I think I was running it downclocked for the past year or so, just took it down to the lowest I could do with the catalyst tool and still froze after a minute or so of gaming. I guess it's time for a new GPU card :( could it be anything else? I'm just trying to gauge what I might need to replace.
I've tested it with Diablo 3 and Starcraft, same situation, the game loads fine and everything is smooth, but when I start playing (GPU under load) it will crash very quickly, I don't think it's the temp of the GPU core, I monitored with GPU-Z and ~5 seconds before a crash it was still reading...
I'm running a HD 6970 gaming at 1600p. I've had my computer for a couple of years and this hasn't happened before. A couple of days ago my computer started artifacting/freezing within minutes of starting TF2. I thought it might have been a heat issue so I pulled out the card and reapplied the...
I have another question, if I have a z68 motherboard that can take advantage of the sata3, should I go with the 120gb corsair force gt or still with intel 320 160gb at half the speed?
Seems to be same price on Newegg.

I think it's a pretty good deal for a drive that won't die within 6 months of usage.
what do you guys think?
Edit: after further digging into the reviews of all these sandforce drives, I have come to conclusion that the...
what would a decent PSU be right now, I haven't been in the enthusiast game for a while, what brands and wattage could power a 2600k, 8 gigs of ram, and a 6970 2GB comfortably?
no plans on upgrading in the near future.
Hi, I'm going to be buying a new computer soon, don't really know if I should splurge on the extra gb of ram on the video card if I'm going to be gaming on my 30" and what video card is best value for $150-250 range?
A few weeks ago my computer just started randomly shutting down, I thought maybe it was because my system was old and parts had started to fade, after checking all the ram sticks 1 by 1 and getting coretemp and stuff, I figured the issue wasnt RAM or overheating since I replaced the thermal...
upgrading from a old razer mac edition thingy, been using my old razer for 5 years now, still running strong! just kinda dirty and I thought it might be time for an upgrade ;)
I have a Razer Barracuda soundcard I bought ages ago ha, I also forgot to say that I'm probably only going to be using them for listening to music and gaming most of the time, my chances of mixing music/making music are slim :p so I think I'm going to go with the Behringer, now on to the next...
Just ordered a pair of White Rokit 5's off eBay and now I need to figure out how to set them up to my computer :D
Options:
Get a Cheap Behringer DAC
or a even cheaper Hosa cable thingy
or a awesome musiland monitor DAC from eBay
I guess my questions would be, how much of a...
Plus the shipping for the CPU which will be ~$5 and the fees for paypal/ebay will amount to another ~$7, so it's not really that good of an deal if you aren't looking for the CPU.
I would say that's a lot more fair in pricing, since they sell Elites with mono colored options for $550 on their site, such a detailed paint job should be worth quite a bit extra, and with a Zune to boot.
