You know, I'm still using one of these, and I've never had any problems with it, and it was really, really, really easy to set up. I know a lot of people have had problems with the corsair coolers, but I haven't, and I've used it to overclock my cpu quite a bit.

Are you willing to make it a bit of a home project? Because if you are then the steps are actually pretty simple. 1) Buy the case you think just looks the best and is the right size for your needs. 2) Buy orange hobby paint and brushes or orange spray paint. Also purchase white or blue masking...

I have never had an optical drive in my gaming rig. I have a portable optical drive that plugs into USB that I use to set up new OS's and what-have-you. But otherwise, I never see the need for a permanent optical drive installation on any rig I've built.

I don't know much here, but what I know about League of Legends and its e-sports program is that officially speaking they frown upon drug use of any kind, especially during competitive play. However, there are teams and specific players who seem to enjoy expressing their love for pot who seem to...

... lol. That profile isn't me mate! The witch hunt is real tho! I'm kinda blown away by these stats. Regardless, its not like we're super competitive or anything. Just slow and uber careful. And we don't go into the heart of land wars either. We fight in the fringe zones where there's only...

Wattttttttttt Well crap dude I'm glad it works now. I was kind of worried we'd stumbled upon some sort of black hole where problems go and no solutions could be found or something. Thanks for the response tho! I'ma bookmark this just in case this ever happens to me!

Sounds like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed mate! But basically you don't need special software to see your hardware output devices and organize audio outputs through them. Even just the windows audio settings will show both cards and what audio is being directed through them as well as...

Have you tried forcing a system dump to try and find the exact error after it locks up? Like when you restart it, dump everything and look for the event logs. In there, after some dedicated searching, you might be able to find an error code on write or something that would tell you what started...

I've never used software to split outputs, but I'd like to second the motion to use two soundcards. Simply split up your outputs via the hardware and it'd work the way you wanted it to because you can then assign the output sources of your choice to each of the individual audio output cards...

My old downtown loft apartment had dimmers in every room and my wifi worked fine. Never had any issues with wireless connectivity. Basically as long as the dimmers aren't set to the same band that the other wireless devices are running through, you don't run into any trouble that I know of. At...

I've done a fair amount of playing on Planetside 2. What me and my roommates like doing is organizing ourselves together to be a small mercenary group. We've got a dedicated sniper, two assault class types, one support type, and love rolling up to bases with our vehicles, stopping just over a...

My personal list for things like this comes from lan parties that my high school computer tech teacher would let me host in his computer room, so the playlist was basically designed around the idea that those computers were pretty hardware-limited. Unreal Tournament is hella fun on crap rigs...

Personally, running 6970's in xfire with newest catalyst beta drivers and I still haven't had any major issues. The most problematic thing I've ever encountered is that ATI/AMD drivers do not like to work with a lot of forced hardware acceleration runtimes in mods for games like Skyrim and Final...

I wouldn't feel too bad. This is a laptop we are talking about here, not a homebuilt gaming rig. As to your question, the only major issue I could think of off the top of my head would be your processor's inability to process the video recording at the proper framerate simply due to its dated...

Seems like every facet they are advertising as an improvement, is an advertised selling point of the new CryEngine. :P

Been a long time fan of this game. I would love to see a sequel, though, honestly, there probably wouldn't be one. The only surviving developer of the game (Spiral House) is very quickly flopping in the industry. Their most recent "semi-seller" was "Blur" and "Alone in the Dark" but those two...

I have two reference sapphire 6970's running in crossfire and I'm also using 13.5 drivers, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat is running just fine with those, modded and vanilla. Just checked... My sig should have all my updated system info. It's probably relatively similar to yours. I'm...

Honestly this game appears to be everything I wanted Castle Crashers to be. :P

Watched an early sneak peek, and a couple of lets plays, and as usual, I feel myself desiring this game like no other. So excited to pick it up.

Alright, since I said I would post my results in general in this thread, here are my opinions on Misery 2.0: Graphics: For the most part, graphics have been overhauled fairly well, but high resolution textures in the environment, or entire texture rebuilds (such as I have seen from other...

Sounds good man, lookin forward to the vid! Also, we need to know what drivers you are using and what revision numbers they are for your GPU. I can search through logs on those drivers to see if anything might cross apply to the issue you are having.

I just installed this and I'm really excited to try it tonight. I'll probably fraps a video and post the link here so we can get a good in game lets play of all the cool new shtuff.

Does it suddenly slow down, or does it seem to "chug" consistently? Can you FRAPS a video for us to see? You've got a beefy enough CPU to easily take a FRAPS video that would capture the issue happening if it stutters in the slightest.

Honestly, buy an H70 Liquid cooler and strap it onto your phenom 955, ($80 investment), and you'll get a sweet overclock out of as much heat as you can pull off your cpu. Next, swap your 8GB of ram up to 12GB, and either add a second 6870, OR, sell the 6870, and buy two 6950's. In XFire the 50's...

I've been interested in the development of it, but I'm honestly not sure if it's for me so far. There are some gameplay videos up and whatnot as well right now, but they still don't quite float my boat.

Alright, well the 2 features I noticed were most improved were in facial mapping and geometry. If you'll notice, during the section with the statue of liberty heads, the developer was able to demo being able to instantly set up scaling profiles for different levels of performance, the highest...

Honestly, when looking into upgrades myself a few months back, I upgraded from two 8800 GTS to two 6950's unlocked to 6970's. The 50's versus the 70's aren't a GIGANTIC jump, but it is noticeable, and right now the 70's can be found relatively cheaply in trades and whatnot. I'm thinkin if you...

Should be fine so long as your driver software is up to date. Posted from Hardforum.com App for Android

Oh god, man! Why would you put yourself through this? You knew the risks, yet you did it anyway, floaty non-startmenu taskbar lovin, battlefield trollin, cloud headed hooligan! Seriously though, i almost puked in my mouth when i saw battlefield 3 and internet explorer 8 in the same sentence. XD...

I'll vouch for Direfox here. Logic is sound.

TBH, if you want to seriously cut power draw and heat simultaneously, look into mid range amd cards and budget revision nvidia like the 560ti etc

I would do another budget crossfire setup, personally. Spend like 300 bucks on unlockable 6950's or 6970's and you'll save almost that much while remaining future proofed for a couple more years. As for your cpu, to make sure that keeps pace, get either a VERY strong air cooler, (I've been using...

Alright, well I'm working on picking up a 650watt+ PSU to handle these older cards in Xfire and give me a little more headroom. I won't be sinking money on a 1000watt or anything of that nature until I have the money for top grade AMD 7XXX cards and Nvidia 6XX, depending on how they come out...

Hey, title is pretty self explanatory. Will this be a decent upgrade? My current resolution on my 19" monitor is 1440 x 900, which is extremely small, I know. My current rig is in my sig, and I'm looking at budget gaming for playable BF3 and MW3. I wont have enough money to really future proof...

I agree. PC is where Crysis 2 should have focused. I was a little upset when I looked and saw sprites in trees and extremely limited polygons on highest settings. I really was expecting more, which I felt was fair, considering the standard that was set with Crysis.

Sure, I don't personally use Sandy, but I can see that. thanks for pointing that out. I was just spitting out the best general overview I could and didn't mean to overstep. Thanks for the correction. Plenty of people are getting decent speeds on Air with sandy, which will likely work for you, OP.

First off, look for a compatible mobo for your processor. Obviously, you need the cpu socket type to match. Also, you probably want a mobo with multiple PCI-E slots (more than just two), so that you can have room for expansion and as a double benefit more room for air when you have just one card...

I want to take my 920 to 4.0ghz. Child's play, right? Not exactly. I want to run the CPU cool(ish) at that speed, so that I can maximize its lifespan to get me through till I have enough money saved up for the next generation. Currently, the CPU hangs around 47-67C depending on load, and...

If the southern islands turn out to be as fantastic as I hear, they may become my next upgrade. New PSU willing, of course. My cooler master 500 really sucks, and not in a beneficial fashion. But it's good to hear that currently developing games like BF3 are probably running decently on the...

No worries, I am upgrading my PSU before I even install the new 5870. I'm looking towards an XFX XXX Edition semi modular 80 Silver 750watt to handle all my power needs for a little while for just 40 bucks more.
