    Corsair "Barebones" Christmas Giveaway!

    I like corsair because their PSU's are rock solid and their cases have an amazing attention to detail and cable management.

    Corsair Giveaway - Force Series™ GT 180GB Solid-State Hard Drive

    I need a corsair SSD because my hard drive is going out on my gaming rig and I have no money to purchase a hard drive with the skyrocketing prices of HD's.

    I love AMD because my 16 Core Opteron setup runs like a dream... and for less than 1000 too. (not game box.. my mega VM box)

    Ok, in regards to people recommending to get the second 8 pin off the 12v rail, does everyone agree with this? Is this necessary concidering my power supply and my compnenets? Here is a list of everything: Asus KGPE-D16 2x Opteron 6128 8-core 32GB Patriot Sector 5 DDR1600 1 IDE DVDRW...

    x2 Opteron 6128 build no post :(

    Well son of a bitch.. it was the adapter.. I made sure my processors were of the same stepping and then replaced the adapter with the one I just purchased from Fry's. Booted up quickly with no issues. I knew if I came on the hardforum someone would either know or jog my memory. Thanks to...

    x2 Opteron 6128 build no post :(

    ok.. I also want to clarify something and see what you think. With the current adapter (molex to 8-pin), it appears to be providing perfect power for a 1 CPU configuration. Could it be fine for 1 CPU but not be fine for 2 CPU's? I would assume if it was broken then it wouldn't even power on...

    x2 Opteron 6128 build no post :(

    oh man.. I wish. just bought the 750W last week before I started the build though... So you are saying that you had the exact same issue? No post? Just fans spinning up? And you unpluged the adapter? Did you unplug it an replace it with a power supply that had multiple 8-pin connectors?

    x2 Opteron 6128 build no post :(

    I guess great minds think alike. I just got back from frys with another 8 pin splitter. I currently have a 8 pin from molex converter but it is real cheapand one of the pins popped out. I popped it in with no issue but seeing that that adapter is a constant variable in my entire...

    x2 Opteron 6128 build no post :(

    I'll try to make this long story short. I received a Asus DGPE-D16 and 2 Opteron 6128 (8 core) from the egg. Along with it I also purchased 32G of regular DDR3 (which the board supports), a Rosewill server case, and a 750W Antec Earthwatts. I put together everything and powered it on...

    Refurbed Corsair 128gb SSD $129.99 at tigerdirect.com

    naw.. more like 256GB of raid action. The word redundant is not really synonomous with "fault tolerance". I think you might be thinking of RAID 1

    Accidentally deleted a HDD

    From what I know.. as long as you do not write any data.. every byte of data should be recoverable. I have used getdataback pro.. and it has done the job before. As far as formatting though.. an undelete program should be able to survive a full format, but I do not know about 2 of them. How...

    Warm? Quad layer 128GB/disc Pioneer BDR-206 Blu Ray Burner $199 @ Frys

    I love it.. 199 for the burner, but the cheapest I could find on large bluray writables is 109$ for a 3 layer 100GB disk... wonder how longer it will take to get down to 75 cents a disk. :p

    40" 1080P Toshiba 40FT1U LCD TV $399 + tax @ BestBuy Friday/Saturday Nov 12-13 only

    See.. that last part defeats your whole argument. Some of us actually have a wall about 3-4 feet away from our faces, and to have a 32" 1080p would be perfect for games and internet browsing. Of course if someone is 2 feet away, they would be stupid for getting a 40". I guess... "The only...

    Sony Has A PlayStation Phone in the Works?

    I don't know what is so horrible about this.. Just because the PSP Go was a failure (was it?), I think this phone would be pretty shit kickin. I would gladly give away my slide out keyboard on my Touch Pro 2 for a d pad and gaming buttons. Mainly for the emu games. And seeing that there is a...

    There are waaaay to many idiots in this thread. For those of you who think that 120hz sets are future proofing you, please do me a favor.. Hook up your computer to the TV and set the display setting to 120hz. Ohhhh.. that's right you can't.. because you don't have a 120hz display. Just...

    Radeon 5850 Availabilty

    I walked right into Frys and purchased mine right off the shelf. I think I bought the last one at the Plano TX store. They said they were getting more in today so I assume if you are still looking I'd try Frys.

    Is the new 5870 pointless on anything less than an i7?

    If all of the other games didn't see such a significant boost I would have been likely to agree with you. In this case it was mainly Need for Speed Shift. In fact it was running choppy and smooth at the same time. Just bad studdering. Crysis, Red Faction Guerrilla, Grand Theft Auto, and...

    Is the new 5870 pointless on anything less than an i7?

    After playing with my 5870 all weekend.. here is my story about CPU and bottlenecking.. I have a Q6600 overclocked to ~3.1-3.2GHz... but when I installed my 5870 I noticed Need for Speed Shift was not running as well as I thought it would. I had it set at 1920x1080, 2xAA, and everything up...

    Getting a little "hitching" in WoW on my new 5870

    It does not hurt your computer, but you will not be able to see the events in your event viewer if you ever use it to troubleshoot anything. It definitely doesn't hurt if you try it once and see if that is the issue. It most likely will not be but it would be a good idea to try. Hope it works...

    Getting a little "hitching" in WoW on my new 5870

    I know this might sounds weird but I had this same issue with Grand Theft Auto IV. First thing you have to do is turn you graphics down to something very low. If you still experience the hiccups then you know it is not the vid card. If lowering your graphics fixes the problem then it is a...

    5870 X2 pics!

    That article is @ 3.0GHz, not 4. His 4GHz would still cut it.. and the processor they were comparing it to was a $900+ processor. You match it against the 920 and you will probably have some different results.

    Asus 5870 just came up on NewEgg

    Not sure where that came from.. but sounds like you got some issues you might want to talk to someone about. Only part where I agree with you. Took some quick data to make my point.. but unfortunately it doesn't negate my point. Some of us like single cards. Less heat, less power, same or...

    Asus 5870 just came up on NewEgg

    ust 1 4890 is 217W under full load.. At Idle.. your 4850's in CF will not stand a chance seeing the 5870's ability to do 27W in idle.. Just an example: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1471/sapphire_radeon_hd_4850_in_crossfire/index13.html Shows 4850's in CF at 349W.. that is WAY...

    In Stock 5870's

    I agree..one of the problems though with people complaining about ZZF.. people were going directly to the link from google shopping.. when you searched for 5870's on ZZF.. they ALL came up as not in stock.. even the Diamond. For all of those who ordered when they were in stock.. they got screwed.

    Asus 5870 just came up on NewEgg

    Actually.. you have. Can't tell me that two 4850's in CF is not more power hungry than one 5870 Well.. he didn't.. because this is a thread about the 5870... Next time someone doesn't ask for you opnion.. don't offer it. And we would want a 4870x2 for what reason? 50$ cheaper...

    In Stock 5870's

    Asus 5870 just came up on NewEgg

    GEt em while you can.. dunno how many are in stock.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121346 Edit: crap.. realized I should have posted in AMD section.. Would be nice if a mod could move this but I'm sure that card will be sold out by the time it happens.

    Is the new 5870 pointless on anything less than an i7?

    They would be completely incorrect.. I currently have a Q6600 @ 3.2 GHz and I went from a 8800GTS to a ATI HD 4850 and it was a huge improvement. To say that you would not get as much improvement over a vid card upgrade vs a cpu is ridiculous when you look at what you are trying to accomplish...

    In Stock 5870's

    This is a mistake that they have not fixed. The order will go through but will be on hold until they get them in stock which will be 9/29. I tried the same thing but called support and she checked it for me and called me back saying they are out of stock and shipments won't arrive for them...

    Sorry to bust your bubble.. but that is a mistake on zipzoomfly's part. The expected delivery day that "they" will be getting the cards to ship out is the 29th. Sorry..
