Comes in retail box. Forgot to remove the plastic cover for one of the SLI ports - http://imgur.com/a/9EkJY. Shouldn't be a big deal because SLI > 2 GPUs no longer support, and it's electrically isolated. Nothing...

Parting out my old rig. Might consider a bulk deal if someone wants several items.
H100i GTX - $90 Shipped - *sold*
Basically brand new. Used for 2 days to verify temps vs another cooling solution on another build.

Within the last two weeks, my system has been randomly restarting on me. Sometimes it's within 5 minutes of restarting the last time, and sometimes it's hours later with an average of probably twice a day. It's not logged in event viewer as an error or anything. I haven't changed anything about...
I want to get rid of one of the 7970s because I haven't played any fullscreen games in a while, and Xfire is a waste if you're not fullscreen. I have two Sapphire 7970s - 11197-01 and 11197-03. 01 is obviously reference PCB and it has a higher ASIC quality at 73% where my 11197-03 is newer...
Right now my modem and wireless router are near my desktop. I use ethernet to my desktop, and I receive wireless with my Xbox One. There are moments of latency that are really annoying that I think I can attribute to the connection being wireless instead of wired. So I have a few options:
1)...
What method do you guys use to grab and stream videos from your desktop computer to your HTPC? Both are Win 7 for me? Homegroup is an option, but I'm forced to move the individual movie over to the OS drive to stream to my HTPC if I want to use it. Is there a way to give my HTPC access to the...
I'm looking to break my RAID0 and move my current Windows 7 OS install to a single SSD currently in that RAID0, using the second for my HTPC I'm currently working on. Is there a safe way to do that? I'm thinking it should be easier than HDD -> SSD since the drivers would be the same, but I'm not...
I recently purchased a second 7970 for CFX, and I've been having some issues with the drivers. Initially, I thought waking up to a computer that had no hard drive activity light blinking and wouldn't wake up (but I heard the fans) was a result of bad drivers, so I've been troubleshooting that. I...
So I recently purchased a second 7970 after the big sales and wanted to check in with more experienced people than myself if some of the behavior I'm seeing is normal.
Things I've learned:
-Crossfire only works in Fullscreen mode. I had no idea.
-Disable all instances of EnableULPS...
I'm looking for an mini-ITX FM2 board for an upcoming HTPC build (apparently it might support Kaveri as well?)
Anyways, I'm looking for a recommendation for a nice board with HDMI out, plenty of USB3, possibly even WiFi included.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Anyone have trouble with artificacting using the iGPU of SB? I have one monitor plugged into the HDMI out of my Sabertooth Z77 using the iGPU and one monitor plugged into my 7970. When both are plugged into my 7970, there are no problems, but when I switch the lower res monitor over to the iGPU...
I've recently noticed my 7970 make much more noise than usual. I've gotten some coil/cap whine in the past, but this is far worse. When I switch to certain webpages, I get 1-3s of squealing that slows my computer down immensely. I can see the current spike with GPU-Z. It's not going particularly...
I have two identical, erased Sandisk 120GB SSDs that I want to RAID0. I only have them connected to the 6gb ports and my cd-rom drive connected to the last SATA port. I've selected RAID in my BIOS, but I can't pull up the utility to create the RAID by pressing cntrl+1. It's not doing anything...
I recently added my Sapphire OC 7970 with 12.4 Drivers. I had a problem with the desktop showing up under a couple of different conditions and was forced to restart. A couple of times I've seen this during boot. I have not ever seen this once the OS is going.
Is this a driver problem? I...
So from GPU-Z I see that the VDDC on my 7970 lowers to .85V at idle and goes back up at a load. The curious thing is that by plugging in a second monitor (first DVI, second HDMI, works both ways), the VDDC goes back up to 1.1V and starts pulling 26A... with no load...
Is this a known issue...
I'm considering the possibility of returning my sapphire 7970 to newegg because of extensive coil whine. Has anyone does this before? Am I going to get charged a restocking fee?

Is it safe to assume half the effective framerate for a given card at a given resolution vs a 60Hz monitor? I see almost all benches using 60Hz monitors and would like to have an idea of performance at 120Hz.
I'm trying to test my AP-15s to see why one intake reads as 1850 rpm while the other reads as 1775 rpm. What does the sense signal look like? Would I need a oscilloscope to see it or is it a DC voltage?
I feel like i'm getting beat frequencies, and I want to test my own sanity :D
So I picked up an i5-2550k at microcenter for $145 yesterday. I was planning on grabbing an i7-3770k at release, but this little deal happened...
Given the fact that I only really game on my computer, someone try to convince me to stick with this i5 instead of going IB. Money really isn't a...
What opinions do you guys have on one of these vs another? All three of these look like good candidates. All three run really quiet and really cool. Is there anything that sways your opinion?

Have you guys ever experienced a situation where you here significant background noise when playing a game? I specifically mention playing a game because I do not hear the noise when sitting on desktop, chrome, etc. But when I open up SC2 or BLC or other games, I immediately hear this background...
For those of who who don't want to buy 6+ fans from the other thread, this one may be for you.

I've been out of the loop for a while. When 2700k was released, did MC immediately offer their mobo deals? I have one nearby, and I'm wondering if that sort of thing is worth waiting for?

I will be building an IB system when the chips are available, but I've started stocking up on parts with good deals for the build. I grabbed the H100 a couple of days ago. I would like to test it to see if there are any pump problems, so I can RMA before I even have the CPU. I don't want to...
Great deal at Newegg going on right now:

How do you know if you're running Directx11 without installing any games? I recently upgraded to a 5770 but never downloaded something specific for DX11. Does it automatically install it with games? How does all that work?
Thanks.
Is this card reference? I want an XFX 5850, and I read that the reference cards overclock better. Tigerdirect has a bundle deal that includes this card, and I'm wondering if it's worth it.
Currently I have the ASUS. I'm going to have to return it because I have an issue with one of the USB ports. It shows an error in Windows 7 x64.
SO what do you guys think about the MSI vs the ASUS? I can get the MSI for about $50 cheaper because of the rebate, but apparently its USB ports...
I want to run a CPU benchmark and compare after I finish ocing, but my gpu is crap right now until I find a good deal on a 5850.
What is the best CPU only benchmark that I can use (for free :P)?
