I was in the same boat as you with a 6p. Bought a used Lenovo P2 for around 140eur. Best thing ever - cheap, so I don't need to be afraid of droppig it, nearly stock android, fast enough and, to top it off, 2-3x the amount of battery life of when my p6 was new (so around 2-3 days). Not going...

Wow. A whole 100mhz improvement for the i3? Now people can choose between slow and a little bit less slow? What is the difference between 8600 and 8400? One is okay, the other one is a bit more okay? Their product stack is weird, ryzen made a bit more sense - bigger gaps between products (maybe...

Oh yes. Genious idea. Great PR move. Probably as good as blaming violent video games for mass shootings and proposing some sort of ratings board for games and other entertainment software. Perhaps an entertainment software ratings board, can get shortened to esrb or something. So probably now he...

The more - the better. Worst case - you can run your fans as slow as possible or even turn them off and run the pc with "passive" cooling while it's idling. I have a 420x60 cooling a 1080ti and a 5960x and I'm thinking of adding two more 240 radiators just so i can run fans even slower and keep...

Aren't petrol and lpg cleaner fuels, compared to diesel? Why don't we leave diesels for trucks, tractors and other heavy machinery, where diesel engines work very well? Is it just the price of fuel that people look at? I've driven petrol cars all my life - can't see how some increase in fuel...

What european cities are those? I'm from europe, maybe haven't been around that much, but I've visited Edinburgh, Rome, Oslo, Stockholm, some other places and myself come from an eastern european country and every time it's faster to use a car. The only time I've had a very enjoyable trip was a...

I think you really underestime the power of suggestion. Do you not know any people who buy the thing the salesperson reccommends or that looks the best, even if the price is high? Or the thing that they have seen ads for countless times instead of the cheaper, yet unknow alternative?

Didn't Verizon or ATT block or throttle Skype to favor their own offers? Didn't the same happen with FaceTime? And peer-to-peer downloads? And something else I am forgetting? All of this before 2015. Not sure, not from the states, just the whole internet was up in arms against this decision and...

Wow. Don't want to be holding btc when all these people need to sell their bitcoin to get at least some money back to cover the loans. Will be a tidal wave of people scared that btc will crash and they will panic-sell, causing said crash... Good thing I put the money I can afford to lose into...

Great. Now I can ignore it on Android as well. Although, I did find the browser emulation thing useful, when microsoft's media creation tool was borked and I had to pretend I'm using Safari to get access to download the win10 iso... Just Microsoft things :)

Phanteks P400S is pretty good, comes in a windowless version and whatever LEDs it has - they can be disabled. I have one, it was pretty easy to build in, as a lot of external parts can be quite easily removed leaving you with a "roofless" frame to work in. No 5.25" bays, though, if you need one.

I've been poking around the BIOS to somehow iprove my cpu's overclock/stability (4.3ghz @ 1.28V) and noticed the option for PWM frequency. I know that the higher the frequency - the lower the efficiency on VRMs but lower voltage ripple. I have a waterblock stuck on there (on the cpu as well) so...

"Heyyy, we came up with this cryptocurrency (like BitCoin!!!) and we are trying to sell it at this arbitrary price we thought of - come buy and become rich. We got <<insert some semi-famous person's name>> supporting it!" Yup, seems legit. At least that's what the ads on my facebook feed look...

Never said it was unnatural or that we are not a part of nature, but we are more capable than any other animal on the planet and, for better or worse, we think we know what we actually don't know (or just don't give a damn). What I meant was that we, as any other animal, have an impact on the...

I think it's pretty clear that we, humans, are unable to be a part of nature and it has been this way for a very long time. Even if we really want - we can't. Humans have caused extinctions of many animal species way before civilisation rose, and now, with all the technology available to us that...

"This damn younger generation is a useless bunch of dumbasses. Now MY generation is just so great - we do everything the old fashioned way" - every generation ever.

Cheaper, have a good cooler if you need the gpu to exhaust the hot air, clock as high as any other aib card when given better cooling. The only reason to get a non-fe is when you want to air cool it and have a large case with good airflow.

Don't know where you are getting this... My 6P came with a usb-c/usb-c cable and usb-c charger, my wife's huawei p10 came with c/c cable and ar 3A charger. Isn't that quick charge?

Sigh... When I was a kid we didn't have fancy eclipse glasses. We took a piece of broken glass, held it above a candle to get it all sooty and it worked great. Didn't need to buy stuff to use once and throw away... On topic - let 'em. Fun to watch these :)

I think the MSI 1080ti Armor or any of the Founder's Edition cards will be the cheapest. The MSI armor one has a non-reference pcb, so might be harder to find blocks for. In any case - most of the 1080ti models seem to be very, very close to each other given proper cooling - just get the...

I have a similar chip, a 5960x, and I'm getting into the 70s at 1.3V and 4.4GHz with a 420mm rad just for it and a ekwb supremacy evo waterblock. I think that an aio is not as effective and also that you will reach a point when the thermal bottleneck becomes the ihs/tim. In your case you'd need...

As far as I'm aware, nvidia and amd pretty much stuck mgpu support onto game devs in dx12/vulkan. Looking at how games are released semi-broken more often than not, I personally have no belief that game devs will waste their time on the few people that use mgpu. Perhaps some, but I'd bet that...

I tried wiggling the cable, but the bigger issue is that the optical port is not lit. I'm quite certain the sound card part of the motherboard is pretty much dead, as there is no sound over analog outputs and it does not detect of anything is connected there. A usb sound card works fine.

Just an update: Updated BIOS to the newest version, reinstalled windows, tried different realtek driver versions. The realtek control panel shows that there is something connected to the front panel jacks (both headset and mic icons are lit up), but I have not even connected the front panel...

Newest drivers from Asus and output is set to "Digital output (Optical)". I will try to mess around in the bios, must have missed something. Just tested with another PC and optical works fine. Seems windows is not actually using the optical output on the htpc as it stays dark, even though it's...

Just built a htpc with a Asus p8z77 and a 3570k. Have an older Denon receiver that has no HDMI, but has TOSLINK and coaxial. Before this I used an old acer prebuilt pc with a g45 chipset and a q6600. I built a S/PDIF adapter plate that connected to the motherboard and it worked well. There were...

I was just talking about the reaction to the fact that it's set in the US. Nobody bats an eye when it's one of the other countries (although GTA is sort of set in the US, but it's an alternate version of it). Anyway, I agree with your point that it's played out a bit and the drug cartel setting...

Excuse me for not taking my time to make a comprehensive list of all the possible targets. I was thinking about current times, not historical.

After reading some comments: When it's a game about shooting brown people (or eastern europeans) - everyone's okay witht that. When it's a game set in the US - suddenly there's people worried about how it will portray the country.

Probably because we don't really have 4k@120hz or 240hz :)

I had a similar issue with a pj, long hdmi cable, pc and a tv tuner - with the tv tuner as a source it would start flickering and lose signal within a minute, the pc was no problem. At 720p the tuner worked fine. I figured my cable was too long and/or too crappy and perhaps the tv tuner had a...

Why not connect one of the monitors to the Onkyo and use it as a passthrough? Must both monitors be using DP?

Just looking at the shitty internet speeds you guys get in the states and the price it costs where one of these isp giants is involvesd shoud be a wake up call and a good reason for the government to regulate it. You have bandwidth caps? Wth is this, dial-up? There is no competition between ISPs...

If a company wants to do business abroad, they have to abide the laws of that country. Otherwise every company would be registered in Bullshitistan and would do whatever they please.

That's what I will do to test it - I'm not that stupid... As for grounded pipes - all pipes ar copper, they are grounded in the basement (there is a ground wire coming up from underneath the house and it's connected to the pipes and the fuse box). Pipes are not insulated - they are electrically...

First of all - I'm in Norway. The electrical system here is a bit different. There is no neutral. In a normal house you'd have two live wires (230v phase to phase, 115v phase to ground) and a ground. My house is quite old, needs rewiring (which hopefully will happen next year) and all I have is...

Yes, i have a furnace in the basement that has been converted to use electricity to heat the house. The pipes should be grounded, as far as I am aware. I will check on that, though. I'll try to google, maybe I can test for that somehow. I will also try to take the pc back to the other room just...

Nope. That part of the house is using wiring from 1947 :)

Would a radiator work?

I will try out a psu from another pc and a ground loop isolator. One more thing - when I had the sound card in the z77 system I also had my pc in a different room. That room has newer electrical installation and the electrical sockets hve a grounding pin. Now I'm using a room that has old wiring...
