I got my numbers all mixed up. I said z190 but really meant z170 and after looking some more I think I'll be fine with the b150 since I don't ever plan on overclocking. MSI has the best deal on an ATX B150 chipset gaming board at 105 right now on Amazon.

Are there any drawbacks to the B150 chipset vs the z170 if I don't care about overclocking? Or should I open the wallet a little and go with z150 to give myself the option to overclocking if I ever choose to? SO.MANY.OPTIONS

No just Life of Pi. I tried watching Deadpool, but was bored. Need to finish.

The one I want to watch is The Revanent.

Edt: I bet Life of Pi will look insane on your TV.

Just got back from a GameStop myself. Picked up Madden for PS4.

I feel so low class in those places.

Damn, thought for sure it would be Deadpool and last choice was Life of Pi.

Yeah Life of Pi and The Revenant should look amazing.

Really not a fan of comic book movies. It rarely shows the reason why I love superheroes.

Deadpool seems alright, I'm just growing old and that humor isn't entertaining.

I drove past a Micro Center in KC last weekend and almost cried that I couldn't stop. I have never been in one.

So Life of Pi was awesome, best scene was probably when he asks Richard Parker what he sees, and he looks into the water and starts seeing all the these colors and what not. Was probably the most visually "daaamn" part of the movie.

Ah, yeah it's great now. Use it.

They actually update it frequently now and seem to give a shite about it.

Latest version is 4.2.4.25 from 7/20.

At least see if it fixes it.

I just hook everything to lamptron fan controller. I don't think I'll ever use software/bios fan control again.

While my walls are semi-open, I am going to network my house. Thinking 4 ports in the living room and 2 in the other rooms for a total of 12. What kind of Cat6 can I get away with running in the walls? UTP Solid CMR? Hope so. Monoprice has 1000FT for $99 LINK

It's been a while since I've ran/seen any benchmarks. How does mine look for a 2500k and 970 SLI?

Ultra wides?

Blah, get a 32" 4K CrossOver off eBay. Got 2 in yesterday. Love them.

No desk though in this apartment. Will go pick up something at OfficeDepot Saturday.
