    So i picked up the Markus from Ikea after seeing it mentioned here a good few times.

    Feels good so far,feel like in the upright position it gives me a much better posture than my last chair did.

    And also having a headrest is pretty nice,its something i didnt realise i was missing on my last chair.

    So the 1950x has hit 650quid. I paid 400 quid 2 and a half years ago for a 6 core processer, now you can pick up a 16 core for 1.5 times the price. AMD are putting the screws to intels pricing models.

    It might be worth picking up a second one of these at this price and using as a server cpu.

    Everybody has stock, allegedly the only gpu that's still selling well is Vega as its hashrate is pretty good with some algorithms.

    I was going 1080 for 1440p 144hz, is the 1070ti much different?

    90-95% at stock, identical with a core overclock.

    Was going to pull the trigger on a 1080ti myself but have decided to wait for the 11 series announcement and see if prices drop or if they'll be competitively priced.

    Be crazy to buy a card right now. New gen right around the corner and supposedly Nvidia are seriously overstocked on the 1000 series. They ramped up production only to see mining sales plummet.

    We could be seeing big discounts on those cards in the coming month as they look to clear inventory before launching the new gen. It's rumoured this inventory will even delay the release of the new gen.

    So I moved the desktop upstairs yesterday.

    WiFi card was installed and running alongside LAN since a few days.
    However, last night I went WiFi only, was working grand until I got a game freeze in Overwatch.
    Pressed the reset button.
    Now Windows doesn't see the WiFi network anymore - and blue screen fails after about 30 seconds, even at login screen!

    It was working fine for 2-3hrs before the crash loop started.

    Also it's a Noctua NH-U14S; I'd notice if that came loose!

    Decided to replace my sticky old Bitfenix Shinobi case. That soft-touch coating did not age well. Really liked the look of the Meshify C that was linked in the Main PC images thread, so I went with the Black version. Upgrading my tank of an air cooler to the Celcius S24 AIO. Should scratch the upgrade itch for a while. Just hoping everything fits now!

    I have an S24 in mine and fits no problem. Temps are excellent.

    Oh awesome! Wasn't sure what you had in there. I probably should have just asked :D Slightly worried about clearance at the top of the board, as the Asrock Z77 Pro3 has everything positioned quite high. Probably worried over nothing tho. Not using tall ram modules.

    Did you fill the front with intake fans?

    The top mount is offset towards the side at the glass so you should have no problems with that. I have low ram too. Have two Corsair ML140's for intake.

    Check it, your focusing on the wireless card but ignoring the fact your normally static pc just got jostled around. Pc gets moved, turns on, starts playing games, gets real warm real quick, blue screen, now only lasts 30 seconds, because its not cooling down?

    It's definitely the WiFi card.

    The PC didn't get jostled around - I walked it up the stairs and put it on the bed.

    Booted into Safe mode, was able to save all photos/videos I needed (took about an hour).
    Reinstalled Windows (drastic, I know), no problem during install.
    In Device Manager, WiFi card still had a bad driver.
    When I tried to install driver with card IN, the system would hard lock.
    When I tried to install driver with card OUT, the driver installed no problem.

    So, installed driver, put WiFi card back in - hardlock after 30-60 seconds.

    Amazon have refunded the WiFi card (Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I) and I've ordered a new one (ASUS PCE-AC56 AC1300).
    ==========
    *edit*
    Tethering off my phone, everything works. Just have to reinstall EVERYTHING...

    Installation went great. The Meshify C really is a nice case to build in. Water cooler seems to be working great. I also bought some thermal grizzly conductonaut. I'm no extreme overclocking enthusiast, but I am interested to see how well it'll work. Using the stock paste on the cooler at the moment so I should be able to make some cool graphs once I log temps using each :D

    Even though summer is probably over, I feel like finally attaching the AIO to my 980 Ti.

    Is this everything I need in addition to AIO & NZXT Kraken G12?
    I feel like I'm forgetting something.
