2017 Hardware Thread

Don't let his youth or EMO look's fool you, the kid knows his video card tech, probably better than anyone else on the net. Gamers Nexus even publishes his video card tear downs.

My first question is why did he use, in my opinion, the most unreliable, unpredictable benchmark there is?

Well, he say's at the end: "More voltage, less core clock = Better Score", so give it a try

Hi guys, this post is for you Corsair Link users:

I decided to check it out today, just for the heck of it(by the way, it only shows the fans for the 3 headers I'm using, one intake set of 3 is connected directly to the PSU via Molex) plus my GTX 1080's fan for the total of 4


Any how, I went to configure the Configure tab, and non of the Corsair case choices, looked close enough to my InWin303.
So what did I do?
Ya'll know by now, that I'm a graphics geek, right?

So I went to the InWin site, downloaded a pic of my 303 case:

Then opened up GIMP, added transparency to the layer, got rid of the white background,
cropped it to size, and saved it as a .png and named it accordingly, to C:\ProgramData\CLink4\CaseImages


(how it looked after changes)

Then I went back into Corsair Link, and the choice was there:


Now I can place the Fans and temps where they belong:)


Final Product

Hi guys, Back in town. Had to go visit mom in the hospital.

Anyway Cliff, I simply took a photo of my case as configured and imported it. Did a straight on side shot and cropped the image so only the inner edge of the case shows. Did this awhile ago. Currently using this image of my old system...
