Idea: Remove GPU fan and shroud, leave exposed heatsink to be cooled by 2 x120MM 1350RPM Gentle Typhoons I'll preface this by saying that I have an NCase M1 so the video card is right in front of these bottom mounted fans. I got a 7870 PCS+ that was watercooled but after taking it off for...

anyone else still waiting for their M1 res?

GAH!!! I didn't know you couldn't mount the h220 rad with 2 2.5 drives mounted on the front... >:(

Pre-order for a small run.

This is very interesting. The largest bottleneck I've been told has been the CPU so I might reconsider purchasing a new MOBO/RAM/CPU combo to compliment a new GPU. (probably new psu as well)

Now my current specs are as follows. CPU: Q6600 GPU: 1 x 8800GTS 640 RAM: 4GB DDR2 HDD: 150GB WD Raptor PSU: Corsair HX620 Now I realize I have an old system, I just want to extend the life of this thing just for a little while longer. I haven't needed to use my comp for games in a while now...

No budget. I play bf3, hitman absolution, skyrim, fc3 and whatever interesting might come outs.

Been ages since I upgraded my rig. What GPU would be best for a Q6600 for 1920x1200 res? I got a 880GTS 640 now. (SUPER OLD!)

+ 9000

Man I finally profiled you. I've just started to go back to school for psychology and OH MAN... HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! Dude, you've made my day!!! I thought people like you only existed in textbooks!

You ever watch the discovery channel? Nearly every show that talks about animal behaviour shows animals fighting each other to protect what they cherish and value. Now just because they win the first round, it doesn't mean they've won forever, so they keep fighting and become increasingly...

When I read your comment, I just pictured a stereotypical quiet and passive IT Manager who eventually goes crazy because his wife/girlfriend cheats and steps all over him. There's no immaturity, the husband's just being a man. ;)

So... unfashionable...

He said is it okay to steal food if the food is too expensive. You got the analogy wrong.

the laws in America baffle me

Hmmm... interesting. Can you elaborate?

ALRIGHT BITCHES LET'S JUDGE http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/left-4-dead-2-multiplayer/319543 I just found it, hard to say its a mod seeing as how L4D2 just got announced.

Kid down the hall from me had the same problem, and I had to wipe his HD too. I guess your boss and the kid I know have the same amount of computer knowledge ;)

That's the thing, I have 3 other internal HDD's I store my movies, documents and other junk on. The main drive has nothing on it except programs and games, and thats taking a lot of space. I'll be getting more programs soon as I have to learn a little more for my job and general interest, like...

Right now I have a 150 Raptor but its not enough space with my games and Adobe CS4. It wasn't too big of a problem because I mainly work on my MBP but I want to migrate some of my work to my pc just for kicks. Since I need more storage I was wondering if I should get another 150 Raptor and...

Correct up to a certain point. A Graphic Designer DOES NOT want to have to justify PIXELS. To us it makes absolutely no sense, time could be better spent on other projects. Google is ridiculous.

Being a graphic designer I'll tell you, having to justify every single little design detail to a bunch of programming "geeks" THAN having to prove it, hurts our egos, and designers have the LARGEST egos around.

The service Sony offers for free, the money has to come from somewhere. The user isn't being charged a dime to play their games online, however, a service like this that does not require any additional money from the user, it still needs to come from other sources. As we should all be aware...

On OSX, can't access Windows Live Hotmail. Other than that, a LOT faster than Safari 3.

Well, the video stutter happened while using VLC for a movie, I think it has something to do with my raptor, cause I hear that bad boy going nuts when it chugs. Now the question, is that even possible? The movies are on another HDD, and the programs are on the raptor.

hmm I never considered that as a problem. Let me see if there are things I could do to avoid using ffdshow.

Okay 1/ Tried all the HDD tests, everything is good. 2/ Tried all scanning softwares, everything is good 3/ Tuned up and down the Nvidia video fine tuning control things (didn't do anything) I think there are 3 things I have left to try 1/ Intel Matrix Manager (?) 2/ Re-install codec...

I'm going to try the malware and antivirus scans tonight to see what comes up. And the all the files play in WMP... but I'll try it in VLC to see. Also, I can hear the HDD play around when the video finally catches up. Is there anything that is free that does thorough scans of HDD for...

Vista install is only about 3 months old, don't do anything on it except videos, video games and... thats it. I do all my work on my MBP. This problem kinda just surfaced a month ago. No raid set up, just straight to the sata ports on the board. The AV is turned off when I tried this...

My main system specs are in the sig. What I do have are 2 WD6400AAKS HDD with TONS of movies and tv shows on there. I use shark007's codec pack, http://shark007.net/, for a while now and haven't seen problems really except this... From time to time, and this doesn't happen every time, I...

The arguments in forums are jokes. SH5 is the worst in my opinion... I loved SH1-4. How could they ruin this awesome series...

I did this, I have a BCless PS3 and I bought a slim PS2 with Lego Batman. I gotta say I don't regret it, although I do wonder what MGS2-3 would look like upscaled...

You have to do this. 1/ Install bootcamp 2.0 on OSX's side. 2/ Use assistant with XP SP2 3/ Update bootcamp on windows side to 2.1 4/ Update to SP3 Only way to get it to work. EDIT: looks like I already see someone posted the same stuff I did. =) Well just to rehash to the lazies who...

I have the same monitor, the component aspect of this monitor... LORD have mercy its terrible.

Don't get me started on coffee... after having a part-time job at Starbucks to pay for University... I want to strangle coffee drinkers. I too wish my job was only 20 hours a week... right now I average 60 - 70 hours a week working...

And you... I don't know what to say to you.

I think this is what my buddy is addicted to, the gear. He keeps telling me how he loves the grind and something about being a guild master or leader or something... I don't mind the game too much, but I think it's mainly the art style and certain design choices I don't enjoy, PLUS the fact...

I don't get the hype with this game. I tried this game because my buddy asked me to, and I couldn't for the life of me get into this game... I tried for over a month. I mean I like large scale games, and I like RPG type elements like leveling and what not but I just don't get it... What is this...

I would agree that it seems like a hardware issue.

I feel your pain, the Apple Store reps are complete morons. You'll probably get a shiny new Aluminum Macbook in the mail. ;)
