    Beware of Geeks.com

    I ordered a Powercolor 5850 from them last week, brand new. It arrived today, a full week later, in an envelope. Yes, an envelope. Let me rephrase that: The retail box was in a sealed paper bag. :eek: If you've seen el-cheapo retail video card packaging recently, you know that the cards...

    i5 2500k currently at 4.5ghz at 1.3V - (why) should I go higher?

    I'm just playing around with the rig in the sig. 4500mhz at 1.3V using "Regular" LLC and "Optimized" VRM Phase Control is pretty damn good. I'm seeing temps of 52C during BC2 and 58C during Intel Burn Test. It just passed 10 runs of IBT. I got a BSOD at 4700 mhz with the same voltage...

    6950 + 6970 better than 6950 + 6950!

    I have an MSI Twin Frozr II 6950 (not unlockable) and an unlocked and flashed-to-6970 Gigabyte 6950. When I initially crossfired them, I put the Gigabye card back to its original 6950 bios. Just for shits, I benched the configuration with no tweaking and got P8544 in 3DMark 11. I then powered...

    Ultimate Electronics store closing may actually have deals now YMMV

    Just a reminder that they are continuing to mark down inventory. I just picked up an Antec True Power Quattro 850w for $100. They also had some Klipsch 5.1 home theater speakers for $160. Yum.

    Why Eyefinity is not for me.

    Let me start off by saying that if you have Eyefinity and like it, that's great. I'm happy for you. However, I just purchased 3x 25" monitors to try Eyefinity... Yeah, it's kinda cool, but overall I think it's a gimmick. In my opinion it's totally not worth the money unless you also need 3...

    So I needed to get a pair of speakers for my girlsfriend's gaming rig. They didn't have to be great, just provide basic sound. I have a pair of early-gen Klipsch 2.1's that have me totally spoiled, and some X-540's that are pretty good for my gaming rig. I went to Microcenter tonight and...

    WTB 5870

    I'm looking for another 5870 for Xfire. Preferably XFX, but anything will do. Offering no more than $235 shipped. Sorry, 6870 is out and I might just get two of those - the performance will likely match the 5870 with newer drivers and it uses less power. That's how it is... 100% heat under same...

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817608006 This is BY FAR the best performing power supply you can get for the money. It was a shell shocker deal at $50 shipped a while back, but this is the next best price. It is a bit long, though, and is not fully sleeved.

    Anyone have a high-profile video card bracket?

    I bought an X1550 for a testing video card and it came with a low profile bracket. I need a "normal" high-profile bracket for it. The card looks like this, just with a half-height bracket (I need the one pictured): Can anyone help me out? Heat under same name.

    FSP Kingcraft 1000w $69

    http://www.shopfsp.com/kingcraft-1000/p/421.html Code: LABORDAY10 I believe this thing is the same as the OCZ ProXtreme 1000w, which is a fairly OK PSU if you can stand the noise. Note that this is NOT known for excessive ripple, afaik. $10 off code also works on other items.

    3.3V X18-M 1.8" SSD to desktop SATA adapter woes.

    So I picked up an X18-M for a desktop and didn't realize it uses micro SATA. :mad: Now I need to find an adapter cable that will 100% NOT fry this SSD when I hook it up. (Normal SSDs use 5V, these use 3.3V). I would like advice on what I should get that will 100% work. Thanks!

    Yes, it an ebay link, but it's Buy It Now, and there are "over 10 items." This drive is about equal to an OCZ Agility, Kingston V-series, or Supertalent Ultradrive. ~210ish seq read, 160ish reads. Nothing to sneeze at, and the cheapest no-rebate 128gb SSD you will find.

    Need advice on Blu-Ray drive

    I'm building a computer for a friend who is planning on hooking it up to his HDTV. I suggested he get a Blu-Ray player and he agreed. I want to get a drive that comes with decent playback software, but do not know where to start. Anyone have any suggestions?
