    Corsair Vengeance RAM Giveaway! 5 12GB Kits!

    Corsair RAM owns! I have used their ram in quite a few of my builds and this upgrade would be huge for my current gaming/folding rig. I had to choose processor over ram (with folding in mind) in my current build due to budget. A solid product by a solid company, look at the [H] reviews of...

    Corsair HS1 Gaming Headset Give-Away - 5 Sets!!!

    My current headphones are open-ear headphones. While normally this is ok, it caused a problem at a recent LAN. It was not until the middle of a Left 4 Dead 2 round when I overheard the conversation between three mid-late teens discussing the size of other people's penis (trying to keep it...

    Sharp Shows Glasses-Free 3D

    I am guessing the technology for "glasses free" 3D is similar to what Nintendo announced they would use in the 3DS slated for next year? I think it makes sense on one-user devices. You are definitely correct about scaling though. Game Informer had a decent article on the device from E3 and...

    Winter time is right around the corner...

    The weather here in MI is cooling off so I started a bigadv on my main rig early yesterday morning and then also started folding on my laptop last night. It is sad that the warm weather is leaving but exciting to begin folding again. :)

    Windows BIGADV is Here

    Just a small update: I was wanting to start/stop client to adjust cores when gaming. Thank you "mplee", I have been able to start/stop the WU while switching from 8 to 6 cores and then back to 8 without any problems. (Have done so a few times). "jebo_4jc", I know you recommended I not...

    Windows BIGADV is Here

    Has anyone tried adjusting the number of cores mid-unit? I know this would fail in VM world with -bigadv, wondering about Windows. I use my rig to game in the evenings after work so I like to cut back to 6 cores for a couple of hours, then bump back to 8. I switch to 6 and reboot VM or...

    Arghhhh.......lost another -bigadv :(

    I have had similar problems recently, I will shutdown the VMWare using a virtual machine version that includes a backup even... and it seems that lately I have a good chance of losing the Work Unit. For the past 2 months I could shut a WU down 5 - 6 times if needed with no problems at all, and...

    Abit F-I90HD CPU Cooler w/Microfly

    Thank you. I was not sure how well the 7700 performed. Sorry about the case... I have had it awhile or I would have picked it up from you. I just ordered the HSF and Mobo... I waited on the HSF while I read reviews, perhaps you can save some shipping by popping them in the same box. : )...

    Abit F-I90HD CPU Cooler w/Microfly

    I am going to pick up the board (heading your way Steeeve) to drop a 6600C2D in it. I bought a microfly case many months ago that I am finally going to use with the Ultra 550 PSU. I checked the FAQ and it lists a few CPU coolers that will work. Does anyone have any recommendations for a CPU...

    6300 + Micro OC?

    Thank you for the reply. I like the microfly case. It looks slightly larger but having the ability to use a standard power supply, extra slots, and an extra bay will be worth it. I wish there were more selections for boards. I really only have a few requirements but the big one that...

    6300 + Micro OC?

    I see a lot of nice overclocks off of the 6300 with standard motherboards (mainly the Gigabyte 965) but has anyone had any luck with a micro board? I am looking to put together a Q-Xpack case and wanted to use the Gigabyte 945 micro board with the 6300 processor. I know I may not hit the...
