Not sure who you're responding to, but my PC building days are over. All those components, that one problem component, not getting your rebates, poor customer service from at least one of the providers... I'll let someone else worry about that.
I don't really know, it's never unplugged. I have two batteries for it, never use them. After the new system arrives, I'll know more about battery life because then I can actually use it as a laptop. I cannot imagine it would have great battery life, not with that 17.3" screen and the 880M processor with separate CPU and GPU cooling fans running at the same time.

Damn Gamers Nexus (probably the second best hardware benchmarking channel on youtube) confirms that Vega is a dog.
AMD is going to have to either sell full Vega at $450 or sell it at $500 with an absolute killer gaming bundle to have any hopes of moving them to gamers. That is absolutely horrific on a 500-520 mm^2 die, I wonder if they're even going to turn any profit on Vega gaming cards having to sell that cheap for such a large die and using expensive and limited HBM2 memory. They can probably tweak clockspeeds to catch up to the GTX 1080 but that's a $500 card that uses half the power and that must be wildly profitable for Nvidia at only 314 mm^2.
dunno why u clowns keep on mentioning the amd FE card when its not the consumer card
they already got the vega consumer cards benchmarked releases, higher clock then the FE and still slower then a 1080 apparently with beta drivers..
anyway my computer died over night I think, keeps on booting into bsod..might need to go replace the hdd or memory...still fixing it or else ima go get a new comp for around 1k budget just the tower itself without ssd/hdd I got a few spares lying around
so I got a friend who does data recovery or some in the IT dept of some bank, the workers every year gets new laptops and then clears it, slates the hdd of its data and can do whatever they like with the laptop, and these were high end business lappies...
I managed to get one and it died on me, took out the ram and ssd hoping to reuse it in another system, gave the ram to spare laptop
now the ssd is msata, most new pc desktop motherboards don't have msata ports, they all using m.2 ports...so what do I do with this msata 256gb? be shame to throw it in the bin...the other laptop doesn't even have msata port...
I'm going to run out to buy a r1600 build setup, the b350 mobos most of them don't have msata ports, only m.2...didn't wanna waste money buying a new ssd, so what can I do? isn't there like a msata-2-m.2 adapter? wanan use it as OS boot drive
Edit...
Ooops... you were asking for the reverse of this...
I have this one:
It is photographed on 5 line per inch graph paper. It holds a SATA M.2 and/or a 4 lane PCIe M.2.
I ordered it from Amazon:

As long as you have four lanes available on the PCIe, it should work. My Dell XPS 8700 only allows one lane, so it didn't give me the 32 Gbit speeds. Funneling all the data to one lane was slower than a SATA rather than 5 times faster.
This is $7.99 from Amazon:

what u guys think of getting a i7 7700k and cheapest mobo, and using onboard gpu
then wait till vega released or them new monitors b4 I decide which route for vga card investment... (stupid fkn entry level cards like rx480/580 1060/1070 are fkn overpriced and increase 100bucks each due to fkn mutts hording cards mine coins; that's why I want to stick to onboard vga till I make a splash on high end card and +34inch monitor)
currently I don't play games
actually the x series are a fail, how long u think the i7-7700k cpu will last me? +5yrs? stock for 2-3yrs b4 it bottlenecks then OC...
ps. I open my comp case to clean it out due to dusts inside psu and video card, couldnt explain why the continuous restarts and bsod, but anyway I accidentally press it hard or flicked the jumper to pushed the gpu out and it snapped breaking off; that switch aint important right? u can still manually push and pull out the video card without that flicker? ....
so yeh I manage to fix my comp, from the random bsod and not booting into bios/windows; all I did was fkn clean out the dusts on the vents of the psu...didn't know the psu sends data to windows and that makes it bsod...manage to clean most of the dusts out, still havnt pulled out the cpu to clean; I did pulled out the video card and didn't put it back in, using onboard vga...good enough for me atm... going to hand the comp down to my brother since he doesn't game...should be good enough for yt and general ...
gonna spoil myself with a new comp

Oculus Rift on sale now with controllers for 399 at amazon.com.
why u wanna buy this ? u guys tried vr porn?
looking at new monitors coming out, looks like those freesync2 monitors come out with 95hz overclockable to 120hz...not bad, u will save on vega, but dunno about the new monitors even though its open source adapter...
u guys buy Korean unbranded monitors? check this new Crossover 34UM12 95Hz 3440x1440 - flat AH-IPS for like half the price of branded models

I have 2 144hz monitors and a 50" 4K TV as a monitor. My new system will be pretty sweet with VR. I like space and flight sims. They have some decent ones for VR and there will be more.
My monitors are Asus. TV is LG.
Are there any really high quality flight sims planned for the Rift or Vive? That would be my interest in VR: flight sims and driving games. But I'm leery of buying one of the headsets after seeing a review claiming you couldn't really spend more than 15 minutes in Project CARS for example without getting sick.
im interested in racing sims, I still have a g27 in a box I b ought 5years ago still cbf hooking it upto anything...need a real beast of a comp
I think @wildcobra had a sim setup
I thought those were only in Japan?
Lmao
Outlast II in VR would be epic..
Madden would be great too if on the Master Race platform of choice
I don't know about the plans for HQ sims, but the trend seems to be going that way. If Oculus and Vive can become more affordable, more game designers will build around them, maybe even VR exclusive les instead of just having a VR component.
Especially if you can do between gameday activities like starting shootouts in strip clubs.
Damn it looks like ether is crashing, we might start seeing a flood of cheap RX 480, RX 580, and GTX 1070 on the used market pretty soon.
Now just waiting for the Rift (tomorrow).
Probably work great once I get a PC that will run it
I have friends that play for hours with these things, no problems. I am subject to motion sickness (can't play Half Life) myself so I'll know for sure soon. Might be a really good OR deal coming soon.

motion sickness? I use to get that playing fps games, but it had more to do with the monitor I was running...low hz refresh rate hurts ur eyes and
lets just say them miners get rid of their gpus, then the next peak coins comes....whats the next lineup of gpus they going to hord?
I read that china wants to start up its own crypto coin....why do they need these digital coins when t hey earn enough on Americas nfd interest payments, and in the process of trying to raise capital bonds of $8billion to buy up more foreign public and private assets
can someone explain to me gsync and fsync?
both tehcnologies only apply to low end gpus that cant stay north of 60fps while gaming so they smooth out the experience?
cause I see guys with NVidia cards buying fsync monitors and overclocking them above the standard 75hz to north of 75hz-100hz equivalent to gsync 100hz, due to not wanting to pay a premium for gsync monitors... if a fsync monitor can overclock to 100hz, would u still buy a fsync monitor or a gsync? the amount u save could be better spent elsewhere on improving the computer...
anyway any thoughts fellas?
with m.2 running in pci-e slots to increase write and read speeds to 2gb/s, and these costs an arm an a leg to purchase
why havnt they move those 3.5 hdd sata to pci-e? for increase speeds and manufacturing them is cheap compared to ssd...
remember beck in 90s if u wanted a fast hdd u needed a scsi card?
