    ZR30w vs U3011

    So, price not an issue. Which would you get? Primary use will be gaming and browsing the web, watching movies and such. I was set to get the HP, but the lack of a bright pixel guarantee is really, REALLY worrying me. Plus I hear it has flickering and buzzing problems. Also, for only 75...

    Recommend me a UPS

    Specs are in sig. I was poking around newegg but I really do not know what I am looking for. I assume I would need a 1kw unit if the power were to go when I am gaming, as my PSU has a max wall draw of around that. I would just have the PC and my main monitor on the UPS itself. I would rather...

    Physx not working?

    I am crossposting this from the PPU forum since it is dead: Specs are in sig: Turning physx on my 250 on or off I see no difference in any physx benchmark or game. What gives?

    Favorite GPU you have owned?

    What has been your favorite GPU you have ever owned? For me it has to be the 6800 ultra extreme that I got for 20 bucks from some idiot in early 2005. Remember when that was sexy? (and also when that was a large heatsink :D:D) EDIT: BTW, this is still running strong in the same box it was...

    Windows 7 cannot write to external HDD

    Okay, I am turning to you guys because this is getting ridiculous. I cannot get file write permission for my external HDD. At all. I have tried the almighty take ownership script, editing the permissions, but the drive refuses to come off read only no matter what I do. I can make folders, but I...

    F@H is really messing up my drivers..

    I want to fold, I really do, but at this rate it will never happen. GPU folding runs fine for a few hours then it crashes my PC. All the time. When I boot up again it managed to really fuck up my drivers somehow to the point where my GPU's will say they are running at 100%, but they don't. No...

    Using Phsyx card for folding

    Specs are in my sig. I don't want to use both 280's because I would have to keep turning SLI on and off and that is a pain in my ass. I currently have folding running on the non-display SLI card. The 250 is just chilling there. Is this possible?

    Horrific BC2 performance after a reinstall

    I reinstalled win7 today, and went to go play BC2 30 minutes ago. Same settings as before that used to give me silky smooth action, I am getting maybe 10-15 fps average. My specs are in my sig, and I know I can max this damned game. What gives? I was playing mirror's edge an hours ago and it ran...

    Took your advice...

    I posted this hellish pic a week ago: http://i.imgur.com/vPxXj.jpg Well, I took your advice, and moved the HDD's to the spare drive bays, and removed one DVD burner I wasn't using anyway. I also got a new PSU because that one was pretty much DOA, and luck would have it me getting a...

    Well I'll be damned...(i5 OC)

Leaving this on for the foreseeable future to see how it hold up. I would love to see how far I could go with a prolimatech...

    PC issue, no post, no power, no nothing.

    This is odd. Last night I went to sleep and put my PC into sleep mode as well. I wake up this morning, hit enter and the pc refuses to wake, just spins up and down the fans constantly like it is trying. So I shut it off via the PSU because the power button is not working. Now the PC will not...

    A cooling nightmare...

    What the hell can I do with this? http://i.imgur.com/UqqmM.jpg My case is far too small for what is in it. The CPU is fine, but those GPU's can get uncomfortably toasty. I upgraded the intake and exhaust fans with Sythe Slipstream 1900rpm fans. And took one of the old crap fans, and use...

    Cannot get SLI to work

    My specs are in my sig. Right now I have the cards as EVGA 280, BFG 280, GTS250. The sli bridge is on. Windows picks up the BFG card (the one I just added), but tells me there is a driver issue. Nvidia control panel won't pop up an SLI option, and GPUz doesnt show the second 280. Is there a...

    Weird lock up, possibly ram related?

    Specs are in my sig (minus one 280 atm). So, 30 minutes ago my screen froze, the music I was listening to stopped and my speakers wailed from the high heavens making a deafening screech. I wasn't doing anything intense, just music and browsing the web. The front power button was ineffective...

    Turbo mode not working?

    My specs are in my sig. I just upgraded to an i5 750 today. I noticed while I am maxing one core out, the clock is not increasing as told via cpu-z. Whats up with that? Do I have to manually enable it?

    Future thoughts

    Not like I am upgrading any time soon, this is just me thinking out loud. Figure conversation is always good. So, I have a, evga 280scc, just bought a gts250 to use as a physx card. Wonder where I will be going from here? Another 280 down the road (only like 200ish on the bay)? Sell the 280 and...
