^ I lol'd. If you're using an ASUS Router and not using Merlin Firmware, you're doing it wrong.

I used to totally agree with that @mkopec, which is why I'd never delidded anything in the past. I've owed every generation of Intel's microarchitecture from Nehalem all the way up to now at Kaby Lake. I was too paranoid. I'm not too sure exactly when these delid tools came out but my Skylake...

I was pretty blasted when I did mine. Probably helped me though because it helps steady my hands. Doing literal surgery work with essential tremor is not easy so, yeah, maybe I made the right choice? The only thing I felt super uneasy about was the "re-lid" process. I thought the kit came with...

I'm bored and have no one to play with tonight. If anyone is on and looking for a partner or another person, add me on steam (jeydax).

Got my 7700k stable at 5.0 Ghz after doing the delid process. RealBench 8 hour test (with 16 GB RAM) I'm averaging about 70° C. Running Playerunknown Battlegrounds I'm at about an average of 63° C. Feelsgoodman.jpg Edit: For reference, I was getting 90-92 C at 4.9 Ghz pre-delid and it wasn't...

I just replaced my SteelSeries Sensei mouse with a Zowie FK1. I don't like to have 400 buttons on my mouse. It is very similar to the Sensei so there wasn't much of a "feel" change to it, and a large percentage of pro/good/well known? CSGO players use Zowie's (see here). But I don't know shit...

^ What Alkorin said, but for your on-board graphics. ASRock should have the VGA drivers listed for the motherboard. I went on their website and it looks like you'd probably want to try and get the Windows 8.1 x64 VGA drivers listed here: ASRock > Z77 Extreme4 Here is the direct link to the ones...

Well. I'm drunk. Not tired. And I just noticed that my Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut showed up yesterday in the mail, normally the wife gets the mail. Time to fuck this CPU's day up. Edit: So I gotta say, I'm very happy with the results and I can't recommend the delid tools from Rockit Cool...

It is an exhilarating game for sure. Personally I've yet to run into a cheater (unless I just haven't noticed?) I wouldn't say it is "plagued" by cheaters. Yes you will have fun playing it on shit settings. Solo is fun, but squad play is a lot more fun and I think the game is better when you'e...

According to camelcamelcamel the lowest they've ever been is $371.66

I figured Acronis would be what I'd want. I'll take a look at that and GNOME Disks. Thanks guys.

The actual install isn't the issue, I've reformatted about 1000 times and I've used a USB 3.0 drive since they were available for the installs. What I want is an exact replica of my install - and not just for one drive. I want it for everything. Drivers, games, programs... everything. I just...

For $8 you can get the relid kit for exactly what you're talking about. Re-Lid Kit - 1150

Every once in a while my 6P will poop out at 15% or so as well, although it seems to happen more often when it has been in cold winter temps or hot as hell summer temps. Total it has happened about 5-6 times so it isn't rampant for me. I really wanted the 6P to last me another year but I'll have...

You get out of here with your "logic" and "smart-thinking". What could POSSIBLY go wrong?! Edit: I'm going to start out by using the Grizzly Kryonaut for both die/IHS and IHS/heatsink connections since I won't have anything else. I ordered some Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra and Grizzly...

Holy shit! Talk about coincidence. My wife is out of town too. And my delid shit will be here Friday. Drunken delid partner night? (no homo)

Another question for peeps: After I get my OC all dialed in I'm going to be setting up a fresh format of my computer. Is there a program that can effectively make an exact clone of my entire setup so that if I want to format I can just load up the file and be on my way? Would save a shit load of...

Too bad I wasted all of my luck on getting it early on in the league. I haven't seen anything remotely good since. Had to buy all of my other pieces for the most part.

Yeah I confirmed it elsewhere as well that using it as I want to would be fine. Liquid metal seems to be the better solution, though. I won't get to delid until Friday now, shipping got delayed. :mad: So I think I'll just get some liquid metal shit for the die/IHS TIM and go that route. Damnit...

Question for people who've delidded in the past (I've not done it yet, been pretty lucky with my chips): Can I use the Grizzly for between the chip and IHS or do I HAVE to get a liquid metal type TIM for the delid and then use the Grizzly between the IHS and Kraken?

Well I'll let you know how my experience goes tomorrow. I grabbed some new thermal paste as well because the ArcticSilver5 or whatever it is that I had was old as hell and I guess Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is the latest and greatest stuff out there.

Yeah I've decided to stop blaming the Kraken. Idle temps are totally fine at 26-31 C depending on the ambient temp in my office. I ordered this thing last night and will be delidding tomorrow.

7700k. It is certainly probable but I am going to test the other coolers. I might just delid the thing and be done with it.

No. It was very easy to install. And it is an extremely quiet unit, which is pretty nice. No ticking noises like I'd had on the X61. The issue is temps. I've already redone my thermal paste twice (fwiw I've never had to redo thermal paste, maybe I've been extremely lucky when applying in the...

Well, I'm kicking myself for getting another fucking piece of shit NZXT product. What a joke. Why oh why didn't I trust my gut to get a different cooler. God damnit.

I lucked out at the start of the league. I still have yet to fix the suffixes but this thing is a beast.

Cool, that gives me a little piece of mind. I normally don't buy stuff for my main rigs just because they're available. I can second the "quietness" of the R5, as well as the note on Noctua fans. In fact I just bought 10 new Noctua fans for my new rig. I went with 3 of the Noctua NF S12A ULN...

Ele Wander is awful compared to a poison wander/finder. I don't get the hard-on for that build when people are missing out on so much DPS while maintaining the same defensives. What is your account name, I can plug your gear/info into Path of Building to show you how big of a difference there...

I believe it is Netflix. I've been grabbing them off of IPTorrents.

FWIW: 4K content has really started picking up in the last 6 months (I'm more specifically talking about torrents). I normally download shows like Better Call Saul and Stranger things in 2160p and put them on my Plex Server to stream through my nVidia Shield (10/10 would recommend the Shield). A...

Well, I guess I'll find out Saturday. I still need to pick a case. I don't think I'm going to use an R5 this go around, mainly because I need more room for all the shit I have accumulating in my rig nowadays.

Anyone ever use ZOTAC for the GPU? I'd prefer to go with an EVGA but I wanted to get my parts ordered today so I could get my new build up and running on Saturday. I ended up getting the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 Ti AMP Edition.

The Cyclone changes make me actually want to play it in 3.0. Probably start the league out as a Slayer and move to Pathfinder after that.

I've got two R5's at my house. The stock fans are pretty good and I wouldn't waste any money in replacing them. They're very quiet fans. In other words, if you're getting additional fans for the case, that is fine, but I think it would be a waste of your money to replace the stock case fans...

Well, it doesn't matter anyways. I didn't really look into it after reading your comment. First news result: Nexus 6P Bootloop Nightmare Turns Your Phone into a Fancy Paperweight « Android Hacks What happens is your device will reboot, then get stuck on the "Google" boot logo. No combination of...

It takes all of 5 minutes to reflash the Nexus 6P. Have you tried that? This thread can walk you through it: [GUIDE] Unlock/Root/Flash for Nexus 6P

I'm probably going to be updating my build pretty soon. I don't really need to but... yolo? Here's the build: Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core, GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB SC2 - System Build - PCPartPicker (plus two additional SSD's and an HDD for storage... I need the extra RAM for work related...

Siosa definitely sells Cast When Damage Taken after you've completed his quest, A Fixture of Fate, and you've done The Eternal Nightmare quest in act 4. Anyways, I can get one for you today. Friend me (jeydax) and I'll message you when I get on.

I helped a coworker setup something similar at his place and it made it go from their cell's getting a signal 50% of the time to them having 2-3 bars all of the time. So it worked but those things are very situational. Find out which direction the nearest tower is so you know which direction to...

The UI in PoE is absolute trash. I'm not expecting them to go full blown WoW addons and crazy shit mode but it needs MAJOR work.
