Cryorig PSUs? What the what? I'm in. Yeah hopefully they go with Flextronics, Seasonic or Super Flower.
 
If Cryorig's PSUs are consistent with quality in their coolers, I'm also all in. I'm probably going to stick with my 1440p Acer for a good while. Well, it really depends. I think I'll try out VR when it is in retail stores (probably summer), and if I like the Rift, I may get it. If I think it's not worth the $600, I'll probably get an ultra-wide 4K monitor, if they exist, and a couple high-end Pascal or Polaris GPUs. I'll have to work my butt off in the summer, but it'll be well worth it.
 
Little update...Been busy with a huge 13 page proposal for junior year...just finished it. Also been having some....issues.

I bought an iphone 6S. I paid for half and my dad paid for the other half so thats cool. 16GB space gray...I decided to switch to apple after being an android fanboy. I still like android, im just more open minded now.

Also tomorrow Im buying 5 hours in a C172 and I have a flight lesson tomorrow....so yeah theres your update.
 


I was a long time android fan, specifically Samsung, had an S3, S4, but the S5 broke several times, got sick of it. Wasn't impressed with the S6, ended up getting an iPhone 6S 64GB Space Gray, it's a nice phone. I don't have much time for tinkering these days, its reliable, my current gf and I can use all the same chargers, it works.

Anyway, how is everyone? As much as I'd like to burn my Saturday night reading the last 40 or so pages I'll just ask that anyone that cares to share give me a brief summary of their lives for the past 4 months. Haha, miss you guys, I'll check back soon!
 
STICK!!! STICK!!! I MISSED YOU :rofl: Im smiling right now haha! In terms of what you said about android...same here I still like it, just got bored. 6S is nice and clean....my life for the past four months...hm...got my drivers license, still a junior in high school lol, been having my ups and downs with family and private stuff, I just flew today WHICH WAS AMAZING!!! Ive lost 35lbs of fat and built muscle so Im in better shape than ever...and yeah a bunch of little things like going to Louisiana to see my sister, been getting a lot better at guitar..and yeah man a lot of stuff happened haha.

How about you? How are ya Where ya been (if you dont mind me asking)?
 


Ugh. Coolmax. I actually have seen a Coolamax before that was not terribly bad. The Coolmax CUQ 1350W is actually quite good. Check out the Jonnyguru review http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=96

I'm unsure how that Coolmax is, but it might be fine.

Edit: The Coolmax 1600W unit is based off the Rosewill Hercules. So most likely strictly average.
 


I think his prices are a bit exaggerated since he only listed Amazon prices. Each Titan X, according to him, is like $1150. 980Ti new is $650, so two of those is already $1000 saved. I think he should be selling it a bit cheaper personally.
 


I almost bought a $1600 guitar at a pawn shop for $240 but the GF said I didn't need ANOTHER guitar. LOL
 
Tiny - Why did you listen to her!! xD Haha just kidding..240 is a good deal for a 1600 dollar guitar, but what guitar is it?....I wouldnt spend more than 1000 on a guitar. There are some great guitars in that price range. Yeah so ive been getting (not to sound cocky at all) so much better...I learned this from start to end EXACTLY how he plays it. (Nay sound hard to believe but I put SO MANY Hours into this song, and the guitar. Also know how to play his arrangement of Hello by adele)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpjR3yyBi3E I learn all of my songs from him, and only him...great in depth tutorials

Have you been playing lately?
 
Sweet! Got any acoustics...? How good are you haha do you have an audio clip? Im pretty sure I have a small 30 second video of me playing part of "say something" (Didnt record the entire things its too big a file) I can probably put it on a site and send you the link (just my lowerhalf and the guitar shows thats why im willing to do it haha)
 
What are the average load temps on the new skylake stuff? I read on overclockers.com that 60c range under 100% even with a h110 aio cooler is completely normal and pretty good temp. Im hitting 65c MAX on my hyper212 evo with corsair af120 fans in push pull under synthetic benchmarks at 100% load. That sound about right?
 


I don't know how to gauge how good I am. I'd say I'm decently better than average. I've been playing for 13 years and can play pretty much anything out there aside from some classical stuff.

I do have an acoustic. An Ovation Celebrity Deluxe. I play it mostly with my GF when we play together. She plays Ukulele, guitar, mandolin, etc.
