After DA3 I lost all hope for Bioware and their games. They lost their drive to make anything original, instead they decided to pander to the lowest common denominator by making it an open space elder scrolls wanna be.

It has a much larger throughput than HDMI.

Basic principals still apply, even with a custom loop you will still get something like 4-5 degrees above ambient temperature. Unless you go for active cooling.

I always try, because there are some that I'm ok with.

And Disney has not **** the bed with Star Wars franchise? I have no faith in them producing anything good...

Yep, they just added their **** to the pile.

The whole thing to me is like poisoning the well. While I can understand why they did it, they still tainted the Kickstarter for any other company that wants to do it, as they showed that they are not really bound by any promise they make. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that jazz.

There are various things you can't uncheck, like the telemetry process for an example. Some people don't care/mind, but others want the least clutter possible.

Did not know that.

It was never the case of nvidia drivers being great, it was that amd's were crap. Btw, there are tools to strip the driver install of any component you don't want down to the bare driver. If there is interest I'll look for some links.

What makes you say that?

Cleans inside and out.

Why not just disassemble it, everything minus the CPU and Heatsink, and clean everything. The biggest issue I found is the dust that sticks to the fans and makes them noisy. To clean that you need to take them off and clean them with your liquid of choice (mine is alcohol).

Makes sense for the SSD then. This is the quote from the reviews I read on it: "The main difference is the way the NAND cells are written, three bits per cell for the EVO, and two bits per cell for the Pro models. So what it the gain then? Well, a perf increase at incredibly high and complicated workloads. Also, writing 2 bits per cell places less strain on that NAND cell for the number of times it can be written, and that increases lifespan. If you purchase a Pro model, you do that solely for the reason of Endurance, which is the number of terabytes written before the NAND cells die off."

The AIO cooler you picked is not that good compared to what is out there, performance wise it's a little worse than my NH-D15. I would recommend switching the Samsung 970 Pro to an EVO (no real performance difference, the PRO only gets you a longer lifespan, which is already long enough on the EVO) and getting something like EK-MLC Phoenix 360 if you can find it. Alternately NZXT Kraken x72 or Corsair 110i GT. Here is a link where you can compare different results for different coolers.

You can grab the tower coolers too, I think, if you don't plan to overclock. They do an adequate job, but require a big enough case and can sometimes interfere with the high profile ram sticks. I personally cool my 5820k with Noctua NH-D15, and it keeps it 30 and below on idle. I tried AIO watercooling (some CM 280) on it and it was noisy and believe it or not performed worse, albeit slightly, than the Noctua.

I remember trying to install half-life 2 from a cd and it asking me to install steam...I had no internet... Hated steam ever since. I am also not a believer of the whole "we rent you the software you don't own it" thing. They can **** right off with that ****. If I buy something I can do whatever I want with it, modify it in any way it pleases me. But I guess everything is becoming a service now.

Steam is **** too... Why would I want to have to go through any additional programs to play games.

This video says it approached an airplane, but in other places I read the f15 crossed in to Russian airspace.

I look at other peoples work and tell them it doesn't work and then listen to them explain to me why it does work.

Hague was a nice bow tie on their present to the Balkans. They legitimized their involvement in the whole conflict and made sure they came out squeaky clean in the end. The only thing that they missed is not having invaded outright, now they have a sore thumb right in their back yard that is chummy with the Russians and the Chinese.
