Yes, because owning a gun is just as horrible as murder. Numerous guns are purchased every day. There should be laws against it!! :rolleyes: I think this sums up CA's plans for us quite nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wypFgcqHyvc

You must be one of those who think terrorist attack = workplace violence.

Stupid question: how do you know that the card in the second PCIe slot is not recognized? It sounds like you tried both cards, individually, in the second slot and got no video. But when you have both installed, I'm assuming that you were able to boot and somehow determined that the second card...

Why not embed it into a wall?

lol...will it blend? Anyway, it looks like there are no tall components on the underside of the xonar PCB. I'd be cautiously optimistic.

Just a wild guess: driver issue? I'd try using something like ccleaner. Although, I don't think it's a big deal going AMD to AMD or nVidia to nVidia. I would do a google search for something along the lines of "video card random shutdown". Somebody else's grief might give you an idea. That's...

Yeah I would definitely take a 7950 over a 660ti at that price range. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600286767%20600286739&IsNodeId=1&name=Radeon%20HD%207950 Sapphire, Gigabyte, MSI, Asus, etc. You can't really go wrong. The 7950 is the best...

I have successfully run 4 eve clients on my system listed in my sig. Smooth as silk. I have dual monitors (1920x1080 and 1280x1024). I run in windowed mode with settings = high. But 8+ clients is getting up there. If I had more accounts I could try it out for you. It might be worth your while to...

Sheesh you are unlucky. ;) You have isolated it to a single event that causes a 100% failure rate: large file transfers over LAN. Just for kicks, you could try using a dedicated NIC. Maybe there is some issue with the EVGA motherboard network chip not playing nicely with your particular...

Well, I went with a Z77 board because I originally had an ivy 3570K, so pairing with a Z77 board was the logical choice. When I built a new system for my bro, I traded him my 3750K and had him get me a 2500K. He had no interest in OC. Anyway, I don't believe that there is a particular reason...

I just built a new system for my brother and I used this board: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/182-1257562-1619549?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=GIGABYTE+GA-Z77X-UD4H+LGA Z77 works fine with Sandy...I am using an asus p8z77-v pro with a 2500K. That particular board is a bit more...

My hunch would be that it is a stability issue with the OC.

Thanks for the review! Not to be a grammar nazi, but I think I noticed a typo on pg4 under the first chart, Temperature - Stock Speed "...doesn’t make this any lest impressive."

I would think so, but I don't think that you are going to notice a difference. I have a single HD 7950 with dual monitors (23" 1080p and 19" 1280x1024). I run Crysis 3 in windowed mode with high settings and it seems smooth to me. I haven't measured any actual FPS, though.

Yeah, it's got to be something else. Did you do a fresh install of Win7? Hardware-wise, perhaps some critical component on your motherboard is flaking out. At this point, you're going to need to individually test components until you can isolate the problem. If you have another PCIE slot, you...

Yeah, I would turn down the eye candy and/or resolution, update graphics drivers. You could always try FRAPS or something to compare the FPS counter vs. the BO2 one.

Hmmm. Having a "no-name" PSU is a little disconcerting. As far as efficiency, 80 plus is not terrible, but not great. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_Plus I just would be afraid of the thing dying and taking components with it. Then again, I might just be paranoid. I would probably just keep...

I had a GTX260 with an E8500 before I upgraded to my current system. I went for the gigabyte 7950 because I really liked the cooler. If you keep the fan speed down around 30-40%, it can be nearly whisper quiet IMO. Even when I leave the fan speed to auto, I don't think it really ever exceeds...

My 7950 says THANK YOU to the [H] team. :) Now I'm going to go make sure that I have 12.11...

1) I concur: those are most definitely Star Trek style lasers (sustained beam) rather than star wars (short pulses). 2) That girl (Jasmine) is gorgeous. I think I just had a love-at-first-sight moment. I think my heart stopeaspf

So Erik Kain claims that "only place where regular mass shootings occur (at schools, theaters, etc.) is the United States." I don't believe that. I think it is more accurate to say that the only place where shootings are regularly reported and hyped by the media is the US. How many mass murders...

I thought that the Geneva Convention outlawed stuff like this. I actually lasted up until shortly after the "gamer nerd" started talking. A super annoying yet cute girl is one thing.

Samsung didn't copy Apple's stuff - Samsung just made it better. :D

Minimum wage laws. It's not a question of who would take the job. Apple could not legally offer such a job. The only way that Apple could move to the US is if they were to massively raise the cost of their products. A $1000 iphone perhaps? Even then, there are many US laws that would...

Yes. I'm certain that was your mistake.Whenever you remove your heatsink, you re-apply paste, otherwise it's not going to work very well (as you have discovered). I had an E8500 @ 3.16 that would idle in the 30s C.

3570K @ 100.00 x 44 1.21V Vcore, 1.55V PLL This is actually my first ever overclock. I've been interested in doing it for many years, but this is the first time in my life that I could afford to replace hardware if I smoke it. :D 4.4 is the highest that I have attempted. Those 80+ IBT temps...

I think it's safe to say that we're all rooting for you. :) You've certainly piqued my interest.

Dude, just use another mouse. I have the exact same board and have had zero issues of any kind. Your board is not DOA. :rolleyes: Just because the mouse worked on another system does not mean that you don't have some wacky driver issue going on with your new machine. USB hardware is not...

So it's only when gaming that you have this problem? It doesn't do the same thing when running other primarily CPU intensive applications? If that's the case, then perhaps a video driver issue?

I recently put together an Asus P8Z77-V Pro + 3570K and have had no issues. I have not tried any overclocking yet. I'm not really sure what there is to be gained from the Intel NIC over the Realtek. So long as it works, that's all I really care about. I've had no issues, even using a super...

To me, that sounds like you are missing some sort of chipset / controller driver. I would go download driver files from Asus and make sure that everything got taken care of. I suppose it is possible that the "PCI communications device" might be your PCI / PCI-e bus controller. I could imagine...

Now, if that button were in an airplane cockpit, I might be worried. :D

Yikes! I thought 1.5V would kill an Ivy...

Smartphone....penetration? What?

Ah, right. My bad. Thanks for the clarification.

I don't believe so (at least not Haswell - might be something prior to Haswell). I've heard that Haswell (due about this time next year) will be socket LGA 1150, which is a completely new socket...

If your card has two DVI ports, you should be able to just use a pair of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cabling4Less-DVI-VGA-HD15-Adaptor/dp/B000FII810/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1336011292&sr=1-1 I'm assuming that your monitors came with VGA cables, so you just plug the cable into...

Wow, yeah that's really super hot. That's getting really close to the boiling point of water - play games and make tea! :p Is the card running at stock core / memory frequency? When playing around in precision x did you accidentally click something that cranked up the clock rate? Even so, it...

I googled around a bit and I found this: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/aspnet_answers/WindowsXPsetup_deployment/Apr2006/post26584160.asp which leads me to believe that it is in fact a ram issue. Use a different stick if you can for testing. If you don't have another stick, see if you can get...

I'm assuming that your system is the one in your sig, so my best guess would be drivers. Nice rig btw ;)
