Not without using a more expensive material (which is what you want to avoid) or reducing power consumption a great deal, no, and the latter will not happen without significant changes to how power is consumed. Even then, copper would still be best. Not only is copper more conductive with...

I just bought a 2x16gb kit of the same exact specs (3600mhz/c18) and it doesn't even get past 2800mhz. Not sure what is up with these garbage kits but they do not seem right. I'm surprised someone else was having this issue too. It's rated to 3600, how can it not just XMP that? I assumed my...

You will want more RAM, not faster, (3200 is fine, even 3000 or 2800 for a larger amount is fine, just never 2133), for these purposes. CAS latency matters less than people think it does especially these days and is overrated to the extreme. In all the latency testing I did the benefits of CAS...

Copper is an incredibly conductive material. It's why it's so valuable; it's why it's one of the highest theft items in construction sites and such. Some thieves will take all the copper from something and leave the product itself because the copper is what matters. It happens a lot in...

Over play sessions blood flow lowers to the fingers especially because of grip types. The carpal nerve plays a part, but blood flow is also a big issue. I have some very bad RSI/carpal tunnel/finger issues from overplaying competitive shooters back in the day with poor personal health practices...

No it doesn't (edit: just realized this intro sentence makes no sense, so more like, No that's not the main reason, lol). However, the article is wrong it will stop all mining, of course. The reason mining contributes so heavily into the price of GPUs is the ease at which a profit can be...

lol they had to use their cute OC button to get the charts to work right x3

fyi, they were charging 960, 1000, and 1030 (in CAD) for the EVGA opening cards here. So, not really.

You're overheating, that's why the bluescreen happens. Warzone is not going to run well on those specs; I had a 1070 and it ran bad as it was, and that was with an 8700k. What cooler are you using?

bit of a necro but I'm adhd posting so I'll engage Just make a few profiles, 10%, 50%, 100%- then switch when you are doing different things. I run them at 0% or 10% when doing basic browsing/work, and just stick it on 100% when gaming. Ran my 1070 at 100% for probably 1.5 years total and it's...

unfortunate exchange rates, not sure why our dollar is valued well, i thought our economy exploded already

try sfc /scannow

are you saying 950 cad or usd? if it's 950 and 980 cad then that lines up perfectly with the usd equivalent. 980 would convert to less than what we were shown. I understand that doesn't favor you and is unfair but it's consistent. I was prepared to go drop $800 usd 2morow morning but the line...

iCUE is a terrible software with obnoxious CPU overhead, buggy design, less control than other software, zzzz i hate icue and saying icue is the biggest + with the builtin command center no one liked or wanted (gee wonder why its included) makes me definitely go look to ekwb and just cut my own...

so im going to bet a whole canadian dollar that Looks like I'm not bothering this launch, I'm not as, well, stressed. Maybe a bit, but I definitely will not support theoretical scalpers,which I find even more ridiculous. Maybe paying a premium for overnight shipping vs waiting two months...
