Hey all. Been awhile since I've been on here. I broke a capacitor off my watercooled 290x and now it only runs at 100mhz unfortunately, so I need a new card. I am wondering which card you would recommend. Obviously I will be overclocking the hell out of it and take full advantage of my...

I just got this used msi 290x card off ebay a couple days ago and just got all the drivers installed, which happened to take 20 mins. Not too happy about that but it's all done finally. I grabbed the 14.7 beta which shows up as 14.6 in afterburner. Anyway, it's sporting anice ek water block...

Hey all, I've been itching to buy a new card for some time now as my water cooled 470gtx is really starting to show it's age and having to run alot of new games on low-medium settings is getting to be annoying. I've been reading posts and recently read about people offloading their bitcoin...

I wanted to lower my voltage on my 2500k which is set to 4500mhz so I am using a negative offset which is currently set at .070 which seem high, but it works. Thing is, the bios shows this setting as red, which begins at .065. Is there a danger of undervolting if this setting is red? I am...

So I'm messing around with a negative offset since the cpu gets more voltage than it needs and I have the multi set so the cpu will run at 4500mhz. I am currently using a negative offset of .070 which shows as red in my asus bios, is this a concern? I am thinking the red, which starts at .065 is...

I received my new replacement board today, after my previous one basically fried, and cannot get it to post no matter what I try. First time I started it up it would not post but sit at the dram light and just remain solid. I held the button to let it reboot a bunch of times to let it do it's...

Holy crap, so this morning after having used the computer last night just fine, I turn it on and it only briefly goes on then off. I noticed the cpu red light was on each time, but I pulled out a single stick of memory and it booted. When it booted though, I was greeted with a mini plume of...

Hey guys. So my friend would like me to build him a new computer for video rendering and encoding using adobe elements 9 or sony vegas. I tried adobe on my new 2500k with 8gb memory and my cpu barely went above 50% with memory at 3.65 which I was shocked to see, since I expected the cpu to max...

Hey guys. So my friend bought the $1500 imac recently and he hates how it takes him a half hour to finalize a small video he is editing, which seems reasonable since he is using an i3 processor. I told him about the new sandy bridge chips and he asked me if I could build him a good pc for less...

Hey guys. Not sure when this started to happen, but after I oc'd my galaxy 470 gtx which is on water a few weeks back things have been kind of weird, which could be coincidental about the OC. I used occt to make sure I got no artifacts so the oc is stable with the voltage at 1.0875. I have my...

So I finally ordered my watercooling parts to go into my 800d and am just hoping I got everything set straight. My Stuff: Bitspower v2 top 2X Bitspower white led plugs for Res Swiftech 655 with speed adjust 16 ft. of PrimoFlex Pro LRT White Tubing - 7/16in. ID X 5/8in. OD Bitspower Matt...

Hey everyone. So ever since I bought my galaxy gtx 470 I have been itching to do a full water cooling build for several reasons. I want to oc the card like crazy, cool my q6600, and basically have a dead/near silent pc. At the moment I have a lian-li v1010b which is an awesome case from...

So i got back from frys after picking up my galaxy 470 for $250 and lo and behold, the card is so long that my sata ports for my hdds are sticking out too far for the card to fit into the pcie slot. There is a slot below also, but its not a full speed pcie slot, and the case floor will restrict...

So I found this card on craigslist today and emailed the guy but am waiting for a reply. Seems like an awesome deal, since he said he used it for "light" gaming which he can't prove, but oh well. Does this seem like a good deal? I will try to haggle, but even then, 250 seems like a steal. Btw...

Ever since I installed vista ultimate 64, while watching an avi movie through spdif using vlc player I get constant audio skipping. To fix this I started using media player classic with ffdshow and everything has been working great, no hiccups using 5.1 ac3 through spdif on my receiver. I...
