    Need recomendation for GPUs on a budget for WoW Classic

    If you do go with the beefier case/powersupply and don't mind used, you might be able to pick up a RX580 8g on ebay for ~100cad. Most I saw were shipped from the us though. Might be able to do better on your local Craigslist equivalent.

    WTB: Socket 939 Mobo

    My DFI stash. No Ultra-D. also previously owned a NF2 with an XP-M barton. SLI-DR Expert has a single bulging cap that I noticed. my 165 ran 2.6 on the stock cooler. Not sure if the IHS compound was bad, cpu temps were wonky before I retired it. CF3200 has no audio module. Sorry for blurry pics...

    Failing desktop - repair or replace?

    79C cpu temp is a bit warm for just a game. Are you running the stock CPU cooler? Is it dusty? Have you ever replaced the TIM? What are your GPU temps in game? If you just want an excuse to upgrade, go for it. New hardware is always nice. I am assuming you are on x58 with a i7 920? If you want...

    How W10 Will Prevent Updates from Randomly Rebooting Your PC: Machine Learning

    The pro version should not be called pro It might be tolerable as "home". I once had it update my newer video driver with an older whql one while I was in the middle of a game in borderless mode.

    Best x99 mobo around $300 without tons of user complaints? (what's up with all the toasted CPUs?)

    I have the x99 Phoenix with a 6800k and haven't had any issues other than deciding to buy ram that wasn't on the compatibility list. I wasn't able to use the xmp profile. I have not attempted any overclocking yet either. Sound quality is reasonably good. I think that most of the first gen x99...

    Top 10 FPS Games of ALL TIME

    Well, approximately ranked by estimated playtime. The list is not comprehensive but 10 was not quite enough. Though, if you lumped mods together with the base game the list may become quite short. Counter Strike x to 1.6 Team Fortress Day of Defeat CS Source Team Fortress 2 Unreal Tournament -...

    Google Wants Your Help with the Development of the Next Pixel

    I would be happy with a galaxy s5 with upgraded hardware and an unlocked bootloader. Samsung had a pretty good design, dual sim would be another nice addition. Other than that, a reasonable price.
