Good enough for me

Mainly is there a way to lower the thermals on this? I am going to get a new case soon cause i am passing hardware to my kids to build a computer with them. When i take the side panel off the temps lower quite a bit. I know airflow is an issue in this case (phanteks p400), but i was wondering if...

I have been doing some research and noticed that the 1080 and 1070ti amp PCB's are very similar if not the same. I have been trying to find a full coverage water block for either if they are the same. Any thoughts or help on this? It runs hot (76-78c when gaming) which i have read is quite...

Do you feel this might be a memory issue over a GPU issue? My brother lives in California and I’m in Oklahoma so getting his power cord would be difficult.

I had a 10 y/o old monitor and it kept failing to recognize my GPU (gtx 960 4g bought off a friend). I figured it was my monitor so I bought a new Dell 2415h. plugged it in and all was well. Unfortunately it has started again. I just bought this monitor 2 days ago. I watched a Jayz2Cents video...

Would it be worth getting or waiting a little and getting the 1050ti?

I am asking him if there is still a warranty on it. Seems like something I don’t want to pass up on. Essentially it’s a slightly better 1050 to for $100 cheaper (at current prices)

A friend of mine is selling a EVGA 960 4g supersc for $100. I trust him that it works well and he has had it for 9 months. No mining. He replaced it with a 10 series card. Should I snag it. I’m putting together a build and this could save me on buying a newer GPU at the current prices. This will...

Ok experts. I need your help.... again. I am saving money to build a new computer. Currently i am holding out for a 8400 and an MSI board with the B360 chipset. I am torn on a graphics card. In a perfect world i would love to get the 1060 6g or a 1070, but saving that amount with 3 young...

I should have mentioned that my brother is upgrading and letting me borrow his i7 2600k with mobo and ram until I get my parts in the case. That’s the reason for the cooler and fans. The case only comes with 1 120 fan in the rear as well. I may not upgrade to the 1060 and save up for a better...

Trying to save a little scratch on a first build. I was going to go for the 1060 6g but currently i have an older monitor that is 1440x900p. I am not a frame chaser i just want a good experience. would the 1050ti work well on this monitor on high settings? as far a s CPU goes, I am waiting out...
