Thanks for all the advice guys. Not to flout all your comments but I just said what the hell and went with the 850hx because people's noise comments about the pcpc750 were bothering me. Looked at the 750hx and the 850 was only another $30 so I just went for it. I dont mind spending money for...
Was going to get the 750 but my friend recommended the 850 as he says its 'the best' at the moment. Problem is the 850 is double the price of the 750. Quiet components are important to me but he mentioned I probably wouldnt hear either of these PSUs over the videocard fan noise. I'm just a...
I'm happy with mine. Initially being able to see pixels kind of annoyed me and it took a day or 2 to adjust to the new posture/seating position I have to use for this to be comfortable, but now I sit down in front of it and it seems totally normal. Nice bonus is that I can now be in bed and...
Got the call yesterday confirming a delivery time and a call today telling me that it had been damaged and asking for a verbal receipt declination. Sucks that I'll probably have to wait another week at least to get it but props to YRC shipping for not trying to give me a damaged item.
Yea I'm in the same boat, luckily I have no reason to buy till around march or april so hopefully bios issues will be smoothed out more by that time and make the decision a little easier.
More current owners please post your OCing experiences, I want to go with this board over the asus but if there are going to be OCing issues across the board I'm willing to buy the ugly asus board for better performance. Convince us that evga is a legit choice.
I'm considering the PI Blacks too but that tallboy heatsink makes me nervous. Any idea if a TRUE or V8 will clear memory this tall on a evga x58 with all slots full?
Pretty sure its mostly a driver issue. I remember reading some reviews of older quadro cards and that was the case though they can still handle games ok. I'm interested to know if anyones had hands on experience with this though.
I'm right there with you. I really cant understand peoples' obsession with high AA settings. I game at 19x12 on a 24 as well and unless I stand still and really concentrate on whats on the screen I dont notice any significant change with AA enabled or disabled and I SURE as hell dont notice it...
Thanks for this. Initially I was going to go with the evga but after reading the anand roundup and seeing evga doesnt support 1600 its between the gigabyte and asus. I really wanted to go with the gigabyte but the memory/hsf interference issue is really turning me off. Probably end up going with...
Yea I was initially pretty excited about this and I still really like the case, it looks great, but Id rather not pay extra for the lame hsf and psu. I'll stick with the vanilla 1000.
For those who mentioned it I'm pretty sure I read a while ago that these guys tried to get valve to help with the project or endorse it in some way but they were turned down so dunno what their chances of being hired are. I've been looking forward to playing this for a long time but thats part...
If you want to be anyone in an mmo you, more often than not, have to dedicate serious time, and that sometimes comes in long straights. How this makes you a bad person is far beyond my understanding, though I've never seen a real argument to that effect.
You can actually wear 2, headset around your neck and headphones on your ears. I've never heard a desktop mic that came anywhere close to the worst headset mic.
