Yep! Insane how the prices changed, especially on Video Card end. I suppose they might even fall a little more.

Couldn't wait either after seeing a 6900 XT for $700 after Rebate. Ordered the following a few days back: Gigabyte 6900 XT OC. i5 12400F MSI MAG B660M Bazooka DDR4 32 Gigs of DDR4-3200 by OLOy 2TB Teamgroup MP33 M.2-2280 Zalman S2 Case EVGA SuperNova G6 850W 80+ Gold. Was around $1500...

Wow... so many supporting spending a grand on a video card.

So my wife and I have Xperia XZ2's and been getting texts from AT&T at they're shutting down their 3G and we'll need to "upgrade" our phones. I thought they were doing so by mistake, but some testing revealed that the phone does drop to H from LTE when making calls. So... Anyone else in a...

Meh, its a roller coaster as everyone knows, this is 3 days later: Bitcoins steep drop drags Tesla along for the ride.

You can invest into real estate stocks which can be easily moved and divided. I guess I see your point about government suddenly going Commie on us - but is protection from the chance of that happening really worth 47k per coin? Plus you can invest in real estate stocks overseas instead which...

If the main appeal of BTC over normal currency is the fact that its resistant to inflation then why choose it over something real like... Real Estate?

Ok, what exactly do you "miss out" on? An investment "opportunity"?

I haven't really looked at mining since the original Titan cards. Are all cards good at it nowadays? Cause if only top end is good - then why are the mid-tier cards missing off the shelves?

All I know is - whenever I hear about a scammer getting someone for thousands nowadays - they seem to force the victim to send them money in bitcoins. To be fair its been a few years since I've actually personally heard of a scammer succeeding in such a way so maybe situation has changed.

I don't even get the value in bitcoins. Seems like they're just used for shady stuff.

Update: I think Cyclone was right about the tightness of the mounting lugs to the motherboard as those seemed loose. Either way - I put in the Noctua and now the processor is running at 4 Ghz and Intel Burn test can't get any of the cores to 70 degrees. I love it. Thanks everyone for your advice!

Hmmm... I guess its possible. I don't have any of the original stuff so I can't be sure. I just ordered Noctua NH-D15 so I guess I'll try to make sure I follow directions on installing it extra well to make sure I don't miss some mounting pieces.

Managed to clear it off using a plastic scraper that came with the Arctic paste. Cleared off the processor re-applied everything. No improvement. Actually it was 1 degree worse - but I think it's cause the room heated up. Speaking of - maybe that's the difference here. I'm in the room next to...

Will take some pics of everything when I try tonight. Gotta wait for family to go to bed before I have time to play with it again.
