    im torn, cant find charts 550Ti1gb sli vs 295 quad sli?

    Even 2 480's would be better.

    Which board? Help me decide.

    It's a known issue with the unlocked 6950's. Well, only if they're actually flashed to 6970 clocks, which both of mine are. They work if they're not running at 6970 clocks. I could've swore that that particular board had native USB 3.0 too.

    Which board? Help me decide.

    Ok so I have a client wanting to buy one of my rigs and then I'll keep the other one. However, I'm not sure which board I should sell and which to keep since they're both badass boards. Here's my choices: AsRock z68 Extreme 4 Gen 3 and the AsRock z77 Extreme 6. When looking at the...

    2500k or 2600k for gaming, and what mobo?

    Do you have a MicroCenter nearby? Reason being is because you can get a 3570k and decent mobo, like as AsRock z77 board for cheap. If you buy their "combo" you get like $50 off the board too. The 3570k @ MC is like $10 more than the 2500k.

    Worth It to move from high end PC to iMac?

    The Apple TV is pretty sweet. You don't need a Mac computer to run it either. Some of the cool features about the Apple TV, especially if you have an iPhone, is you can use the iPhone as the remote. And you can directly stream what you're watching on your phone to the Apple TV. That's the...

    FS: 2 Asus 9600 GSO's

    Selling 2 9600 GSO's. These aren't the gimped versions (128-bit bus, 48 stream processor). I only used these cards for a few months for folding. Then sat in their boxes ever since. Never OC'd. Specs: PCIe 2.0x16 550MHz core clock 1375MHz shader clock 1600MHz effective memory clock 384MB...

    Mechanic Shop Budget Build...

    Why would you put an SSD in there? There's absolutely no need for it and you'd be better served putting that money towards a good power supply like a SeaSonic or a Corsair unit. Aside from that, a lot of that proprietary software, like Mitchell on demand and AllData, are really only suited to...

    Changed CPU, not GPU won't work.

    Wow..... Well, the first thing you should do is test that card on another system if possible. Aside from that, i'd inspect the card closely for any damage that may have occurred during the drop and cpu/cooler swap.

    Prey 2 Still In Limbo

    I really liked the first one. It was original and I think the only reason it didn't do better is due to lack of advertising. It was a really fun game and had a lot of unique aspects. The story was fairly gripping too. Up to that point, it was one of the only single player games that I finished...

    2 week old i5 2500k

    Selling an i5-2500k. This CPU has only been installed once for approximately 10 minutes to flash the BIOS on my z68 board so I could run my 3570k. That's the ONLY use it's ever had. Never OC'd or seen temps above 38C. Comes in the retail packaging with heat sink and paperwork. The heat sink...

    Older system not overclocking as before

    Oh dang, I was going to suggest loosening the timings but it looks like you can't do that. Maybe it's time for a better board. ;)

    Onboard vs Discrete sound

    I've used an X-Fi for quite a while now. I still have the original Creative Xtreme music (revision 1) that I bought years ago. It STILL works perfectly to this day, I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that it's hands down better audio quality than any onboard I've ever heard. It even sounds...

    If someone left their facebook open on your computer, is it illegal to look through i

    OK so I looked into this and it doesn't apply. The act codified as 18USC SS1030 simply states that it's illegal to hack government or banking institutions computers, or attempt to defraud or extort money from a private person. There's more to it than that, but it mainly has to do with government...

    If someone left their facebook open on your computer, is it illegal to look through i

    A friend asked me about it since they know I'm "into computers". I don't believe the e-mail argument would apply to this, since with e-mail, you have a "reasonable right to privacy" since what you write there is not public in any way shape or form. In regards to the husband and wife thing...

    If someone left their facebook open on your computer, is it illegal to look through i

    Terms of Service can really say anything, that doesn't mean that they are not subject to laws which contradict terms of service. Regardless, the terms of service, unless proven to be illegal will simply ban the user from use of their site. As for the whole "access without authorization" part...

    Good 120mm x 38mm fans for push/pull on radiator

    You can use Delta server fans. 120x38 and pump something crazy like 150CFM. All you'd need is one. And they undervolt great, they don't make any noise even when running way undervolted.

    If someone left their facebook open on your computer, is it illegal to look through i

    I'm not talking morals here; I'm talking legality. Some things that are perfectly legal, aren't necessarily morally correct. This is a hypothetical question. I know I should ask on a lawyer forum, but they take forever to answer.

    So as the title states, if someone were to use your laptop to check their facebook, and lets say it's set to auto login, is it illegal to look through their facebook?

    MW3 free weekend --My impressions.

    I seriously think that Far Cry 2 is better. The graphics in FC2, HANDS DOWN, stomp this sorry excuse for a Call of Duty game. I think DeathPrincess said it best: Couldn't agree more. I would like to add, that even though COD:WAW also had perks and levels and all that crap, but it wasn't...

    OK finally got to my rig. I skimmed through your earlier posts and after reading slightly I facepalmed and stopped. So Sorry if I may go over something again. At any rate, lets start out by addressing your choice of stress testers. INTEL Burn Test is an absolutely HORRIBLE stress...

    MW3 free weekend --My impressions.

    Not sure about VAC bans {I don't cheat}, however, if all you're trying to do is increase FOV, can't you just mod the .ini file like in BFBC2?

    MW3 free weekend --My impressions.

    Very good point. Even for a DX9 title, the graphics look like total shit. And I couldn't agree with you more, TW2 and Crysis, graphically, are leaps and bounds better than most games coming out today even with DX10/11 support. And that's the whole point. There was several times where I had lit...

    MW3 free weekend --My impressions.

    Hello there everyone! :D Thought I'd give you my impressions of MW3. I haven't been a fan of the COD series since World at War, but since this game outsold everything in history, I thought I'd give it a try. Now let me preempt this by saying I've been gaming for quite some time --since...

    Mass Effect 3 demo - 2/14/12

    Finally got around to playing the demo yesterday. Here's my impressions so far: The first thing I noticed was the graphic image quality --awesome [in comparison to the other two]. The animations were still decent, no better or worse than the other two. I also really like the sound of the new...

    Croosfire 7970 on a single 120Hz monitor ?

    This is wrong. First off the human eye doesn't see in FPS. Secondly, the human can actually distinguish objects at 1/220th of a second. So if you were to translate that to FPS, that'd be 220FPS. Give this a read, you may find it enlightening.
