Good pre-workout?

Thanks for all the replies. @CPA: Unfortunately not, have half a tub of Blue Raz left and going to have to pound through it.

Good gaming headphones for ~$200 or less?

The Dt880s are fantastic, but unless you're doing some music composition then they really aren't worth the price increase over the ATH-M50s (at least in terms of gaming). I love my 880s, but the only time I use them is recording. Both have their benefits, but I find the M50s much more neutral...

Seasonic Platinum or Gold?

Because the difference in efficiency is pretty negligible and you likely won't see the power savings over the life of the unit. There is a decent difference in going from 80plus or bronze to gold, but from gold to platinum is pretty small in comparison. Also, like Temjin said, a 550w should be...

Good pre-workout?

I've tried C4 also and was definitely not satisfied. I'll check out jack3d and maybe the Ronnie Coleman one. I just feel the ones I've tried, which are like half of what you have, just don't have the umph in them. Thanks though.

Buy 2nd 670 or newer single solution

Next gen is probably going to be out Q3 at the earliest, but I could be wrong. If you feel your rig is slouching and you need that boost, get the 2nd 670. You'll be around a 780's performance (and then some) and will have definitely saved some money if you buy it used.

Asus Z87-A vs MSI Z87-G45

Really depends on what features you really need. I have the MSI, yes, first board had a PCIE slot issue, but the 2nd board has been running flawlessly ever since. I had no problems with the RMA, in fact I got my stuff back faster than anything previously. If they are both the same price, you...

Good pre-workout?

Looking for a pre-workout, I've tried a few including BSN N.O. Xplode 2.0, but because of my caffeine tolerance, it didn't do much. Nothing really seemed to get me pumped, but regardless of what I took I did have a decent sustained amount of energy. Also, on a side note, are there any...

Your preferred mechanical keyboard switch?

I've always loved my blues. They feel amazing to type on and I've typed bundles of essays on the same MX blues for years. Plus, it always sounds like there is a war going on in my room when I type.

Worthwhile DAW for Windows?

I've been using Abelton Live for quite some time, but feel its lacking in several departments. What would be some worthwhile alternatives without having to go the Mac route?

hit distance PR .. .how to proceed?

Are you hitting the treadmill everyday? Also, are you planning to run outdoors at all? Just push a little more distance every week. Get your body used to that strain. Make a habit of going hard, easy, hard, medium, hard, then weekend rest. Change up the terrain also.

2014 Goals Thread

Gain 10lbs or more of muscle. Try to hit 185lbs by July and cut to 175 by end of year (165-170 right now). Don't really have any specific goals for exercise weight, but I guess pushing 300lbs on deadlifts and squats is my next milestone to meet.

Enhance 5150GH lifespan?

It really depends on how hard the unit is being pushed, what kind of environment its in, etc. If its not giving you any stability issues when you power your server up, or your friend any problems, they'll probably last for a decent amount more. It looks like its identical to a Silverstone...

Retiring Asus Z68 MB....what to upgrade to

The Z77-UD4H and UD5H were pretty solid boards, you can't really go wrong with either one of those. Depends how much you're looking to spend on a board, at at that point, you may as well justify upgrading and selling your 2600k.

Richland CPUs - Are AMD CPUs the "best bang for the buck"?

Even then, you've got to consider what kind of promo deals are out there because that alone can change the setup entirely. Take Fry's for example, if you watch the ads, you'll sometimes find a decent Intel quad with a free mid range motherboard. At that kind of price point, its almost impossible...

Games you finished in 2013

Only really had time to finish Tomb Raider due to working so much this past year. Definitely enjoyed getting 100% on it.

My problem with case reviews

Yeah, I see where you're coming from. It would definitely be nice if reviews included some data with a set of high quality (or even mid-range) fans.

What if a single core breaks in an 8 core processor?

The processor most likely would just cease to function. However, it may only crash or have issues when that core gets under load, so in theory, you might be able to disable some cores and solve the problem, but not very likely.
