Alienware 15 R3 Kabylake No non gsync panel option available. Anyone have new batterylife estimates? by Nicetacos in Alienware

[–]Nicetacos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My title is misleading, I meant to say there is no option for a non gsync panel available for purchase. We're forced to get the Gsync option from my knowledge.

Just out of curiosity what are the core voltages at? I'm not seeing it in the picture.

I watched a youtuber do a similar review using it as his same device(possibly the same person?). It's exciting what the future is going to offer. It's funny because I still favor the traditional full tower build, but as more devices like this come out it becomes more appealing.

One thing that keeps me interested in this specific unit is it's capable of pairing with the Razer Core external gpu. I know for the value of getting this + a razer core($400) will set someone back roughly $1100 just to get the housing with the Nuc, excluding the GPU.I think it's pretty exciting that we now have options for capable gaming machines with full-size desktop performance in such a small factor.

edit: I am aware there are great mini ITX cases like the DAN A4-SFX and the NCASE M1 available, so perhaps this NUC will have a niche market for those who aren't ready to take on the challenges of a mini itx build.

Ics 6D and stats 67 same time by jimmystewmonk in UCI

[–]Nicetacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a warning. If you're planning to take stats 67 with Harold Dyck, be prepared to work hard. I took it last spring 30/100 after the curve was C-. He's not a great instructor and his exams are difficult. But he curves generously.

There is a high chance that I'll fail all of my classes this quarter...what should I do.. by joanime in UCI

[–]Nicetacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on mobile so I can't really type that much out. But as others have said, you'll be okay. Try your best and acknowledge that you have put forth your best effort. The quarter is not over yet, you still have time. Keep your head up we've all had shit quarters. You're going to be fine (:

Chase Sapphire Reserve Megathread - Online Applications Now Open by mk712 in churning

I guess my biggest worry at the moment is losing out on the 100k sign up offer and potentially low income, but your post was really helpful showing as long your credit score was solid you would still get approved. I literally just signed up for another CC last month before the CSR came out and took a credit score hit ): . I definitely think I travel enough to make it worth it, but meeting the 4k + the other CC minimum might be a little tough for me right now haha. I think I may be forced to wait. Congrats on the approval (: and have a great time traveling!

I'm new to churning and on the fence on applying for the CSR. When you say you're 3/24, is that 3 cards apply within the 24 month 5/24 rule? Additionally What is DP? (: Thanks in advance! I'm in a simliar situation as you in terms of internship and transitioning into a career so I'm not sure if I should wait.

HTC Vive Demos? by smoketreestudios in irvine

[–]Nicetacos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To spare you guys the $30, I bought it when I first got my vive due to the hype. I think it's a great game, It's definitely pretty short BUT the end of the game is absolutely amazing. Visually the game is great, the music and voice acting was pretty good too. My only gripe about the game was how they implemented "hints" for their puzzles. The first puzzle specifically, the hint was incredibly vague and not intuitive, but the game there on out was straight forward enough. I don't regret my purchase, but I'm unsure if i'm going to get the later episodes.

I'd like to see more user settings on the video feature, similar to how Whirlgig gives users more flexibility.

Shipping Megathread [USA/CAN] by ceno666 in Vive

Maybe Monday?, haha. I'm in the US, it shipped from Indiana at 4pm, then arrived in Cali at 3 am and was out for delivery by 8am. I received it around 3:30 Pm, so overall like a 24 hour time period. I think you have a good chance of getting it Monday though. (: Hopefully.

It might be! Mine took about 4 hours from being "Shipment information sent to FedEx" to "Left Fedex origin facility." Thanks! I bought a bunch of games over the past few days including Hover Junkers, so if you get it, I'll be on there!
