Favorite Youtube Videos of the week Thread!!!
Yes, I have, I enjoy going to car shows occasionally. On a side note - its scary how many show cars have crap paint, or good paint being ruined by someone who doesn't understand that rubbing that dirty micro-fiber cloth with quick-detailer is just swirling thei car and leaving streaks everywhere... -
Where to buy [enter component here]?
Anyone know where I can buy high quality specialty screws? For example something esoteric like black or black nickle flat top counter sunk phillips M3 @ 8mm length? I found some stainless steel stuff on ebay and amazon but it was horrible quality (bend off angle heads, etc). Wasted $30 so far... -
Upgrade question
Based on those two builds, its a toss up, with slight lean towards the Intel. If you want something different, go for the AMD, otherwise the Intel is slightly better for your use-case. Do note the VRM on the Prime Z370-A is pretty meh - I wouldn't feel comfortable taking it past 4.6GHz, even...- Chilly

Value please guys!
The Full Coverage EK WB are likely around $20-50 each for an outdated GPU. unsure about the rest.- Chilly

Its a Laing DDC pump, rated for 50,000 hours (if properly cooled). PCB probably failed after one too many heat cycles. DDC vs d5 is something like 5% failures vs 0.5%. Contact Swiftech, you'd be surprised what they might do for you (replace anyways, or maybe provide discount on new pump), I had... -
Intel Coffee Lake i7-8700K & i5-8400 Review
Stock vs Stock, Clock for Clock benches (3GHz vs 3GHz or w.e speed you choose), and OC'ed as far as each will go. :thumb: I also like the idea of showing "value" proposition, what upgrade is best "bang for the buck" ($700 for a GPU upgrade, or $700 for new platform), but this seems harder as...- Chilly

AMD selling 8core/16thread ryzen 5s!
Its not the first time AMD cpu cores have been "unlockable" iirc. I dunno, I feel it would be a brilliant "gurella" marketing to "accidentally" release some of the cheaper CPUs as fully unlocked higher end chips. It generates excellent buzz and can boost sales. Please that don't "win" the lotto...- Chilly

bought DIYINHK DDC PCB to repair dead DDC after some research (don't want to spend money on a new pump). Everyone praises Toshiba based PCB, not available, but "newer better PWM based PCB" is, I buy it. After waiting a week to arrive I stumble upon some of lowfat comments... he hates them :/... -
NCIX and Direct Canada removed from PC Part Picker
Actually, I'd love it, I'm sure others would too. While on the topic - there is a site I found a month back, which I've unfortunately lost the link to, that tracks historical prices for a given product type across all brands and vendors. For example if your looking for a GTX1080 - it tracked...- Chilly

Understood, but a concert going well/properly isn't news, its whats expected. The whole support team should be commended for pulling off a flawless concert, I agree, but it still isn't news.THAT SAID, I think what your looking for is reviews of the concert, rather than news of the concert, of... -
The 'What are you watching' Thread
I heard otherwise, I heard that its set in the "prime" timeline (aka TOS/TNG/DS9/VOY). The Klingon thing though.. I just chalk that up to special effects improvements over the years. The Klingon look specifically for this show though? Its been explained why, but mostly, lets be honest - better... -
NCIX and Direct Canada removed from PC Part Picker
yea, the whole "marketplace" BS (where they try and hide it and make it seem like its being sold by the vendor) pisses me off. Started with Amazon, but now newegg and even BestBuy do it! Makes it hard to buy stuff like memory cards due to many of these 3rd party's selling counterfeits. :blarg:- Chilly

Well, its not really newsworthy though "Concert goes off with out a hitch - exactly like what paying fans expected" shrug. What makes the news typically (outside of politics and such) is out of the ordinary stuff, be it the cutesy stuff on slow news days, or negative stuff. Has little to do with... -
NCIX and Direct Canada removed from PC Part Picker
Good to hear you guys are fully independent. :thumb: I am saddened about NCIX though, it (alongside sister DirectCanada) was my go-to for many years. Still, the market isn't as bleak as it once was many years ago, even with NCIX exiting. We still have; Mike's Computer Shop Memory Express...- Chilly

The city has been installing those flexible road markers (see photo below) all over the city. They installed one (as a divider between what they consider the "in and "out" lanes) in the parking lot where I park the car last week... I'm forgot its there (and the reflector isn't.. well it doesn;t...
