How would that affect your PC's performance?

[BurtReynolds]

There is some kind of design flaw that's been discovered with them, and they might need to recall a lot of cpus. But I dunno. I don't really push mine that hard so it's probably fine.

[Ello Sailor]

Oh shit, that is unfortunate. But yeah, I've never been a fan of overclocking (voiding warranty). I'll just turn down settings if I need to.

[BurtReynolds]

I had to lower the settings on mine too because it runs crazy hot, and it can cause permanent damage.

Current setup. please excuse my sad plants

Why do you have a monitor in portrait?

[BurtReynolds]

Partly to save space, and partly because I already had the ultrawide monitor and didn't want to get rid of it when I switched my main monitor to a 4k screen.

I like it so far. I can put reference pics and unimportant stuff over there.

"So this is where I do most of my lib owning. It's a work in progress but uhh"

[BurtReynolds]

It's actually where I make more money in a year - working from home - than you'll see in a decade, but yeah, I do squeeze in a little time to own you.

New Steam Machine announced. No price set. Definitely more than $1,000.

The specs on it didn’t seem terribly impressive. IGN said Silent Hill F was running at 15-20 FPS on their hands on. Cost should be interesting.

[E.H. Ruddock]

I hope trag saw the news of the Steam Machine and thought of Daft Punk. He loves that song.

[Monkey_Driven]

I'm very curious to see the price of the Steam Machine.

[BurtReynolds]

Their timing couldn't be more perfect it seems.

[BurtReynolds]

Won't be upgrading the rig any time soon.

Any Linux nerds in here? Thinking of putting it on my laptop that I never use.
