I have no idea if this is serious or not... :confused: But I recently got a message from steam someone is trying to access my steam account from an address is Russia. :mad: Obviously... since I am sitting here in California it does not look right. The message gave me a steam guard code to...

Ok... Google was completely not my friend on this! I recently got in on the 48" monitor goodness that is the new samsungs. As many people found, it would be the perfect size if I could mount it flush with my desk. It would also be great to ditch the stand, as it gives me about 6 inches...

Hello [H]ard OCers. Here is a good question to mess with your minds! :confused: I love the new idea of adding high end cooling directly to the GPU die. I recently picked up two kraken g10 coolers. My intent is to mod a danger den TDX block to cool my two gtx 980s. FYI here is the block...

So first the specs of my brand new rig :D Asus maximus VI formula 4770k Corsair ax1200i PSU 4x8 gigs corsair dominator 1866 ram Corsair h100i (I would normally NEVER run a AIO just waiting for parts for custom loop) :( GTX 780 reference Corsair 760t case 256 gb m550 ssd Windows 8.1...

So this is not too complex... but still I cannot find a decent answer. I used a physical copy I bought in store to install 8.1 (hate the UI, but it is still more efficient than 7...) with the option to install through USB media. You go online enter your product key and it downloads a file...

Been out of loop (get it) :D for a long time when it comes to watercooling. I have always built my own setups. I am coming from a black ice rad on a TDX cpu block with a d5 pump. Building a new rig... and I think it is probably time to retire the TDX. I had one NOT SIMPLE AT ALL...

So... I recently embarked on a new build. I have not upgraded since a 275gtx and q9450 :D I am going to be watercooling. I am hoping to fit two 240mm rads in the case. Or on the case as I have with my antec 900 I have now. I love how quiet yet air moving the 200mm fans seem to be. I...

Title says it all. I got these cards ages ago... and just never got around to selling them. I am in the silicon valley, and got them off a hardware tester from google here on hardforum. Too good a deal to pass up. Both were used by him for a few hours to test at Google HQ. I never...

Well gents.... Going to fill ya in on my situation. Appreciate the input of the [H]ard gurus! I will soon be upgrading from what has been perhaps my longest stint without upgrading my system. I am coming form a heavily overclocked q9450 :eek: It has been serving me rock solid for years...

So from what little I can find on google, and from my own personal experience... It seems that adaptive vsync is not available for mobile GPUs.... Now before someone says it is because of mobile hardware... This is strictly a software issue. Adaptive vsync has nothing to do with hardware. So...

I have two HIS 5970s for sale. I bought them off a member here at hard that works and google and scored em. Sadly they did not fit my case, and I have been sitting on em FOREVER! So... Selling em 450 OBO!!! (each not the pair!!! lol) Motivated to sell so shoot me offers... or to ebay...

Title says it all... I got two 5970s a while back, and only one fit in the case... sad thing is I never even finished the build with one... So I have one for sale, and if someone really wants it maybe two... They also come with EK waterblocks and full cover backplates! Both...

Title says it all... This may sound REALLY random but I found this for 7 dollars cheaper then the sale at Newegg at Bed Bath and Beyond.... It was on sale (from 39.99) to 19.99... Then clearance for 50% off... total 9.99 out the door (well plus tax) :rolleyes: And "freest" shipping...

All right here we go! This is a tough challenge! Winner gets a beer on me (if of legal drinking age and lives in/visits the bay area) :D :cool: Ok here is the situation. Ages ago I had a problem dual booting. So I used a program called Vista loader. Since it fixed my issue I had...

Well... moving, new desk, new room, and sharing with the little lady now, so I need to make room for two monitors! Sad to see her go... Great monitor, if you are looking at this, then you know what it is. Selling my 37w3 (37" westinghouse monitor) and no I really don't want to ship, unless...

Doing a REALLY cheap build to help the GF out who has been out of work for a while :( found some great deals on here... and frankinsteined a rig together for her :D Last think I need is a socket 775 (for a core 2 duo) Heatsink/fan. Stock intel is fine for her... its only for web...

Hey my fellow [H]ers! Well... after canibalizing a few comps for parts... I need to put one back together for the GF... Only think I am short is my old e6300 which I sold ages ago... I am just looking for something cheap!!! It is going into an old ECS mother board with BUILT IN...

I am thinking of getting one of these from costco as they dont have the good old hanns G any longer... Does anyone have good data or reviews on the monitor? Or a comparison to the hanns G? I am looking at the two... its weird... the samsung has a "crisper" look... but the hanns G...

Hey Guys, If you check the other thread you will see some details. Currently Geeks.com has the westinghouse 37w3 on sale which is a refurb. You cannot get them new anymore : ( I really wanted one of these, but the high shipping (110-120) tax, and CA-recycling fees totally killed...

Just got a gift of a 275 gtx : ) Was wondering what the best program is for OCing it? And what is the normal OC range... Also was wondering what the normal temp is for them OCed on load... Will be in the near future.... Should be fun! Excited to play with it :D

So the title says it all.... I have been around long enough to know games are the prefered method now... but there are SOO many variables in modern games.... I have SF4 that has a built in benchmark... but other than that I mostly play L4D or TF2.... sometimes WCIII I was wondering...

Hi guys.... Well I got another thread going but it diverged.... Here is the situation. Broken raid 1 array, and the old disk still sees the windows data so it wont let me rebuild to the healthy disk. So people are telling me it is the MBR and I should use a total drive nuke...

So I hope this is a really simple problem... heres hoping.... I had a horror story with a previous array so I am VERY cautious to rebuild... So here is how it happend.... So I had a perfectly fine raid 1 array with 2x2tb WD green drives. Recently I had a problem with a s3 resume...

Hey guys, just a really quick question... I have a Danger Den cooling kit, and it comes with a liang D5... I am running it in a cooler master mystique I got on a great deal. Only problem is the PCI slots go all the way to the bottom of the case leaving no room on the bottom where I would...

Well, I am starting on a new build so parting out one of the best systems I have EVER owned :cool: She was a beaute but its time to let her go... I will be selling the fasted Q9450 ever on hard... If you check the old registry you will notice I had the number 2 official spot...

OK.... I have been around the forum for a while... but I still find myself asking lame noob questions from time to time... :( And YES I used the search function, but just wanted to make sure I was not missinformed :D HERE IT GOES!!! It is my understanding that pure water is the...

Hey everyone, All right here is the great question... Is the 1.4 Vcore limit a myth? I see many people saying this on both this forum and other. Yet I see the best overclocks well over 1.4 vcore... So it begs the questions to me. I know intel states that 1.38vcore (seems to be some...

All right... No idea how to fix this one, and I cannot seem to find anything on the internet. A few days ago windows offered an automatic update for windows search 4 which I went ahead and installed. No for some reason ALL search has been disabled in vista. BTW I am running vista 64...

Aight Folks... Boys and Girls, Ladies and gents.... Here it is. I got a q9450 like everyone else... Seems I am locked to 3.6.... I did get it stable for a while at 3.62 but the extra voltage was not worth it. I have my system watercooled with a MC-TDX, BI2 rad, D5. I need to...

Aight really simple question. Costco offers 2 28" lcds... From what I have read they are both TN panels... Currently I have a coupon so the viewsonic (Model VX2835wm) and the HannsG (Model HG-281DPB/236036) are the same price, 499. Well... Is there any reason to get one...

Hey, So recently windows was giving me a warning my HDD is crashing. So I installed and ran the WD diagnostic tool. It gave me the following as the only error. Does anyone know if this is serious? I am only 1 over the threshold.... Does anyone know a way to fix it? Or...
