Working on 2 system builds for kids christmas, what are the best video cards currently that operate directly from PCI-E, without needing external power? Trying to avoid new power supplies :)
So... who knows how long ago it happened, but it's starting to make all those claiming D3 was hacked seem much more likely....

Is ddr3-1600 causing automatic system overclock?
I'm working on a system that is using Asus P8Z77, i7 3770 (non-k) and 8GB of mushkin ddr3-1600.
I ran memtest86+ for 24 hours without any problem, but prime95 or occt reboot the machine anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours, could it be from...
I"m trying to virtualize a server 2008 machine which was used for nothing more then file sharing so the server aspect really isn't needed. I was going to downgrade it to just an XP Pro license, but mirroring is needed.
Any suggestions on a way to mirror a virtual XP in esxi? I know it won't...
So for once.. being cheap paid off, and going for the P8P67 instead of P8P67 Pro means my board will do PCI-E 3 with an IB cpu... but is it worth it? running 2500k / 7870 right now so the only part i'm missing to jump from PCIE 2 to 3 is the CPU.

Looks like that's yet another thing from the game jam being added ..... which is very promising, so many things I wanted from that video
I had a 6950 2GB for about a month, then returned it since the 78xx's finally got announced.
I kept thinking I was going to get the 7870 since that's the one every one seems to be raving on between the two with even [H] saying 7850 isn't worth it's price.
But now i'm really wondering if...
I've been checking both distributors, and retailers 4 times a day every day since march 5th waiting to see any sign of the cards .. not expecting stock but at least some not available yet but here's the pricing item listings, and .... .nothing :| no sign, no whimper, if it was a hard launch I...
Waiting for the 7850/7870 launches :| already sold my 6950 for $250... next week won't come fast enough, and knowing my luck they won't launch it then lol...
So... the patch is finished that fixes all the DX11 issue's, and WB / Rocksteady are holding back on releasing it..
An internal dev "leaked" it tired of waiting for something the PC community has been asking for being held up

Tear gas, staged car crashes, masked men ... I actually found myself laughing at just how much it was like a scene outta the game.
As has been mentioned in the news, all the plants in thailand have flooded... in the last 2 days our shop has received notices that hard drive ordering from all canadian distributors is limited to 5 drives of any type, and half of them will only sell a hard drive if bundled with motherboard or...
I'm getting rather annoyed that PC games are now becoming more expensive then console games.
What happened to PC games being $10-15 cheaper? It use to be console blockbusters were 59.99, while PC were 44.99 - 49.99 ... now i'm seeing all the PC big games showing for sale @ 59.99 on...
I'm running ESXI 5 from USB, with 2 1TB drives,
I've installed 2 linux guests which worked great for mirroring 2 partitions one on each datastore with mdadm,
Now I need a windows one to provide files / drive shares to a network of 10 machines, currently we use server 2008 for the machine...
I bought 2 of them back in April... one is mounted on a 775 motherboard, the other on an 1155.
Starting last week, both are making a lot of noise
The first one is making loud really fast clicking noise, like something is caught in a fan.. but i've opened the system and nothing is caught...
I just finished building my system with an i2500k, and antec kuhler 620.
I have push pull, doing intake on the rad, a top mounted 140mm doing out, and a front mounted 120 doing out
It's idling at 44 ... which is much hotter then I expected, but the motherboard is showing 38 ... and it is...
So here's my data storage issue....
My computer is <bleeped>, to the point I can't even get into the bios, it just locks up if I try.
I can however still boot windows.
I'm building a new system, but this current one is raided, with 1 500gb JBOD, and 3 500's in raid 5, using nvraid. In my...
I'm working towards building a storage server with 6x WD20EARS drives.
I just got 4 of them because the price was insanely cheap, and the last 2 I won't be able to get before the 15 day direct exchange runs out with the store I bought from.
What's the best way to verify the drives I did...
I'm starting to feel envy as all my friends buy i5 gen2 systems, and my current setup is limited space wise due to it using an old nvraid and only 4 sata ports... so it's time for an upgrade, and rebuild! any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
Build 1 (Main System, gaming on 22"...
Looking For an evaluation of my system builds, and a quick question about P8P67 compared to the Pro Version.
First the question: If i'm not ever going to use multi-video card, and I don't care intel nic to realtek nic ... is there any reason to go for the Pro version or save myself the $40 to...
I read in the new features, email notification on failure, but i've tried installing 10.0.0.1046, and 1.0.1.1008 and do not see this anywhere. Has anyone set this up yet? or know if it got removed for some reason. I was going to try installing 10.0.0.1026 and check but before I do that I just...
This is what I have so far.. mostly not sure which SSD's to go with, or any other places to improve

Trying to trouble shoot why my system shuts off at random times as if it's overheating.

In a server system running Server 2008, 3xWD Black 1TB for data
Would 2 x Intel 80GB (raid 1) or 2 x Veloci 150GB (raid 1) be better for the OS drive.
This system is going into an office so reliability is a key factor along with the performance.
So i'm guessing my 8800GT is about to croak... last few days noticed it's gotten extremely loud and checking rivatuner, idles at 90, under load 110.
My question is what card is the best option for me right now.

I have a system that will halt in orthos after about 2 hours with the random = .5 expected .4 error. The motherboard is asrock G41M-S so not the best in the world but the person i'm building the system for is limited in budget.
No overclocking at all has occurred.
