    Newegg videocard RMA..

    Nice! Thanks for the info my good man.. I've ordered all my parts from newegg.ca and haven't had any issues as of yet (haven't returned anything though) Is TigerDirect the worst out of the pack? I've had a pretty bad experience with them.. I waited over one week and noticed that my order...

Recently, Amazon.ca has added Prime and is adding a lot of products (noticed a lot of...

I am happy with it but noticed that it does run a little hot when playing games like Crysis 2 while the GPU is OC.. (read a great guide on another forum that helped me out). So I...

    Learning the Basic Terminology??

    Hey Guys, I am fairly new to the entire hardware world, but I finally built a computer from scratch and basically fell in love with this hobby! Love seeing the temperatures fluctuate, trying to make the machine cooler etc.. GPU's are probably the component that excites me the most, and I...
