    Some Guy Is Driving A Hybrid To The South Pole

    As an owner of two Priuses, a big fan of the Denver Broncos, and someone who has always desired the ability to crush traffic in front of me under treads, I want one.

    Note 3 vs LG G3

    Until yesterday, I would advise Samsung products for mobiles, never have had a problem from a Samsung Blackjack, to an SII, to a Note 3, to a Note 4...and then the story changes with a Gear S, their newest smartwatch. I'll spare the details to avoid a thread hijack, but due to a poor design...

    Intel Sandy Bridge 2600K and 2500K Processors @ [H]

    It's the longest I've kept one as well, with a 2600K ripping along at 4.4ghz stock voltage, and I haven't even really pushed it. Hell, I was about to upgrade to a 5830 before coming here and taking the suggestion of upgrading my video card and just OC'ing my processor...

    Is an upgrade worth it?

    Well, first benchies are in, and I'm impressed. DAMN impressed. Company of Heroes, everything CRANKED: Pretty much the same average FPS between both the 670 and 970, but the 970 has a 25% higher minimum framerate. Company of Heroes 2 - holy sweet jumpin' jeebus... 670, Autodetect - 39.63...

    Is an upgrade worth it?

    Ayup, there is. I decided to silly splurge and buy a Corsair self contained water cooling setup for the processor, I figured if anything a Corsair case shouldn't be too hard to install it in. Tonight I'm doing benchline stat runs on 3DMark, some games, etc. That way I know exactly what kind...

    Is an upgrade worth it?

    Again, thanks all - I'll be picking up an EVGA GeForce 970, plus a new full tower case from Corsair, on my way home this afternoon. I've had my current case for probably close to 5 years, and that's enough. Gonna have a good weekend of overclocking and testing ahead of me!

    Is an upgrade worth it?

    Thanks all for the replies - I think I will go with the 970 upgrade + a new CPU cooler. The case itself is good, it is a coolermaster with a 120mm in in the front, 120 out in the back, and a monster (200mm) in the top, sucking air out of the top. Those benches from Anand are what clinched it...

    Is an upgrade worth it?

    If I were to OC the processor I have now, and get a new video card, what would you all suggest in regards to a sufficient upgrade to notice a difference? I do notice that if I crank everything to Ultra in things like Company of Heroes 2, it can stutter, and I'm thinking of course it will be...

    Is an upgrade worth it?

    Thanks for the reply. If I've read the articles correctly, I'd only have to worry about the reduced PCI-E lanes if I was running SLI or Crossfire, correct? As tasty as multiple cards would be, the 670 has been a beast/workhorse for me, and I think I can go longer riding that. 1440p res is of...

    Is an upgrade worth it?

    Any help is appreciated. I currently have the following: i7-2600K that I've never tried to overclock Appropriate Gigabyte motherboard, I've fallen so far out of knowing chipsets and processor code names (Palomino, Kalamath, Tualatin, used to know them ALL) that "appropriate gigabyte...
