Window 10 is one of the worst pieces of software ever created. I can’t even get afterburner or gpu-z to work right anymore. And system restore just failed or not?

I’ve decided to get a new case I’m thinking of getting either a fractal R5 or R6 thoughts?

I doubt it’s gonna fix your Windows.
R6 is overpriced for the improvements over the R5 - IMO.

My brother has the R5 and its really damn good, question is do you need any of the extra stuff added to the R6 because they are still mostly the same with some refinements in the R6.

I just hate my current case is all.

Which one?

That’s along the lines i was thinking.
@TheDiddilyHorror my current case is a NZXT Source 220 with a stupid window

What do you dislike about it?

What I hate about my case.

  • No 2.5in drive mounts.
  • The USB ports on it will hardlock my pc if i try to use them.
  • The window
  • No air filters

If you don’t care about the small changes of the R6 over the R5, then save some money and get the R5.

Is it the frontpanel USB ports or the USB headers on the mobo?

That’s the direction I was leaning I just wanted a second option. R5 it is then.
Also it’s the frontpanel it’s done it with two different mobos

Well i’m tired as shit and finally got my PC to work mostly correct, so i’m going to get some Zs

I got 34 minutes flat on my first portal run which puts me at 202th place on the leaderboard. not bad for a first run IMO. EDIT: Time was with loads but since im on a stupidly fast ssd its not even worth talking about XD

Gonna practice a few parts that i struggled on and try again. if everything goes well then i can easily get a sub 30 time :smiley:

damn not bad is right around where you said it’d be. I’m still aiming for about an hour when I do it.

Nice, good luck. is a couple of parts I really need to practice on to get a halfway decent time.

yep. is a few parts that fucked my run fairly badly. 25 minute time might be fairly easy to achive but im gonna need a good way to record a run before i can submit to the leaderboard

yep around 25 minutes would be neat if you can get those parts down. ah so does the leaderboard require a video recording of it? that would suck on that macbook :frowning:

yes and no. Video will help your run be validated and its almost impossible to validate a run without a video to prove it
