    Game Streaming Services - Stadia, Geforce Now, xCloud, PS Now

    Amazon's Luna service works well, reliably 1080p/60 using the Windows 10 app, no real noticeable latency playing through the first couple races of GRID. No real reason to keep the service, but it works as advertised so far. We could have a use on our Fire Sticks, w/ 4 kids and it allowing 2...

    Yeah, was going to go down that path but had the money and wife capital to get the Odyssey G9 and one came into stock at the right time.

    Computer Issues

    Just played a game for 30 minutes that shut me down last night before I undervolted/clocked/whatever: PCH, CPU and my m2 all peaked around 70C. My m2 went up in temp once I stopped playing, probably because the 3090 isn't doing it's best PS3 impression when the fans are off and is more...

    Look, I've already unplugged the stripper pole and 4 rooms of RGB it was powering, other than that it's just a few fans, the RAM and only FIVE hard drives, pfft. I've never undervolted, will get MSI Afterburner installed and look into how not to fuck that up :) ty sir. Related:

    Nope, not at all. Stock / out of the box.

    Computer Issues

    So I got a 3090, yay. But now after 10-20 minutes of some games, my computer shuts off. If I can rule out heat, that's almost always the PSU (850W Thermaltake), right? Things I've done - added more cooling - monitoring temps - ran a different power cable to the other connector on the GPU...

    Yeah, I'm trying to prevent my 3090 from cooking my m2. I'm going to put this fucker on it and I put a couple of PCI slot exhaust fans below the GPU. That thing looks so badass there's no way it won't work .... um, right !? lol.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I agree, just wish it was in a form I could enjoy. I can't play old EQ, just too antiquated for me at this point.

    Xbox Megathread

    This shouldn't be news, but it will be anyways: Phil Spencer: Xbox doesn't have to ship Bethesda games on other platforms When directly asked whether Microsoft could recoup its $7.5 billion investment without shipping The Elder Scrolls VI on PS5, Spencer responded "Yes." He then provided a...

    Playstation 5

    UI looks good, only concern is maybe always having a bunch of prompts about game progress/trophies that are always ignored to get to the things you are trying to get to. Some of that integrated into the overlay like that seems a little strange, I wonder how much that will be supported. Best...

    I liked this performance a lot. Sterling K Brown is great, but he's a bit too flat for Leo.

    So ultimately my resolution to this instead of getting a new case and doing a full transplant, was to just get a 1-fan AIO and replace the fan behind the CPU. Was going to put the Wraith cooler on it, but realized we put that in my wife's machine and not sure where her stock cooler ended up...

    The View 37 has a glass wraparound cover, if I had other spots to put it I'd do that, absolutely.

    So, first world problems... have a 3090 coming. It's not reasonable to try and mod my case for it to fit the vertical mount for airflow reasons, right?, So should be preparing to retire the AIO and get the Wraith Cooler my 2700X came with? Pardon the dust/cabling/rgb. This is a View 37. That's...

    I was surprised, Thrustmaster even had a one-sheet made for my old PC/PS3 Hotas X on their site. I'm much more comfortable using the Xbox controller though :( Played it using the Vive last night, was pretty awesome.
