Around Dec 2019, I started to buy parts for a new build, but I couldn't buy any new gen GPU so I used my 980 TI from my previous build. Fast forward to now, I pulled the trigger on a 7900XTX XFX and bought a new PSU. Right now, I want to understand if I'm going to run into many issues with the...

I was trying to OC my i7 920(never tried before) and I most likely fucked up somewhere. When saving my oc bios work, my pc wouldn't boot up to windows and just died. I decided I messed up and decided tor reset my cmos. I double checked my bios to confirm it was default settings and went to...

Hi Guys, I'm in the market in buying a card, I'm currently rocking the same build in my signature except for the following: 1. u3011(thinking of getting 2 additional monitors to go portrait side by side) 2. MSI 460 1GB 3. Gskill 16gb ram I'm planning on playing a heavily modded skyrim...

Recently bought that shell shocker deal for the gskill 16gb. Since that was purely impulse buy I was wondering if there was any issue from buying another 8gb set for 24gb triple channel. Or is it recommended to buy things in sets as I might run into problems if I mix and match, even if I buy...

I have a question, what is everyone's experience with recertified cards? Er actually, the seller claims he bought it "open box" from the egg and says it's recertified. The going price is 369.99, along with 8% bcb and 2% ebay bucks, I'll be able to snag the card for like 330-340ish. The...

I am planning on grabbing a XFX 5850 or 5870 sometime during January and I wanted to get into the Eyefinity bandwagon. I currently own a Syncmaster 245BW 24in, I bought it when it was around 400ish and it was recently repaired. My question is this, I am not exactly willing to ditch this...

I have a Cooler Master Sniper Case, I am almost just about finished building my rig. I wanted to know what would be the best use of the fan, if I place one in the compartment of the red dot area. Should I push or pull air? I heard someone mention that the coolest air is floor level, and I was...

It is my first time installing a bolt in heatsink and utilizing fan clips. I for the life of me, can not seem to figure how to use this clips to hold my fans onto the heatsink, properly. I've probably spent maybe 2hrs fingering with it and looking online for instructions. First the...

Anyone excited about this?, they mentioned that you can combine this promotion with others. I am pretty sure there should be some bing CB going on towards the holiday. But then again 20 tops per item CB

This is just a rant on how the 1366 socket backplates for older heatsinks like the FX-14 don't allow the use of the mini heatsink for the back of the cpu, HR-10. And the extremely difficult process of fitting this backplate onto the back of the EVGA x58. I bet I was just unlucky to get a...

Hey guys, I am in the process of building my new computer. So far I installed the i.o shield on the case that came with EVGA mobo. When I placed the EVGA mobo in, I found that it was extremely difficult to line up the board with the screws. For all EVGA x58 owners, you know there is a rather...

Well originally my main card was an BFG 7900GT 256mb, back when it was worth around 250$. That died after perhaps 2-3years and I turned it in to BFG and got the 8800GTS 320mb. After another 2-3 years, it is time to move on from the 8800GTS. I was hoping people could give me some...
