    Looking for recommendations for a new mouse.

    [H]ello everyone. My mouse's left click is currently dying, and I'm ready for a new mouse. Ideally I'd like to spend no more than $100 USD. I don't have any one genre of games I play more than any other; my play time is pretty balanced between MMOs, FPS, and RTS-type games. As far as features...

    R.A.T. 7 is dying, may need to replace...

    My beloved RAT7 that I have owned and used thoroughly for the past ~2.5 years may be on its way out. The left click feels and sounds oh so weak, almost like a death rattle. As the days go by, the left click feels weaker and weaker, to the point where one day I feel it may go down, never to rise...

    HD 6970 CF or 660 Ti?

    So I have a friend that wants to buy from me my 2 HD 6970's that I just replaced to replace his 2 HD 6850's. I was thinking I'd just cut the price in half from what I bought them for, since on Ebay I see them going for around $200 still. This would bring it to ~325, but in thinking about it, I...

    Seagate ST4000DM000 won't initialize

    Windows 7 and it was wrapped in brown paper in a white box wrapped with about 100 yards of bubble wrap. Think I'll go start the RMA process :(

    Seagate ST4000DM000 won't initialize

    Yeah that's what I'm sayin. I really don't want to have to RMA this already, I'm still thinking maybe there's something I'm missing.

    Seagate ST4000DM000 won't initialize

    Sorry, I have it plugged into one of the Grey ports, but also tried having it plugged into a brown one, still no dice. It's back in the grey port right now though. You were right about the BIOS update, it was pretty out of date, but after flashing to the newest BIOS I still am coming up with the...

    Seagate ST4000DM000 won't initialize

    I connected it to a SATA 6gb/s port on the motherboard, drivers are up to date.

    Seagate ST4000DM000 won't initialize

    Didn't mention my specs, for some reason I thought they were at least in my sig (which I actually don't even have). P67 Sabertooth i7-2600k Intel 128GB SSD Samsung Spinpoint 1 TB and 2 TB The problem is it won't partition. I know to use GPT, I try to do this in Disk Management but it...

    Seagate ST4000DM000 won't initialize

    So I just bought a Seagate 4TB and threw it into my desktop. Upon booting, the computer hung up a little bit after POST, but eventually it booted up normally. It then told me the drivers installed correctly, and sure enough the hard drive shows up in my device manager, but when I go to Disk...

    PSU for 2 x eVGA GTX Titan superclock signature

    I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I didn't really feel a new thread as necessary. I have a very similar build and just ordered myself a pair of Titans. The only difference in builds is I have a Silverstone ST1000-P 1000W Plus Silver power supply. Should be more than enough for a couple...

    DVI-D Source to DVI-I Monitor?

    So I'm considering seeing if I can get a GTX Titan or two. I run 3 Dell UH2311H's, which have Displayport and DVI inputs. However, the Titan has a DVI-I as well as a DVI-D output. Would the DVI-I still fit into the DVI-D output? Or should I just get a DVI-D to DVI-I cable?

    Steelseries looking for keyboard input on new design. What does [H] think?

    Holy crap, and I thought I paid a lot for my Das Model S Pro, with the Cherry Blues no less. Which, by the way, has none of the fancy stuff on it, and yet still I would prefer it 100 times over to what I'm seeing here, for gaming or otherwise. No one needs a detachable cable like that, no one's...

    GeForce 306.97 WHQL Drivers

    Getting a weird error while trying to install the new drivers. It asks me where to install them, I tell it where to install and it tells me Non 7z archive and that's it, won't let me install. Any suggestions?

    Accessing BIOS on Asus G55

    Does anyone here know how to access BIOS on an Asus G55? I start up the laptop and it never tells me on any of the screens which key to hit to enter bios (though I can hit ctrl+I to adjust my RAID settings). I've tried Delete, all the F keys, the ROG button next tot he power button, it just...

    New PC for parents

    That is a pretty insane deal, but when it takes me to the Dell website it gives me a price tag of 630, which is a little over budget. Not really too bad tbh but still, the parents don't have all that much to spend. I figure doing it myself always gets you more than you'd get from a pre-built pc...

    New PC for parents

    1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Mostly web browsing and Skype, it's for parents, no gaming whatsoever (unless Facebook counts) 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Ideally 300-400 USD 3) Which country do you live in? If the...

    Looking for a new Laptop

    Well quiet really isn't too much of an issue (99% of the time I use my laptop is for gaming on the go with a headset anyway so I can't really hear it). I would expect it to be relatively cool since it's not a super thin case or anything. I have a decent cooling pad anyway which I will be using...

    Looking for a new Laptop

    I'm in the market for a new latop. There's really no questionnaire like there is in the desktop thread so I'll do my best to provide as much information as possible. My budget is around $1300, give or take 100. I'm looking for a laptop with a 15.6" screen (round abouts), Ivy Bridge CPU...

    Total Steam library size

    So after adding up all my uninstalled games with games that are already installed, it all comes out to 562 GB needed. However there are games I've played / games already installed that require internet connections that wouldn't carry over, so I'm confident I can shave that to 510 GB. So a laptop...

    Total Steam library size

    This is all very true. I did start to just highlight, hit enter, add on a calculator, then x out. It isn't actually taking that long, but with the 123GB already installed, from A to Elder scrolls oblivion, I need another 105 GB :/ Which admittedly isn't as much as I thought it was going to take...

    Total Steam library size

    Well that's the thing, I don't have the whole thing installed on my desktop. I'm more or less saving them up. Right now I have 22 games installed that are all taking up a total of 123 GB. I could individually go to install each game and just add up the needed HD space, but that would take...

    Total Steam library size

    Is there a way to view how much hard drive space would be needed to install your entire Steam Library? I'm getting ready for a deployment to Afghanistan and I'm looking to purchase a new laptop and DL the entirety of my Steam library to it (I've been collecting through various sales they've had...

    Preparing for an overseas deployment....

    I wasn't sure where to put this so I just put it in general since it concerns both hardware purchasing and advice on application usage. So sometime later this year I'll be headed overseas for a second rotation. One thing that is important to me for a deployment is having a good reliable...

    Das Keyboard

    I've had my Das Professional for close to 6 months now, with the Blue switches. I love this keyboard, and have since I first bought it. Gaming is awesome with it, typing is awesome with it. The keys feel amazing, the sound is excellent. You won't be disappointed (except maybe with the price tag...

    P8P67-M onboard audio not working

    I can't seem to get my onboard audio to work. The drivers are as up to date as I can get them, there's no other sound card, it's enabled in the bios. Whenever I plug speakers or headphones in it does nothing. In the play ack devices, all it shows is an HDMI audio output and that's it, nothing...

    All sorts of issues on clean install of 7

    Well this time everything seems to be working nicely, except i can't get the speakers on the monitor to work. I have the audio line in plugged into the right ports, but it's not being recognized :/ should I make another post in a different sub forum?

    All sorts of issues on clean install of 7

    Yeah I can't even run those if I tried. All the ram registers as being there. The solid state seems to be working. I just decided to wipe it and try again. Maybe I messed up somewhere along the line somehow and somehow caught a virus. Don't see how since it barely had access to the Internet...

    All sorts of issues on clean install of 7

    So I just built a new pc. I installed windows 7. Went through the process of installing all the drivers the motherboard, video card drivers, updated windows. Restart. Common stuff. Upon the first restart, I go to hit the windows button. Nothing happens. My cursor turns into the little circle and...

    Build new or upgrade?

    Alright so I'm deciding to build from scratch now. I'll be getting the i5-2500K, some 8BG of RAM, the HD 6870, and some other odds and ends, but how about a decently good budget motherboard that'll let me overclock the i5 a little? Not too much, a few hundred MHz just for the lulz more or less...

    Build new or upgrade?

    As far a games we'll play, basically anything that strikes our fancy. She's not too into first person shooters so that's out. Guild wars 2 down the line will be another good one. But nothing "Crysis"-ish if you catch what I'm saying. She also enjoys the sims. As far as I know, the E8400 is...

    Build new or upgrade?

    By light I mean occasional, though medium or high ish settings would be decent. I was thinking to upgrade to an HD 6870 regardless. It'll be on one monitor, 1080p probably since like every monitor now adays is 1080p. My real issue is whether or not to upgrade the core components, if it would be...

    Is 3D really that great?

    You know, just recently I ran into the decision of either building a system around the idea of 3D or around Eyefinity. In the end I chose Eyefinity. I mean honestly, having 5760x1080 resolution is flippin sweet. And support for triple monitor gaming is on the rise (a lot faster it seems than...

    P67 Sabertooth two-step boot fix

    I'm not sure if this needs to be posted, but I understand a lot of users using Asus P67 boards (the Sabertooth in particular) are having the two-step boot issue. I fixed mine and thought I'd share here so others might find this and use it to help them. -In the UEFI, I went to Advanced -> APM...

    Multi-tasking with Eyefinity?

    Gotchya. Yeah some games don't really work with eyefinity. For example, wow will only do DX11 in 1080p and not in eyefinity. I guess windowed mode will do just fine
