Hi Kyle Long time bud. All these years this is my first site to look at every night after work. I respect you and your integrity over the years. I voted no for many reasons. 1. It costs to have morals, conscience and integrity. The truth these days is expensive. 2. I've followed the dark...

Pretty cool ha! Took less time to download and implement a zero telemetry Win 10 OS then to bitch about it LOL.

Well that is something, you would expect ads for a free OS but a purchased OS. WOW. I can not tell you if I ever had ads in file explorer as mentioned I made the changes the minute I upgraded. From loading the OS to loading anti-beacon. When the builder edition came out I had to re-optimize...

Some might not know this but you can install Win 10 as a local machine. (not tied to a Microsoft account). Make it local and some of the advertising goes away. Another sure fire way to loose all of Microsoft advertising and telemetry is to use anti-beacon from spybot. It is a very small...

You know just because I do not post often does not mean that I am not an avid [H] follower and reader. The fact of the matter is that as a high end system builder I view the [H] everyday and seek information form this site. You might consider your comments the next time you post...

The MSI 980 Gaming GPU is a great card. I've been putting the card through its paces over the last few weeks and I am happy with this card. One thing though I have EVGA Precision X and have applied the very same OC that is in the Hardocp review. I am unable to get the card to OC at the...

Thanks I was wondering about that. I found some back plates and www.frozencpu.com but like the one you are talking about it is for the reference design.

Does anyone know where I can get a back plate for the MSI GTX Gaming 980? I purchased it last night so no turning back LOL. My MSI 770 lightning's X2 SLI had back plates and they even sagged some. I shortened my power cables and wire tied them together to give them support. I can not imagine a...

:DI think I am going to go with the MSI 980. Currently I run the MSI 770 lightening's in SLI and had a great experience out of the box with both cards. Your input Is valued thanks so much.

I am ready to pull the trigger on a new GTX 980. Reading the reviews both here and other sites I am still wondering which is the better card. 1. MSI Gaming 980 or 2. ASUS Strix DC02 980. It looks like the MSI has a slightly better overclock and is currently the same price as the ASUS...

My first motherboard as an enthusiast was the Abit IC7-Max. in 2005. My first Asus motherboard in 2006 was the A8N SLI 32 with a AMD FX60 then later the FX62. In 2012 the P8Z77-LGA. I currently run that set up with a I-7 3770K with a everyday OC of 4.5 on H20. In 2006 I started a side...

The 344.75 driver work best for Far Cry 4 on my MSI 770 Lightning SLI set up. The new and current driver causes the game to hard crash my system when I enter caves or the Shangri la missions. I re-loaded the 344.75 and played through this weekend with no issue. Thinking about this issue and...

All is fine and good with a free patch apology. Since the last patch I can not even play the game. $89.00 down the drain for a broken game. It is really a shame because the story line is pretty good. So I signed the dotted line a received yet another broken game Far Cry4. Yes it plays and...

Replace my MSI 770 Lightning.

Hi all I have three ASUS vg248 monitors set up in surround. Using two MSI 770 Lightning's in SLI. I love the gaming aspect of this set up but have a few cons. 1. Opening apps like word or power point and expanding to full screen is not what I would want to see meaning it expands to...

Made corrections thanks

Hey all This is my first crack at multiple displays. I know its about time! so here comes the newbie question of the day. I have purchased 3 ASUS VG248QE monitors. My set up is: ASUS P8-Z77 MOBO Intel 3770K 4.5 OC Water cooled CPU X2 OCZ SSD Vectors in RAID 0 WD Raptor for...

Hi Raja Thank you for getting back with me on this. I will try the UEFI suggestions you mentioned. For now I have the printer set to shut down (Automatic) @ 2 hours of use. This lets me do a fresh boot in the AM without the wait time.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Hi all it has been awhile since I visited the forums. Just wanted to say that my new card came in and it works flawlessly. In fact bought another one for SLI. I can not express how good they work. I have a consistent overclock in game at 1256 on both cards.

Hey guys it has been awhile since I have visited the forums. I wanted to update you on the photo shop build. she has been thrilled with the build and loves the response to photo shop and light room. Had a glitch with the C drive that went off line but we got that one corrected. Anyway thanks...

Awesome thanks so very much for your time in putting this list of hardware together. I will pass it on to Destry (my friend) and get started. Awesome awesome Thanks again.

"1) Does she prefer multiple monitors (e.g. two 23" monitors with a 1920x1200 resolution) or one larger monitor (a 27" or a 30" monitor with a 2560x1600 resolution)?" No she has limited work space so a 24" is the limit. I am looking at the ASUS model. ASUS ProArt Series PA246Q Black...

Hey guys thanks so very much for the help. I will look into setting up a swap disk. If you have any links to how to set them up that would be awesome. So Setting up all software and OS one the SSD then set up two WD black 2TB HD then a smaller SSD for a swap disc. How big/small. I will...

I am beginning to think we are not on the same page I am not seeking deals but information. Example if I wanted to know what is the best GPU for gaming. answer would be presently a Titan, 780 or 770. This gives me a direction to do research. I am asking the same for a Photoshop rig. Best CPU...

Hi and thanks for directing me to the sticky. She does Some weddings and new birth experiences. Hope that makes since. She also blows up picture to make them prints for picture art. I will ask her Monday what main programs she runs. Photoshop was mentioned yesterday so I am guessing it is...

Hi all I have been approached to build a PC for a friend of mine. She will be mainly working with photoshop and artwork. She does photography as a small business on the side, more of a hobby. I would like to do a good job for her and with it not being a gaming rig I am a little uneasy weather...

Tweaker Paradise. Favorites notes,

Hi all and thank you for the quick response. I RMA'd the card this morning. I am now running on a set of old GTX 7900 till the RMA process is complete. I found it to be the card when I uninstalled it along with the driver and installed a set of old but trusty XFX 7900's in SLI and loaded the...

Updated the bios for the ASUS P8Z77-V MOBO to 2003. Unloaded spyder pro color management. Went to MSI site and downloaded 306-08 driver their suggested driver and went to load now it says no recognized video card LOL. Tried a fresh download of 320-18 off Nvidia and get the same result. Blue...

Yes I have tried 320-18 qnd 320-08 and they both cause a blue screen on start up after I load the driver. Everything in the PC is a 7 months old. So I do not suspect anything hardware related but this card or the driver. Again my 670 works just fine on the PC. The OCZ 750 watt modular...

Hi all I am hoping this is not an isolated case and someone can point me in the right direction. Today I just received a MSI 770 lighting video card. This is my specs for those who need to know. ASUS Z77 LGA MOBO Intel 3770 K OC 4.2 Corsair 16gb 1866 RAM WD raptor 600GB Corsair H100...

Oh almost forgot OS Vista Business 64-Bit

Hey folks. I have a build coming up that requires SLI. So in finding a MOBO that will work I noticed the reviews and warnings on the 680i chipset. I've been through the forum posts. I am confused though it seems most of the issues were in late 2006. Then a BIOS came about that seemed to...
