    Advice wanted: Help me find the right fingertip grip gaming mouse

    killmenow, I really appreciate your insight into the Spawn. I know many love this mouse (and it's a great deal price-wise). For my use, however, there are a few issues with it. First, I'm not a claw grip user; I use a fingertip grip. And while I haven't managed to find a Spawn in...

    Advice wanted: Help me find the right fingertip grip gaming mouse

    Autochthon and L4d, thanks for the replies. The process continues... I haven't tried rotating the mouse, but it seems that if I want to get into a different mouse, I am going to have to adjust my grip some, so this is worth trying. L4d, you're right that the Kone Pure Optical seems like...

    Advice wanted: Help me find the right fingertip grip gaming mouse

    doubletake, I want to thank you for that dose of perspective. Though I've solicited a lot of feedback in my now somewhat lengthy seach for a mouse, you're the first to present it in this light. And, funny enough, just this morning prior to reading your post, I thought that very thing — perhaps...

    Advice wanted: Help me find the right fingertip grip gaming mouse

    The Kone Pure Optical could work, since when I said at least 5 buttons, I was including LMB and RMB. So, if you add that to the middle mouse button (mouse wheel click) and the two left thumb buttons, you make the 5 minimum. I'm concerned that it may be too wide to fingertip, but I'll look into...

    Advice wanted: Help me find the right fingertip grip gaming mouse

    First, thanks for reading. Over the past few weeks I've done a ridiculous amount of research and searching for the right mouse for me, and I just can't seem to identify a good fit (often literally). Here are my specs: - I have truly average sized man hands (7.5" wrist to longest...

    Based on aamsel's explanation, mine is week 26. Haven't OC'd it yet, so no idea about its performance. - ELB

    Suggestions for Benchmarking New System Please

    Thanks, Chris, for letting me know all is well -- I have this issue with always being skeptical all the right drivers were loaded during the chaos of installation. Part of the reason for this is that SiSoftSandra's "performance analysis and optimizer" listed some issues, namely that my system...

    Suggestions for Benchmarking New System Please

    Well, I downloaded a number of the benchmarking tools Chris mentioned and received the following scores: 3dMark2006: 5803 (1st run), 5118 (2nd run), 5811 (3rd run), 5784 (4th run) Interestingly, the 2nd run was the one for which I attempted to turn off everything I have running in the...

    Suggestions for Benchmarking New System Please

    I recently finished building a C2D-based system and would like to benchmark it to ensure all is functioning at the level it should be. While it's clearly most important to test the CPU and GPU functionality, I'm also interested in HD speeds (read mostly). What resources would you recommend for...

    Help w/Fan Controller Solution or GPU Fan Adapter Options

    This looks like a great little unit, and the price is a bargain. My only follow-up question is how these fan controllers work, as it seems to me that they provide speed control for fans that don't ordinarily come with variable (graduated) or multiple speed setting: 1) Do these allow you to...

    Help w/Fan Controller Solution or GPU Fan Adapter Options

    I built a new rig today, and I'm happy to report that, on the main, it's working just fine. However, I noticed while loading WinXP that my Zalman VF-900 GPU cooler fan wasn't spinning at all. So, as soon as Windows finished loading, I shut the machine down. I then monkeyed with the fan's...

    Dedicated-GPU PSU or Better single PSU?

    Re: sentinel software. My card may very well come with it, but since I've yet to build the machine (and it isn't installed in my current one), I don't know. I will certainly look out for it once I get the software installed, etc. And if it doesn't come with it, I'll look for software that...

    Dedicated-GPU PSU or Better single PSU?

    Again, Jonny, thank you for your attention to my issues -- I came back to the forums with them because I didn't want to trouble you overmuch with my PMs. And I did have questions outstanding that may be obvious to those who understand PSUs, watts and amps, but not to a novice like me...

    Dedicated-GPU PSU or Better single PSU?

    I apologize up front for the length of this post, but I wanted to air all the issues and options. I've been involved in two threads over the past few days concerning whether my new Ultra V-series 500w PSU (an admittedly cheap, but universally regarded as solid though not stellar unit) would...
