    Whom is still rocking an Athlon / Phenom II (even X6), or a Core2Duo/Quad? X58 users too.

    My wifey is still using my old Q9450@3.2Ghz w/ 8GB RAM and it's definitely getting long in the tooth lol. I have a i7-4770k @ 4.3Ghz so when I use it even for mundane things...yeah, I try not to touch it lol. Should be getting her a brand spanking new upgrade for her in the next two weeks :D

    Is anyone interested in seeing comparisons between a 4790K and a 9700K?

    Thanks for this :) Still rocking my 4770k! :D

    Thanks for the link, saw it earlier but as I'm situated in Canada there are no EasyStores here :(

    Looking for 6-8TB HDD storage upgrade

    Hey guys, I currently have a WD Black 4TB as a pesudo storage/game drive, but with it filling up, I'm looking to put the media files and downloads onto more of a 'storage' drive. It's been awhile since I've looked at HDDs and the current two I'm looking at are the: HGST Desktar NAS 6TB...

    2560x1440 27" monitor: Dell, Viewsonic, etc? Which to choose?

    +1 Love my X-Star@120Hz. I will have to say that the bezel is fairly cheap so if aesthetics/features are one of your points, these aren't for you since they're pretty a bare-bones display.

    What graphics card for CoH2?

    Hmm. Why would the E6600 not work? Min requirements for CoH2 are a E4400 2.2Ghz. He's not looking for super smooth everything on AA gaming. He's looking for a video card that will make it work and not be fully bottlenecked by the CPU. As far as I can tell the game is more GPU dependent as...

    What graphics card for CoH2?

    Hey guys, Just putting together one of my old comps for one of my buddies and the only thing he's missing is a graphics card. Was wondering if someone might be able to suggest a decent video card that can play Company of Heroes 2 @ a resolution of 2560x1440 (He wants the same monitor as me...

    It's been 5 years since I built my last comp ;) (Need new Mobo/CPU/GPU/RAM for 1150)

    Alright, thanks a bunch for the help guys :) Now just time to double-check around and order. Knowing my luck there'll be some stupid sale the day after I put this thing together ;)

    It's been 5 years since I built my last comp ;) (Need new Mobo/CPU/GPU/RAM for 1150)

    Well, I think I'm going to be adventurous and end up swapping the H100i for the H90 and pushing it a bit farther now. Thanks lehtv. I think everything else looks pretty good, aye? :)

    It's been 5 years since I built my last comp ;) (Need new Mobo/CPU/GPU/RAM for 1150)

    cbk - hah yeah, but that DVD drive looks perfect for me Yikes. I would not be able to survive on 100GB past a month or two probably :| lehtv - thanks for your feedback. Given that info, it probably does indeed make more sense for me to look at the H212EVO if I don't plan to o/c to those...

    It's been 5 years since I built my last comp ;) (Need new Mobo/CPU/GPU/RAM for 1150)

    Hmm, alright, good to know. Thanks for that info on the RAM & the two findings earlier btw. Sounds good about the board. If I were to go for more aggressive o/c would you recommend the Pro version then I guess? As for the light overclocking, I'm planning to try to push to 4.0/4.2 stable if I...

    It's been 5 years since I built my last comp ;) (Need new Mobo/CPU/GPU/RAM for 1150)

    Hey lehtv, thanks for the info. Quick question, my buddy initially recommended to me CL9 1.5V, would CL10 1.5V be much different? Or would most of it be simply perception/theoretical benchmarking? I am fairly sensitive to snappiness so I'm genuinely curious. (As a point of reference, I...

    It's been 5 years since I built my last comp ;) (Need new Mobo/CPU/GPU/RAM for 1150)

    Hey cbk, thanks for the response. 1. Do you know if that RAM would work with the H100i, as I'm told I need a low profile for the radiator? I was looking at the Crucial Ballistix but it's pricey and I'm pretty sure I can find better :| 2. The link is back to the RAM ;) But I think you mean...

    It's been 5 years since I built my last comp ;) (Need new Mobo/CPU/GPU/RAM for 1150)

    Hmmm, alright. Back to reading a plethora of reviews :| On a completely unrelated note, I'm still sorta getting over the advancement in BIOs support now. I'm used to DOS or that blue screen and navigating with arrows...not these new mouse-enabled fancy smancy full-featured BIOSes lol.

    Hey DSF, thanks alot for the reply :) You've brought up a great point for the SSD for a gaming drive, and I think I'm going to be looking at a 256GB SSD for gaming. In regards to the 7970 with the game bundles, unfortunately I already own pretty much all the games they're giving away (although...

    It's been 5 years since I built my last comp ;) (Need new Mobo/CPU/GPU/RAM for 1150)

    So...it's been a few years since I've built a computer, and I've come here looking for some more advice after talking to a good friend :) I am currently running a 5-year-old Q9450@3.25Ghz with a 5850 pushing my 27" 1440p monitor ;) 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of...

    Partioning a SSD?

    I'm up and running with it partitioned, and yes while it may seem like a waste of time and effort (well alright, typing out a few numbers and clicking next doesn't really take *that* much time) it was simply due to a personal preference of having a separate OS partition. Thanks for all the...

    Partioning a SSD?

    Well, if the SSD fails I'll lose all the data regardless of it being partitioned or not ;) So I guess it doesn't really matter then if I leave it all as one 120GB drive or a 70 + 50? :p

    Partioning a SSD?

    I just got an Intel 320 120GB and I will be installing Win7 Ult on it later on tonight/tomorrow. Since Windows will not need the full 120GB I figured I would allocate 60-70GB to it and the rest for a separate Application/Program Files drive. Question is, would I be better off just leaving it...

    3870 x2 --> 5850 What do you think?

    I went from my 3870X2 who had the fan die on me to a 5850 and haven't looked back since. Had Crysis w/ Natural Mod & custom ultra high settings. With the 3870x2 I had an average of approximately 10 fps @ 1680x1050, with the 5850 I rarely see it dip below 30. Pretty impressive. I also had an...

    3870X2 fan dying, options?

    Thanks for that Far - I think I might be trying that in a month or two. Just got a HSI 5850 and loving it - I can finally play Crysis at full res without it chopping up ;)

    3870X2 fan dying, options?

    Yeah, I was suggested to put some WD40 so I figured why the hell not :p As far as not RMA'ing, I just haven't really checked into it as I was going to see if there was an easier/quicker solution, but it doesn't seem like there as. Also, I don't have my receipt as I purchased it somewhere...

    3870X2 fan dying, options?

    Been awhile since I posted, but I've currently got a Diamond ATI 3870X2 that basically makes a grinding noise that drives me nuts. Pretty sure it's the bearing. I *may* have taken it apart and could have possibly put in some WD40 but that didn't seem to help - I was thinking if perhaps thermal...

    What company to go with for an ATI card?

    I don't know of any that offer compatibility with after market coolers, but I've never had problems with Visiontek and Diamond in the past. HIS may actually have something with after market coolers, so perhaps someone who knows more about them can provide more info. I know Sapphire is fairly...

    Bug in my LCD!

    Really sorry to hear that, but I just couldn't help but laugh ;) I would suggest leaving the LCD off for a day or two and perhaps the bug will leave/go to the bottom?

    ATi 4870/4850 Review Thread

    ATI 4870

    Is the VisionTeK limited warranty still "as long as the product is in lifecycle"? I remember reading about this a few years ago when someone had a GF4 that was discontinued and tried to RMA it; I believe VT actually sent back an X800 iirc, but it took some convincing. Anyways, just curious...

    Which is better?

    Um...if he doesn't reformat - he's going to end up with a LOT of problems simply from driver incompatability and leftover registry trees.

    U.S LCD market sucks!

    I'm still waiting for my DS-264N : Visited quite a few places in Asia and my god would I love to bring back some of their electronics. Too bad there was no time to really look into what's what (pretty much stayed one day/city) - argh!

    Motherboard for Q9450

    Er, Jolly, I hope you're aware that nVIDIA's next-gen GPU is scheduled to launch shortly... Also, while two cards are theoretically better than one - it doesn't always work in that case. For games that have been optimized and work with it - they work. For ones that are either unoptimized or...

    Mobo for Q9450?

    I ended up with the P5E-VM HDMI. Was thinking of the DS4 but read quite a few stories of endless reboot cycles and said "forget it". Had two trusted buddies recommend the HDMI so I went with that - so far everything is great. Back to a stable 3.2 and I plan on keeping it here for the time...

    Mobo for Q9450?

    Glarg...P5E-VM HDMI or GA-P35-DS4... Anyone have thoughts? Going to be heading out after work and hopefully should have the system back up and running tomorrow :D

    Mobo for Q9450?

    Dammit. Won't have a chance to get a new board until Thurs or Fri so I keep thinking to myself if I want to get some other board than the P5E-VM HDMI. Mlarg! (I'm planning on getting that since it has all the features I need and I've heard good things about the o/c from several people first-hand)

    Mobo for Q9450?

    I think there may be a circuiting problem with my board? I had it running fine for several days and then it went 'kaput'. BSODs and now it's gotten to the point where it will keep cycling booting up (ie it will power on and fans will spin then power off for a few sec, then repeat...endlessly)...

    Mobo for Q9450?

    Glarg...my MF is being RMA'd and I'm going for a P5E-VM HDMI after work today. We'll see how it goes! :P

    Foxconn G31MX & GF7900GTX

    DVI to VGA adapter

    Are you sure he's hooking it up to the correct DVI port? One is primary and one is secondary - just a thought.
