    Corsair Hydro Series VGA Cooling Lucky Draw

    1. Yes I would consider liquid cooling for my GPU because I am currently considering going liquid cooling for my CPU as well for my new build. 2. Pre installed might be a good idea for some due to ease but I wouldn't mind either way and I think having options is always good.

    Upgrading Motherboard, CPU, Ram

    Actually i asked one of the sales guys and they said as long as I have the receipt and its within 15 days they will honor it and give me the $40 off a motherboard, but if that fails I can just return the CPU within the time period and rebuy it because its not even opened, but regardless I am...

    Four Weeks of Galaxy Give-Aways!

    I don't need it but I want it for the sake of winning something for once. I still have a 7800 GTX and a 280 GTX for other computers but this one could be a start in building my new system. I haven't upgraded or bought anything computer related in 3-4 years.

    The infamous 30" quest: Apple vs Others.

    After reading this and that, I think for my search for a 30" monitor, I am going to get me a Dell 3007WFP-HC. Now what prices have you guys paid for this monitor before taxes and delivery? I might just end up waiting for something like a 25% off the price or some kind of sale from Dell...

    Does signal carried over HDMI degrade as cables lengthen?

    Cool, glad its working for you, tho for my peace of mind, I would of probably put a repeater at 20' or so. I am betting for shorter cables there isn't too much of a difference, but for the longer ones as you mentioned (50' and etc), I am not too surprised with the results. Personally, I...

    Is a 600 watt psu enough for a GTX 280?

    So can I run my Q6600 and a 280GTX on a Corsair HX620W?? Man I hope not to ask these questions on my near future build with my Ultra 1600 X3 I purchased last year.... Sigh..

    Questions regarding powering up a Geforce 280GTX, SLI & etc!

    I bet diagrams would be so much clearer to explain what I was trying to say. hehe. Regardless I do understand. But I do want to try to explain why I was confused. (Let's not think of the PSU being a single rail for the moment, and think of it as terms of number of output plugs it is)...

    Questions regarding powering up a Geforce 280GTX, SLI & etc!

    Didn't mean to confuse.. Let me see if I can clear this up. Basically, what I am asking is, can I hook up one 280GTX using just one of the 6 pin (12v) rails if one cable splits into 6 pin and a 8 pin? If I may ask, how are you powering up your card(s)? Just want an example I guess.

    Questions regarding powering up a Geforce 280GTX, SLI & etc!

    I noticed that my Corsair HX620W only came with two 6pin PCI-E cables and no 8 pin for the new video card I just got (Evga 280GTX), so I sent them email that I needed a 8 pin PCI-E cable. (Good customer service, replying back within a day and got my cable within 3 business days excluding the...

    a flicker, help?

    I have the exact same problem right now with my new 9800 GTX. I tried updating the driver, and still no help as well. I think its the video card and it is probably running hot. First time it happened, I turned my comp off for a few hours and it was fine then it came back. I put a ton...

    9800 GTX Glitching Issues

    Right now its constant. I turned it off for a few hours and booted it and same thing. It only happens to video and in any 3D games. I will try to get a infrared temp reader so I can measure the card but other than that I don't know how I could measure the temp of the card. I might just...
