    Microcenter CPU/Mobo Policy

    I built my latest gaming box at Microcenter in Sharonville, Ohio and I had a fantastic experience. I took my shopping list from PC Parts Picker and they price matched everything. In some cases, their bundles made it cheaper than I could have purchased offline. From that experience, it sounds...

    More Video Games Cause Violence BS

    If they're gonna bash on games, at least get their facts straight. Impressive and you are tied for the lead come from Unreal Tournament, not GTA. :rolleyes: In Farcry 3 you are held captive against your will and you are trying to get away. HOW IS THIS A BAD THING? If you are being held...

    Bungie: 'Nobody Plays Shooters With A Mouse And Keyboard'

    Most games developed on console then ported to PC are horrible. Not the game itself. It's usually an interesting game with a piss-poor move to the PC. The easiest thing to say is, "no one wants a keyboard and mouse." In my mind, that translates to, "We'd have to do too much work to make it...

    Best Electrostatic Discharge Safety Video EVER

    I watched a buddy discharge a CRT years ago while sitting on a stool at his bench. It sent him SAILING across the room!

    To Crossfire or not?

    So, a friend of mine and I have discussed this topic for some time now. I am currently completely absorbed in to Far Cry 3. It's about the only game I play worth noting. I have an HD 6870 card and I was thinking of tossing in a second HD 6870. I have found them used as low at $129.00...

    Borderlands 2 Gameplay Performance and IQ Review @ [H]

    I recently RMA'd a 9800GT and EVGA sent me a 450GTS. I use an HIS 6870 as my main card. I installed both cards, using the latest Beta Catalyst and the latest recommended 450GTS driver. I ran the software that should enable physx and rebooted. The game ran first time out, with everything...

    9800 GT vs 450 GTS

    I bought a 9800GT Akimbo from EVGA some time ago. It recently stopped working. I did an RMA and EVGA is sending me a 450 GTS to replace the card. I am having difficulty finding comparisons between the 2 cards. The akimbo cooler added a premium to the card that I do not believe they took in...

    2500k, overclocking and voltage?

    So I decided to go for it - I pushed the volts up to 1.45 - that was the magic number - Windows booted - I am running Orthos now. Cpuz validation - http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2484818

    2500k, overclocking and voltage?

    This is a great question. I just got my new rig put together tonight and I am still tweaking. 10 minutes of Orthos and my temps are still at 52C - 54C - this H80 is pretty awesome, its not even on the highest setting. Here's my cpuz validation -...

    i5 2500k burnt?

    When you say boot, you mean no post or anything? I would pull out the RAM and video card to see if you get any post codes. (Beeping) If you do, count them. That will point you in a direction.

    Real world upgrade advice

    I believe you will see that a Z68 motherbaord is pretty reasonable in both price and performance and can help keep the cost of the upgrade down a bit. You're most likely looking at spending over $200 on a chip. So, to keep this in the sub-$300.00 realm, Z68 is probably the way to go. If you...

    i5 - 2500k

    Yea, like I said. The amazing part was the fact that they actually cared enough to give back my 2.99. I have dealt with other companies that told me I was just s.o.l. for any help. Even a large Nvidia reseller that begins with an E has gotten me a few times on shipping.

    Who is still using intel Core 2 duo processors for gaming?

    I have an E8500 @ 4.1ghz and an E6400@3.2ghz - I even have an E4300@3.0 ghz. The E8500 is connected to a 23" panel @ 1920x1080 resolution. It has an HIS HD6870 in it and I can run every game at high or ultra settings, with playable framerate. I play BF 3 on High and get around 40 fps...

    i5 - 2500k

    Btw, that 900w PS was on sale for $99.00 - I could have gotten the 750w version for $110.00 at the time. Seemed like a no-brainer to me.
