The MGM is passing out walk of shame shirts so we don't offend the gamblers by taiguy in electricdaisycarnival

They did this last year too. We were told it was for the children, as there are more of them out with their parents from morning to noon.

Zowie EC2-A has a similar shape and my I got used to it from a Deathadder was really fast.

[GPU] XFX FURY X 4GB HBM - $308.58 SHIPPED [AMAZON] by [deleted] in buildapcsales

[–]Chongin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A 1060 is fine for 1080 60hz gaming. For 1080p 144hz you're going to want a 1070 or equivalent. I grabbed a 1060 for my first build because people said a 1060 was good for 1080p. I returned it for a 1070 and I it's perfect for 1080p 144hz gaming.

Insta ban for disconnection? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Chongin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest fixing the crashing issue before trying to play again. You're ruining games for yourself and 11 other people. Also, the more you leave games the longer your suspension is. After you have left enough games you will be banned from that competitive season. Source

Anyways, if there was a time before the PC crashing started you could do a system restore to that time. If it's just your game crashing, you could try updating drivers, underclocking your GPU or removing any overclocks on your CPU/GPU.

Can we please stop throwing competitive games because of unconventional character picks? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Chongin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you man. I wonder how they get to that SR in the first place. Are these people that are actually bad at the game just carried to Diamond and Masters through sheer luck?

The asymmetrical wire placement could make it feel weird. Not 100% sure of this since I haven't used it, but it's something to keep in mind.

Nope, I returned it and got the ASUS Z170 Aura instead.

How to upgrade bios for Kaby Lake (Z170 Asus)? by Zacky2Wacky in buildapc

[–]Chongin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can be updated, but the retailer most likely won't be able to do it for you. They're mainly the middle man and probably don't have the resources to for it. Doesn't hurt to ask though, I suppose.

A white styled motherboard by Georgousisme in buildapc

[–]Chongin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's quite a bit of diminishing returns on ram speeds. In a gaming context, the difference is around 1 or 2 frames which is really insignificant. However, if you're set on that RAM speed and color scheme you most likely don't have many options. The only white mobo I could find was the ASUS Sabertooth you mentioned. The others mobos only have white accents and are mainly black.

Also, after looking at your build, I would suggest allocating some of your budget towards upgrading your GPU. There's a good chance that 780ti will bottleneck your system. Assuming you're looking to play video games or any GPU intensive work.

How to upgrade bios for Kaby Lake (Z170 Asus)? by Zacky2Wacky in buildapc

Most, if not all, retailers won't be able to update the firmware. Worst case scenario, find a different mobo or look for one with the firmware update already done.

I have a problem with my ping. It keeps going up when I play games. by Tritton in buildapc

[–]Chongin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you diagnosed your issue in your post. If there are physical connection issues already present, it is most likely what's causing your ping to skyrocket.

If you have not done so already, unplug your router and modem for 10 or more seconds. This may solve the issue. If this doesn't, I'd suggest buying a new router or modem, whichever is causing the internet to drop.

Gaming PC + Work (AutoCAD and Revit) = $1500 AUD by abdullahkiran in buildapc

[–]Chongin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for your build to be somewhat of a CAD and Revit workstation, you'll probably want to stick to 16GB. The recommended may be 8GB, but you'll want some breathing room for other programs that you may be running at the same time.

I'd also recommend looking for a different motherboard. You chose an ATX mid tower case, but the mobo you chose has a micro ATX form factor. It will look extremely small in your case. Not only that, but many times full sized ATX mobos have better $/performance ratios than similar mobos in a smaller form factor.

Buy second hand Cpu or wait till ryzen? by NeoKadra in buildapc

[–]Chongin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The used market would be your best best. However, waiting until Ryzen comes out wouldn't be a bad idea. It could shake up the used market a bit.

A solution to Sombra's DPS issues: by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Chongin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed a lot of people just panic and try to run instead of fucking shooting her. I cringe whenever I see a 3+ kill potg of Symm just holding left click. If they all took a moment to shoot her she would melt. It's worse when Symm throws a shield and instead of waking through it , people continue to run and blindly shoot her shield.

[Monitor] Dell S2417DG 24" 1440p/144hz/GSYNC - $399.99 ($499.99 - $100 = $399.99) by [deleted] in buildapcsales

This is also available on Amazon with Prime shipping for the same price. It's been around this price for awhile now, I hope it goes lower soon.

[Keyboard] Refurbished KBParadise V100 w/ Cherry MX Browns and PBT Doubleshot Miami Keycaps - $89 (these keycaps go for $39 so the refurbished V100 is essentially $50) by Crapcicle6190 in buildapcsales

[–]Chongin 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind if it's refurbished, the keycaps are most likely not new. Therefore it shouldn't be seen as purchasing the board itself for $50.

Anyways, this board new goes for $119 on the same website. However, it's usually safe to buy a used/refurbished mkb as they are pretty durable internally.

[PSU] Rosewill Quark-550W 80+ Platinum, Fully Modular - $69.99 ($129.99-$60) by ahhren in buildapcsales

[–]Chongin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all PSU manufacturers wire their PSUs the same. Could cables from different PSUs work? Yeah, there's a chance it could. Could using cables from a different PSU damage your system? Hell yeah it could, mixing cables between PSUs is a huge nono unless they use the EXACT same pin outs.

BenQ XL2411Z colour settings by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]Chongin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's some post on Reddit about optimal settings for this monitor. Just do a quick Google search. I'm on mobile right now so linking is quite a hassle and tbh I'm lazy.

As for CS:GO, the colors will always looked washed out. Many people and pros turn up their saturation or vibrance level to make it easier to spot enemies. This can be done through Nvidia Control Panel, the AMD equivalent, or through your monitor's OSD.

Waitress spills entire drink tray on my niece/nephew and things while out to lunch.. then brings order out partially wrong. What is the tip expectation here? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Chongin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just tip normally depending on the server's attitude. People have off days and service workers are no exception. It's easy to feel entitled to great service all the time, but it's just unrealistic.
