    News Use iPad / iPhone as a HDMI monitor

    Yeah, that was my concern, if you can work around it and make it a one cable solution, all is good. But still damn expensive. Brainstorm but... If you are gonna go to the trouble of using an iOS device...why not use an iphone plus instead of an ipad while sticking it into this...

    News Use iPad / iPhone as a HDMI monitor

    Just go to Alliexpress etc. and order a screen and controller combo (with hdmi or DP port) . some are even 4k combos and you can even find so many different sizes. You can find one and just stick it to the side panel of your case and call it a day if you want. I can see the appeal of using...

    Bitcoin and other Crypto Currency discussion thread

    Oh yeah sorry. I know what you mean now. I meant, I should be more explicit. Not just a simple gimp. First it gimps so single gpu and single cpu are required. Then it should actually have a hybrid proof of work code that requires half of it to be processed by the gpu and the other half to be...

    The thing is that new hard forks/ easy to mine coins come out all the time...I am not well versed enough to see the future but I can't help but think that the mining bubble won't burst for a while....

    eGPU Wishlist

    Hmmm, 1440p 4k lcd + controller kits from china that work with nvidia cards are becoming easier to get I think. I was thinking the layout of the egpu should be as flat as possible like the sentry and stick the biggest 4k lcd panel you can fit on the side with no vent holes. And the gpu io...

    eGPU Wishlist

    I have no idea I am afraid. However, I can imagine that because if you are using it as a docking station you are using a monitor therefore saving quite a bit of bandwidth.

    eGPU Wishlist

    eGPU doubling as a usb-type c docking station? So one cable for everything, power/gpu/lan. Or if not, at least a two cable solution.

    Motherboard GIGABYTE AB350N-Gaming WIFI

    very similar to mine;p, if u are using an sfx psu I recomend you make 2 holes in the atx psu edge and place an 80mm above the vrm, and you also have room for a 50mm fan exhaust to the left of the psu right above the gpu. and you can also go for a slim fan to the right side for exhaust.

    I didn't even know about the overdrive thing. I only got Ryzen master just to check if it matches hw info. Reading a bit about it it does automatic overclocking which I would avoid like the plague honestly.
