    Does gaming off a USB3 SSD impact CPU?

    Hello. I just want to say that my assumption on this is that any performance impact is negligible, however I am not positive, and a google search result shockingly gave me no firm information. A good External USB 3 SSD (such as the Samsung T3 -...

    I notice Microcenter has the Corsair TX Series TX750M for $69.99, which is by a large margin cheaper than any other place I can find. In fact, its cheaper than CX600M, which from my understanding is their "cheaper" PSU line. So, pardon my ignorance, is there something im missing here, or is...

    Anyone heard anything about a Haswell based Surface Pro?

    I am VERY tempted to get a Surface Pro, however it seems like a Haswell variant would be a very large improvement. I hear the battery life is one of the bigger issues with the Tablet, and Haswell would hopefully improve that a lot, and the better graphics are of interest to me. I need a...

    Does anyone else game with post processing ON?

    I have an LG TV I always hear that I should play with game mode on as this turns off all postprocessing effects, however I find Standard Mode properly calibrated with interpolation on produces an image that is color saturated well and makes all games look as though they're running at 60 frames...

    Just got a free Zotac 660Ti and BIOS question

    Its the non AMP edition, running reference clocks. As far as I can tell the only difference between the AMP edition and the normal edition is clocks (PCB itself seems the same).
