    Turtle Beach Gaming Headset Recall

    As someone who works in hazmat, replacing the headset removed the mould hazard. What most likely happened is during shipment or storage, the headset were most likely exposed to moisture. Since mould spores are everywhere, all you need is moisture and an organic substrate for it to grow on...

    Guitar Hero Live Unveils Its First 24 Songs

    TBH as an owner of a Wii U, I was excited about getting my old guitars and drum set out of storage to play Guitar Hero Live - until I found out you need new guitars. Screw that, I don't need more plastic instruments. Instead I picked up Rocksmith 2014 for the PC and am playing on a real guitar.

    FedEx Refuses To Ship Machine That Can Make Untraceable Guns

    So true. I did a double take and looked up travel time from Seattle to San Antonio - approximately 34 hours straight.

    Jen-Hsun On GeForce GTX 970

    Did you not read my quoted response to your post? Let me answer it again: The GTX 980 does not have the same segmented memory as the GTX 980. It is able to fully utilize all 4GB of RAM as it does not have the disabled SM's, ROPS or Level 2 cache. What you are referring to (and was...

    Jen-Hsun On GeForce GTX 970

    Please do more research before spreading misinformation as you couldn't be further from the truth. "The GeForce GTX 970 is equipped with 4GB of dedicated graphics memory. However the 970 has a different configuration of SMs than the 980, and fewer crossbar resources to the memory system. To...

    Petitioning for 970 Refund

    No, selling the 970 privately and purchasing a new 980 would be rewarding the company. At least with taking a discount or returning, it is forcing all companies involved to do something. At the very least, its giving statistics by purchases and returns. Selling privately, all nvidia...

    Which 970 to get?

    Don't be so quick to dismiss EVGA. I had two previous 970 cards (SC and FTW) and had zero issues with either of them, including coil whine. The new SSC and FTW+ pretty much match what the competition offers and between the two the SSC would be the one to go with. The whole 970 debacle...

    Petitioning for 970 Refund

    To update this thread for Canadians who purchased a GTX 970 from Memory Express. Received a confirmation on Twitter and from the store that as of today (February 4) EVGA and Asus cards are eligible for a full cash refund. MSI cards are different - something about needing to return the card...

    Petitioning for 970 Refund

    So I have two separate GTX 970 cards (one FTW and one SC in two different systems) manufactured by EVGA. A few weeks after purchasing them, EVGA released an updated FTW+ and SSC and I originally planned to step up to the newer versions. However with the memory issue that is well...

    Computer Suddenly Turns Off and Restarts

    Well it's acting up again. The other night turned off and automatically restarted while playing TF2. Tried again and same thing. Gave up and did some web browsing and it turned off again and rebooted. Same thing last night. I've now gotten a message a couple of times about power...

    I would buy 970 but won't cause of possible coil whine, waiting for 960 TI's.

    I think you are taking the concerns about coil whine too seriously - yes, some cards have it but not all. I have two EVGA GTX 970's and aside from a few seconds of initial coil whine on one card, all has been quiet. EDIT: Reading the EVGA forums, it looks like at least EVGA accepts RMA's...

    Computer Suddenly Turns Off and Restarts

    Alright so I've spent the afternoon gaming without a restart so I think I figured it out. - Started with TF2 and rebooted three times within a minute. - Launched Furmark and after twenty minutes no reboot after ten minutes. - Launched Prime 95 followed by Furmark with no reboot after...

    Computer Suddenly Turns Off and Restarts

    I don't have a spare one per say but I built a computer for my son at the same time and our specs are pretty similar - luckily I went with modular PSU's so it should be super easy to swap out. I'd like to rule out software first. Is there a stress testing program that you could recommend...
