    3700x to 5800x?

    I received my 5800x as a gift so the value factor doesn't apply to me but just playing around with the chip and seeing single core boost just over 5ghz and multi core scores that trounce my 3700 makes the 5000 series jump worth it to me even if I had to buy it myself. In real world games and...

    HOT ! Various 1TB NVMe with coveted E12 Controller $135 aprox retail

    I installed a Inland 2TB in my new HP Pavillion laptop with the HM370 chipset. I was worried that the chipset might be gimped compared to a Desktop chipset but I cannot complain about the numbers I get.

    *REFURBISHED* ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti - $439.99 + tax & S&H

    I got mine today. Nice upgrade from a RX580 ! Runs on the warm (HOT) side. Trying to hold out on putting my G12 bracket and AIO on it.

    A Look at 3dfx's Cancelled Rampage GPU

    My Original 3Dfx Voodoo card might be the biggest single upgrade I have ever made. (Greatest X-mas present ever ! $400 in 90s money !) I believe I was running a S3 virge 64+ along with the Voodoo and a NEC power VR all at once due to proprietary games. Used a little program to switch between...

    What was your 1st 3D video card ?

    I believe mine was a S3 trio 64+. I added a NEC Power VR and a Diamond 3DFX Voodoo card and used a little program to switch between them. That 3DFX card was my favorite card ever. It was like going from a 386 to a Pentium. I still have it in my computer part graveyard.

    How to remove thermal paste off cpu?

    +1 to coffee filters. Cheap and lint free. The two piece cleaning solution from Artic Silver works very well and last a long time.

    Worthy upgrade?

    If it is not going to hurt you too much financially I so go for it. It went from a 920 on a EVGA to a 2500k on a Asus 68 pro. I am so glad I did. It uses less electricity, runs cooler, is a little faster in most apps, plus the newness factor is a plus. Though if your going to be eating Top...

    GameStop Employee Sets Fire To Mall

    I drove right by this on my way home from work around 1pm and didn't notice. Traffic was really slow on the 65 connector but I just never looked over. Wasn't till I got home that I saw this on TV. The only store I go to there is Sears (tools), but feel bad for the employees.

    MSI GTX 460 HAWK is instock at newegg.com

    You get a nice little boost. I can pass most game benches and Vantage/3D06 at 1000-1015 on my Palit. I have played Dirt2 for hours at 985. It allowed me to turn everything to max/ultra in dirt2 and still get very high minimum framerates. If I had the power section that the hawk has I could...

    Post Your Best GTX460 Overclocks & Benchmarks

    I am sure it would. I am not proclaiming it a stable overclock, only showing the potential of these chips. I did play Dirt2 for over an hour last night @985 so I might test that clock on OCCT and see how stable it really was. Dirt2 ran over 70fps @1080p with all the eye candy on max.

    Post Your Best GTX460 Overclocks & Benchmarks

    I am using a mcw80, it bolts right on with the g92 pattern the Palit has. My voltage at 1K is 1.175. At 950 I use 1.125 or so. I am still fiddling to find the right combo's. Right now I have it set at 925, I figure that is in the safe zone of voltage and graphical errors. I had a three hour...

    Post Your Best GTX460 Overclocks & Benchmarks

    I am running a Palit Sonic on water. I can pass most benches @ 1000 core. I get some "glitches" sometimes so I would not call it stable. I have it running at 950 right now and it is running great. Been playing Dirt2 super smooth. Temp stays under 40c.
