    Steelseries Sensei?

    Hello everyone, I am thinking about a new gaming mouse to replace my old Logitech G5. I have heard good things about the Steeleries Sensei mouse, just wondering if anyone here on the Hardforum uses one and what your feedback is? Ergonomics, features and worth the price? Thanks for any info!

    ME2

    Yes, Mass Effect 2 was without a doubt the best game of 2010 for me. I definitely plan on playing through the original ME and ME2 again before 3 comes out, this time as a ruthless renegade. I will take no mercy, I will terrorize the galaxy! Humans, turians, salarians, asari, all who oppose me...

    Gaming: noticeable difference between Xtremegamer and Titanium HD with headphones?

    I'm thinking about upgrading my sound card from my trusty old Creative X-fi Xtremegamer to a Titanium HD. I currently use Audio Technica A700 headphones, no amp. The primary purpose is gaming, but I do listen to some music and watch movies with these phones as well. Should I expect a big jump...

    Life's too short for rebates

    I don't see what the fuss is about, I don't think rebates are a bad thing. Sure it's not a good idea to make purchasing decisions based on rebates, but they are a nice little bonus. I never assume I will receive a rebate, but then again I have never been denied one. Sometimes rebates are like...

    750W should definitely be enough

    Ordering a ZR30W, what adapter cable to get for 6950?

    The ZR30W has a DisplayPort (not mini) and a Dual Link DVI port. The HD 6950 has 1 x HDMI, 2 x Mini DisplayPort, and 2 x DVI ports. What adapter cable is the best to use for connecting the 6950 to the monitor? I want whatever will give the highest quality picture, if it even matters. Thanks!

    Amazon Pulling Out of Texas Over Sales Tax

    Thanks to places like the Egg and Steam, I haven't paid a cent of tax on expensive hardware or software in a long time. As I live in NY, I have recently stopped most purchases from Amazon because they began collecting sales tax. We get taxed enough here, so I like sticking it to NY state in any...

    Help with unlocking both 6950 in CFX?

    Ah crap, this is weird. CCC is letting me overclock both cards to 900/1400, SmartDoctor is showing increased voltages for both cards, but GPU-Z is still showing 1408 shaders for one of my cards and 1536 for the other. :( Does this mean only one of my cards is unlockable? Should I try flashing...

    Bleh, disregard this post. I forgot to check the "Overclocking range enhancement" box in Asus SmartDoctor for both cards. I now have two unlocked 6950's, I am a happy pc gamer :)

    Getting my i7 920 D0 to 4.2GHz, any suggestions?

    My 920 is doing great at 4.0ghz, vcore is at 1.23, turboboost is off, BCLK is at 200 and multi is at 20. Everything else is set to Auto/default. I'd like to get to 4.2 as I think this vcore is pretty low for 4.0. Thing is I am getting bsods when I up the multi to 21 and set the voltage to...

    QUICK REBATE QUESTION: Is the "Original UPC" code the UPC code on the sticker that's on the box next to the plastic handle? The sticker that also has the part number on it? I cannot find any other UPC code anywhere, and I don't want to get my $40 rebate denied because I sent in the wrong UPC...

    AMD 7000 series, any news?

    Any idea when we will see the 7000 series from AMD? All I know is there will be a die shrink, will this mean a huge leap forward in performance, like 50%+ gains over the 6000 series? Will we see these cards out by Christmas of 2011? I'm just wondering if I should start saving my pennies for a...

    PC Gamer magazine, how is it?

    I have a 20 dollar B&N gift card and I'm thinking of subscribing. I remember the mag being pretty good back in the day, but I've noticed the past couple times seeing it on store shelves it has thinned out from what I remember. Is the 12 issues/DVDs worth 15 bux? Thanks

    Best PSU for $150ish.

    Am I the only one here who thinks the green fan on the XFX 850 is cool as hell? :) On a serious note, I have a top mount full tower case (CM stacker 830) and the cable length was fine for me. I was going to get the Seasonic X 850, but at $110 cheaper after the MIB I just couldn't pass up the...

    6950's, should I use both Crossfire bridges or just one?

    You mean bridges? I already have the two cards and my 2560x1600 monitor is coming in a week, so I think two cards will be useful:)

    GTX 580 or 6950 crossfire?

    Shellshocker: OCZ Vertex 2 120gb $200 shipped.

    How much faster will an Intel G3 be than the G2? Kinda feel like a dope as I just bought a 120GB intel G2 for 230 bucks. Oh well, I still love it, the decreased load times for gaming is fantastic. Everything just feels so snappy ,it's great!

    6950 - Any major difference between brands?

    True it won't be noticeable, but hey an increase is an increase nonetheless. Of course that shouldn't be the reason to go with ASUS, the aluminum shroud and voltage tweak are better selling points. And ASUS is just a quality brand, I've never been let down by them.

    6950 - Any major difference between brands?

    10mhz isn't much but it's more than any other reference card:)
  32. P

    6950 - Any major difference between brands?

    The ASUS is the best choice: -comes with a 10mhz overclock -aluminum shroud for better heat dissipation -voltage tweaked -excellent warranty tied to serial number And, most importantly, it's the brand I went with :)

    GIGABYTE GM-M8000X, anyone use one?

    Well I keep reading great reviews on this mouse, and it's supposedly similar in size to the G9. Went ahead and ordered one from the egg, I'll post an unboxing and review/comparison to the G9 when it arrives. I'm hoping for the best as I hate to order a mouse without getting to try it out first...

    Gaming mouse needed, recommendations?

    I've really enjoyed my Logitech G9 for the past few years, it's rock solid if you don't like a large mouse. Just ordered a Gigabyte Ghost M8000X, I'll post a review when I get it, I've heard great things about this mouse.

    XFX Black Edition XPS-850 $90 MIR/Promo /FS

    Hi punkrockpolak, I edited my post because I thought I must be wrong in my assumption that the fan is an exhaust. It must be an intake now that I think about it, am I right?

    XFX Black Edition XPS-850 $90 MIR/Promo /FS

    The big green PSU fan is the intake, correct? Can I mount the unit upside down ?

    GIGABYTE GM-M8000X, anyone use one?

    I am thinking of getting one of these, does anyone have any experience with them? I have an old Logitech G9 and I like it, but this one is cheaper than a new G9x and it got a great review from ++++++++++++++++.com. Thanks for any advice.
