I loved Thousand Suns too, I honestly think it's their best album. This one is ok after first listen. I think I just need to give it more time.

So what model (or brand) would you recommend for a two-user household? We'll be getting an (advertised) 10m Mbps connection. I was looking to keep it under $100. I'm way out of the loop on routers (haven't bought one in five years, last one was a Linksys), so any help is appreciated. Thanks

I used the above referral link. Feel free to use mine: http://www.greenmangaming.com/?gmgr=pagesimu I just pre-ordered; I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty stoked for this game :) I remember playing through the first one and loving it, so I hope I feel the same way

Did you play the original? If so, how would they compare?

Well, I wasn't asking cause I was having trouble; I was just curious. I would rather use my CC than my debit card in case there are any problems. I would prefer not to use paypal at all, cause I'm stupid and don't leave money in there all the time :D Why wouldn't there be a problem with using a...

Are you guys having any problems using a US credit card like some people in the last thread were?

I bought it a couple weeks ago; it's a B3 stepping. Why?

Looks like that did the trick! I turned the computer on around 6 am, and got home around 6 pm and it was still on! I've got it overclocked and I'm running stress tests now :) Thanks for all the help

I think that's the trick. I disabled hibernation and left the computer on overnight. I woke up this morning, and it was frozen, but it froze after many hours (I know because the stream game I started downloading when I left the computer on was 75% done). I noticed the mouse and keyboard weren't...

Has that been confirmed, or are you just hoping?

AHCI is enabled, although I was having this problem in IDE mode too. I'll run memtest for 20 hours or so, but I don't think it's going to show anything. I really think it is a problem with intel c-states or a low power mode. I came across some information about turning s3 sleep mode off during...

So I bought a new SSD from amazon, and when I went to reformat the secondary HD, it froze again. The computer seems to be fine when I'm busy working on it, but as soon as I leave it, it freezes. I really think it is a problem with sleep mode or a low-power state mode. Possibly a problem with...

I turned the computer on for a couple hours after work (got home early from work) and after being on for a couple of hours, I realized it froze again. So I guess I need to run those stability tests over night when I get back to see what's going on. The more I think about it, the more I think it...

Alright, thanks for the info. I ran prime and memtest for a couple hours each last night, and I had zero problems with them. I'm going out of town tonight, but when I get back on sunday, I'll start running those tests. I guess I'll bump the thread when I get back. Thanks for all your help

I disabled hot swapping and set my video card back to stock. I also set my CPU voltage to a constant 1.2V and RAM to a constant 1.5V. I'm running a blend test for Prime95 , the highest core temp has been 54 C as shown by real temp. How long should I let it run for to rule out the CPU? And is...

So something else I came across was that the default voltages set by they bios for my CPU and RAM might be off (too low). I came across a thread on here about c state settings and the poster determined that his voltages were too low. I'll check on that when I get home

Ok, so I followed the guide that Danny Bui posted on changing the SATA mode to ACHI from within the registry, and then changed the mode in the BIOS too. I downloaded the Intel Toolbox, and ran a full diagnostic scan on my SSD. The SSD passed the "Read Scan" but it froze when it was running the...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'm at work now, but I'll check them out when I get home. Is it possible that I'm having these problems because I'm running my sata drives in ide mode?

So the Maxtor drive was fine, but the Intel drive is failing the test. Is it possible it's failing the test because it's an SSD, or does that not matter? Does Intel have some sort of tool that can help me determine if the SSD is toast?

Doh, should have read the stick first, sorry about that. So I ran the test on my Intel SSD, and it said it failed. I'm thinking it might be the 2.5 to 3.5 adapter that I put it in; it looked like the sata cable was tweaking it down. I'm going to try to take it out of it and mount it in the...

I just made the jump to Sandy Bridge from my E6750, and everything went smooth except for the formatting of my secondary HD. I've got a 120 GB Intel SSD for my windows installation and other programs, and a 320 GB maxtor for my games. After I got the computer up and running with windows 7, I...

I've got the Corsair A70. When you say heatpipe direct touch, is that some sort of special feature, or are you just talking about a cooler with heatpipes? I haven't installed it yet, but I'm pretty sure the A70 has heatpipes

So what is the best method for applying MX-2 to the new sandy bridge processors? I've looked around online, and the responses seem to be mixed

So for those who have the MSI P67A-GD55, are you happy with your purchase? I was going to hold out till the Asus P8P67 Pros or Deluxes came back in stock, but I'm getting tired of waiting. The MSI P67A-GD65 and MSI P67A-GD55 seem like attractive boards because of the good reviews and because...

Same. I was about to pull the trigger on the PC-K62 for my new build :( Maybe it doesn't activate for another day or two, cause it expires on the 20th?

Not in stock :(

Hey everyone. I picked up my Motorola Atrix on the 26th, and I've been messing around with it and enjoying it very much. My only problem with it so far is that I cannot download attachments via email on it; this applies to both Gmail and Yahoo. In my case, my friend sent me an .mp3 file. I was...

Oops, meant to send a PM

So is the B3 stepping the revision with the new SATA chipset without the problem? IE, if I found that in stock somewhere, I could buy it and complete my build?

True. At least I had the forethought to think that the 6970 would be overkill at 1080p.

Thanks for the reply :) I'm in the process of upgrading to SB; I'm just waiting to hear more about Intel's controller chip problem before I bite the bullet. I probably shouldn't have bought the HD 6950 yet, but I got impatient and wanted it now. C'est la vie ;)

So if I have an E6750 @ 3.6ghz and an HD 6950 running s little over stock on a 1080p monitor, is my processor bottlenecking me?

So I'm in the same upgrade boat as you guys, and having been out of the game so long, I'm clueless as to what would be a good upgrade for my system. Here are the specs (this is from memory, since I'm at work): Intel E6750 @ 3.6 ghz 4 GB DDR2 ram ATI HD4870 512 MB Corsair 620-HX power...

Alright, I'm just going to go for it. I feel like a bad consumer; I haven't bought anything from the Steam sales yet :(

So what does the extended edition give you? I'm confused with all these different versions

Hell yeah, man. You've got have the tarot of cards with the boobs on them; otherwise whats the point? ;) Looks like I'm going to have to pick up another copy of this game, so I can have a copy on my steam account :cool:

So I have the international version of The Witcher which I bought from someone on the FS/FT forums last year; I'm pretty sure it was the international uncensored edition. I got a few hours into the game, but I stopped due to lack of interest/a few bugs. Is this version the same as the uncensored...

Definitely going to pick this up when I get home from work; for $3.99 it's a steal
