Matt T:

Hi guys! Love the show!
2 questions from me, sorry for the long message 😛
1. I recently finished building my new PC, I’m using the stock CPU fan, for a AMD FX-6350. This is incredibly loud. I put my PC under heavy loads often, would a liquid cooler such as the h100i be required or can I get away with a high-end air cooler?
2. I’ve been looking at the R9 280x as a suitable upgrade in the near future, however, I’ve heard rumours of screen tearing and lots of graphical glitches with them, is this the case, if so, would the 760/770 be a good alternative?

Where once we had a plethora of trackball options from which to choose, we now have two: Logitech’s “thumb ball” and Logitech’s “three middle fingers ball.” All of the, “higher end” options, such as Logitech’s own Cordless Optical Trackman, seemed to disappear simultaneously overnight. Since used models of these great pointing devices are going for upwards of $400 online, it certainly seems that there is still a market for high-end, “has-more-than-3-buttons” trackballs. What gives? Is there some small company that you are aware of which is still making decent trackballs? Thanks in advance!
