It's been known that older cards will draw some power through the PCI-e slots, even though you've already connected the 6-pin power connector. However, I've seen some mentions that newer video cards, like the HD7000 series and r9 series get their juice exclusively from the 6/8-pin dedicated...

Intro for newbs: the term "ergo clear" switch refers to a switch that is a combination of a clear stem and a spring from either a red, blue, or brown switch. A normal clear switch is generally too heavy, so a spring from a red/blue/brown switch will make it feel lighter and also bring out the...

$100 shipped It's a CoolerMaster Storm QuickFire Rapid with cherry MX reds (SGK-4000-GKCR1-US). Selling this one to make room for more keyboards. This is brand new, only took it out for these two pics. It's from the new batch that is brandless, meaning no ugly coolermaster logo all over for a...

Hi guys, I just removed the IHS off my IB processor and thought I'd share this "tutorial" video and results. I got a huge 40°C lower on one of the cores . If I average temps from all cores before and after the mod, then it's 79.25°C before IHS removal, and 59°C after IHS removal. That's still...

I'm going to build a desktop in a few months mainly for music production. I've built many computers before, however never one for just audio. Budget is around $700, so how should I delegate this budget to each of the components? For example, I know a good chunk of it should go to a large storage...

I'm willing to buy these 3 things: 1) x58 1366 motherboard (FOUND, don't need anymore) - doesn't matter which one, but must be in perfectly working condition. No more than $100 shipped 2) ivy bridge i5-3570k - new or used doesn't matter, don't care much about max overclocks either. No more...

1) I have a 1 year old i7-2600k that was used in a low powered machine HERE, it was never overclocked since the H67 motherboard does not support overclocking. $240 shipped for CPU only, add another $5 for the original box and cooler. 2) I also have a brand new sealed i7-3770k that was an...

I have 6 mice for sale. I either got bored of them or don't fit my usage characteristics. Obviously I can only use one at a time, so most of them are "like new" condition, and come with original retail boxes. 1) Cyborg R.A.T. 9 - Hardly used, love the customization and look of these, but I...

I have a brand new powrcolor 6950 1gb with the dual fan design. It still has shrink wrap on it, so the box has never been opened. I'm asking $185 shipped, no trades.

I have a few amazon gift cards to sell for 10% off the face value. I can accept paypal, but would prefer payment by amazon payment. Reason being is that I can't get these gift card amounts to my bank account, but if you buy these cards and send the money through amazon payment or paypal, I can...

i have a brand new Das Model S Ultimate Silent Keyboard, model number DASK3ULTMS1SI. i didnt look closely when ordering, so i bought the wrong model :(. this is the silent model with MX brown keys, i meant to buy the MX blue switches with model number DASK3ULTMS1. i'll sell it for $135...

i had a intel x25m 80gb and wanted to upgrade, so i imaged my drive with acronis. then i loaded that image on to a vertex 256gb, then extended the main partition (80gb) to the whole usable space (238gb). what i thought to be an upgrade turned out to be a downgrade. now i'm getting constant...

i'm looking for any socket 1156 processor. new, used, or ES chip doesn't matter, but key is low price. ebay currently has a new G6950 2.8GHz for $65, and microcenter has i3 550 3.2GHz for $100. i'm going to buy one in a few weeks, so if you can offer something lower or similar, please PM me

i initially bought these cards for mining, but my room is only able to take 3 dedicated miners. my circuit breaker keeps shutting off if i add any more, so these are being sold or traded for higher density cards. here's what i have, all still sealed in the box: - sapphire 6950 2gb - SOLD -...

i think i just got a lemon pci-e 1x from hong kong. certain pins seem to be bad, so i'm wondering if these certain pins are crucial to the functionality of this extender. i looked at wikipedia for the pci-e pinouts, and i boxed the pins that are defective in red: basically there are two...

i just unlocked shaders on a HD6950, but kept the clocks and memory as the original 6950 defaults, so it wasn't a full flash to a 6970. when i overclocked the the core to 875mhz, it keeps fluctuating between 830mhz and 875mhz. when i increase to +20% in powertune, it helps a little, but does not...

hi guys, starting another SFF build. my previous (build #3) was small, lower power, and quiet, with an emphasis on size and portability. this build will be similar, but with an emphasis on quietness. with this build, i'll be fitting a mATX board in this mini-ITX case, and will be using a huge...

every review i've read, all the new 6670 and 6570 video cards are reference cards. the 6670 is low profile, and the 6570 comes with gddr5. yet when trying to find these reference cards (or similar) for sale, there are none. all the 6670 are full height double slot cards, i need something in low...

i have a gigabyte H67N-USB3 mobo, and apparently only the CPU fan header can control the fan's RMPs, the other header just runs it at full speed. currently, i have 3 fans in there: the scythe SY1212SL12M and a noctua NF-R8, both connected to a Y cable splitter that's connected to the CPU fan...

i have two 2600k, selling one but i might keep the other. the used one ran stock clocks on a H67 board, can't overclock on this board so i don't know what the max multiplier is. the second one was planned for a build but never finished buying all the parts for it yet...decided to ditch that...

i thought maybe we can try to consolidate any info about these non standard sized Z68 boards that will launch tomorrow for easier research before buying. here are a few confirmed boards: gigabyte GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3 mATX gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 mATX ASRock Z68 Pro3-M mATX MSI Z68MA-ED55 mATX...

build #1: WHS box first, is a small WHS box used for daily backups of several computers, and also for a central file storage and printer. this build was finished several months ago right when the new AMD zacate APU hit the etailer shelf, but just posting pics right now. here are the hardware...

i plan to replace the stock PSU of a case with a picoPSU 150-XT with a 150w power brick adapter. the current hardware i have currently is running case-less, pulls 71w idle and 130w load from the wall, using a seasonic x750 gold. would the picoPSU 150w combo be able to handle this? i would get...

new or used, i'm looking to buy this mobo. it's currently $95 on newegg, so a little cheaper than that would be nice. also looking for a HD5670 video card since these are the best one without the power connector

i'm about to buy a slightly used 24" acer p243w for $150 and was wondering if it's worth the price, considering i can also get a brand new 1920x1200 24" one for around the same price. the only reason is because i like the 1200 vertical pixel as opposed to all the new generation 1080p...

i'm looking for a set of headphones to get, but i'm a bit overwhelmed by the choices on newegg. here are some factors to consider: 1) price. i'm willing to spend up to $100 if it's really worth it. for example, if there's a decent pair that's $30, then there's one that's just a little better...

i just bought a AMD 790 mobo and thought it would be compatible with the new hexacores, but it's not :(. what's the cheapest mobo/chipset i can get for it that is compatible? i don't need a monster overclocker, just something that will POST. any voltage options to overclock or undervolt would be...

there's two EVGA gt240 that looks almost identical, so i'm just curious as to what the differences is besides the PCB color of green vs black. is it because of revision differences because of any bugs between the two? EVGA 512-P3-1241-LR 512mb ddr5 EVGA 512-P3-1240-LR 512mb ddr5

i have new cpu's that never got used. i3-530 and phenom II x4 925 are retail, the i3-540 is OEM but was also never plugged in. there's also a i3-530 that i accidentally opened the wrong box thinking it was another CPU, so it's also brand new never plugged in, but the box is not sealed. i need...

i just installed the drivers for a HD4890 from the ATI website, and now i'm deciding if i should also use the Catalyst Control Center (CCC) or not. does the CCC come equipped with the tools for huge performance gains or will it just be more bloatware? to my understanding, i'll also need to...

i know that h55 chipsets are greatly neutered for SLI/xfire because the second pci-e slot won't run the full bandwidth. but if i only use one of the pci-e slot, then does it matter which one i use? i want to use the bottom one because of wire management configurations, but i think the GPU will...
