i mean my case has pretty large nobbie legs that you can't really see, so it's not like on the floor on the floor; there's like a half inch of clearance that if can vent out of. and it vents out the back too, but yeah temps haven't been alarming or anything ever lol

aw.  i'm sorry

[C.Mongler]

NOT GUTS BUT KINDA GUTS: i got a new 144 hz monitor today, playing overwatch at 140 fps is fucking weird

[ikanaide]

weird = COOL??

[C.Mongler]

yes! i guess! i just mean i've never experience moving pictures in a framerate higher than 60 fps tbh, so it's a new experience for me. so it is both very cool but very jarring because everything is ridiculously slick and smooth, whereas 6 months ago my shit would output at like 40 fps on average because of my old shit GPU (gtx 660ti)

[ME##]

i still maintain 48 fps is the optimal viewing experience for the human eye

[C.Mongler]

i maintain your eyes are broken and this monitor has made anything below 60 look like hot garbage. i played bloodborne on this thing yesterday and my god, the jagginess

also one of those 1 TB HDD died last week too lol so i now have a new 2 TB SSHD to replace it, neato

[squirrelfriend]

does 60 divide into 144 evenly

[Kalahari Inkantation]

it ended up being a good thing i got such an enormous case, the fury is 12" long lol, i'm not sure it would have fit into the one i was originally eyeing

but even so, probably about 1/2 of this case will remain empty space, it's definitely too tall for my needs

final specs:

i5 6500
r9 fury
8gb 2400mhz memory (i intend to upgrade to 16gb Soon™)
240gb ssd + 1tb hdd
psu/mobo/case/disc drive etc.

total: $780

90th percentile

[spoiler]

tfw i finally have a competent 1080p/60fps machine while the rest of the world is well on its way to adopting 4k and 1440p/144fps as base standards ~lmao~[/spoiler]

also, it's amazing how quickly thick layers of dust can form on/in these things

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i envy your cpu

i should have gotten the 6600k

also is that a water cooling unit i see

[Thyme]

tfw i might do this next year
