    Just got a good deal on a 280x, PSU question

    Hey, I have a 500 watt PSU with two 18 amp 12 volt rails. The PSU does deliver the rated voltage, according to hardware secrets, which is why I bought it. The two rails are split so that one goes to the motherboard through the regular ATX connection (for CPU and expansion slots), and the other...

    Will TSX matter in the future?

    I'm going to upgrade my motherboard, cpu, and ram for Christmas. I've already got the motherboard (ASRock Z87 Extreme 4) and ram (G Skill Ares 1866 cas 9 8 GB kit). When Christmas comes, and I have some gift money, I will be ordering a Haswell I7. Right now, the 4770k is 319.99 and the...

    7850 Overclock results thread

    Just wanted to see what kind of overclocks people are getting with this GPU. I just purchased a HIS 7850 2GB card from another forums user. The ASIC quality is 85% and it has normal wimpy cooler. I haven't used a third party utility yet, but just using the AMD overdrive built into the driver...

    Looking to buy a P45 chipset intel 775 board

    This is going to sound silly, but my Q6600 on my P35 board has hit a limit. I know this chip can OC higher, but the board just will not handle more than 1333 bus reliably. I have 1066 ram. I just got Metro 2033 for free, and while I can play it on my 5850 (oc'd to 5870 clocks), it needs...

    What is the best illuminated non-mechanical keyboard?

    So I had a logitech illuminated keyboard, but my cat ruined it for me... jumped up on the desk and I spilled beer on it (yes, beer in a glass...). I am now using a simple incredibly cheap logitech keyboard from wal-mart (11.88 price ftw). I would like to go back to a decent illuminated...

    New SANDISK drive, OMG sandforce TRIM issues!

    I just bought a Sandisk Extreme 120GB for my aging (but still damn good enough thank you very much) Core2 quad rig. I Installed windows, made sure TRIM was working, made sure it wasn't in the defrag schedule... performance is great, and everything was nice. But then I saw a link to this...

    Looking to buy 2x2GB DDR2 1066 RAM

    I found one 4 Gig set of DDR2 1066 RAM with 5/5/5/15 timings on another forum for 40 shipped. Looking for another pair to match this one (not necessarily same brand, but the same timings would be nice). Looking to pay 40 shipped, since that's what I got the other set for. (they were...

    Crysis 2 Adrenaline Benchmark tool: issue

    When running the Times Square benchmark, the only way I can see the rain is by enabling 2x (or more) anti-aliasing. This, of course, slows down my computer and I'd like to try it without AA, but I also want to be able to see the rain. Is this built into the game, or just peculiar to this...

    What's enough for 1080p?

    I've got a Q6600 at 3.2ghz, 8 GB of DDR2 RAM, and a 5850 that I've managed to overclock to 875/1200... basically slightly better than 5870 clocks. I'm about to go from a 1680x1050 monitor to a new 24" 1080p monitor. What kind of performance problems am I about to have? How do I get the...

    Odd request: WTT 8GB PC6400 for 8GB PC8500

    Title says it. Was wondering if anybody would swap some DDR2 1066 for some DDR2 800? This stuff is way to expensive on eBay, so I was just wondering if somebody has a system that has some PC8500 either lying around or in a machine that they wouldn't mind swapping for some PC6400. Not a...

    Is this LG IPS display quality?

    http://www.lg.com/us/computer-products/monitors/LG-led-monitor-IPS236V-PN.jsp I've seen this on ebay as a refurb for 159.99 shipped, and it's got the inputs I want (DVI and HDMI... although displayport would be nice, it's not really required for me right now). Ebay...

    WTB: GTX 260 core 216 or HD4870 1GB

    My brother is lacking in extra funds. He was just hit with some unexpected medical bills as he was getting ready to upgrade his video card and possibly even entire system... alas, life is a bitch and he had to spend that money on the damn hospital and insurance. Anyway, he's got a Core2Duo...

    GTX 260 vs. 8800 GT

    I have an 8800 GT and it's starting to show it's age. Is it worth it to upgrade to a GTX 260, or should I save my pennies for something like a 6850 or a 460? GTX 260 for 65 shipped is an option. But is it much of an upgrade?
