    Anyone use the Roccat Taito King mousepad or know what pads work well with the 3310 sensor?

    I got an Asus Strix Claw a few weeks back and the mouse is absolutely amazing for my big claw gripping hands but it's having issues with the G440. I think the mousepad is a bit too shiny so it messes with the sensor. I pulled out an old mousepad that is made of a darker matte plastic and the...

    How long did it take for your new mouse to feel natural?

    I bought a kone XTD optical back in October, and it was only very recently that the mouse finally started feeling natural in my hand. That was well over 150+ hours of gaming to break it in. I don't remember my other mice taking this long. Maybe it's because I used my other mouse for like 8...

    Never buying a Gigabyte Windforce card again...

    The card under heavy load was getting atrocious 75°C+ temps with that cooling system. At one point it was 84°C with the fans spinning above 80 percent. Those fans aren't quiet by any stretch either and the fan had a grating rubbing sound when it was above 70%. Was pretty pissed about it tbh...

    Does a fan controller like this exist?

    I have 5 non-pwm fans. Is there a fan controller available that plugs into cpu fan header and sets the voltages for the 5 fans based on the pwm signal?

    Getting massive amounts of air in my two radiators

    I have an mcp350 pump, 2 240mm rads, raystorm block and a single bay res that is above the pump. I have tried filling it about 5 times now and everytime it seems like each rad is half filled with air. As I move the case around I can hear the water sloshing around in them. Is this a sign of a...

    Can I remove the 7970 cooler without Sapphire being able to detect it?

    I want to reapply the thermal paste but taking off the cooler voids the warranty. Is there a way I can remove it then reapply without them noticing? Specifically I'm wondering if there are any stickers or indicators that will change color or rip when removing the cooler.

    would encrypting a hard drive with a long password then selling be secure enough?

    I don't need 2 1.5 tb hard drives any more so I am going to sell them on the internet. I was wondering if I quickly encrypt the drives with truecrypt with a long password, then format, all the data should be unrecoverable right? I've heard about that dban tool but it sounds like it takes forever

    can this be the correct temperature?

    I just installed an i7 860 and I am using the latest core temp, still at default clock settings. It's reading 18-18-18-18 right now, and some times it will jump a couple cores up to 26 to 27 for a second and then they all go back down to between 17 and 19. If I restart the computer and go...
