    New Intel Build Since After Waiting Six Years

    It's the Allsop Comfortbead Wrist Rest for the mouse. It's like a beanbag for your wrist, and I use it all the time for gaming... so much so that I go through one every couple of years from wear and tear...

    New Intel Build Since After Waiting Six Years

    Oh definitely. I'm eyeing 4K gaming next, but want the technology to mature just a tad. Will definitely need to go Tri-SLI w/ at least 4GB VRam at those resolutions.

    9 Aquacompeter rads?! Dude, you have to log this. With that much surface area, I'm very curios to see what your temps are with fans at a dead stop.

    Video Capture Card For 1600p (2560x1600) Monitor

    UPDATE I downloaded and installed the H.264 codec (video) and the LAME codec (audio), and was able to reduce the file size down to 200MB per minute without reducing noticeable quality. This essentially means that my 256GB SSD can store roughly about 21 hours worth of video. This is...

    Video Capture Card For 1600p (2560x1600) Monitor

    UPDATE: Just experimented with Dxtory and it works well without any dedicated hardware. With Dxtory, I experience no framerate drops in-game, which is awesome. Recording with Dxtory codec @ 1080p + 30fps yields about 7GB per minute of game play. With a 1TB HD, that gives me about 2...

    Video Capture Card For 1600p (2560x1600) Monitor

    Thanks for the input everyone. I just experimented with trying to do video capture without the use of a dedicated card, and the results are horrendous. I used XSplit, played my game at 1600p resolution, and locally broadcasted at 1080p. The game was unplayable while the game was...

    Video Capture Card For 1600p (2560x1600) Monitor

    Is there a video capture card that will allow me to game at 1600p while recording it at 1080p? I want to run it as multiple monitor setup in clone configuration. The card basically needs to ingest a 1600p feed, then scale it to 1080p, then encode to video file in real time. I looked...

    Been running Danger Den Dreamflex 1/2"ID x 3/4"OD blue uv tubing with EK Coolant Blue UV since Nov 2011 without flush. I upgraded my GPUs last month so I drained my loop, installed and connected the GPUs, and filled it back up. Upon starting the pump, I almost immediately noticed little...

    EVGA GTX 780 Hydro Copper SLI

    I honestly don't think the difference in performance is noticeable since they are clocked pretty close. The only reason why you'd buy the hydro coppers over the ACX is if you want to run it in a water cooled rig with low-sound signature and possibly higher OC capabilities ( although I wasn't...

    EVGA GTX 780 Hydro Copper SLI

    Oh sorry. Here are my temps. Each can run 10-12 cooler if I max out my fans. But I'm really adamant about running my rig *dead silent*. Basically I turn fans down to standstill, and then I crank them back up to just when they start spinning, and then leave it at that RPM. Serial loop...

    Euclideon (Unlimited Detail Technology) Status Update...

    At face value, they are using a massive index for which their algorithm can search 1 point per pixel at run time, in real time, straight from data on disk with some RAM caching mechanics. As the way I naively understand indices, you build them once, and unless the data changes, you don't need...

    GTX Titan vs 2x GTX 780 SLI 8x 8x

    Agreed... these guys went the d-bag route, but they have a point. Unless you have horrible vision, you should be playing at 2560x1600 with the Titan or GTX 780 SLIs locked at 60hz. Otherwise what's the point? I mean, the reason we buy expensive graphics card is for the *best* graphics...

    New Intel Build Since After Waiting Six Years

    Yeah so far I'm super happy with the performance especially with NVidia's latest drivers for the 590s. I'd say the Xonar Sense w/ the Sennheiser PC350s and the RevoDrive 3 are my favorite components... oh and the case. I think the next game I'll throw at it is Crysis 3.

    New Intel Build Since After Waiting Six Years

    Oh sweet... I did a Google search for my build I did back in November, and then I found out that this build was posted as "Reader of the Day"! That means a lot from a community of strong tech enthusiasts such as HardOCP. http://www.hardocp.com/news/2011/11/15/h_reader_upgrade_day/ Thanks Steve!

    Asus Xonar Xense Review

    The Xonar Xense software and hardware was designed for the PC350. And conversely, Sennheiser specificcally made this PC350 for the Xonar Xense. So it will sound awesome.

    Asus Xonar Xense Review

    Thanks ruin97140, I hope you enjoy the Xonar Xense as much as I did. Maybe it's because I never really had great headphones with a great amp before (as in $500 headphones with $800 amp or something equally ridiculous), but the Xonar Xense is really the "complete package" for a great listening...

    Asus Xonar Xense Review

    How do you measure or adjust the DPC latency gain? And how does it impact audio quality? My PC 350s plug straight to the back of the card. You're correct about GX-mode, it makes zero changes to sound quality when listening to music - only in games because it's an EAX 5x emulator. The good...
