I found a MSI 760 for $250 a few blocks from my house. Should I just go for it? It's the Twin Frozr gaming 2gb one. Don't really have much more money for the card. Or should I just wait? I will try to get me Titanfall now. I really like how that game looks.

I'll be gaming on 1080p. I don't have much money and I'm looking to get a card under $275. Between the 7870 and the R9 270/270x, which is better? Is there anything else out there that I'll be able to get within/below the price range? Game I'll be playing is Hearthstone, WoW, LoL and might...

I looked at that option also. I just spoke to my boss about that also. I have a dlink dir825. I believe it has the qos options. Don't know how good it works. But yes. I'm going with the seperate commercial line. Fortunately my boss mentioned that I get a discount from Comcast. $10. So...

Nate, you're actually right man. I do see where everyone is going but my job is a bit strict also. And I do apologize if I wasn't specific. I was on company time and in a meeting so I tried to get as much info in here as possible. They don't want me on wireless, no other PCs on while working...

I work from home now and I have cable internet services. It's 25 up 5 down residential. Now I have 3 PCs. 1 of them the one I work off of uses Voip for work. The other two don't. Now my employer says that the other PCs can't be on because it will mess with the Voip services. I kind of know that...

Hey guys. Don't know if I'm posting this in the right section but I bought the iPhone 5c and wanted to know if there is an app that allows me to control my PC. Since I have xbmc I have the remote for that but getting up to turn the PC off or open stuff up is a pain.

The storage makes sense but I usually swap out tunes on my phones. Never more than two or three CDs. I do have some micro sd adapters. But that's not a make or break deal for me. Quality of pictures, video and music I guess is more important. I had a original galaxy s and did enjoy android...

thanks for the info. yes, it's for emergency only when i'm out and about. i won't be using it to chat on the phone or surf the web. maybe the occasional logging on to facebook or instagram. but other than that i will be on a network most of the time since i work from home. i'm more...

Quick suggestion on what's available to me. iphone 5c or htc one mini. will only be web surfing when connected to a network. love to take pictures and video. only for texting. saw them both in person and i like the feel of the htc one mini but the 5c in green is also nice.

How good is CyperPower compared to APC? I know where I worked at only used the APC UPS. And sorry to ask, but what exactly is the Pure Sine Wave capability good for?

To be honest, I'd hate to be on the line with a customer and tell them I'd have to hurry the call up because my power went out. I'd like to finish the call. Don't know how realistic that sounds. If it could last a few minutes that would be great. As for the ratings, the numbers I posted are...

Hey guys. I honestly don't know what I need or how to figure out what ups is best for me. I'm about to start working from home but need one. Hopefully I have enough info for you guys. I'm basically going to need it for my PC, monitor and modem. I have a BenQ GW2750 monitor. The modem is a arris...

Cool man. Greatly appreciate the response. It's exactly what I was looking for. :D Edit. Can you recommend a nice tuner that won't break the wallet?

10-4 thanks. Are Roku ok to talk about or no? Are those legit pieces of equipment?

Hey all. Don't know if it's possible or not but I'm totally new to HTPCs and what can or can't be done. My question is, if there is a way to watch cable TV on your PC without cable services. I'm more interested in internet and maybe phone services from my provider and in a move to cut down on...

Here's mine. Darn, you all make mine look very simple and boring. :P

Ok. Thanks guys. I'll try that out.

Hope this is in the right section. I have an older PC that the wife uses. The issue with it is that you can power it on and it stays on. It goes through the whole Windows loading but when that's done it's just a blank black screen with the mouse pointer on. It doesn't show the desktop at...

Hey all. Quick question. But first my setup. CPU - Intel i5 3570k MOBO - Asus P8Z77-V RAM - Kingston 8GB 1600mhz 2x4GB SSD - OCZ Vertex 4 128GB PSU - Corsair HX750 CPU COOLING - Corsair 2xSP120 quiet fans and 2xAF120 quiet fans. GPU - MSI R6850 OC 1gb MONITOR - BenQ GW2750 1920x1080...

Only issue I've had is the micro double click. I've cleaned it and used contact spray and nothing. The double clicking is there. For now I'm still using it and I've thought about going with the G600. Love the Naga when it works though. Only lasted about a year and change.

do you have a pic of the top part?

I don't have a stock cooler. So far 48 hours and not one lock up. Folding the whole time and gaming at the same time. Still kind of scared of it locking up on me. I'll keep Folding till it does. If it does then I'll RMA it and send Intel a thank you note with it. I really want to get the i7...

I installed Windows 7 and left the pc running all night. No issues so far. I'm going to leave it folding for the rest of the day. Hope it doesn't freeze up. But my temps are the same. I don't break 60c at full load. I'm not cutting into any CPU especially for the amount I paid for it. So we can...

you know, you make sense. my temperatures are at most 52c while folding at 100%. I have a Cooler Master V6 Gt with both 120mm fans. I run at stock clocks and I believe the only thing I'm using different is the XMP profile for my Hyper X ram. I did want to transfer over my Windows 7 copy to...

how is the rma process. i know i cant take the thing back to the store. do i just call intel up and let them have a piece of my mind before sending it off to them?

Bah. God damn. Not an option. Wife will cut my freaking balls off if I do. With my CM cooler I'm at full load @ 50-52c at most. God. Now I see why it freezes. Do you think if I'm using it without OCing the darn thing I'd still have that problem? Man, now I don't want to touch the bios and I...

Ouch. Any remedies? I don't want to say it sucks since I shelled out the cash for it.

Hi there. I'm a proud new owner of a 3570k. Here's the problem. I use this rig for Folding@Home. Problem is that after a while the rig freezes. I can't alt control delete out. Hard Reset. Well. 3570k P8Z77-V Pro Corsair GS600 Hyper X 1600mhz 8GB Vertex 4 That's my current setup...

I'm not really to worried about gaming on it. That wasn't my main goal really to get the 3570k. I got it mainly for FAH. I have it as a Ubuntu rig also. Until Steam gets it going with Linux, then I'll slap on the HD 6850 I have and I'll do some gaming on it. But it's not for that.

Everything is up and running nicely. I'm turning in WU like I should. At least I think I should. Temperature are around 50-56c on max load. My question is my FAH setup. I see that I'm getting around 13-18k on the 3570k. I thought I'd get more. I have the settings all on default. Should I change...

Well, I got up at 5am and just said to hell with it. I transferred over the 3570k into my case and took the 555BE out. I have my V6GT CM cooler on it now and it's at 56c %100 load. Of course, that's on 1 fan only. I have to go get the 2nd one. So, I guess those are now acceptable temps. Should...

i just need to get my cooler so i can OC now. my stock cooler has me at 80c at the moment.

Hi all. I just got me a 3570k and it's on stock speeds and fan. I'm folding right now and for the most part of the day it's been hovering around 80c full load. Is this ok? I will be getting a cooler for it but now I'm broke. Oh, the rig is not in a case. It's on the mobo box.

well, i had some extra money today and i got me a 3570k and p8z77-v board. this will most likely be my new gaming rig till i get my i7. for now i have it folding while i game on my phenom 555be. 3570k is on ubuntu. it's butt naked right now. no case. just the mobo box. lol.

Mojo also. I'll include it but beer is so awesome. They have the 2500k for $180 at my local store with a coupon. Is the 2500k a good folder?

Cool. The extra couple of $$$ will go towards the beer. Need beer when building PC. That's a must. Thanks all for the info and recommendation. I'll be working on it soon.

Alright. So I decided on either the 2600k or 2700k depending on who's on sale when I get it. Stupid question. I only have money for the board and cpu as I already have a DVD drive, RAM and a PSU. I don't want to use a case because I have no extra cash for it. What can I mount the MOBO on without...

How do you guys choose those? I have a 6850

How do you guys think this will work with F@H? Would the 660ti be better than the HD7xxxx for folding?

Nathan p, no problem. I'm at work anyways so I'm just dropping by ever so often. 550w corsair psu is what I have. I might keep the system without a case for the time being so I'm not rushing to get one. I'm trying to keep it as cheap as possible also. 2600k sounds good. Asrock mobo looks...
