A buddy of mine is selling an EVGA GTX 1060 x 2. They've still got over a year of warranty left from the manufacturer, so if you're interested, let me know.

After stuff like this happens, I am officially done with ASUS. Honestly, I wouldn't trust their graphics cards either.

Let's find one. 😁 This time I actually want a decent case, not this cheap junk where everything just runs hot.

Grabbed this too.

Do I need any extra connectors to get everything running, or am I good to go?

I'm thinking about selling my G230. -.- It's just sitting there gathering dust since I got my new Webcam.

I ended up going with the Noctua instead. For one reason: I'm just not a fan of gates. 😁

Forget the Intel Core i7—dual core still rules. 🙂

This CPU is basically just throwing money down the drain. I don't even know why I bother using it. Honestly, I could probably run Grand Theft Auto V on it even if I paired it with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060.

Adam Moore3 said:Wait, why would you even need an aftermarket cooler for an Intel Core i3? Is it actually overheating? 😲

I'm going to run some tests today and see for sure. If those temps are crazy high, I'll grab a cooler.

But honestly, my hard drive and GPU are running hot right now, so a new case is definitely on my list.

Honestly, I’d rather skip the SSD and just try to overclock the R9 290 instead.

But it feels like nobody’s going to agree with me—everyone is obsessed with those SSDs.

Just ordered a Noctua NF-P12 from Best Buy. 😁 Still weighing my options on everything else.

I'm just gonna go with the Corsair and the Corsair LL120. Whatever happens, happens. I think a buddy of mine has some Corsair LL120s lying around, so I'll check with him first.

Like what kind of case are we talking about?

I’m definitely going with the Noctua NF-P12 in white for the case.

Still deciding on a cooler, though... Is the Corsair LL120 any good? I don't need anything crazy since I'm not planning on overclocking or anything. Just want to keep my Intel Core i3 running a little cooler.

Thinking about picking up a new case and a CPU cooler. My aunt actually sent me $100, and I’m planning to flip my old hard drive for $170. So yeah, things are looking pretty good on my end. 😁

Anyway, should I go with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 or the Noctua NF-P12? Which one of those two is better?

Also, what cooler should I get? Honestly, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 feels a bit pricey right now, so I'm hunting for a solid alternative.

I'm hoping to keep the whole thing under $167 max.

I'm out this time too.

Anne - 🙏 🙏 🙏 . Show him who's actually in charge. 😁

A buddy of mine just used nail polish remover to clean off some old thermal paste. I’m not totally sure if that was a genius move or a disaster waiting to happen. Anyone here with more experience than me care to weigh in?

Honestly, they’re just too lazy to fix it. Good grief. -.- 😠 🙂

It’s just not worth your money.

Better to save up for an integrated setup if you can afford it. 😉

If you're looking for an Ipsa panel, you can grab an Acer V236 for about $350. Or, honestly, you could always just pick up a BenQ GW2255 for $800-$900.
