From my knowledge of shipping and receiving it is generally customary to put a packing slip in the box. It would have the information you need to contact the vendor or even the manufacturer themselves and return them. It's honestly the right thing to do. That's just a little over $13k in that...

Just wanted to post an update to this and let everyone know I have so far raised $105 out of the $1000 goal I set for myself in the Extra Life charity event. All the money raised goes to children's hospitals all over the world to provide quality medical care for children in low or no income...

Figured some of my fellow [H] members would be down for this. However, I'm not exactly sure this is within forum rules but I didn't see anything specific about posting for charity events so here goes. http://www.extra-life.org/ For more info go to the Extra Life website (URL provided...

Guess what I meant was, if air and closed loop cooling are similarly priced why would you go with air? I would have setup a custom loop at the time but a full watercooled rig is a fair bit MORE expensive and way higher maintenance than just buying a closed loop unit for your CPU. I do have...

Problem being with high end air, you also have to deal with the weight of that giant heatsink constantly putting strain on your board. I'm no stranger to high end air coolers, ran them for years and swore by them. Though if I'm dropping $500 on a motherboard there is no way that I would want to...

They are probably assuming that if you are willing to purchase a top of the line mobo, you'll also invest in a good cooling solution. This board is designed for overclockers, and most of them use watercooling setups. Not all but most, if they're serious about it. Besides, closed loop CPU...

Good news for me, I already have the drivers installed. Just waiting for UPS to deliver my second 7970 and my new 144Hz monitors. Hate that for some reason they almost never deliver to my house before 6pm...

So, here's the deal. I'm looking to upgrade my monitors as a birthday present to myself since most people in my family aren't very tech savvy and wouldn't know what to look for. I currently have: 2x Acer G235HAbd 24", 5ms, 60Hz, 1920x1080 They work well enough and aren't terrible by any...

I would love to see a case with a paint job almost like car and maybe with paint that reacts to certain light spectrums, could make for some really interesting lighting setups as well. Black and a dark metallic red would be way cool, and the same goes for a dark metallic blue or green. Could do...

So Razer has released a mechanical gaming key pad called the Orbweaver. My question is, what type of mechanical keys does it use? I'm assuming MX Blue switches like the Blackwidow Ultimate, but I could be wrong and I couldn't find anything on Google to answer that question. Reason I ask is...

So this is a big head ache for me. I would really like to have the Matrix 7970 Platinum to go with my RIVE board... Sadly it's out of stock or back ordered on NewEgg, Amazon, and everywhere else I look. Anywhere I have seen it in stock it is priced $100 or more over retail value. Is it just...

Lots of good info, thanks a bunch everyone! My old joystick was a Logitech Wingman Extreme 3D and I loved it. Was comfortable and lasted me many many years through all kinds of hours with the X-Wing, TIE Fighter, BF1942, and BF2. Sadly it got lost during some moves the past few years so I...

Good to know. I was really looking at the DCII and a lot of people seem to be having problems overclocking it because of an inability to unlock the voltage. Though if you can reach that kind of overclock on stock voltage that is pretty awesome all on it's own. I would prefer the Matrix but like...

So I'm in the market to buy a 7970. I'm very attracted to ASUS' lineup since I already have the Rampage IV Extreme mobo I'd like to get a video card that goes a long with it. Right now I have an XFX 7950 DD and I'm not very happy with it, first XFX card I haven't been happy with. It's...

This would be totally awesome and would be a nice last piece to complete my PC. I've been thinking about getting a 7970 anyhow, and well having two would be epic. :)

Would be totally awesome if I could find a place that had these in stock without charging $600. If Newegg had one I'd totally swoop on it since it is listed for $499. :) Card would go great with my Rampage IV Extreme.

Not looking for a flight game. Haha. I'm just old school when it comes to flying in games and I can't seem to adapt to flying in BF3 with a mouse and keyboard like a lot of other people do. Not huge on flight sims anymore which is part of the reason I don't have a joystick anymore but I would...

Thinking I should have posted this under the PC Gaming section of this forum. Yay for running on one our of sleep and missing the most obvious things. Sorry if anyone has to move the thread I understand.

So I've been playing Battlefield 3 quite a bit and find myself tiring of being a ground pounder on some days and wishing I could get used to using a mouse and keyboard for flying helos or jets. Sadly it doesn't work for me (I end up barrel rolling the helos and losing control of the jets >_<)...

True. It also has a smaller profile than previous versions. 10.3cm w/ both fans attached so it is friendlier to those who have a CPU socket crowded by tall memory kits. Part of the reason I ended up going with a Corsair H100 is because I couldn't find an air cooler that would do what I wanted...

Thermalright Archon SB-E X2 Product Page I saw this and got very excited and don't see anything on [H] about it. Thermalright has always been my #1 choice for air cooling and I'm very excited and curious to see what the SB-E X2 is capable of.

Everything works perfectly now. Sadly in all the mess my 2TB HDD decided to sacrifice itself for the cause. haha.

Thats the only thing I can think of is that its a conflict in the drivers between the HDMI and DVI ports when they're both in use. Sadly I have to wait to test this theory as none of the stores in my silly ass town sell DVI Splitters or Mini-DP cables for some strange reason. Looks like I may...

So, I've been doing some more reading on my lunch break exploring specifically the issue with using the DVI and HDMI ports on 7000 series cards. Apparently it makes the drivers crash causing similar issues to what I've been experiencing. So after I get off work I'll pickup some Mini-DP cables...

Well, honestly I can't get my head around it. All I've been able to know for sure is that its some kind conflict between the HDMI and DVI ports. Going to see if I can't dig up the appropriate DVI splitter at work or get some Mini-DP cables and just run off of those and see of the results are any...

The only thing I can narrow it down to is the HDMI port. I can run a single monitor off of the HDMI port w/ HDMI to DVI adapter or the DVI port but not both at the same time. As soon as I do it crashes... maybe some kind of conflict running off of two different ports? Makes me wish I'd gotten...

Using Chrome currently.

Currently running stock clocks. I have not tried tweaking voltage or clock speed yet as I wanted to make sure the stock settings were stable before playing around with that. At present I am attempting to re-install 12.8 drivers but it keeps getting stuck at the "Enumerating blah blah" stage...

I seem to be having some trouble with my brand new 7950. :( I upgraded from an XFX 6950 Double D which ran flawlessly but I wanted a PCI-E 3.0 card and decided on the 7950. Before installing my new card I wiped all the old drivers off of my system powered down and installed the card...

Totally want this card. Been having a hell of a time setting aside the cash for it though. The last thing I need to put in my system to. Haha.

So, I'm in the market for some new headphones. Over the years I've been through quite a few sets. I've had the Zalman 5.1's, Turtle Beach 5.1, currently the Razer Meglodon 7.1, and obviously the standard 2.0 headphones. Currently the Razer headphones to me are the best I've experienced so far...

This kind of thing is why I hate Apple and will never buy or own any of their products. I'm not even a big eReader fan as I prefer physical books but still... Apple comes in acting like they revolutionized the market and did so many amazing things when the only thing they've done is charge more...

I would love to see how this compares to the Razer Imperator and Lachesis that I currently own.

In my opinion it all comes down to WoW's engine being a POS. Always has been and always will be.

Don't have to RMA my board! YAY! Got the actual quad channel kit in today and POSTed with 16GB, CPUz sees all 16GB and everything is good to go! HOT DAMN! At least the other kit can go into my old system and still get some use so I didn't totally lose out. Thank you very much for the help from...

Raja thanks for your help. Someone spotted something I missed on my post on the ROG forums. NewEgg happened to be out of stock on the memory I wanted when I ordered so I copy/pasted the part # on Amazon and apparently it came up with a dual-channel kit which is what I'm willing to bet is causing...

Well now that I am at home and have some time I decided to take a screen shot of CPUz, since this little program sees all 16GB of memory and shows that each slot is populated and should possibly answer some questions for those who are offering their assistance. I did unplug the 4-Pin EZplug...

I've had the board for all of 3 days now. I will RMA it through NewEgg first if that ends up being the case. I'm going to try unplugging the 4-pin DIMM power connector when I get home from work since I don't have all 8 DIMM slots populated and see if that does anything, as well as adjust...

Don't honestly think it is a voltage or timing problem myself, but it is worth a shot. Everything looked within mfg spec for voltages and timing. And if I only put in one stick it all works fine in every slot on the board with every stick of memory. So all the slots are good and all the memory...

I put the DIMMs in according to the manual diagram. Slots A1, B1, D1, and C1 (all red slots). Made sure they were seated properly. Tried reseating my CPU already and checked for bent pins. I'm going to try putting the memory in A2, B2, C2, and D2 after work and see if it will run quad-channel...
