    Need recomendation for GPUs on a budget for WoW Classic

    If you do go with the beefier case/powersupply and don't mind used, you might be able to pick up a RX580 8g on ebay for ~100cad. Most I saw were shipped from the us though. Might be able to do better on your local Craigslist equivalent.

    WTB: Socket 939 Mobo

    My DFI stash. No Ultra-D. also previously owned a NF2 with an XP-M barton. SLI-DR Expert has a single bulging cap that I noticed. my 165 ran 2.6 on the stock cooler. Not sure if the IHS compound was bad, cpu temps were wonky before I retired it. CF3200 has no audio module. Sorry for blurry pics...

    Failing desktop - repair or replace?

    79C cpu temp is a bit warm for just a game. Are you running the stock CPU cooler? Is it dusty? Have you ever replaced the TIM? What are your GPU temps in game? If you just want an excuse to upgrade, go for it. New hardware is always nice. I am assuming you are on x58 with a i7 920? If you want...

    How W10 Will Prevent Updates from Randomly Rebooting Your PC: Machine Learning

    The pro version should not be called pro It might be tolerable as "home". I once had it update my newer video driver with an older whql one while I was in the middle of a game in borderless mode. Had it reboot while running a game server. lost files due to corruption when rebooted unexpectedly...

    Best x99 mobo around $300 without tons of user complaints? (what's up with all the toasted CPUs?)

    I have the x99 Phoenix with a 6800k and haven't had any issues other than deciding to buy ram that wasn't on the compatibility list. I wasn't able to use the xmp profile. I have not attempted any overclocking yet either. Sound quality is reasonably good. I think that most of the first gen x99...

    Top 10 FPS Games of ALL TIME

    Well, approximately ranked by estimated playtime. The list is not comprehensive but 10 was not quite enough.

    Google Wants Your Help with the Development of the Next Pixel

    I would be happy with a galaxy s5 with upgraded hardware and an unlocked bootloader. Samsung had a pretty good design, dual sim would be another nice addition. Other than that, a reasonable price.

    Sub $700 General use laptop

    That looks pretty nice. I was thinking more along the lines of intel integrated graphics for improved battery life. I have also had quite a bit of trouble getting upgraded laptop gfx drivers for dell laptops with the discreet + integrated combo.

    Sub $700 General use laptop

    Mixed brand memory in a Dell XPS?

    Smile, nod and continue with the install. If the specs are the same, and you aren't experiencing BSOD's or the like you should be fine. If you are concerned, run a few passes of memtest.

    Galaxy GTX560TI overheating

    Thanks, I will attempt an rma. The measurements were from afterburner - which i was using to control the fan speed. From my experience, a card with a working heatsink will rise to it's maximum temperature over a period longer than 5s. If the card had shown any signs of slowing down at 90c, I...

    Galaxy GTX560TI overheating

    I recently came across a galaxy gtx560ti. I purchased the card for a friend, so I started stability testing as soon as I got it. The instant I turned on a game temperatures quickly rose to 90C (it would have continued to rise) with fans manually set to 100% before i stopped the test. My first...

    Storage setup

    Ordered a DL180G6 with two L5639, 14 trays, and 2x4g ecc. I plan to use one of the L5639s in my x58 box for now. I had originally planned to pick up one of the supermicro boxes. However, I did not think it would meet my processing needs. I considered the HPx6100 (80w qc xenon, 3x2GB) for $300...

    Storage setup

    I have read about many people running the 24bay supermicro servers for data storage. How does the HP DL180 G6(2u,14bay) hold up against the supermicro? I would like to run a few VMs in addition to serving files. Or should I opt for something else?

    Three year old DDR3 1600 still good?

    The only potential issue that I see is that your current ram is rated at 1.65v. I am pretty sure Ivy bridge is only rated to ~1.575v. (hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in) It may be fine or you could probably run your ram at 1333 at 1.5v. Just be sure to run a few passes of...

    Issue with graphics card---screen shaking

    It could be a problem with the tv's build in scaler If it only happens when you change the resolution. It may help if you run all of your games at the tv's native resolution or use the scaler on the graphics card instead. (Not sure if this is possible with ati cards) You may want to consider...

    This Can't be right!!

    Are you transcoding directly from the bd? How fast is your destination drive? What version of handbrake are you using? You may want to try running a smaller test file directly from the hdd on the pc.
