    Should have bought a 1080 Ti

    3 months in and my 2080 FE (zero overclock) was sent back to Nvidia for a RMA today. Developed a buzzing/sizzling sound which got louder under load. Now i wait using integrated graphics.

    Geforce 1070/1080 Reference Cards

    After hearing about EVGA 1080's VRMs going up in flames I'm glad I bought a FE card. Although I never had much luck with EVGA with my GTX 295, I do hope this is not a trend with 3rd party manufacturers making cost cutting cuts (thermal pads on the VRMS cant cost that much?!?) to undercut the FE...

    Logmein free is going to put limits on the amount of computers that can be remote controlled (10) or pay $199/year. Is there an alternative to logmein that functions the same that will not impose any limits?

    Logitech Z623 Connection question. RCA or 3.5mm?

    Getting some static in my Z623, guessing its the crappy 3.5mm cable it comes with. Would I get better sound using the 2 RCA inputs on the subwoffer instead of the 3.5mm conection? Connecting it to my X-fi soundcard. Should I get a 3.5mm to RCA adapter or stick with the 3.5mm to 3.5mm?

    Running HOT?

    I overclocked my Core i7 920 conservately to 3.0Ghz. Left all voltages to Auto. I have an Antec 1200 full tower with a Coolermaster V8 cooler. Under load my CPU core temps get as high as 75C. My CPU temp is 60C and my VRM goes to 75C. This seems high to me. Are these safe temps?
