The PC gaming Thread. Steam/GOG/Origin/Etc. Game/Software/Hardware talk

is it possible to position the CPU heatsink/fan on an AM3+ board to exhaust the air towards the case’s rear fan? The only positions my fan can face is towards the bottom where everything else is, or towards the top where I get some ventilation.

make a shroud out of some cardboard and point the exit channel to wherever you want the heat to disperse

The CoolerMaster Hyper 212 solves this problem. You can orient it however, provided your memory isn’t too tall. Heasinks on memory is fucking dumb anyhow, but I still dremel’ed my son’s PC in order to get clearance. I made some sparks, It fits better and I don’t have two useless heasinks cluttering up my desk.

SRK PC Gamers:
I was kind of curious, I have been gaming on laptops for the last few years and I have decided that I want to build a dedicated master race desktop since I have the time and the money to do so now. I would say my budget is 3000 or so, and I basically want to build a good performing desktop that can run high end games. I haven’t build a PC since the pentium 2 days, so I am a little rusty. What would be a good resource to walk me through the build, and what kind of build should I make considering my budget.

lol your budget seems a little high lol. No way should a really good pc cost you even more than $1500-$2000

best resource is just ask the SRK peeps.

If you want to spend 3k…

980ti sli
New gen i7
4k monitor

It would be beautiful.

X99 Motherboard
DDR4 RAM
Whatever GPU(s) you want
The best i7 you can buy
Everything else is gravy

Path of Exile’s expansion releases tomorrow. I think the expansion releases right as I need to leave for work according to the timer on the website. :expressionless:

Who’s all going to be playing? @Manx @ShaftAgent @ElderGOD @RickRoss @PozerWolf @HeaT B)

well, somebody has gotta deliver all those pizza pizza flyers flyers to mailboxes.

A new act?

Will update.

Also, is anybody interested in the news of IBM’s new chips using 7nm? I hope we can increase raw processing power + pipelining.

I wonder if this means we will see the rise of PowerPC architecture in home computing markets. Completely barring Power Macs of the 90’s since those were 50/50 dicc.

I heard we gotta wait awhile for them to get to the public, though.

This is true of all free aoftware. Cluncky unintutive controls.

should be a bit less than 3k.

im waiting for dx12 benchmarks to find out if ill be going 980 ti sli or fury x cross fire. I want to go hardcore sli with the current build I have because I know im just gonna have to build a new one when the new guys start arriving. new build winter 2016 I think, preferably wireless technology because my current set up looks like a spider web.

look at where we are already

if ya’ll looking for a multiplayer game, this shit’s fiya

Looks cool, next Steam sale I’ll prob grab that.

I can’t really recall which (if any) of you guys in this thread are console gamers as well, but just a heads up that Rocket League launched free for PS+ this month on PS4, so that may be an option if you wanted to check it out.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about that Rocket League game.

I work as a pimp and your sister is my bottom bitch.
