[MMO] World of Warships

To play as the Arpeggio of Blue Steel anime ships you need to go into your Port and select a different Port location. To do so is rather simple. In the Upper Left corner you should see a small blue square with a white anchor. When you mouse over it you will see a message "Select Port" appear...

Posting from my new rig. :biggrin: Friday Night ended up getting away from me so I started putting everything together on Saturday and despite a few interruptions I had everything into the case and hooked up by early afternoon. The rest of Saturday was installing drivers, installing all of the...

Delid 4770K...best thermal paste?

Coollaboratory Liquid Pro works well but you have to be careful applying it. It is basically liquid metal and just a small, small amount is necessary. There are a few videos online that show people applying it and a thread here on the forums where someone took pictures of using it on their CPU...

Normal temperatures for a C2D laptop?

I have a similar Laptop (HP Pavilion HDX16 1140US) that I've used since 2009 for both work and gaming. It does tend to get hot, but I have found three solutions for keeping it running at a more acceptable temperature. 1.) Blowout the dust and dirt from the vent areas, especially where the...

Building a new gaming rig...need lots of suggestions

An early Christmas gift wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.... Especially considering the Winter/Holiday gaming deals that a lot of retailers like Steam do around that time. ;)

I've looked at the Dell U2713HM, as well as a few of Dell's Ultrasharp 24" monitors. I was a little concerned by the 8ms GTG, but most reviews seem to say that they are great monitors despite that.

Disc vs Disk

The trick I always use to remember the difference is that a disc has a similar shape and flight profile of a discus. While a disk is often rectangular like my desk. :P

A number of users have mentioned that the ASUS VG248QE has color issues, a red tint to the screen, black crush, and doesn't calibrate well. Since it is a TN panel it also has poorer viewing angles. I'm looking into IPS, PLS, and AMVA monitors right now since I do enjoy good color in my...

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding. Honestly, I don't think about desktop space in such terms much since I started using Windows 7 right after it launched. I find myself just opening a program window and moving it over to one side or the other of the screen to have it "snap" into place and...
