    Helping with my friend's build

    Hello Tirades - my friend wants to play at 1920 x 1080, the Antec was purchased last year, not sure of the model but its a 800 watt psu. My friend decided not to go crossfire now, but maybe later. The ram we aren't certain. We know its corsair DDR3 ... we think it's CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (4 x 2GB)...

    Helping with my friend's build

    Cool thanks a lot of the input Danny I'm checking with my friend to get you some answers. Your right $20 bucks is $20 bucks. But the Republic gear is pretty awesome for bragging rights. I compared the boards and they do look very close in features...

    Need Help to Review New Build

    not to butt in and put your build into question, but is this another desktop designer build with a water cooler? If you don't OC why do you need water? Everyone knows they perfected air cooling with the hyper 212 at $25.00 dollars per unit. The H100 is way, way over kill. The stock CPU cooler on...

    Apple Technology Stops iPhones From Filming Live Events

    So it's like I buy a Honda and Honda tells me. Them: "Stay away from 5th street. If you go to 5th street we will shut your car down remotely." Me: "But I paid you for my car?" Them: "shutup noob." Me: "Can I change my case to white?" Them: "We will sue your ass. You can't...

    Just a quick question....

    I asked this question just 2 weeks ago goom. I checked the forums, poked around a online configurator and ended up doing it the proper way. Counting up my wattage from components on idle and load. I eventually reached the same conclusion you did, but I got a added glint of hope. A 650 watt psu...

    Lionhead: Second hand sales on consoles worse than piracy on PC

    Its rare to see a developer mention this, since they usually say things like "piracy is crippling sales" - EA even went as far to say there "wouldn't be a MW3 due to piracy of MW2" never once had I heard them say that second hand MW2 is costing us millions of lost revenue. At least we are light...

    gtx 260 oc problem?

    Hi Op Too many weird factors here to diagnose really. - it's a used card? - did you update the driver after Win 7? I assume you did. - Your extra hard drives are drawing more power than before, thats a likely suspect... maybe the PSU? - Minecraft isn't exactly a mainstream product with tons of...

    GeForce overheats TOTALLY randomly (EVGA GTX260 non-OC, SP216).

    Hi OP Not sure if I can help, but I had a 260 GTX for 2 years and it regularly ran into the 90s. Crashes weren't that uncommon once or twice a week. Sometimes a game will have moments where the GPU activity will spike, and that may be causing it to overheat. My 260 eventually got to the point...

    buy gtx 460 sli or single 6950

    For the last few months reading the articles... Kyle loves the 6950 because it's a "high performance" product, where the 460 is mid-grade and falling. A 260 is a powerhouse, it creates lots of heat and draws lots of wattage. Two of them and you have a easy bake oven for a computer. A 6950 with...

    Shogun 2 (Vid Game) Turns Me Into An OC - Help/Advice/Suggestions Welcome

    I hear you OP My .02 cents is to switch to a smaller monitor or swap to a bigger video card with more memory or SLI.... The Evga 570 is a 1280MB card .... that may struggle pushing to your 47" display. The card is great, but not designed for large screen gaming and this is why Kyle pushed the...

    Is there a "best" case fan out there?

    We need more love for the SFlex ... because of the SONY Fluid Dynamic Bearing that is used is rated over 150,000 MTBF ... meaning it has a greater life expectancy than a traditional Sleeved bearings.... Observe: Sleeved bearings are the cheapest to make, with an expectancy of 30,000hours...

    Anyone else looking forward to this?

    fighting terrorism? What kind of game is that? It would be like: - Make 200 phone calls a day - Make 30 cash offers a day for solid intel - Offer one rebuffed... please re-negotiate with CIA informant #22343232 Add $10,000 to sweeten the deal or terminate contract? I think 99% of the...

    I need a new PC game to play...

    I guess it just decides on the user.... Looks like a lot of random suggestions, but I will throw my .02 in there as well. I'm currently playing: Mount & Blade Warband (warming up for the new Mount & Blade) Metro 2033 BFBC2: Vietnam Total War Shogun 2 All of them I highly recommend, but it...

    Man Unknowingly Liveblogs Bin Laden Operation

    So they got him. +1 for Seal Team 6. I love how Obama sits in the sun and smiles a lot. Well Mr. Obama, back here in America ... we have drug cartels filling mass graves. We have record unemployment, a wrecked housing market, a smashed economy, 3rd world education, foreign wars that no...
