CPU by itself $GONE, board $GONE CPU and board combo $GONE. CPU only handled with disposable gloves going in and out of the system. Never had thermal paste on it, a graphite pad was used. All original packaging for both CPU and board, nothing missing. More photos available upon request. Price...

SOLD continental US only. G.Skill part F4-3200C14D-16GFX Bought 2x16GB sticks and time to let these go. I ran them at Ryzen spec, 2666MHz 14-14-14-34 1T, no idea on any other results. I had zero problems with them, no returns or trades. Heatware Google Wallet only Thanks!

I'm using the 16GB FlareX 14ms kit right now but running out of RAM and need to move to 32GB. Will any kit work at 2666 or higher with Ryzen? The 32GB FlareX kit on G.Skill's site is 2133. Which is what I thought those were maxing out at months ago when I built my system. Was hoping something...

*****SOLD***** Price: $375 for everything with free shipping. Only ships to US48. No trades. Comes with receipt from Fry's for the warranty. Heatware or similar preferred. May pickup in south Austin. Why I'm selling it: CPU was used for less than a week and was not overclocked or overvolted in...

I'm currently running a GF1060 Founders Edition in my Node202. It's great. I have the PSU capacity to run a GF1080 (Corsair SF600). Has anyone here used something like the 1080 in a Node202 and ran into any problems? My guess is that it idles at the desktop the same as my 1060FE (42C right now)...

Bought a few months ago, used it for 1 week or so. Sitting in the box since. Installed Windows and then did a quick format. $310 shipped to US48. These things are pretty durable but insurance is extra (whatever my cost ends up being). Google Wallet only. Can pickup in person. Thanks...

Building my new R7 1800X/Cryorig C7 rig on Tuesday and looking for TIM that works well but won't dry up for many years. Right now I'm looking at Arctic MX-4, they advertise 8 years without reapplication. Does anyone know the difference between MX4 and MX2? Or is there anything else I should be...

I'm sitting here with all this gear, and no AM4 adapter kit. Does anyone know anyone at Cryorig or how to get these guys attention? They appear to have Indian based support that couldn't care less, and just tell you to take a hike. Won't be buying from Cryorig again, Noctua or maybe Scythe going...

Ordering the rest of my R7 1800X build tomorrow except for the motherboard. Very unsure on the RAM. Unsure if I should go with that 32GB kit or the AMD specific FlareX 16GB kit (F4-3200C14D-16GFX). I intend to swap out the motherboard for an Asus mITX AM4 in the eventual release. So if I can't...

I know the JBL 305s are pretty popular but interested to know if anyone has compared them with the XD5s. They're a little cheaper and look pretty good both on paper and in design. The JBLs are borderline ugly. It would be nice to have a 2.0 system with the option to add a sub later, but I've...

I have an Asus 1060 and AVC acceleration is definitely working, but any VP9 video seems to be 100% on the CPU in both FF and Chrome. This video brings my system to it's knees but an AVC video does not, 5% CPU utilization. I'm on 372.54, Windows 10 64bit Anniversary Update. I did a refresh of...

I currently have the Terk TV5 and it seems OK.. but I'm wondering if there are any other indoor antennas that cover both UHF/VHF? I'm not sure if I'm picking up anything on VHF right now (I'm on the outer realm of the Chicago suburbs), but I know I'll lose a few channels if I don't have it...

I'm looking to pickup a laptop for light gaming (League of Legends and TF2), and interested in the new AMD and Intel platform with an integrated CPU/GPU. Mainly interested in low heat and power requirements. Too many laptops (even slow ones) are very hot.. and I predict even Llano and SB...

I'm asking because I don't believe using an enclosure and adding your own HDD allows for very much power management? Is it better for power management reasons, and drive longevity, to use a premade external? I've only seen 1 external enclosure that touts power management features.

Anyone have any info on this? So far, I don't know of any native 4k drives, just 512e. Personally I've avoiding 512e drives in favor of either native 512 or native 4k. Holding out for the native 4ks though, whenever those are going to be released.

I've been doing some research and looking primarily at WD and Hitachi. Leaning towards the WD Green 1 or 2TB (WD20EARS for 4k). I think they'd be good for an external or any other device I might use in the future. I'm not positive if a 5400RPM drive would be OK or not, I haven't had one since...

I've tried to find/figure out this Intel half-speed PCIE lanes and AMD full-speed issue. Does this mean that I can have a USB3.0 drive in my 890GX board going full speed and it doesn't borrow bandwidth from the video at all? Meaning, the NEC chip used for USB3.0 has it's own full 500MB PCIE...

Around the time I installed my X25-M 160GB drive, I started getting "server could not start" errors with Samsung PC Share Manager (I have it in the startup apps folder) and Windows Live Messenger won't startup on boot, by erroring out. If I start the server in PC Share Manager manually it works...

When I play Hulu thru the HDMI output to my TV the audio rarely cuts if I have hardware acceleration for Flash turned off... but when I play a video file through WMP11 to my TV, the audio cuts pretty frequently (it did in Flash videos until I turned off the hardware accel).. anyone else getting...

I'm looking to move my rig into a shuttle, j-series only, that can fit my 5870. I saw the SG41J1 on Newegg but it says it has a 250watt PSU. I don't think that's going to work (ICH7 has no AHCI support). How do Shuttle gamers use video cards like the 5870? Or do the higher end ones support...

What's the best solution at this point for high res in D2? I have the retail D2 & expansion, never registered them with Blizzard for the DL versions. Not sure if I'm going to play on Bnet, but hoping to get a buddy to play through it with me with Hamachi + LAN so I can use the best resolution...

Is this possible? I'd like to move the components I have below (possibly sans PSU and motherboard of course) into a Shuttle style case. I believe those use custom motherboards and PSUs.. and I can't imagine the PSU can push a 5870? Are there any cases like a Shuttle, that CAN fit a 5870? There...

Look about like what the rest of you are getting? 70GB free on this drive.

I have two SSDs already, a 60GB Vertex and a 60GB Solid Series. Interested in more space, and willing to pay the $450 for the 160GB Intel today, but since I already have SSDs for my rigs I think I'd prefer to wait for a sale. Any idea when one of the larger sized SSDs might go on sale? If it can...

http://www.guru3d.com/news/ces-msi-shows-amd-890fx-gd70-mobo/ If this is a wholly AMD chipped motherboard, I might be building a rig to replace my C2Q with this. Black edition CPUs rock, and are just as good for gaming, at least at my res 1920x1200. Looking forward to when I can get one of these?

I use a 360 gamepad thru a wall, about 30ft from my PC to play games (and xpadder to use it as a mouse)... but I wouldn't mind picking up a good bluetooth KB/mouse (in-one) that would also have as good of range. Anything good out there? I've read the PS3 keyboard is one of the best for the money.

I didn't care for DA.. so would I like Mass Effect? Is it the same as DragonAge? What's the game like/about? I hear so much about it, and think I might enjoy it. I like a good RPG, just not one with all the micro involved in DA.

I'm pretty picky when it comes to gaming mice, and there hasn't been something as good IMO as the G3 for a long time.. I went to find this model today and it's off Logitech's website.. great, I hate the G7 and other mice they sell. Goofy heavy bulky contraptions are not my thing or those who...

The system in question is my sig... I just RMA'd the Corsair because it was a lot louder than it is now in 3d games. Now it still makes a squeal but it's nothing like it was before. Also, before I RMA'd the PSU, the SSD would make it squeal under ATTO. Do I have too weak of a PSU? Considering...

Of the Koss, Sennheiser and other brands out there, which ones have the best built-in mic? I've been using the PC150 for years now and it's been reliable for me, but want to buy a headset for a relative who really needs a new set. Might hand down mine to him. :P I was eying the Koss SB40 (I...

I wanted to hear from those who believe DA is not all it's made out to be. Why didn't you like it? Personally, I feel there's nothing new besides some combat elements. The story was pretty generic, one seen a thousand times. Also, the silent protagonist strikes me as slightly lazy. Right...

As we quickly approach 2010 and the start of a new decade, what was your favorite game in the past 10 years? Also list the biggest disappointment for you. Ok now, about the poll. I recognize most of you will be using the OTHER option in the near-worthless poll. I wanted to be fair to the...

I'm interested in what peoples top 5 games for the year are. Only put a game on a list, if you've completed the game. If you do, please note that you haven't beaten it yet. I never think I have a full idea on a game until I've beaten it and can really sum it up properly. I haven't beaten...

One thing that has always kept me from using Hardforum more than I would have otherwise over the years, is the inability to use my favorite email accounts. Today a lot of people use Gmail. I understand the reasoning behind blocking Hotmail and others. But Gmail/Googlemail requires a cell...

I already have a 60GB Vertex in my desktop and 60GB Solid Series in my laptop.. I'd like to get a little more space on my desktop and I think the 160GB G2 would fit the bill. I've read reviews on Newegg about this drive stuttering under heavy loads (mainly enterprise applications) and the user...

This is for gaming, a lot of TF2 and other Valve games. Both prebuilt systems. Not actually for me, I'm helping a friend order a computer, I already have a PC. Help him see the light on which way to go between these choices, thanks! or
