Had to sell my old 3770k system for rent money last year. Looking to replace and upgrade. I'm a bit salty about getting $485 for what would be worth $700 on here so I'd like to get the best thing possible to help me forget lol.
I was thinking something along the lines of this build.
PC...
I have searched for the past few hours trying to find some benchmarks of a 5820k @ 4.5ghz against a 4790k. I understand the 4790k has better single core performance than the 5820k however thats with the 5820k at stock clocks and it most chips can overclock to 4.5ghz.
I am doing a new gaming...
I ordered a Seasonic M12II from eBay. It was shipped with out the cables. I contacted him and he said he would see if the could find them. This was on Thursday and I responded saying if he doesn't find them I will file a claim as they are not an accessory and he has not responded since them...
Will trade for Zowie EC2
If not $42 shipped. I have the original weights, weight box, cd and both shells, I didn't use the grippy one so that's brand new.
On the default pad there is a part where the G9X logo has started to come off, I just did that cleaning it with rubbing alcohol. Also the...
I installed CAELinux on a ext HDD which also installed GRUBon it and now I cannot boot with out my ext HDD, is there anyway I can move GRUB to my primary SSD?
I'm creating a site for selling high end laptops using WordPress. However I can't find a plugin suitable for the level of customization I want. I'm not really sure what to do here, I don't code which is why I am using WordPress.
Any help or even a point in the right direction would be greatly...
I am trying to make up the best build $1500 could ever possibly buy. I get a lot questions asking for a system in this price range lately. I've been out of the game since 2007. Basically I still have the same equation for a proper build. Find the best GPU possible, find the cheapest CPU, or best...
Looking buy an i5 or i7 LGA 1155
LGA 1155 Motherboard preferably ASUS supporting crossfire
Looking for ram as well DDR3 1300
Hard drive would be nice too =D
Brand NEW, IN BOX.
I had to purchase this for school, it was mandatory and included in my lab fee. I never opened it and it's still in the original boxes.
Comes with original warranty and if it does not work as you open it within 7 days I can return it to school and hopefully replace it quickly...
I'm not really worried about size. I just need something that will run Battlefield 3 well. I can't find any charts on current ati vs nvidia mobile. Those would be helpful. My budget is $1,100 new/used/refurbished. I'm looking at strictly MSI, Sagar and ASUS brands. Thanks for any help!
Trying to run a repair install on windows, as I'm getting a win32k.sys BSOD when windows goes to the desktop. Now I've renamed the win32k.sys file as I read somewhere that It WOULD be recreated and uncorrupted on restart, but that just gave me a different blue screen. So now I'm trying to run...
I am going to be moving to Norway from Michigan soon. I'm not really sure on how I should package it for shipping. It's a custom built rig. Clearly I will need to disassemble it. But to what extent is my question. I figure I will remove everything but the DVD, HDD, the mobo, and processor...
I have been looking around for a keyboard that has a sort of slider on the side of it. One that is similar to a slider on a joystick for throttle control. I play bf2 alot and this would be very nice for piloting helicopters. Is there one out there that any of you know of? Or am I gonna have to...
When I was adding a PCI NIC card, I dropped a screw down in it and had to open it up to get it out. It was wedged, and no matter how hard I shook it, the thing would not come out. To my surprise as I put it back together, it still worked. Did I do the right thing, or should I have just left the...
Well my Ultra 120 needs to be lapped. Temps are about 40c load at stock clock on my e6750, 23-25 at idle. Which is not bad, but I am getting uneven heat distribution through out each core. It could be due to a lot of factors, but the fact is that the machining process on the finish of the heat...
Well I just installed my ultra 120 and now my internet will not work. I was a bit rough with the mobo trying to squeeze it in my mid tower case. Upon boot, it said something about the CMOS and asked me
to either: press f1 to enter set up or press f2 to use current setting. I pressed F2 since I...

"On the other hand, cost and capacity are still issues. Note that you can find the Super Talent 32GB drive at various resellers for around $900"
What the deal with this stuff? I recenetly got into a argument on another forum about it. The topic was whether or not SLi ram will make a difference on a intel chipset. I cant see it causing a conflict but what exactly does SLi have to do with ram? Does it better communicate with the GPU when...
Well its not exaclty like a pig but in 3d it makes a interesting noise. It never used to do this until a few days after I got it. I did some research and it might be a buzzer since it could be underpowered but it doesent sound like a buzz more like a REEE or something. It changes tone as the 3d...
Basically this thread is about posting what you think the next high end card from Nvidia will be. Should be fun looking back and seeing who hit the nail on the head.
Model Name: Nvidia GX980 (ATi has the 9800, lets avoid lawsuits shall we Nvidia?)
Core Code : G92
Transistor Count: 1.2...
So today I tried to use my S-Video out on my 8800GTX to set up a second display on my TV, so I can have MSN convos there whilst I play a game. But I have reverted everything back and now I sit here with my monitor looking as if im trying to run 1680x1050 on my TV! I don't understand the problem...
Nah. But when I put it up to 100% its all like GREGWERGDRGRAWEG making noise and shit. Its my 8800GTX's fan so I dunno does yours make noise at 100%? Im not talking airflow it like kinda grinds. Could it be because I have a 80CFM exhaust fan right by it on my side panel?
I want to buy a cheap card that has similar HS mounting locations as the 8800GTX. The mounting locations for the 8800 kinda looks similar to the mounting locations of the LGA775 coolers. Kinda get where I'm going here? If they are close enough I might be able to mill a conversion mount so I can...
I honestly cant believe CPU's have been in the same range of MHz for so long. I really must say I expected a CPU over 5GHz when at this time when I bought my 2GHz dell in 2001-2. Are multi cores just a compensation for technology running short? The answer I am thinking is maybe with the...
I thought if I disabled SpeedStep it would keep my multiplier from changing when I was idle. Here I sit at 2003.82mhz. I need to figure how to turn what ever power saving feature this is off before I over clock. How do I shut it off? And what the fuck does SpeedStep do anyways. I have a Asus...
When I first got my pc built, my card would idle at 48c no problem. Then I started playing some games and the average idle temp would be around 52c. Then I installed Ntune so I could monitor my temps while ingame, after doing this my idle temps jumped up to about 58-60c. Ive changed all the...
SSo basically Im posting this to help all the other people in the same position as I was. Just trying to build a pc and really not having a fucking clue what your doing. I am far from being a pro and your going to see a few errors I have made during this build. Hell you might even catch a few...
Basically im installing my mobo and im not sure if i need to use these plastic washers. It says no where to use them but I look on my mobo and there is metal contacts where the screws fasten. Heres a pic: http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c41/AMPHIRON/P1000545.jpg
The board is a Asus P5K. I...
Well I just got all my parts for my computer and as I was reading through the manual of my Asus P5K Motherboard it said "This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 mb chips." The ram I orderd is 128x64:

This is retarded but I forgot what site I was going to order some parts for my PC from. It was like 3dtech.com or somthing like that. Is there a list of sites or somthing? Help me please lol.
Been looking all around for some reviews because this PSU seems really nice.
