    Hard Drive Falling Out

    So the gf's new comp's OS runs on a SSD, and has a WD 1TB Black for storage/games. She's been telling me that her comp is BSODing during Diablo 3 (installed on D:\) Initially I thought my overclocking to 4.2GHz @ 1.25V wasn't good, even though it was hardly pushing a 4670K and it had very...

    New Build for the GF - Suggestions

    So my gf's comp currently uses a GTX 260. The rest of her current comp is about 3-4 years old, so it's time to upgrade. She still uses 2x 1650x1050 monitors from years ago. If anything, those will get upgraded to 1080p. Have no interest in upping to 1440p tier monitors as $ is tight for her...

    Surface Pro or wait for Surface Book

    http://www.geek.com/microsoft/microsoft-hints-at-new-surface-sizes-1539834/ Just wondering on people's thoughts about this. As we know, Surface Pro is a pretty good laptop/tablet replacement. Actually being powerful enough to run everyday apps and even actual light/moderate gaming. However, the...

    Just swapped over from AMD

    I must say... I am really digging nVidia. I didn't really have many issues with my XFX 6870 for the 2-3 years of ownership, but recently I found a good deal on a LED TV and decided to take the plunge on a new video card; the EVGA GTX 670 FTW as nVidia can power 4 displays at once. I've already...

    Quad Monitor

    Just to get some opinion on a future build I am contemplating. My goal is to run 3 monitors + TV. I don't necessarily care for gaming on 3 screens, but if I could, it be nice. I generally run stuff on 2 monitors + game on center one. So enough of the background, this is what I was thinking...

    1st iPhone - How will I like it?

    Just curious here. I've only had 1 smart phone and it is the Google Nexus S. It's an Android and it came out in December 2010, and I picked it up on release date. Granted it is pretty old, single core @ 1GHz (oc'd to 1.2GHz) and ~ 512MB ram (380 usable), it's pretty sluggish till this day. Also...

    3x 2560x1440 Setup - What Card to Buy?

    I plan on swapping over to 3x 2560x1440 27" monitors sometime this winter. My current GFX card is the AMD 6870, bought back in 2010 Fall, and I'm running on an i7 870 (if it matters). It's been handling pretty well for what I play, which is Diablo 3, SC2, the occasional FPS games (Killing Floor...

    Why Some Still Use Last Gen?

    Just curious, was surfing Newegg and reading some reviews on the 1366 990 Extreme. There are still people buying them today even though Sandy/Ivybridge has been out for some time. Why do some still fork over a grand for a last gen processor?

    Switching to nVidia - I want to keep 3 monitor setup

    I am thinking about changing over to a GTX 560 Ti OC or GTX 570. I'm currently using a XFX 6870 and it powers my 3 monitors off that 1 card. My motherboard only has 1 PCIe 2.0 however. My current setup is 2 28" and a 21.6". Is it possible to do this with 1 nVidia card? Or will I need a 2nd...

    I'm about to get another 8GB 1600 G.Skill Ripjaws for my i7 870. Will It be likely I run into issues with 4x4GB (16GB) of ram? Currently i'm running 9-9-9-24 1T @ 1.6V. CPU @ 169x22 = 3.718GHz. Ram is basically at 169x5 ~ 845 per stick => 1690. Should I change any settings? I want to stay...
