Have a pair on the way for my 2 780ti. Have a couple unused aio coolers sitting around. For $40 a pop I was convinced to give em a shot. Anyone have any thoughts about em yet? Will give mine once they arrive.

Well kinda :) Got bored and had an excess of zip ties lying around today. Found a factory AIO cooler from a buddies amd fx bulldoser something or other, tossed em in a bag, shook thoroughly, and ta-da. This happened. Card originally is a reference evga sc. Running in sli, this is my bottom...

Current setup (x99, corsair h110, 2 ssds', one platter drive, pair of 780ti's) shoehorned into a Lian-Li PC-B25F. http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/pc-b25f/ This is a 2009 model, and I have come to realize case design has made some pretty monumental leaps since this was released...

Most games seem to really give it all they have in the first hour or so of gameplay to get you hooked. What is your most memorable? Mine would have to be Prey. A washed up native american in a shitty town, about to get in a bar fight when "Don't fear the reaper" starts playing on the...

IS POOPIE!!! Wow, I must say no other game has even come close to kicking my setup in its digital junk like witcher 3. basically averaging 19-30 fps with most settings ultra and high, hairworks on the main char only. Both cards showing 90+ % usage and 95% power. Vram usage never went...

Playing back through some games I didn't complete with my new setup, encountered something odd with bioshock infinite... using a WASD keyboard setup, my character will keep moving for another few steps when I release a key.... no problems with any other game, and definately didnt have this...

http://postimg.org/image/x5ghxh0kz/ Trading for winning lottery tickets only! Recently got the nvidia surround + 3 vg248qe + screwdriver and velcro action working the way I like it and I have to say, damn. Gaming in 3240x1920 is awfully nice. 100 times moreso now that the bezels are gone...

Finally time for some new silicone! The 2600k will be retired out to its duties on the studding farm after years of having 1.4v crammed in it. Decided to jump on the Haswell-E bandwagon. Can only afford the 5820k. I have done damn near 0 research on motherboards for this chipset (until 15...

Been running a sandybridge 2600k since about the time they were launched, and I believe I am starting to see the end of its capabilities.... Just added another 780ti sc and have been messing with surround displays at 3240x1920, and just not getting the performance out of the setup I think I...

Just finished installing my second evga 780TI sc driving 3 vg248qe in portrait. All I did was turn the machine off, stick the other card in with the sli bridge and reboot. Tada, it works. However all three monitors are being driven by my original card. Is there any reason to drive other...

Just got my 3 asus vg248qe' set in surround, figured id fire up farcry 4, and it seems to be in 3d mode... as in I am supposed to be using glasses.... been screwing with the settings, cant seem to find and or turn that off. Just wanna play in 2d mode across 3 monitors. First timer surround...

I have a razor blackwidow (I know haha right) mechanical keyboard, non backlit. What I am looking for is replacement keys with some sort of ridge, or texture to it so I can find it in the dark after hours of gaming in a van down by the river. Usually I pop the keys off and cut something...

So all my friends are ditching their 144hz displays in favor of higher res and better color, so as of this weekend ill have 3 of these asus displays for surround. Anyone driving 3 of these for gaming with a single 780ti? Obviously i'll be down on framerate for what I am used to...anyone have...

Was given an alienware m17 r2 "laptop" with some nifty goodies in it. Raid 0, i7 920m, and a pair of 4870 X2 1 gig cards. I'd like to start keeping an eye out for a replacement card, but I am not sure of some of the basic relevant info as it relates to slot designations, size, etc etc...

Anyone give this a whirl? Fairly entertaining... feels a little arcady.... Only an hour or so into it. The crafting tutorial is funny in that they use the words crafting and tutorial. Meaning that it consists of "Hay, put stuff you autoloot into these slots and you make other stuff to blow...

Have a now unwanted rig I built for a brother a few years back with a p8p67 pro rev 3.0 plus a 2500k. Curious if anyone had much to say about this boards ability to overclock. Tips? Quirks? Any idea what size hammer to use when installing the magic smoke in the box?

Don't see it mentioned much, but anyone using the intel video out on a second monitor on a gaming machine? I take issue with using my 780ti's juice to do anything besides make my framerates do things "that the human eye can't detect" ...so I keep my "slave" 19x10 display running off the...

I've done a few do-it-yourself water cooling solutions over the years, but on a whim wandering around fry's I just couldn't help but to give this thing a whirl for 90$. Thats an assload cheaper than any other watercooling setup i've put together....expectations were not all that high. Going...

Could not get this working. Invited a friend, and just doesnt give me the option to launch a game. No errors, just, nothing. Could join a multiplayer server that he was on... Also the "party" function seems laggy, or just shitty. Says someone is in my party, they arent, or vise versa. Is...

I recently donated a computer to a friend of mine (4200+ on an nf-m2s) ...... and it lasted all of about 1 month before it had 4 flat tires and a .DLL serial murderer appears to have gone on a gold paint huffing spree, and played a little tetris with the registry while he was at it. My fault...

This feels like a really stupid ass question. But what the hell. So obviously there are software drivers for integrated chips on motherboards. But am I reading correctly that the chips themselves can be updated with new ROM? For example, the trainwreck of a usb 3.0 controller that is...

Love my 4s, but I D E P L O R E iTunes. Did a little poking around and it appears that a 5.0.1 jailbreak is out. I have never jailbroken a phone before, but some of the added functionality and tweaking abilities look cool. Things i'd like to be able to do: Drag and drop music Drag and...

Friend of mine asked me to come put an overclock on said chip. After doing a bit of reading I think I have most of the important things figured out. Have him running stable @ 21 x 175 (3675mhz). As I understand it this puts his QPI link speed @ 175 x whatever multiplier in the bios. His bios...

Got one that is having issues, seems the caps on the psu portion are dieing. Can't find them locally (radio shack, frys, altex) ~ anyone suggest where to get the generic replacement caps for this common problem? From memory I think its 2x 25v 860uf and 1x 25v 320uf. Havent bought caps online...

Currently my CPU fan rpm is being controlled by my motherboard, and does a good job of it. I'd like to add a pull fan full to my heatsink, but I don't want to add a manual controller to keep them sync'd. Are people just daisychaining the cpu fans together and plugging it into the motherboard cpu...

After 6 weeks of owning my 2600k and gigabyte z68a-d3h-b3 combo, ill just man up and say it... I didn't spend enough time researching before I purchased. :o I've been overclocking for years and years now and I guess I took my leet skills for granted. Since I assembled this system i've...

Title pretty much says it all. I have a 2gig 560ti 384 shader version that does a decent job for my resolution (19x10) .....but I would really like enough unf to keep me at 60 fps most of the time with detail settings on the high side. Looks like I can get another card for around the $265...

Just picked a 2TB sata III one of these to replace the 4 other random 5 year old drives I had in my system. Looked around on the WD homepage for firmware information....all I could find was an "auto install firmware updater" with no information on changelogs or anything. Drive came with firmware...

Ahhh the nforce 2 chipset and this bad boy, good times. Trying to get the original audio mixer to install under windows 7 64, Not going so smooth currently... Device is recognized by win 7 and drivers are installed, and it functions, but I believe I am missing some functionality without...

Bought my 4s on the first day they were for sale here in town, as my previous 3s had gotten wet just a few days prior, and I needed a phone.... Everything was fine and good for the first 2 weeks or so, then iOS5.01 came out, updated the phone, and a few days later after connecting it via...

Anyone else been screwed by this yet? Googling around it appears that when a savegame file gets large enough (somewhere north of 6 megs) the game geeks out and will not load it. For me it just sits at the loading screen showing tips indefinately. Problem first occurred after using some of...

I've searched the forums and done some testing on my rig, but I still have some questions as to the exact functions of these options. My mobo manual has them all listed as basically word for word the same thing.... Previously I had C1E disabled, C3/C6 enabled, and EIST disabled. at...

Recently built my new rig (sig) and decided to try out a Mugen product. Have never used one before, used plenty of coolermaster / zalaman / thermaltake etc coolers over the years and wanted so see how this compared. Was redoing the thermal paste this evening (changing from artic ceramic to...

Well after flogging my E6850 rig for the last 3 years I finally decided to step up to some new shiny parts and build myself a new box from the ground up. $1300 later and santa newegg will be dropping this on my doorstep this week: Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz GIGABYTE...

This psudo 8 headed beast resides in my brothers new alienware laptop, and, well who could resist putting the flame to someone elses thousand dollar processor? Mostly I am curious as to how it differs from the closest desktop i7. I have been overclocking stuff since I got my first digital...

Brother showed up the other day with one of the more rediculous contraptions i've seen in a long time. An alienware mx17-r2. Basically its a 25 pound portable space heater/hovercraft noise simulator that lasts for less than an hour if it isnt plugged in. After a while of removing all the...

So the rig in my signature is still going strong, but after looking around the house the other day I realized I have multiple physx cable cards just sitting around gathering dust. Now unless my reading comprehension skills have really gone to hell recently, I am under the impression that it...

A week or so back, my 9800 gx2 starting geeking out... would freeze at the windows startup screen, or just blackscreen when you tried to reinstall windows. I had heard about folks baking various electronic devices to get them rolling again....but that seemed, um, less than glamorus for hardcore...

So I recently had my 9800 gx2 just up and die on me for what seems no reason...I had previously had the card since april of 2008, never overclocked and periodically blew the dust out of it... I decided to do a full wipe and reinstall the first week in march. Wasn't really paying attention to...

Anyone suggest a nice case that this beast of a video card fits into. I don't want a full tower, prefer a mid size case. My 3 year old lanli case doesnt quite accomodate this massive thing.
