    Texture Shimmering/Artifacts on AMD GPU's

    I think you should stop adding fuel to the mayhem... really, none of that has anything to do with the OP. Please don't cause this thread to be locked as some people (excluding you) have took the time and effort to give out there experiences in this thread. And I'm not replying to the guy above...

    CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W $89.99 - $20 Coupon Code - $20 MIR

    Actually, that's not a fault of the PSU but the fan used on it. It uses the Yate Loon D12-BH14, which is a pretty shitty fan that's known to have loud bearing noise and rattle/click or early fail. It's plagued many units beginning with the old TT ToughPower's, HX1000's, AX1200's and still...

    FS: Tippmann 98 Custom (All factory) $100 Shipped OBO

    Actually, the Tippmann 98 sometimes just gets it's barrel stuck like the AK-47. You have to empty the pressured air in such case, which may end up with getting shot badly while you're trying to sneak behind a tree... though, yeah, I agree that these are some of the most common, and the hardest...

    A bit too expensive but this indeed is a nice unit. Built by SeaSonic and is the same unit as the M12 II 650.

    Upgrade to liquid cooling or stay with HSF? i5-2500K to i7-3770K

    Why would it be more noisy? It uses 14mm fans unlike the regular V8, it's expect it to be the other way around. But yes, you're right that the V8 wasn't the best cooler around, especially for the price. However, it was a pretty good cooler and that $18 comes from the superior build quality...

    So you're putting custom titles over people to your liking? Who gives you the right to do this nonsense?

    Since I don't know who, in my God's name, the fucking coward, put this title, I'm going to have to do a public callout. Whoever did this, come back like a man and stand behind your shit. This is just cheap.

    . Nothing to do with being a nerd. If you ever played in a net cafe and owned someone, you'd know how it feels to look back from your monitor to the guy you owned. It's a much better feeling than playing online.

    Bad mobo or ps?

    If the board is leaving you with black screen and just the fans working, then it's probably shot. You might look into a second hand X58 or one from the eVGA B-Stock. Though, it wouldn't hurt to just pack up that inefficient setup and go Ivy.

    Inexpensive dedicated storage without ZFS?

    You'd be lucky to get anything JoeBob a.k.a Jim Williams says... guy is a schmoe. Every thread he posts in turns into some pointless discussion that's unrelated to the OP.

    Recommendations for gaming mouse

    It doesn't track as well as an another mouse when you go around painting circles in Paint. It consistantly skips to track properly when the acquisation force is high, as in, moving the mouse as fast as possible. And the z-axis bug it has is very annoying. You hold up the mouse, then put back...

    Advice Please. Is this Prolimatech mk-26 on 7970 With Mod Safe?

    Get some sort of rope to balance the weight of the cooler to the upwards of the case, tie one end to one of the screw openings of the card, and the other end into the PSU area and try to pull it up. Then get some 38mm thick higher speed fans since you're doing with single GPU and haul ass.

    Headphone amp , for gaming rig.

    I'm not completely sure how the Phoebus compares to the STX to be honest, since I only checked out it's PCB. But the Phoebus shits over the Titanium HD. The Titanium HD is full of solid caps thrown across which are NOT suited for audio, where as the Pheobus uses Nichicon Fine-Gold audio caps...

    Looking for server parts

    Since a server works more and longer than a desktop, I'd suggest an SSD with a long warranty. OWC offers a 7 year warranty on some of their drives, which is the longest warranty to come on an SSD yet.

    Upgrade to liquid cooling or stay with HSF? i5-2500K to i7-3770K

    And why is that? The V8 was a great cooler so was the V6GT. I think you're mixing up your stuff with the V10 which had a TEC and sucked shit.

    Bad mobo or ps?

    Not plugging in the 8-pin EPS shouldn't kill the board, but it there's still a chance it might have. The R2E wasn't the most reliable board around with a hot running chipset from what I heard. And just dying and leaving black screen seems to be a thing with some old Asus boards as I had a...

    You might want to look into the Storm Xornet if you prefer claw-grip. Or the Storm Recon if you want it to be palm-grip. Those two feature the best sensor around.

    Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SSD Review @ [H]

    It's using Toshiba flash and is a pretty good drive so why not? Unlike most SandForce's with Intel ONFI flash. It's not like SandForce is slow or anything. They're still fast all in and out with over 500 MB/s R/W. And 1.36W to 0.31W? Seriously? That's splitting hairs. Even for a notebook with a...

    Western Digital external hard drives won't go into sleep mode anymore

    Doesn't those things already close themselves after 5 minutes of idling? I have a MyBook 250GB do that all the time and it used to get on my nerves. The firmware on them from factory should be set to sleep after some time, but if you changed the partition tables on it, then it may just act...

    No, it isn't. The "cyborg look" you're referring is a thing of R.A.T mice, which are plagued with that shitty PTE sensor anyway. If you go down the routes of gaming mice, down to the Razer Boomerang, the point of gaming mice was to provide better performance and useability. The looks are...

    Depends on the switch. The Omron D2FC-F-7N used on the Habu, DeathAdder etc. is most famous for that "double click of death". Some other Omron switches, especially newer ones, on the other hand, are solid Japan made switches.

    The Fermi based 675M is less cut down when compared on "GPU cutting down level" to the 675MX. The 675MX has more stuff disabled and is more underclocked, which is just pointless because it's a more efficient GPU. It's some sort of cutting down and watering down the product when it has the...

    Then you're thinking of it wrong. A fan controller isn't something "most people" have. It's an extra for most, not a normality. Most people just do with what they have in their hand.
