    Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

    pr most likely they'll have 7nm sometime next year and they don't have the timeline to first release 2080 and then 2080 Ti.

    Mini upgrade of Ryzen system ~ CPU advice

    2600 would lessen the strain on the VRM's also.

    Core 9000 series

    hard to say. 2500K lasted a long-ish time. If you think about it it launched in 2011 and only by end of 2017 did Intel change the i5 lineup to 6c. I think we're going to see a bit of core battle in the next couple years, given how AMD is playing this. i5's in 2 years might be 8c(or 6c/12t)...

    Threadripper on Zen+ 32 Cores - Launching Q3 2018

    depending on games. I think Civ and AOTS like threads. That and I think i3/Rysen3 are pointless at this time, since i5/Rysen5 are more future proof and the upgrade is not that expensive. tbh excluding the TOP cpu's, the rest are decently priced in both camps. I mean 170£ for R7 1700 is a good price

    Mini upgrade of Ryzen system ~ CPU advice

    what res are you playing at? 1080p/1440/4k? (i'm thinking you use the pc for gaming mainly) I'd say getting a 1700/1800x would be nice, but it might not benefit you right now. so depending on the res, i think the cpu should do fine. Maybe get a beefier cooler and dabble with some mild OC...

    Threadripper on Zen+ 32 Cores - Launching Q3 2018

    actually 8700k has a bit of edge on min framerates. There are a couple games which favor a lot frequency, so the 8700k will have some higher avg as well, but not anything gamebreaking (from 90's on 2700x to 100's on 8700k). But when you play on 144Hz screens, you might notice(or not). It just...

    Radiator selection

    I've gone through a couple rads now, and I can say this: 1) Magicool/coolgate are dirt cheap but their slim line is decent (after you flush it a couple times !!!) 2) Alphacool UT60/xt45 are nice, build quality is decent, performance wise they are good. 3) black ice gtx are expensive but once...

    Fan theory potential Volta GV104 release date

    Ofc if you're nVidia, there is no need to jump and release prematurely ....volta. As far as i understood from their press releases, the next titan (so possibly the Ti) will be using HBM2. But for the xx70/80 i think they will still be using gddr6. GDDR6 will only get into mass production in...

    Res pump combo

    go for a ddc or d5 + res on top. doesn't really matter what you throw at it, they'll be fine.

    My PC is melting

    it genuinely sounds like a dead(or with one foot in the grave) pump to me.

    My PC is melting

    is that voltage @ idle or are you loading up the processor. When win boots up, it launches/starts services and apps, and the cpu is loaded up. get HWinfo and post a screen when you can. It might not be JUST the vCore(which seems quite good 1.14 for 4.4), your Ring/input might be stupidly high...

    My PC is melting

    as the guys have said, have a look at the voltages, I remember my z87 OC would overvolt massively when it was stock. I need 1.235 for 4.6, 1.29 for 4.7 and my cpu is below average. Just to make sure, if the rad is sandwiched between 2 fans I recommend using the same fan for both push and pull...

    Mo-Ra3 rad with 7x GTX1080ti

    one Mo-ra3 should be enough (if the 1080Ti's are not OC'd). I don't think you need any special fluid, I'd recommend making sure you have a strong pump and you use the gpu's in a parallel setup Putting them in parallel will actually improve flow and temperature somewhat. Just make sure you...

    My PC is melting

    4790k are hot. 1) are you OC'd ? if so what volts are you at? 2) what mb do you have, and do you run the latest bios? 3) try and repaste/reseat your current cooler. 4) make sure your case airflow makes sense. Also crank up the AIO's fan to the max and see if that helps.

    1070 or 1080 from r9 290.

    went from 290X to a 1070. Difference is pretty huge. I play at 1440/144 and the only game that makes me think i could use more grunt is Witcher 3. At 1080p, a 1070 will do it's job wonderfully. With that being said, if you can get a cheap 1080, it might be interesting. Depends if you want to...

    AMD VEGA confirmed for 2017 H1

    I think HBCC is supposed to help 4GB/8GB cards at 4k.

    AMD VEGA confirmed for 2017 H1

    I'm not sure they need to beat the 1080Ti. What they need is competitively priced cards against 1070 and 1080. That's where the meat of the market is. The only problem is the 10x0 series has been on the market for 1 year now. So anyone who wanted one has got one, I don't see them gaining a lot...

    Huawei P10 and P10 Plus

    got my p10 Tuesday for just over 500£(sim free). I'm moving from a samsung galaxy alpha (2+ year old). Size wise, it's a bit taller, it's perfect to use in 1 hand, which is somewhat of a must for me. It moves very fast, emui seems nice enough. build quality is very good, seems around the same if...

    AMD VEGA confirmed for 2017 H1

    That's almost a scary thought. Although Vega probably still is couple months away (1 month till Computex + maybe 1 for wide availability)

    AMD VEGA confirmed for 2017 H1

    wait, wasn't the 1070 around £400 at launch? I think you meant 500£ :))
