Hello - Looking for some feedback here. I used to be a big gamer up until about 5 or so years ago at which point I put away my water cooled 3.8ghz Bloomfield machine and have been using a PS4 for occasional gaming. With the advent of VR I've had a renewed interest in PC gaming. I was originally...

Should the card that the monitor is connected to run hotter than the secondary card? I just water cooled both of my cards and the first card (monitor connected) stays a few degree's hotter (as much as 5c at load) than the second card. This was the case when they were air cooled although I...

Hello - I'm in the process of putting together a water loop. I've started with just 1 of my 460's and am going from there (I'm experimenting and learning along the way). I have an XSPC full cover block on my card and my temps seem pretty bad at load (furmark), somewhere around 70c!! I seem to...

I'm in the process of WCing my system and I just recieved the tubing, 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD. The video cards are adjacent to one and other due to space restraints. I'm using swiftech mcw80 water blocks (non reference boards). That being said the tubing will kink when I hook up the cards to the...

My SLI has suddenly stopped working out of nowhere. It happened the other night and after reinstalling the drivers a bunch of times (driver sweep etc was used) and randomly unplugging an a usb header from the mobo it started working again (I have no idea if this was a coincidence). Today I...

I returned my evga external exhaust 460's because they were too loud and replaced them with the gigabyte model which are nice and quite. Now I have a new problem... HEAT! The cards are right next to each other in the 2 16x pcie slots. The one that gets restricted airflow quickly heats up to...

I currently have a gtx460 sli setup that's going back to newegg due to its loud idle noise (evga EE). I'm more than happy with the performance although the idle noise is a deal breaker. In the mist of deciding what different 460 I wanted, I got an email from newegg offering 10% off an msi 470...

DOUBLE POST - PLEASE DELETE I currently have a gtx460 sli setup that's going back to newegg due to its loud idle noise (evga EE). I'm more than happy with the performance although the idle noise is a deal breaker. In the mist of deciding what different 460 I wanted, I got an email from...

I just got a pair of evga external exhaust 460's and they are very noisy. I'm comming from a 260gtx that was wisper quite. These things sound like a fan in a 10 year old computer that is about to go bad!! The build quality on these are pretty flimsy compared to the 260 I have. Is anyone else...

I've had this question for a while however I've never bothered to get any advice. Do you get better precession running your mouse at its max DPI with a low in game sensitivity? I've always run my G5 at the middle DPI setting and its been fine however I'm wondering if I'm missing something...

I've been wanting to build a WHS box for a while now and the one thing holding me back... the case! Originally I chose the Chenbro ES30068-BK-150 although after ordering it I realized that it wont work with a mini-itx socket 775 MB (only has a 20 pin power adapter). I decided that unless I...

I'm wanting to put together a WHS system although I'm wondering if I can use it to host game serves such as TF2 or L4D2 in addition to its standard uses. I see that it can run any windows program although I haven't been able to find anything online that says I can use it to host a game server.

I just installed an Intel X-25M 160gb SSD a few days ago with Windows 7. I've noticed that my HD access light on the front of my case constantly flickers at an even cadance when the computer is completely idle. I've never noticed this before on any other HD I've owned in the past. Does...

My not even 2 year old Raptor X sh!t the bed about a week ago and I sent it in for RMA as it was still under warranty. Has anyone replacement one of these through Western Digital? I wondering if I'm going to get the new Raptor as a replacement. I honestly don't miss it that much... I...

I currently have a viewsonic VP191b and its starting to show its age. I've had my eye on a 22-24 panel for a while now but I'm very picky. At the time the VP191b was the best 19" lcd and as I recall maybe one of the first spva screens?? (I'm not sure). With that said I have 2 options I'm...
