    ~10 month old ASUS GTX670-DC2-2GD5 $225 shipped OBO It's already packed (stupid me) so I don't have pics, but I just installed it, used it, and packed it. There was no rough-housing involved. Works perfectly and, as far as I could tell, no cosmetic damage. heatware...

    690 vs 780

    I only have room for one card in my gaming machine and I game at 2560 x 1600. What are people's thoughts on the 690 vs the 780? Of course, I will overclock as much as I can so keep that in mind. From what I can tell, the 690 is the best choice for the most powerful solution, but my main...

    Upside down mobo tray?

    I've been thinking of making a case with an upside down mobo tray and I was wondering why no one else has done it before. Then I realized there could be issues with weight of heatsink and any discrete cards could be at risk of falling out. Then I thought further and realized those could just be...

    Reliable RAID card for easy compatibility with desktop motherboards?

    This is my first foray into the world of RAID cards. I purchased an LSI 9260-8i only to discover that I am having one helluva time trying to get it recognized by my motherboard. I forget what I am using now, but I think it's the ASUS P8Z77-M PRO. I am trying to get 7/8x Samsung F2/F3 1.5TB into...

    Purchased Motherboard, RAM, CPU combo

    So I purchased a combination of RAM, Motherboard, and CPU. The seller, for the most part, provided decent disclosure including lack of I/O shield. However, one thing he forgot to mention was that the RAM had no RAM heatsinks on them. Now, correct me if I am wrong please so I can learn from my...

    5850 vs 5870

    Many people are mentioning that their OC'd 5850 has the same performance as a 5870. If that's the case, is there any point for an OCer to purchase the 5870? Wouldn't the debate be more between the 5850 and 5970?
