    Any Gigabyte / Aorus RMA experiences?

    So, was doing what we all do in these fun times while being stuck at home and had my FPS absolutely crater out at about 10 down from the usual 144 I'm used to. Look about various things and find out that my 1080tis water pump is dead and I'm hitting throttling temps resulting in the low...

    Hurricane Dorian

    Currently packing up some stuff to head back over to the coast and help my parents and brother get their shutters up and prep for the storm that looks to be tentatively bearing down on them...

    PSA: Buy 2, get 1 at Target this week

    Was grabbing a few things for our work event today and while walking past the electronics spotted the sign. Seems to be for video games, movies, and board games if your interested. Only real restriction is it isn't valid on red dead 2 or certain switch titles. Picked up Spider Man and God of...

    Hurricane Irma

    So, what are the other Floridians doing about this thing now that it looks primed to completely do us dirty?

    1080Ti with hybrid cooling

    With Vega being a bust, it looks like I'm going team green for a bit. Haven't done this since building my brother's computer a long, long, long time ago with a GF4 Ti... Anyway, looking at a handful of cards and wanting some feedback if you guys have any experience. Cheapest options are the...

    Do your due diligence...

    Work 14.5 hours yesterday, come home after 8:30 pm tired and hungry. Cook some food, sit down in front of the computer to browse the web and what not while I eat... Pop the computer on, and I'm greeted to a sound that I've heard before; a clicking sound that gets worse and worse as the RPMs of...

    Bought a new R9 390........

    .... only to find out that the margin of error of my measurements for it being able to fit into the case were... just off enough that it doesn't fit. I've had an original Antec Sonata from probably 2004 so I'm guessing its well past time for an upgrade, but still stinks to finally get the thing...

    That moment when...

    ... your sinuses clear and pressure goes away and all of a sudden you can hear out of your ears like some god damned superhero? Amazeballs... (which is supposedly one word, thank you Chrome auto-correct) Carry on. :D

    Anyone else pick up Papers, Please?

    So, heard some interesting things about the game, bought it when Steam had a small mid-week sale on it, and... yeah, just about lives up to the hype. Not a game for everyone, but... I find it crazily addicting in that gotta solve more "puzzles" way. In the few hours I've played, I've gotten a...

    Biting the bullet soon... Thoughts?

    So, it is that time again, the one we all secretly love and hate; upgrade time! Been out of it for a while, but started to get back into some mild-PC gaming and don't need anything crazy, just better than my current stock without breaking the bank. Currently looking at getting: IvyBridge i5...

    Been Out of the graphics department for a while...

    Well, I've not really needed to upgrade for some time (hence I'm still using a X800 :p ) and never really bothered with all of this PCI-Express nonsense. . Well, I've got a quick question: my motherboard, the ASRock 4Core Dual-VSTA has both an AGP slot and PCI Express slot. The PCI E slot...

    Excel Gurus need some help...

    Hey guys, So I'm trying to figure out how to make a pull-down menu in a cell that has a certain text displayed from the pull down menu, but once you select 1 of the 3 choices, a value is then put in instead of the text you select. For example, if I have the table: Goal = 100 Between = 50...

    Got a dog!

    Feel like sharing this: Click for pic The mug shot from the shelter will have to suffice since he is still there, waiting for his balls to be chopped off and I didn't have a camera on me to take a better one. He's a Lab/Ret/Sheppard mix and extremely playful. Knows basics commands and is...
