    [FREE on Steam] FLASHOUT 3D: Enhanced Edition

    Minimum requirements state a GTX 780/980 or RX 580, which is absurd. A GT210 could probably play this!

    I need help and have some feedback

    When I click new posts, it's flooded with posts from areas I'm not as interested in as others. I just subbed to premium and now it's a problem that's hard to ignore. Is there a setting I can flip to go back to the old view? Better yet, can I choose which areas appear? The closest I've found is...

    Dust kills. Leaky thermal pads attract dust. I didn't see it until I took off the HSF.

    Was watching one of CmdrSoyo's videos on youtube and one of the things he mentioned that could revive cards that were artifacting was simply cleaning the PCB thoroughly. I'd seen cleaning a card as a suggestion in the past, but I never really thought about the PCB, itself. I keep the dust from...

    BATTALION 1944 Free 6pm central 8/16/22

    Shows $19.99 right now, but one of the dev's tweets indicates it'll be up for grabs at 6PM central time Not sure it has a single-player mode, so I'll probably miss out.

    [DEAD]$16 Deepcool GAMMAXX400 4-Heatpipe single tower 120mm cooler

    I keep a camel alert on these and they popped up today. I still haven't used some of the other coolers I've picked up so I'll be skipping this sale, but I hope someone can take advantage. https://www.amazon.com/DEEPCOOL-GAMMAXX-400-Blue-Compatible/dp/B00JQ2YDCY Pretty decent and on par with...

    Real-world applications that match Kombustor/Furmark's temps?

    Any kind of video encoding or 3D rendering that gets as hot as these two programs?

    Fan header voltages?

    Looking at GTX 600 replacement fans, they're listed as being 12V. I'm not getting any fan movement on mine, but the voltages are pretty low from the header, too. The highest voltage I get is about 3.3V. I can't test the fan externally because I don't know the pinout. And, all the wires going...

    Bulk thermal paste? Favorites?

    I need paste. I figure I may as well get a fair bit more of it than I need for my current PC project as I have some LED lighting projects lined up that will need paste. Some of these lighting projects could be fairly high-power, outdoor, and present more heat per MM than a typical desktop CPU...

    Worth it to "upgrade" from p8p67 rev 3.1 to Asus p8z77-v deluxe for overclocking?

    When I bought the P8P67 rev 3.1, power phases weren't on my radar as they weren't listed in the ads or the reviews. I still don't know how many it has. And I forgot it won't do SLI, only crossfire. The P8Z77-V deluxe offers 16 + 4, and the P8P67 Pro was 12 + 2, the non-pro couldn't have been...

    What mini tool do I need to remove mini retaining rings from cooling fan shafts?

    Fixing some fans. I thought I'd just get new fans, but the price of decent fans made me think twice. I have enough fans that could use a bearing refresh that it might be worth the time. Almost broke one just prying it off with a jeweler's screwdriver. I was able to get it back in place, but I'd...

    Undervolding a GTX 580, watt reduction?

    I've been browsing potato cards to hold me over till a meaningful upgrade since my also ancient GTX 670 died. Figured I could get a used one for $30 or something. Nope, at least not yet. It seems I can get a 580 for that price. Only problem is it's a 250-watt card. Not actually a problem during...

    possible Mac-flashed older Radeons in PC?

    I have a Radeon 5770 and a 7950. Both were potentially involved in Macs. What would their expected behavior be in a PC if in fact they were flashed to Mac firmware? The 5770 posts, but differently, then the monitor goes to sleep. The 7950 doesn't post at all.

    Video card doesn't look like EVGA, but multiple sources claim it is

    I keep seeing these GTX 1060s that are branded EVGA in their listing titles, but nowhere on the card does it say EVGA, and of course they bear no resemblance to typical contemporary EVGA aesthetics. I, a penny gamer, would like to know if there are any drawbacks to getting cards like this as...

    Spreadsheet ratio calculator tips?

    My GTX 670 was sent the kill signal and has obeyed. 800x600 and cinnamon pixels galore. Like they do. A new, or even replacement used, isn't in the cards right now(pun intended), this is what I doin'. I remember someone making a price/performance chart based on passmark's site a while back, but...

    Wired mouse that accepts the best switches?

    I see people upgrade their "professional" gaming mice with new switches and I want in. I don't want to pay for a gaming mouse, however. I don't have an internet connection with zeptosecond-response times, and even if I did, my eyes don't. For years I've been replacing my mice switches with...

    Epic fixed one of the things I hated about their launcher. Game covers in the library are in color, now.

    There are endless reasons why I'll probably have this uninstalled in short order, but at least one of the first things I noticed that I hated is improved.

    Cheap and ultra-wide 4K60?

    Forum seems slow on this topic, but back in the day I did receive a recommendation for my favorite phone, ever, here, the LG V20. Which I still use because it does the thing. But it doesn't have the right 4G bands or the right VoLTE, so its days are numbered as far as being able to function as a...

    Leveling the copper plug on stock intel HSFs

    That little copper plug sticks up half a millimeter so that's the only area contacting what you're trying to cool. Has anyone leveled that off? I would think ideally it would be pressed further in so no material is lost. I don't know how thermal expansion works. Would it theoretically be...

    Might try infamous oven trick or heat gun on dead motherboard

    Have an HP DV7 laptop with no video output. None. Not a dead backlight. It's simply not POSTing. From what I've read, the GPU on this particular motherboard(and many like it) simply gets too hot due to inadequate cooling, and possibly poor manufacturing of the GPU chip, itself. It's believable...

    Reviving socket 939 board - immediately powers on, no POST

    I seem to remember retiring my single-core Athlon 64 system because somewhere around '09-'10 I found a nice deal in a Fry's ad for a 7750 plus mobo combo. I was under the impression that the old components still worked, but apparently that's not the case. Before I powered on the board(MSI...

    Suggestions for phone with ability to disable noise-reduction

    TLDR: Anybody out there aware of a phone or other easily pocket-able device that you KNOW has a way to capture unfiltered, possibly uncompressed or at least seriously good audio while recording video? New phones do annoying noise reduction that affects even up-close voices, and obliterates...
