AMD drivers on Windows 8

Hi everyone, Last night I was going about the initial setup of Windows 8 on a computer in a box for a friend. All was going great until I went about the CCC from AMD. I usually go and check for any available driver updates. I was very surprised when the tool told me that there weren't any. I...

i5-2500 or i5-2500k for 55$ more ?

Mmmmh, does intel still use the dreaded push-pin design ? It has been a while since I have had an Intel setup. Sorry AMD I can't justify chosing you this time around :(

i5-2500 or i5-2500k for 55$ more ?

Oh god I laughed a bit to much at the Bauer reference. Thanks for the replies. Actually, the HSF was needed to keep the dba down and the temperature safe. I don't want to stress the included HSF and make a ruckus in an otherwise very quiete setup. The 2500 at stock speed, I was under the...

i5-2500 or i5-2500k for 55$ more ?

I have a dilema. I need to decide between a i5-2500 and i5-2500k. The iGP is non-issue since I'm not going to use it. The CPU is going to be used mainly for gaming. I'm pairing it with a heavily overclocked Nvidia 460 1gig. Here is where it gets painfull in my decision making. There is...

Is this ok for GTX 460 1gig? Having some problems..

That PS should be plenty enough. I would try to update BIOS. Also check in bios that the PCI-E frequency is at default 100 MHZ.

How hot/loud does your GTX 460 get?

You are correct about the External Exaust design. Its great if you want to SLI cards end don't want to push hot air on the lower card. Also, in an HTPC it would be great. When case ventilation is decent, lot of people ends up with the twin fans design on the Gigabyte flavor. They are mostly...

Inno3d gtx 460 overclocked @ 917 core = gtx470, How high does your gtx 460 overclock?

I OCed my GB 460 1GB at very conservative 800/1600/2000. However I'm concerned with temps. My card idle at very nice 30C. But whenever I stress it, it goes very high. I can hit 77-78C. 1hour of Crysis will get me in the mid 70s too. About 75C. Even at stock speed, the card is behaving the...

WOW on a Duron. Is it possible

I have some experience with a 512ram computer running the game. The thing is, this game will usually take about 300meg of ram (not in big towns) and will go as high as 400 on some occasions. So if you say you can upgrade to 768 mo, I think you will be attaining the sweet spot Replicator was...

WOW on a Duron. Is it possible

Just the memory as stated on the www.worldofwarcraft.com site. This game is just a memory hog that doesn't need anything else. Hell, you could run the game fine on a duron 800 with a 9200se and 1gig of ram.
