speaking of alcohol, cleaning my cherry-mx switch with alcohol (91%) fixed my issue with the E key

shout out to Corsair support for the suggestion. they also said they would replace my keyboard if that didn't help :salute:

You should be fine with that. I would have got the GTX 1060 6GB myself though. 480 is fine at 1080p and some light 1440p.

Yeah I ain't tripping on 4k yet like that, don't even have a 144hz monitor :flabbynsick: probably upgrade in a year & half though :ehh: I heard the 1060 was better for pre-dx11 games and the 480 might be better for future dx12 games. Passed the cash to AMD this round, keep competition alive :mjgrin:

So now that I got my computer done and my 1070 put in what's a good overclocking utility? I got the gigabyte 1070 windforce oc edition.

Is there a way to easily liquid cool my GPUs? I'm hitting 84C on my top card when sli is at 99% on each card (like watch dogs 2 or Witcher 3).

I wanna overclock my shyts, but that's not happening on air. I don't want to fukk with a double loop or whatever the fukk custom water cooler systems do. I want a simple setup like a CPU liquid cooler

Need help selecting components for a decent gaming rig. It's a Christmas present for my nephew. I know he plays league of legends... Anyone got any tips? Thanks. I would prefer a case that would be easy to open and access things when needed.



Budget will be at about 1200

He already has keyboard, mouse and monitor.

I have an i5-3570k and an AMD R7850 card :flabbynsick:

What's the best AMD card I can get to upgrade that won't be too much for my CPU to handle? I'm running an Elgato HD60S capture card with my PS4, and I'm seeing that I cannot capture gameplay at 1080p/60fps with this gear.

i've got an i5 3570k as well.
i'm running it with a gtx 970.

i'm playing fallout 4 maxed out at 1080 and i'm consistently at 60 fps.

this cpu has been with me since i got this rig and is still doing right by me.
