    Is my video card or PCI slot dead?

    Do you possibly have a low powered graphics card like the HD5450 that you can plug in without power coming to it from the PSU? That would help rule out a dead slot. You might also want to test your voltages coming out of your PCI-E cables with a DMM if you have one. Another option is try...

    Samsung Magician 4.4 huge speed boost here

    I would honestly just rather make a RAMdisk than use rapid mode. I don't see a point to using it when you are still going to be bottlenecked by the SSDs actual speed. (When going over 4GB) Besides benchmarking, I don't see where it could actually make a difference.

    what ssd maker do you prefer?

    I honestly just prefer a decently fast drive with a great warranty from a reputible company that uses good parts. So, Crucial, Samsung, or Corsair. Never used a Crucial drive before, but I do plan on picking up one of those 512GB MX100s! :D

    ASUS rma advice

    When it comes to a company stonewalling you like that. All you can do is provide all the information you previously provided and show them that it is their fault. If they still keep on giving you the run along. Continually escalate until something is done. If you have been emailing them...

    Member Reviews?

    What is the policy on member reviews and posting them? Also, where should I be posting them if that is allowed? I would assume in their designated section, (If it's a graphics card then it would go in the graphics card section, mobo in mobo section, etc)

    Replacing my PSU

    I've heard that a lot and that's not true at all. The RM series is a good PSU. Sure, they don't use all Japanese capacitors and that might be an issue for some, but for the OP's system it is a perfectly capable power supply. You are right though, he's is paying a bit extra because of the...

    Need a USB mic for streaming/chat with friends

    What's your budget mate? I've heard good things about the Audio Technica ATR2500 or the 2100 if that's too much out of budget. I have the AT2020 USB and it's a fantastic mic, and doesn't need a pop filter.

    Intel Z97, what's the point?

    I saw that as well. TTL was doing a review of one of the lower end ASUS boards and was running a 4770k @ 4.9Ghz with 1.28 or something crazy like that. I've only seen a crazy golden chip do that before. You guys are forgetting to mention that the voltage regulator is moving off of the CPU...

    eVGA E-Leet Tuning Utility

    I really like the ELEET Tuning Utility. However, I run a EVGA X79 Dark, so I can control the voltages on my motherboard as well. Honestly, if you just want to control your GPU, I'd suggest using either PrecisionX or MSI Afterburner. You should be able to find a custom bios for your GPU to...
