    In China - What's a good buy?

    I should mention that I'm in Beijing lol. I should rephrase this a bit: What's a good buy, and how do I know it's not going to be a fake product?

    In China - What's a good buy?

    I wasn't really sure where to post it, as I'm covering basically all the subject-specific forums, so I thought I'd throw it here. I'm in China for a bit, and it's getting time to upgrade my machine. What's a good buy here, right from the source? I was thinking of maybe some Barrow...

    Pro Tip - Don't use Afterburner's "Apply overclocking at system startup" setting

    Self build. I'll be setting up a system restore point tonight. I thought Windows 10 did it every week though? I have all my drivers, utilities, etc, in one spot, which I'll be copying out to a flash drive, good idea! A clean install has been on my mind lately. Maybe this is the time!

    Pro Tip - Don't use Afterburner's "Apply overclocking at system startup" setting

    Yeah, those are all great suggestions for troubleshooting! I hope this post saves someone else some time. I wrote this post as half "I'm stupid" and half "heads up". Lesson learned about startup though! I tried the Bios setting to use onboard graphics only, but that still didn't get me into...

    Pro Tip - Don't use Afterburner's "Apply overclocking at system startup" setting

    64 bit W10 Home. I don't exactly know what happened, but the last thing I did to my PC before going to bed was AB overclock and firing up the miner. Without a recovery/installation thumb drive, it kept looping through the WHEA error screen and restarting, eventually just stopping at a blank...

    Pro Tip - Don't use Afterburner's "Apply overclocking at system startup" setting

    So I tried that, and Windows threw me a WHEA-UNCORRECTABLE ERROR message, with a QR code and a generic "We are collecting info about your error and are restarting for you". The auto-repair feature didn't work either, ending with the error.

    Pro Tip - Don't use Afterburner's "Apply overclocking at system startup" setting

    Good idea! I ordered in a bunch of sticks the other day, I think I'll turn one into something like that. It wouldn't have taken nearly so long if pulling the card wasn't such a pain in the ass. One of the GPU tube runs was so short I couldn't really move it much. At least this gave me a...

    Pro Tip - Don't use Afterburner's "Apply overclocking at system startup" setting

    I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but I didn't have another system to plug in a drive to. I did manage to get to a command prompt with the W10 installation disk, so I suppose I could have deleted AB that way, but I didn't think of that....

    Pro Tip - Don't use Afterburner's "Apply overclocking at system startup" setting

    Pro Tip - Don't use Afterburner's "Apply overclocking at system startup" setting It turns out, if your overclock isn't 100% stable.... it'll stop Windows 10 from booting. I couldn't get into Safe Mode, even with a recovery disk or a installation disk. My only option was to pull the video...

    Buy a 2nd R290 or upgrade to Vega/1070+?

    So I've got one R290 on water right now that's doing acceptably. I even have a second full cover waterblock for it that I never got around to getting a card for. At this point, would it be worth getting a second one, or should I just not bother and save my bucks for a newest-gen upgrade...

    My first thought would be heat and cold issues with any physical storage media in a vehicle. Did you have any problems?

    Elite Dangerous?

    Just started yesterday - wow! I've got my rig setup for Star Citizen, but it's a happy coincidence that it works just as well here. Lots to learn though....

    Ok , what's the deal ?

    It's all watercooled; Aside from the room turning into a furnace, I'm not sure heat would be an issue. Are those numbers good? What could I expect?

    USB 3.0 hub

    I picked up the Amazonbasics 10 port hub, and it came with a power brick, 60W I believe. No issues yet; seems to supply lots of power. I've gotta say though, the wrap around USB plugs are more annoying than I thought it would be, for cable management and looking clean. Edit: link...

    Any reason NOT to use slim radiators?

    Is there any realistic reason to use massively thick radiators vs thin ones? I'm not going to quibble over 1 or 2 deg C, as I'm not going for bleeding edge cooling. The advantages to be gained with extra space over multiple builds seems to far outweigh a slight improvement in cooling.
