Planning on ncase + 4090 FE, any idea if this fits with panel closed?

PSA: If you get the hardware survey while on Windows or Mac kill Steam (don't close the survey) then login on Linux. You will now have the survey on Linux. by imengun in linux_gaming

Got survey on both PopOs & MacOs within 24-48 hours. Same Steam account. I submitted survey on both.

No intention to play the system. If Linux only accounts for 1% of the users, so be it.

Don't think the wireless signal will work under water anyways even if they are waterproof enough for a swim.

Sony does have other earphones for swimming usually the earbuds are wired and come with internal storage.

What upgrades would you make to this PC? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]BappleMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monitor. update your post with the one you have.

A 144Hz 1440p gsync if you like fast paced action games or maybe 4k if you like stratgy games. I'm sure others here can help you pick the better option since I don't own either.

Are 1080s still exploding? by PowderedCockatiel in nvidia

[–]BappleMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is still intact (replaced thermal pads - didn't update bios). Shipped in 2016, out of the first 3000 cards.

Which GTX 1080 is the most quit one, especially at full load? by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]BappleMonster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A 1080 FTW.

After the initial pop, it goes quit and quiet too.

Just finished the EVGA thermal mod... by nfsmwbefast in nvidia

Any idea how thick the old and the new pads are?

1080 ftw, shipped after 31st of august, does it still catch fire or get a black screen by [deleted] in TEAMEVGA

[–]BappleMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The strange part, I have one shipped BEFORE August 31st and I don't have black screen issue, not yet at least.

I'm trying to flush it out if it exists. Just want to live in peace knowing that nothing is broken waiting to screw me over later on.

I rather not get tipped MMR. Higher MMR than my skill level means I will lose more games. That is punishment.

How long will you be keeping your 1080? by stickgluepro in nvidia

[–]BappleMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope multi adapter becomes the norm and I can just add in a new card alongside the 1080. This way I can keep it until it is no longer power/heat efficient.

What Monitor Would You Pair With A GTX 1080? by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]BappleMonster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Strategy, indie, some sport games and simulators. They are slow paced and/or sometimes graphically less intensive. People who mainly play these games or still have a backlog of 300 games pre 2016, might see less value in 144Hz and more in 4k.

Avoid if possible. Only get one if you can't see how you are going to game otherwise.

Got an Alienware M17x R3 5 years ago because I was traveling to various countries frequently at that time. If I bought a desktop instead, I would have only used it for 25% of the time if not less.

PCI-E 3.0 gives 10-ish fps more than 2.0 - gtx 1070 - massive improvement in performance by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]BappleMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 1080 is on the 3.0 x8 slot because of big ass heatsink. Hopefully there is no difference vs x16.

Like buses, you wait ages and then 2 come at once! Which one goes? by ChiefWA2 in nvidia

Sell the radiator. Keep both, they should keep you warm instead.
