    Corsair 250D + H100i

    Anyone else have this setup? If so... What are you seeing in terms of temperatures? Are you pulling or pushing with the rad fans? Did you remove the TIM included with the H100i? I have everything running stock for now, and I just used the included TIM. The fans are pushing out. I'm...

    so i've only played the game for a few hours online and my xbox has hard-locked twice, i've spawned numerous times without a weapon, the lag is unbearable at times, joining a server with a friend is nearly impossible (let alone being on the same team), and i've encountered a bug where after...

    Half-Life 2 (+ free copy inside)

    Haven't played a good single-player game in a long time. And seeing how I haven't seen a good release lately, I decided to play through Half-Life 2. It's been about 5 years since I played it, and it's still an amazing experience. I played the vanilla version, although it was updated to include...

    Crysis 2 MP

    Is anyone else just not feeling it when playing MP? I'm not sure exactly what's missing, but I'm not really impressed by the multiplayer in Crysis 2. In fact, I was never really impressed with multiplayer any of the Crytek games. Perhaps I should try all of the different modes of play. But...

    ATI 6750M performance?

    Does anyone know how this thing performs? I've been searching and I can't find anything on it. Was this GPU just released? I saw that the desktop version of the 6790 is supposed to be on par with the 5870, if not a little better. So, I'm lost when it comes to the 6750 flavor, especially the...

    AppleCare via eBay

    I did a search and some of you guys have done this. Just wondering how the process works. I assume you get a code via e-mail and then you enter that into the Apple website to apply it? Is doing it over the phone a better option? Also, how can it be so much cheaper on eBay? I'll be getting...

    Leopard, SSD and performance loss

    I just grabbed an Intel 80GB G2 drive for my MBP. I've read in a few places that there's no TRIM support, but that you can do a secure erase of the drive to restore lost performance. However, from what I've read, the Disk Utility won't do the trick. Does anyone have experience with this? If...

    I know it's not possible to run TRIM while in RAID, but how would I go about running TRIM every once in a while? I don't mind re-formatting and taking the drives out of RAID and running TRIM, but I don't see a utility that will allow me to do so without having to install Win7 first. I have 2...

    memory holding me back, what can i do?

    i tried BCLK 200 (x 20) for 4ghz today, with the memory set at 1603MHz, and the system only detected 4GB. it seems as though anything above 1600 (even 1MHz), and my memory freaks out. if i set the memory at 1201MHz, the system detects 6GB, but IntelBurnTest fails. but, that could be because the...

    PCProbe reports 255C SB and 243C NB temps?

    I wanted to monitor my NB/SB temps while playing Crysis Warhead, so I installed PCProbe 2.

It only lasts for a second, and I get a popup and annoying sound, then it...
