  1. Throwing good money after bad - e8400 to q9950?

    Ahh, I dunno. By the way, no Microcenter. I wouldn't be here if there was one! I can get an i5 750 and decent motherboard for $90, I'd buy some $30 DDR3, a $120 upgrade ($30 of which is transferable assuming DDR3 doesn't go anywhere). Used, but it's from a friend who just decided to upgrade...
  2. Far Cry 3: Anyone else excited?

    I'm not sure how to put it. Those first 8 hours were just really good. The game was immersive. Atmospheric. Like a crappy African STALKER. The fire mechanics were cool. The map mechanic was cool. The shooting felt satisfying. The world was open, pretty, and felt alive, initially at least...
  3. Far Cry 3: Anyone else excited?

    I really liked Far Cry 2 despite all its flaws. I only played for 7 or 8 hours and didn't get out of the first area, but those 7 or 8 hours were really fun - just got sick of driving across the map for every mission and running into 20 checkpoints on the way. So, I'm looking forward to FC3...
  4. Throwing good money after bad - e8400 to q9950?

    That's a pretty solid point I hadn't really considered. I'd be stretching to spend the $350-400 on an i5, so a $150-200 videocard would definitely be out of the picture for quite a while. Thinking I've definitely ruled out the big upgrade for a while. Still not totally sure what to do next...
  5. Suggest a flight combat game?

    Space combat is the first thing I thought of. In particular, Free Space 2. If you want space, go to gog, get Free Space 2 for $10, Free Space 2 Open mod for graphics and stuff, and have an amazing time. I guess if you're looking for something terribly boring that's NOT in space...
  6. Throwing good money after bad - e8400 to q9950?

    I guess that's what I get for reading about (almost) 5 year old processors in forum threads from (almost) 5 years ago ;p
  7. The old ghost in the elevator prank

    Reminds me of a video I saw a while ago, also Brazil I think. Seems they have a knack for traumatizing people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3knXNdTtOcA
  8. G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB DDR3 1600 Kit....$24.99 w/free ship!!

    Everyone knows spikey RAM makes your computer faster.
  9. was this shooting justified?

    And it's the daily mail, so we can't really be sure any of it actually happened in the first place.
  10. Throwing good money after bad - e8400 to q9950?

    To be quite honest, this is one big reason I don't want to upgrade to the Q9550. I feel like it might not be worth the upgrade, even though it is a dual core to a quad core, due to games maybe not being made to utilize quad cores just yet. If I went from an e8400 to an i5 3570 or better, though...
  11. How did you find AnandTech?

    Videocard reviews a looong time ago. I think it was when I was upgrading from like a geforce 5600 or something in a crappy dell prebuilt to a foxconn 7900gs. That foxconn was a beast. I dunno if it was an anadtech thing, some other forum, or just an internet-wide phenomenon, but their 7900gs was...
  12. Throwing good money after bad - e8400 to q9950?

    Eh. I think I'll just wait it out a while longer unless I can get a q9550 for really really cheap, <$100 cheap (one I was looking at fell through anyways). Don't really want to buy a cheap i3 now and upgrade to i5 later...I dunno, doesn't seem like it's worth the effort or price if I could just...
  13. How was your college experience?

    Just thinking about how to respond to this topic makes me depressed.
  14. Amazon's huge game sale for this week, updated for 11/26

    Syndicate was decent, possibly a steal at $5. It's kind of generic-FPSy, but the guns feel powerful and satisfying and the graphics and art are nice to look at when you're not blinded by flare/bloom. The story's kind of forgettable and the "hacking enemy minds" is basically "hold E to gimmick"...
  15. Your contenders for GOTY?

    Crusader Kings 2, clearly. Maybe not. I really liked Hotline: Miami. And Max Payne 3 definitely would've taken it if there wasn't a cutscene every other minute.
  16. Throwing good money after bad - e8400 to q9950?

    I was actually looking at a used i5 750 with a motherboard for around $150. I dunno, I didn't look much into it. How does an i5 750 compare to an E8400 or Q9550? I just get the feeling that I shouldn't be upgrading to outdated technology...even though that's exactly what this thread is about. I...
  17. Throwing good money after bad - e8400 to q9950?

    Yeah, I have a Kingston Hyperx 3k on the way, really looking forward to that. I'm looking into Haswell now. It seems like waiting might be a good idea. New socket and all... GPUs are just so expensive, and it feels like I just got my gtx460. I mean, I didn't, it's been a few years...but it...
  18. Throwing good money after bad - e8400 to q9950?

    So Black Friday came and went without anything cheap enough for me, "cyber monday" is a scam as per usual, and I'm stuck here with my LGA775 motherboard, DDR2 RAM, and a 3.8ghz E8400 (which I could probably OC more, but meh). I've also got a GTX 460 1GB, which I'm not terribly interesting in...
  19. Bad Seasonic X560 PSU?

    Hey guys...I'm having a little trouble with my computer. This morning I turned it on, everything was fine for about an hour, then it just shut off. I turned it back on, got to the Windows loading screen...shut off again. Over the next few hours I tried a bunch of different things, reset BIOS...
  20. Quiet Case for many HDDs

    In my experience rubber grommets aren't really enough to get the job done. That's with one HDD, I can't imagine how 6 of them would sound. You could try doing what your antec case did, make your own suspension type system. It's really the best way to stop hard drive vibration. I'm not sure how...
  21. Should I "trust" my E8400's temperatures? (and some OC questions)

    I have an abit IP35e motherboard. I actually haven't touched the voltage yet. My motherboard's lowest voltage it allows is the one that is set by default, 1.2250. When I look in programs like CPU-Z/Speedfan I see it fluctuate between something like 1.120 and 1.168, depending on what I'm doing...
  22. Should I "trust" my E8400's temperatures? (and some OC questions)

    Will keep in mind. I was using realtemp, it was showing the same temperatures as speedfan and coretemp. I know the BIOS temps aren't accurate, I was never looking at those though. I had a little mishap this morning. I was running prime95 for about 5 hours last night after I got up to 3.6ghz, no...
  23. Should I "trust" my E8400's temperatures? (and some OC questions)

    Alright, well, I'm at 3.4ghz now. The temperatures seem to be...I dunno, less sticky now. They're moving up and down a lot easier, though only by 1-2c. Still won't ever get below 38, but whatever I guess. I'm sure it'll be fine, as you guys said. I'm new to overclocking, by the way, and I'm...
  24. Should I "trust" my E8400's temperatures? (and some OC questions)

    Hey guys, I've been googling around this problem for a while now but I'm still not too sure and most information I've found has been pretty dated, so I figured I'd just make a new thread. To get started, relevant info I guess, I have the 45nm e8400 and an abit ip-35e mobo with the latest...
