I rarely do either but when you do it's so frustrating.

Yes yes it is.

I can understand it being annoying for those who just want to game but there is a lvl of enjoyment with troubleshooting. PC gaming has always been about tinkering more so than just having the best gaming experience.

Dishonored 2 is a buggy mess on PC

And I sure as hell have no confidence in Ubisoft to deliver a good port of Watch Dogs 2, so I grabbed it for my Pro as well.

Aren't all Bethesda games at launch though?

Sort of tired of every title getting shtt on by noob OC reviewers. It is rarely the case and/or they exaggerate the issues for clicks. Trump will fix these BS click bait articles.

Well I might agree with that one.

Comrades,

My computer is possessed. I built this thing with you all's help back on page 80 of this thread in 2013 and it's been the best computer I've ever owned by far.

I'm Starting to have some power issues, wondering if it's time to prepare for a new build/psu/mobo or an easy fix. I have the ASRock Z87 motherboard, and a corsair ax850.

About 2-3 months ago it wouldn't turn on one day. My first thing to try in this situation is always another power cord. Found another power cord, boom, fixes it; however strangely, the old cord works on something else fine. Today, same thing happens and I know there's no chance its the cord again, but I try it just to eliminate it and it isn't the problem. I open it up and try the mobo power button to make sure it isn't the the switch on the case, Doesn't work. I notice my external hardrive is pulling power through the mobo usb with it's lit led so I'm like wtf; unplug and replug in the psu/mobo connection on the mobo and boom it turns on and I come here to td.

Is it possible for the external hd to pull power but not the mobo if some of the pins had dust or something in them? I don't get it.

If I was to go about getting windows through "other means," can anybody point me in a direction? No luck finding anything on the sites I frequent

GPUs can already yes, monitors can't. Don't believe there is a single HDR monitor yet, but I'd be surprised if there isn't one at CES.

HDR makes such a huge difference, for virtually no performance hit.

redid my bathroom for about the cost of a titan.


And my kitchen for another titan (if you don't count the appliances)


I need to take more updated photos, though, with cabinet pulls on and the masking tape removed. The bathroom photo above shows concrete, but we've got this in every room now (except for kitchen and toilet/bath, which have tile):


I'm moving back in this week, family will start moving back in next week.

I'm going to guess when HDR comes out it will cost out the arse just because they can

If I jumped into 1440 gaming now, what GPU would be recommended? IS there anything out this spring?
