    A Sad Day: My Turtle Beach HPA2s just broke...replacement model (Z6a) sucks, help.

    I loved my Turtle Beach HPA2s, and haven't been able to find a decent replacement given their recent passing. I want to keep my sound card which is a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium, a USB solution isn't something I'd consider unless the tech has changed where USB is now many times better than...

    It amazes me how effective Apple's marketing campaigns are. They really do manage to take price out of the immediate consumer decision making process.

    My Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset just broke, what should I buy to replace it?

    Greetings! I am now in search of a new set of headphones (it doesn't have to be a headset because I use a mic stand) and was wondering what you all would recommend. I have a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer sound card so I'm not sure USB is the best answer. Also, I was wondering if...

    Serious performance issues with a good rig....about to give up

    It has been suggested that my motherboard is to blame for all of my problems. According to one commenter on another forum (confirmed via Everest), my southbridge controls my PCIe16x slot, which apparently is a massive choke hold on one's GPU... thoughts?

    Serious performance issues with a good rig....about to give up

    that's what I'm thinking but my next concern comes with my CPU idle temps and the FSB. I can only overclock my CPU by FSB, and currently at 2.8 the processor idles at 50 and hits around 60 under load, isn't 63 the TJmax? Is my heatsink faulty? -It could be even though it is aftermarket, I...
