Just to add, if you re-bind the controller in Big Picture mode, and add the Primary action (A button) to the left stick click, it won't press the button twice. Everything is working great and this is a damn fine controller!

I went out and grabbed a DS4 controller tonight and have it working pretty well so far. The only problem I'm having is it seems to press the button twice when in Steam Big Picture mode. I installed a plugin that lets the touchpad work like a mouse, and so far, I'm very impressed. Here's a link...

Could be the power supply. I'd try doing SMC reset (depending on the year, there are 1 or 2 tiny press switches) Check the diagnostic LEDs and see if they're lighting up properly while the power is on. If you remove all the RAM and turn it on, does it also shut down? Could also be a bad...

Thanks for the link. I didn't see that part on the recommended steps. I just found a bunch of forum wars where people were saying X Y and Z. Usually, i'll get a straight answer here, so that's why I asked. It's been a few years since I've built a gaming rig and things have changed considerably...

I built my gaming rig a few months ago and am still using the drivers that I first installed (I believe CAT 11.4). If I want to go to the latest version is it ok to install over the older drivers, or is it preferable to completely remove the old drivers and install clean? Just more or less...

I typically just go to FrozenCPU because it's right down the street from me, but in the past, I've shopped at www.SVC.com

I was under the impression that distilled water isn't 100% non-conductive and either way, it will eventually become conductive as ions transfer into it from running through your loop. I bought some bi-distilled "non-conductive WC water" crap and read later that it's overpriced and doesn't do...

LOVED that game on the PC back in the day! Thanks for the nostalgia :)

A lot of people said it was mediocre. I picked it up on Steam cause it was $10. One of these days, i'll get to it.

I just picked it up at Amazon for $35 minus a $20 credit. $16 shipped should be a good price for it. I'm not complaining.

Yeah i'm thinking i'm pretty much sold on another 6970. Deciding if I should get another Sapphire or go with an XFX since they have a lifetime warranty. I should probably match even though it's most likely unnecessary... they're both based on reference boards.

True, 3 6970's would offer better performance, but the heat and power consumption would be pretty nuts! I may just get another 6970 for now and see if that holds me over. The single 6970 is a very nice card, but I want to be able to pump EVERYTHING up as high as it will go. That's why we're all...

Yeah I should have went with a 6990 first, then a 6970 if I wanted Tri Fire... I should have gone your route... They're still out of stock like everywhere. I did a trial for ShopRunner so I could get free shipping and was hoping to cancel it before the 30 day trial. It's a good service, but I...

Tri fire is probably overkill for what i'm running, but it's been a very long time since i've been able to get a gaming rig, so I wanted to go balls to the wall. I sold my Mac Pro since I haven't had a lot of free time to take full advantage of it. I used the money towards my rig. So far, I love...

I have a similar setup as Deltief. I ended up getting the Asrock fatal1ty mobo, i7 2600k, Gskill ripjaws@1866, Antec 1200watt High current pro PS, and a single Sapphire 6970. I'm on a 24" samsung 1920x1080 monitor. I'm playing Crysis with everything maxed and only 2xAA and Im getting between...
