Mod Note: In all of my benevolence (and the fact I'm tired of cleaning gag posts out of the BA thread) I have created a new (did we ever have one??) Off Topic thread for all your randomness and IT-related humour! The rules are: there are no rules. Although posting on-topic stuff here or stuff that belongs in Hardware Discussion etc. better may be moved randomly with extreme prejudice!! It will also make you look silly

I have a Coolermaster HAF 912 Advanced,Theres very little room around the back:(
No room to run cables behind motherboard tray and the side panel behind the motherboard has no convex section to stuff the cables,its flat:(
Ive stuffed all the spare psu cables in the bottom HDD cage and cable tied them in so least you cant see them through window on the case.

I just threw a few pics up on the Your Main PC thread there,you might be able to see what i mean

Quickfire TKs are moving it seems. I just got an email it'll arrive on July the third :P Dispatch estimate, 29th or 30th.

I keep hearing green-sum on ebay.. seems to be popular. I'd just go with whatever one is cheapest and has the best policy when it comes to dead pixels i.e. no more than three.

Got homeplugs today.

Thank. God.

The connection isn't a whole lot faster than my previous 150Mbps WiFi adapter, (2MB/s IRL) - I'm up to about 3.5MB/s IRL speeds - but damn, is it reliable. No more stuttering when streaming, no more server drop-outs every five minutes, no more lost internet in the middle of a download...

I'm pretty sure I'm right at the edge of capability though. Side by side in the same room, TP Link's software reports a 486Mb connection. In my room? 84. :P Still just about enough to stream 1080p DTS content though.

I'm using the PA511 kit from TP Link, if anyone's curious. NB: The damn things come with CAT-5 cable. Make sure you pick up a couple of gigabit ones.

Monotype

LOL at putting a CAT 5 cable in. I don't think I've seen anything below CAT5e for sale or with anything for a good few years. CAT5 still supports 1Gbps iirc, but only on very short distances (probably enough really for connecting to your PC from a nearby wall). How much would they even save by not giving you CAT5e?:rolleyes:

No problems here, but I've noticed they updated lots of things. Player profiles and stuff are different.

GTX 760 looks solid and good value for money.

BloodBath

Yep Nvidia got the price point spot on. The 7950 has finally been knocked off it's throne.

cherryghost

Wouldn't be surprised if the 79xx cards get a price drop soon, probably the 7870 too.

Danger781

I was set on getting two 7950s but now I don't know.. The 2GB VRAM is a small bit off putting when it comes to 1440p, and I haven't seen a 3GB version yet. Hoping the 7950 gets a price drop to compete a bit better.

Edit: Found a 4GB for over €300

Serephucus

I'm personally still hoping for a 760 Ti that I can flash my 670 to.

Sephiroth_dude

whats the difference between Ti and gtx? which is better?

Serephucus

There's usually GTX 700 and GTX 700 Ti cards. One (the Ti) is usually a slightly beefier version of another. The only reason I want a Ti is that a 760 is a downgrade from a 670, and can't be flashed, because the hardware is slightly different.

BloodBath

How is it a downgrade?

Serephucus

Because it's (marginally) slower than a 670 in most cases.

Already seems to be a few 7950's dropping down to €250.

Very tempting indeed. I was looking at buying the Club3D for overclocking.. Is the Dual-X voltage locked?

.... Not AFAIK, but take that with a grain of salt. I'd stick with the Club3D to be honest. Difference of only 30 quid. Well I suppose that's enough of a difference to consider it. You can't go far wrong, the worst you'll have is a poor overclocker. You'll get 1100mhz either way.

But when I'm looking at getting two, thats a saving of €60.. Would bring my total build cost below €1500 including a 1440p monitor..

Ah. I'd go for where the saving is. Be happy with a moderate OC of ~1000mhz then, airflow will be restricted in CF anyways.

I read somewhere end of July. Although that could have been the release date for the 8000 series..

Genghiz Cohen

In other news.

cherryghost

Yeah, and it still didn't satisify digital foundry when they tested it.

31st July, public release date.

I think that is looking like the better option.. I've seen the Dual-X recommended numerous times as well
