    Recommendations for gaming mouse

    Logitech G400. The successor to the legendary MX518. It's all you will ever need.

    best $50 GPU?

    Why would you let your 9 year old son play such violent games? Mullin Floor and Left 4 Dead. Seriously? And Modern Warfare 2 where he can assassinate an entire airport. Dude, he is 9.

    The obligatory GOTY 2012 thread

    Without a doubt the gaming adaptation of the movie Brave was the business this year. No, seriously, the best game this year is definitely not Borderlands 2, Diablo III, Black Ops 2 or anything else that is cut and paste repetition nonsense. The Game of the Year should be something that...

    Glossy panel experiences from those on the fence

    I've got a glossy Hazro HZ27WD (I think it's very similar to the Achieva Shimian in the USA) and the first thing you notice are the colours pop out so much more than on your typical Dell or HP IPS display. The whites seem brighter and the blacks seem darker. Having said that, if you are going to...

    latest AMD drivers cause anomalies if OC'd in the slightest

    I have similar issues with 12.11 Beta 7 and 8. If I overclock at all in the slightest I get screen corruption where it starts flickering and the image is unstable. Sort of like how a television looks when you have a really bad signal over the antennae. In addition, when the monitor goes to sleep...

    BIOSTAR TZ77XE4 - What Does the [H]orde Think?

    I've had the board since I completed my build back in March and it has run flawlessly. The Bios by default is setup with default voltages for a Sandy Bridge CPU and for IDE rather than AHCI, but other than that the board is pretty good. It overclocks well, runs cool and holds voltages well. In...

    Samsung Announces 840 Series SSDs

    God dammit. My 830's just arrived on Saturday and now they decide to bring these out. Oh well, the sale price on the 830's was too good in the UK and Samsung is offering an additional £20 cash back per SSD so this makes them even better value, even if they are slower...

    Somebody please help me install RAID...Keep getting errors

    I purchased two Samsung 830 256gb SSDs to be used in RAID with the new Intel 11.6 drivers but I'm running into nothing but issues even when trying to use the 11.2 drivers from Intel's site and the ones that come with my motherboard on the Drivers CD. I have enabled RAID in the BIOS, started...

    Borderland 2 with Physx... AMD owner woes :(

    I think you can enable CPU Physx if you have an AMD card just like you could in Batman Arkham City. The difference is that with Borderlands 2 you must go into the WillowEngine.ini file within your Documents/My Games/Borderlands 2 sub-folder and for the Physx setting change it to 1 for Medium and...

    Thinking about water cooling a 3770k and one 7970 (xfire in future) in a Corsair 500r

    As long as the temps are somewhat better than air and the noise can be kept to a minimum then it is a win for me. On air my processor never really goes above 60 degrees unless benching or priming and my gpu never really heads north of 75 so if I can do better than that with less noise then...

    Thinking about water cooling a 3770k and one 7970 (xfire in future) in a Corsair 500r

    I did some googling and found this thread and thought it might be a bit easier to do than modifying the case too much to fit two 240mm radiators. What do you think of my potential build? Hopefully it will look something like this: Aqua Computer ATI 7970 Waterblock Aqua Computer Kryos HF...

    Buying an SSD for a friend's Bday...which one?

    I'm looking to spend between £50-£80 including shipping on a 120/128gb ssd for my friend's birthday. I would love to get him a Samsung 830 but the prices are currently around £90 for just the drive before shipping. In the UK right now there are three drives on sale which I believe may be a...

    Thinking about water cooling a 3770k and one 7970 (xfire in future) in a Corsair 500r

    I've moved my PC into my main room and at idle it is pretty quiet with my Gentle Typhoon's but when I fire up a game the reference 7970 loves to make itself known to everyone since the fan gets very loud under intense load with my current overclock. I currently run my 3770k at 4.5ghz using...

    Project Cars?

    Yeah, I know the game is still in the early stages which is why I said it would probably look better as it gets closer to release. I run the game at 2560x1440 on max everything with 4xAA, SMAA Ultra, and photorealistic. It's definitely a game I will be purchasing whether or not the graphics make...

    Project Cars?

    I tried it out and the racing in general feels good for the few cars they currently have in the alpha but the graphics are not quite there yet. Sort of looks like F1 2012 with higher resolution car models. The world feels like it is lacking just a bit but I'm sure they will add something to it...
