    New GPU

    MSI is riding high tide right now, that's where my cash would go to. Considering both cards go for the same price point here in the US, sounds like someone is bumping the margin on the EVGA

    Corsair Carbide Series AIR 540 Computer Case Review @ [H]

    I've finally gotten bored with my first gen I-5 and decided to do a total system build, So while shopping for parts, I saw this case at the Egg and fell in love with it. After reading the Hard review I've decided it will be the center piece of my new build, though I am going to paint the...

    Need Corsair AX850 Alternative

    If I needed new PS right now, I'd be willing to gamble on getting a good one from Corsair. The brand has served me without fail as has their RMA system for those few times the law of averages has tossed me a lemon.

    New PC.

    need some input on a intel system for my son.

    right now at $199.99 the i5-2500k is the bang for the buck intel chip. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072 Stack it up with 8 gig of ram and a decent video card and he'll be gaming for a good while on it.

    Warm ? Radeon 4890 $70 shipped.

    I still have a 4870 in my wife's box and simply see no end to it's useful life anytime soon. After a year of DX 11, I find most of the effects visually annoying. I could see trying a crossfired 4890 setup for $140.

    Underwhelming Newegg black friday?

    I see some decent deals, they are going to mark the i5-2500k down to 199.99 on phase II. I think the real problem is lack of wow! factor. Aside from memory deals, there isn't really anything that demands you drop the the coin to upgrade if you've already done so in the last 2 years. Looks...

    Curious, not being a player of the genre, but does bF3 take advantage of multi threading?

    I7 870 Idle temps...

    Running a 212+ on an i5-760 clocked to 4 ghz with just the single fan that shipped with it. Running idle temps at 29c to 33c and hitting gaming loads at 47c to 53c. I got mine for $15 bucks, so look around a bit, it's the biggest bank for the buck cooler around.

    Which cable is better to run? Coax or Ethernet, moving computer to other room

    You said it yourself, it's the nursery. Young children are very inquisitive once they start moving about, save yourself the trouble of moving it later and run the coax now. If you can get into the attic, that would offer the neatest way of running either cable anyways.

    possible problem i found after reseting my overclock

    Going out on a limb, have you updated your video drivers lately? and what are you video temps like? reason I ask is because BCCode: 116 is supposedly a video driver issue.

    Well I've been hit before on a B&M return for cutting the UPc off the box is why I asked, the 15% is minimal compared to no deal at all I guess. ;)

    Newegg.com Black Friday Deals

    Note that the MIR expires 11/30, hope you got the overnight shipping :D Actually if you can get the sales receipt dated before then, you might still get it. Does anyone know if Newegg requires original packaging and bar code for returns?
