The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

3rd. Open the final boxes. Same photograph rules apply...

metal pads are a thing...
Yeah, when they get it in stock.
As for upgrading the psu... well not really.Your PSU will only pull a fraction until you load something intensive anyway.
Frankly, unless you want to jump up to some really expensive things, the card there will do just fine.
Cards are in a bit of a holding pattern because next year there will be new gens with lots of improvements and upgrades... so i really dont recommend going for a balls out card unless you...
Yeah, I dont really recommend screen protectors anymore. Especially for a desktop application.
You "Might" be able to get the tape to loosen up if you had a heat gun, but then you are also likely to just melt the plexi with it too. I've seen guys de-glass monitors by running a heat gun around...
