    Battlefield V

    Sorry, question was aimed at Sludig. I have a controller attached for Rocket League, but early on BF1 detected it and enabled console assists on PC. They eventually disabled such an advantage, but it may be something similar now with the new game. It doesn't immediately mean they intended PC...

    My Newegg cart...please dissect.

    Those builds kind of suck. They are all Ryzen based (no judgement against AMD at SOME price points) and the storage recomendations are outdated. The highest end "End All" recomends a Samsung 860 Evo 250gb at $75, when you can get a 970 EVO NVME for $25 more. Frankly, spend as much as you can...

    Alright you whores, is it worth server/race transfering my character to hyjal to hang out with you fucks?! I'm possibly talking the GF into playing this for the first time ever. I haven't played since Mid-Cataclysm.

    I would not use it on top of the IHS, especially if you have a cooler with ANY aluminum. AS5 is so behind the times. Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut for liquid metal, and Kryonaut for thermal paste all the way!

    Stupid simple with the Rockitcool kit. I was slightly nervous about booting for the first time, but pretty confident. Note: I work in IT, and disassembled a laptop twice today to bare components. The "sketchiness" of this mod did not scare me much. If you do liquid metal go REALLY light on the...

    Yup, the 970 Evo 1TB is $100 cheaper. Only real benefit of Pro is higher durability, but for home use this is basically a non-issue.

    Jesus, I just bought 2x16gb of PC3200CL16 for 320. All the research I did found PC2666CL14, or PC3200CL16 to be the sweet spot for an 8700k, anything beyond that is a 1-2% gain for a significant price increase. Why the Evo Pro? It's not faster, and way more expensive.

    For the record I'm not arguing my current 16gb of ram is limiting my performance at all. It's totally a CPU bottleneck. I just want to avoid adding mismatched RAM at a later date.

    When I purchased my 2500k in 2011 I bought 8GB with it. A year later I upgraded to 16gb, but by then it was impossible to find identical RAM. I got the closest I could, but the slight mismatching in timings led to some issues with overclocking, so I had to back off my OC from 4.6 to 4.3ghz...

    Let's not discount the internal politics of dealing with Verstappen. They are clearly at odds with eachother and Ricciardo probably doesn't want to have to fight to be the number one driver on a team. Hulkenberg is a solid driver, but I'm sure Ricciardo negotiated to be the no-question primary...

    Smokers / Grills

    I've got one of these. There are newer models that connect by bluetooth to a cell phone, instead of the dedicated receiver. I don't know how the bluetooth range is, my 732 reaches a solid 20-30 feet through multiple walls of a house. Once you get used to it it's pretty easy to program.

    I would be very surprised if Ferrari gives up Kimi for LeClerc next season. He's doing a very solid job of keeping Ferrari in contention for the Constructors trophy. That would go out the window with a second year rookie.

    Building a server for all your needs.

    I'm trying to stay away from ZFS and it's rigid nature. I have access to a ton of mish-mosh drives and want to use something like BTRFS that more flexible in adding and removing drives. Hence looking at Rockstor over FreeNAS.
