Sent PM, I want that 2080 Super!

Threw together a system out of old parts I have lying around.. i7 970, a blast from the past! God I miss when CPUs would overclock like this :)

And my poor little Plex rig in need of an upgrade:

Stock 12700k, just installed everything yesterday and haven't had time to OC it yet.

If they bring back the Ninja Turtles one, I'm in. Otherwise... nah. God I'm old.

Hah! Crazy to see this thread pop up again. I've still got mine, now houses my Plex rig. Oldest piece of hardware still in use, by far!

I highly recommend this sound card! Upgraded from an X-Fi Titanium HD a couple weeks back, and it's been the best card I've used in the last 15 years. No driver bloat, sounds fantastic, looks great too. Awesome price AthlonXP, GLWS!

Can't say I've ever seen that issue before, though I don't use Chrome but a Chomium variant called Vivaldi. Regarding detection rates.. Never had an infection myself, and neither has my mother in law who's computer illiterate and browses facebook and crap all day.

3 PC AV = 1 license for three devices max

I highly recommend the Dragon cable. Comes in lengths up to 3M. https://www.musicdirect.com/stereophile-award-winners/AudioQuest-Dragon-HC-15Amp-Power-Cable

I've been running it since it was renamed SecureAnywhere. Wouldn't run anything else on my personal PCs. Mostly, because it's super quick to install and it scans faster than anything else. Never had a problem or an infection. Rumor is that it uses less system resources than Windows Defender...

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but free Darksiders 2 - Definitive Edition. Redeemable on Steam. M7R95-VJIP5-F27IV Please post if you use it, so nobody else tries to activate it ;)

Thanks... Just picked it up. Physical copy for anyone who's curious.

What other components do you have? An RTX card might be overkill depending on your CPU situation.

1080ti or 2080ti if you have the cash. 1080ti is a little less than 50% faster. https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/the_division_2_pc_graphics_performance_benchmark_review,5.html 2080 is also a valid choice I guess.

4726 with an i9 9900k @5.0 across all cores. 3200 RAM. Will test with higher frequencies and more voltage over the next 24 hours, as we're in for some cooler than normal weather lol

I recently upgraded from an overclocked 5820k to a 9900k, also have a 1080ti but running on 1440 resolution. I'm seeing much better performance in Battlefield 5, so worth it for me. Benchmark scores have improved a lot as well. Unless you're playing BF5 daily, I'd say wait for the next generation.

Stratosphere: Conquest of the Skies. Would love an up to date recreation.. One of my comments on the game was used in an advertisement :)

Webroot.

Here's my humble workstation, with test rig to the right.

My buddy Ashley is there from Gulfstream. I wasn't so lucky, being in a non-admin role currently. Sounds like a blast.

I'm so jealous. Was looking for one of those cards a while back when I was into collecting, had an open post in FS/FT for years.

I'm seriously impressed with how the old 7970 has held up vs the GTX 680. 7970 came out a year before the 680, yet is running circles around it. Great job AMD!

I'm still running my 920 in an HTPC box that can do nearly anything. Nehelam was great, but Gulftown even better! It does seem Nehelam was the largest jump in performance for Intel and the near future isn't looking too good.

Solaris 7. That OS just worked, hard to believe it's 20 years old at this point.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 427 hrs on record I miss EA games being on Steam, lol

RED designs some amazing stuff, would love to get one of these but it's way outside my budget. If you didn't know, Jim Jannard who started Oakley owns RED.

Worthless. Like a a used firecracker.

Another long night of patching Windows servers for this crap. SCCM and scripting helps of course, but think of all the man hours lost over stuff like this. Exceeds the cost folks pay to unlock their shit.

Use Swedish snus. Problem solved.

5849 Graphics & 6681 CPU. Can't wait to get that 1080ti.. http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/18862960?

Geek Squad is hit or miss, depending on the store. I worked for them for 8 years, and ended ended up working my way up to ARA until leaving the company in 2013. During my time there NO customer data was available for external review unless data recovery was requested (handled by Knoll OnTrack)...

Oh man, a Swiftech! You all are making me want to build a retro rig so bad...

No, no plans for USB-C unless the next iPhone support it for faster transfer or charging. All of my storage is internal, so no need at the moment. Kyle and/or Paul - If I win, can you autograph it? Paul - you're allowed to void the warranty in order to check everything out if it passes through...

I still prefer Webroot over any other AV, and gladly pay the $5 a year for a three machine license when it's on sale. Webroot uses far less resources than even MSE/Windows Defender. Norton and McAfee have crippled millions more PCs than Webroot ever has, though the new Norton isn't too shabby.

Looks like you got a few bad caps on that board ;)

You may need to manually install and update Punkbuster?

I've been a *nix user since 97, and a Gentoo fan since it first came out. These days, using Sabayon as my only Linux distro and still use Solaris as well if uptime is a concern. At work we use Suse & RHEL, though I'm not an admin of those :oldman:

DBPoweramp has been my choice for years now.
