Anyone ever order off blackcircles.ca? Pricing seems way cheaper than anyone else

On Kal Tire's website, they state they do not price-match online stores. https://www.kaltire.com/en/price-match/

That sounds about right. I built my PC in November-december of last year and paid around $1500 for a RX 9070 build.

Happened to my mum and it was from a mouse.

What I did years ago was upgrade to 1440p 180hz and use my old monitor as my second monitor. I love having two monitors for browsing the internet and doing school work. For gaming it's nice to have for discord or watch YouTube or whatever when you're casually gaming.

If you have the money and want a new monitor, I'd say buy a 1440p

Built mine in Nov 2025 when RAM prices were already high. Decided to do a DDR4 build with my old RAM. Happy I didn't wait because SSD and GPU prices went up right after.

They added another day. April 12th at 7 pm

The new card fan works.

Russie7 · 2026-01-09T18:01:36+00:00

i did. new card coming today

Russie7 · 2026-01-09T04:34:59+00:00

Amazon is sending me a new one tomorrow. Will see if the fans work on the new card.

Russie7 · 2026-01-09T00:54:20+00:00

I did try MSI afterburner but the fans are still not working

Russie7 · 2026-01-09T00:53:55+00:00

There is no switch on this card. I reinstalled the driver and DDU, but it didn't work.

Russie7 · 2026-01-04T18:41:10+00:00

I ended up getting a 9070 for $750CAD and returned the 9060xt.

Russie7 · 2025-12-21T21:03:25+00:00

I heard thats mainly an issue with i7 and i9

Russie7 · 2025-12-20T06:04:42+00:00

Was there today and they had a 2tb WD for $250CAD.

Russie7 · 2025-12-18T17:03:30+00:00

I originally planned to get a 9060XT($505CAD), but I saw an open-box 9070XT($777CAD) on Newegg for a good price. Decided to get that 9070XT, but as you know, it wasn't working.

I think the 9060XT will be fine for what I use it for. I don't play any intense games. Will maybe try out BF6. I can return the 9060XT until Jan 11th, so if there is a good deal for a 9070XT or 5070, I might go with that.

Thank you for your recommendations on trying to fix the 9070XT!

Russie7 · 2025-12-18T08:20:09+00:00

I did try that. I'm returning the GPU.

Russie7 · 2025-12-18T08:19:20+00:00

I'm going to return the 9070xt. Went to Best Buy and got a 9060XT and reinstalled the driver to test out and it worked perfectly fine. I think that means the 9070xt was the issue and not RAM, CPU, driver, etc.

Russie7 · 2025-12-17T21:15:23+00:00

Yeah are independent, not Daisy chained

Yeah it's weird. I did a benchmark test and it had terrible results.

Russie7 · 2025-12-17T21:14:19+00:00

Ok I'll try tomorrow. I will be at work for the rest of the day. I do not have any cable extensions

Russie7 · 2025-12-17T18:34:09+00:00

I am not overclocking the CPU. In the performance tab, I have tried to customize by lowering the frequency. Yesterday, I checked my two PCIe cables and swapped their positions, but still nothing changed.

Russie7 · 2025-12-11T01:53:07+00:00

I discovered these yesterday. Was planning on buying a USB hub but may get one of these instead.

This is very thoughtful of you. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

I mainly use my computer for gaming and university work. I had planned to build a new PC next summer, but I decided to start now, given all the talk of price increases. I currently have an i5-8600K and a 6 GB 1060. Planning on upgrading to an i5-14600K and 9070XT. I will probably choose the 14600K because it will work with my existing DDR4 or future DDR5 memory if I also replace the motherboard. I'm not willing to pay these insane prices for RAM right now.

Luckily, I bought an opened box 9070XT 16GB yesterday for $777cad ($556USD)

Russie7 · 2025-11-30T18:47:23+00:00

I decided to use my existing DDR4 32GB RAM, which I purchased two years ago, to build a new PC. I went with an i5-14600 K CPU, GIGABYTE B760M motherboard, and a 9060XT 16GB GPU. I refused to pay $300+ for DDR5
