Just wondering if anyone has seen something like this before as this seems kinda weird to me. Sig Rig for the hardware. I pulled my second 970 out and gave it to my kid since he's gaming a lot more than I am lately. Immediately after pulling it my computer started randomly shutting down. I'm...

Long story short my youngest kid's PC took a dive. Corrupted BIOS, no saving it. Before it's death it was a Pentium G3258 (AE) setup. So I'm looking for one of 3 options: 1) a Z87 that has been flashed to accept Haswell Refresh / Devil's Canyon chips 2) A Board/CPU combo that isn't going to...

My wife's Shield motherboard shit the bed on her and she's heartbroken. Since parts are non existent and replacing her LTE model with a used one would cost the same as it was brand new, I'm stuck trying to figure out something to replace it with. However, finding something in the same vein as...

Making a long story short, I received some nice corsair bits from an engineer for the company a little while ago. I finally got around to swapping my PC into the new case and install the h100 he sent me. It was brand new, still in the shrink wrap. however, as soon as I turned it on, the pump...

Short story: Working on an Alienware Aurora R4 with a 3820, 4X4GB ram, 770 GTX, 1HDD. The PC has been acting up for quite some time. It would randomly reboot and give errors with the GPU. I couldn't find any issues, so re-seated all components and the issue went away for a few months. A few...

These guys I was in store this weekend and found these same headphones marked $99. Sales confirmed the price and stated that Senn is pulling their merchandise from in-store, so everything is clearanced. This was the only pair of Senn's left in the store, and for 50% off the regular price, I...

So my boss asked me to come up with a system for him. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Productivity - Office 2013, web surfing, probably video watching. 2) What's your budget? $800-900 complete 3) Which country do you live in? US, AZ 4) What exact parts do you need for that budget...

I'm looking to upgrade most the machines in my house this fall as they're all about the same vintage (2.6 C2D, 2.8 C2D, oc'd 3.0 C2Q). As the dwo dual core machines are used by kids for gaming, school work, web surfing, blah blah, I was thinking about giving these the new unlocked Pentium chip...

So now that RAPID mode software is out for the Pro series, I come to a difficult decision: RAPID mode for my game drive or for my OS drive. 1st world problems. :D Looks like it works just as well for the Pro as it does the Evo drives. I haven't had the chance to do any major benchmarking...

Just wondering if this would be more hassle than it's worth. After upgrading I have an 80GB X25-M sitting on my desk, and was thinking of adding it as a cache drive to my RAID setup. The only issue I can see is that the SSD would have slower sequential read that the RAID, which could...

Anyone else having issues getting back into BIOS after turning on the ultra fast boot option on this board? I've tried multiple times to use the advanced settings in Win 8 to boot into the bios, but a few seconds later I'm right back at the start screen. Just wondering if I'm doing something...

So I tried searching to see if I could find this topic already covered but had no luck. I just got done building a Haswell system and decided to go with a Kraken x60 280mm AIO for the CPU. NZXT showed compatibility with my case (CM 690-II) for both top and bottom mounting, but top mount was...

I don't play any of these but have the nVidia codes. Codes are $50 in-game currency, selling for $25.00 Heat EDIT: WoT and PS2 are sold, Hawken still available with price drop

I've been fighting with this now for a couple weeks with no success, so I come to the experts for some help. I recently switched from cable to DSL and had to ditch the modem for a q1000 qwest router/modem piece. I have this setup in transparent bridge mode and the network runs through a...

So I accidentally grabbed an extra copy of this while it was on sale. If you missed out and still want it, I'm not looking to profit off it. $13.00 and it's yours.

Can't find anything on this topic, but found this really odd. I went from a 150GB Velociraptor as my OS drive to an 80GB G2 SSD. After installed Windows, updating the firmware on the SSD to the latest version and downloading/using the Intel toolbox, the SSD really didn't feel all that much...

I'm not having much luck finding good information on this one, so I figure it's time to ask the experts. I'm looking into more storage space as my Steam folder is getting a little fat after this last round of sales. I've narrowed things down to two options: -Buy a 120GB+ SSD and split my...

As the title says, got one left from the pack purchase yesterday. $1.67. Post here or PM for paypal details. Sold!

I've been getting an itch to bump up my gaming power a little bit here lately. I have a single GTX260 216 and for the most part it does what I want, but at 1920X1200 I do run into issues with a few of the games I play (Call of Pripyat for example) not being able to crank all the eye candy to...
