to OC'ing but both GPU-z and Afterburner have my clock at 1784 but heaven has it at 1911. Why is that?

What does GPU-Z show while Heaven is actually running?

That was while it was running. I just assumed it was Heaven's error because Afterburner had the same clock. Set my core clock to +150 and it seems stable. Was able to get a 7k firestrike ultra score and passed the firestrike ultra stress test. Is 80 degrees Celsius under extended load okay?

Thought I'd post this in here...

Is there a way with this new Windows 10 anniversary update to prevent Microsoft from collecting any of my data?

I really don't like this basic, enhanced, or full data option sent to Microsoft.

I'd rather have it completely off.

I don't think so. It's terrible. One reason I hate W10. It would be great if all that shtt was turbed off and they wouldn't force apps on you.

I was out drinking last night and stumbled on one of these...

My buddy was encouraging me to buy that or an i7-5820k

Any recommendations on a controller for PC these days? My xbox 360 controller for PC has been perfect up until 3 days ago when it started losing connection every time I move my arms. I babied this thing too. Not one time did it get thrown through my monitor.

Grab a cheap Logitech F310 gamepad.

Can get one for $10-15 from your local Best Buy. Not flashy by any means but super cheap and is compatible with most games.

Went to my first Micro Center in Houston today to pick up a 2160 GSync monitor but really disappointed. Why no glossy screens? Everything was anti glare.

Is there even a 2160 GSync monitor which doesnt have that anti glare film?
