Hey all. I pulled my EVGA GTX 970 FTW out of my system to blow it out and noticed some weird, greasy residue on the backplate: Exhibit 1: Exhibit 2: Exhibit 3: If you look at the first two images, there's a thermal pad underneath where the residue has deposited (except for the third...

Looking for a backplate for the non-ACX EVGA GTX 750, seeing how they are perpetually out of stock on EVGA's website. Heatware: deffmac

I just picked up an EVGA GTX 970 FTW today to replace my 770 Lightning. After I got everything installed and did a clean driver install, I decided to do a power cycle for good measure. After I did a full shutdown and start, the display comes on locked at 1080p (my monitor is a 1440p ASUS PB278Q...

Thought y'all might want to take a gander at these. Fake? Maybe. Interesting? Kinda.

I'm selling my Wii U DD Bundle (32gb w/ Super Mario Bros U) (purchased around beginning of June) and copy of Mario Kart 8. Comes with original packaging. I packed the contents as best I could to match how they were originally. Paypal or Google Wallet accepted. Will ship USPS w/...

I purchased an Asus PB238Q as secondary display to go along with my PB278Q. As of right now, I have the PB278Q connected through DP and the PB238Q through HDMI, but I would much rather have it connected through DP as well. One of the issues, which seems lit-picky, is when the system puts the...

I am selling one of my MSI GTX 770 Lightning. This card was purchased from Newegg back in November 2013. The card was mildly overclocked and will be shipped in its original box (sans accessories). I am asking $220 and accept PayPal and Google Wallet (PP preferred). I can provide pictures at...

A couple of weeks ago, on a whim, I upgraded to a Z87 MPOWER and a 4770K (from a Z77 MPOWER and 3570K). After the initial setup and testing I broke out my multi-meter and started to overclock. I've managed 4.3GHz at 1.16-1.17 with everything stable after a 24 hour burn-in test. After reading...

Basically, the nVidia Holiday Bundle sans Batman: SOLD 1x Assassins Creed: Black Flag SOLD 1x Splinter Cell: Black List - $5 Here's my Heatware. Paypal accepted.

I found a pair of Astro A40s w/ mix amp on sale for $200. I only use headphones on my PC and I'm wondering if they're truly worth the money. Does anyone have any experience with these? How is the build quality and sound performance? The reviews I've read are pretty glowing.

So, since the price of the GTX 770 Lightning has dropped, I was thinking about picking up a second one for SLi. My question comes down to PSU capacity because I can't find anything concrete: I have a Seasonc X-750, will this be enough for the two cards? I dont plan on OCing them any further than...

Hello! So, I think I'm ready to try my hand at putting together a custom loop. I've used AICs in the past, and while they're great and all, I want to do something different. My goal isn't to put together anything extreme; I just want a simple loop that is relatively easy to maintain and...

A coworker is offering to trade me a Power Mac G4 (M5870) in exchange for some random computer parts. It's a tempting offer because I remember lusting after one of these in high school. My question is, would setting this bad boy up even be worth it? He doesn't remember the specs and only has...

SOLD I'm selling my Corsair AX 750 Gold power supply. Has ~50 hours on it. All of the cables, cable bag and the drawstring bag the unit came packaged in are included. Asking $115 shipped OBO. Ships US-only via USPS. PayPal accepted.

SOLD I'm selling my Diamond Radeon 5850. I still have the original box and documentation, though I've either misplaced or given away the DVI/VGA adapter and molex-to-PCIE adapter. I'm asking for $115 shipped OBO. PM me for details. US-only shipping. No trades, please.

Looking to replace my DeathAdder of 2 years with something different. I've narrowed the field down to two contenders, the Ikari and the G9x. Anyone with experience with either one (or both)? I like the weight system of the G9 but the Ikari looks like it might be the most comfortable one of...

I've had my Thermaltake Toughpower 750 XT for almost two years. Over the past 4 weeks I've notice a sporadic buzzing coming from it while the computer is operating. It doesn't seem to be dependent on the load low or high, just randomly comes and goes. I'm thinking its nothing to be truly...

Potential newb question below: I'm planning on purchasing a i7 870 to replace my i5 750. I should be alright with doing the swap without having to reinstall Win 7, correct? I've only done this on a Linux box which was pretty straight forward.

Comp specs are in my sig. I've spent the last couple of days fiddling with my M28 trying to get it back to factory speeds (its been operating in a laptop for the past couple of months). Did a secure erase, installed Win7 and everything was operating fine: 220MB/s read and 180MB/s write. Well...

Let me start by listing the system specs: Core i5 750 @ stock 4gb Corsair DDR3 1333 clk 7 MSI P55-CD53 mobo Diamond Radeon HD 5850 (reference design) Patriot Torq m28 64gb SSD WD 1TB Green This use to be my gaming rig and since I don't do much PC gaming anymore, I threw Ubuntu 10.10...

I'm currently in the process of rebuilding my Lynnfield system and have been looking the Asus Maximus III (formula or gene, haven't decided yet). Looking at some pics I noticed pretty much all the fan headers are PWM. My question is can you designate which onboard sensor controls which fan...

Whats up? Does anyone know of a chipset block solution for a Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3? I did a little research and have found some people have had some success with the MCP universal chipset block on P55 chipsets. Would this work for my setup? Any input will be appreciated.

My current HTPC rig has a 5850 from my gaming rig but I'm looking to effectively downgrade it to a 5450 (power savings, head, ect). Anybody utilizing one? Will it do the job?

I bought a Diamond 5850 (I have my reasons ;) I'm not worried about it considering this is a OEM board which pretty much shipped to them fully assembled.) yesterday and while I was registering it on the Diamond website, I decided to read their warranty for the restrictions. Here's the passage I...

PCPerspective put together a cool article about using HYDRA technology to improve Eyefinity performance by adding a Nvidia card to the mix.

PC Perspective has a review up of the i7-980 hexacore chip up.

Looks like Sapphire is preparing for Fermi with a 4GB 5970. Looks pretty cool except for the price: ~US$1000 Read more

I've got a 750watt Thermaltake Toughpower XT that I'm in the middle of resleeving (individual wire sleeve) and I noticed the 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe power cables have ferrites on the VGA end. Are these really necessary? They're the only cables using them. I can easily re-used them, but I'd like...

I've got a 1TB Seagate Barracuda that I bought back in August, and its make what I can tell is the click of death. I haven't experienced any data loss or what not, but the sound is very audible. I did a Google search and didn't come up with any leads, but I found a video on YouTube that shows a...

I currently have a Razer Salmosa, but I'm thinking about upgrading it to a DeathAdder. I'd like to have a couple of extra buttons and a higher DPI sensor would be an added benefit. The Salmosa does a pretty good job, but the DeathAdder is worth spending $60 on? Cliffs: - Currenty have a...

I just got everything installed in my new RV02. I have to say this is a very top notch case. Plenty of room, the cable management is very good and air flow is PHENOMENAL. My only gripe is this case is really long. It barely fits on my desks pedestal. I really just threw it together and didn't...

What kind of mouth-breather bullshit is this?

So I wanna upgrade my Hyper 212+. I feel I need something that will chill my i5 better when I overclock it. The Hyper does a decent job, but its somewhat underwhelming. Newegg has the updated 1156-compatible 12UP with dual fans for $74.99 and I'm wondering if I should fork out the pennies for...

Whats the average life span of Arctic Silver 5 after its been applied? When does it dry out? Also, whats a good alternative to AS5? Its been good to me over the years, but I'm willing to branch out.

I've been waiting for both Newegg and Cooler Master to restock on the Cooler Master Blade Master 120mm so I can add a second fan to my Hyper 212. Almost a month later and still nothing, so I'm looking for a replacement Criteria: - PWM 4-pin interface - Lots of air flow. Noise is not really an...
