    Post your New Ivy Bridge Processor Thermals, Type of Cooling, and First Impressions:

    I have a 2600k, 8 threads, 5Ghz stable. Not a 2500k. Think max volt is 1.42 something and temps max out at 72 - 73c. Bought the cpu off eBay where the guy had it listed as 5.2Ghz stable for $375 maybe 8 months ago. I've validated it at 5.2Ghz and put it through 45 mins of stress testing before...

    Post your New Ivy Bridge Processor Thermals, Type of Cooling, and First Impressions:

    See, power cost savings mean very little to me. I'm a power user. And besides, I already know the real world cost difference between SB and IB is $10 to $15 dollars yearly. I think a lot of people are using the the whole lower voltage and power savings as a crutch to validate their purchase...

    New i7 3770k here with Asus Sabertooth Z77 board. Spent all night trying to get it dialed in. Horrible temps. AS5 applied and re-applied twice. Using Corsair H100 with Push / Pull fans. Excellent contact with the CPU. Used the ASUS Z77 UEFI Tuning Guide for overclocking, found here...

    AMD Catalyst 12.2 Pre-Certified Driver 2/16/2012

    First of all, AMD needs to release a tool that wipes their drivers "entirely" from a users system. For the community to be forced to furnish these tools themselves is beyond stupid. AMD, seriously? Can you fix this? Why this hasn't happened yet is just more of AMD performing poorly toward...

    $45 Unlimited BYOP GSM Service for ATT / Tmobile

    Not sure how many of you here read engadget on a regular basis, if at all. From time to time they will have articles / links on the "real" cost of these smart phones. They break down the components, materials, labor, marketing, etc and arrive at the factual cost of each unit. Surprise, the cost...

    $45 Unlimited BYOP GSM Service for ATT / Tmobile

    America Movil doesn't own infrastructure. They have multu-year, for many years to come, contracts with ATT / Tmobile to use their infrastructure, these are billion dollar contracts that are not going anywhere anytime soon. A lot of people get it twisted that just because a small demographic like...

    Microsoft Changes Verification on College Office Products

    Sounds smart. <-- Sarcasm of course. There is a reason people try and save money this way. They cannot afford the traditional cost of this product. Take that away, you force people into a corner and in some cases, not all, piracy.

    3930K/60X C2 vs. C1 OC thread!

    From the vibe I'm getting, I thought people ( enthusiasts ) in general, were passing on the 3930k because of the heat / inability to get to 4.8 - 5.0ghz. With 22nm and 8 / 10 cores on the horizon and the potency level of the 2600k, this waiting game is pretty easy to undertake. Not to say, I...

    M4 128GB $157.95 Free ship

    I have had 4 OCZ ssd drives fail me in a row. 3 different models. 1 was a replacement for the 2nd to the last model I owned. This was across two personal machines. In addition, after drives failed, I double checked in my laptop and girlfriends computer. No go. Not only no go, but no good...

    Thorbans Fleet Farm Games, Movies, Electronics, etc

    Interested in the Corsair SSD if you can come down to $130 shipped. Seeing a lot of the newer 120gig SSD's out there that are much faster for around $150 new like the Sandisk or a few of the OCZ models, also a few others are around $150 after rebate. Can't blame me for wanting to save at least...

    Stimulus Bill May Have Allowed Packet Inspection

    encrypted server connection SSL ? wouldn't this fix that? Or no? I use this for my usenet. From what I understand it also prevents an ISP from seeing the bandwidth as well. prolly something I miss-read Not 100% sure.

    6GB (3x2GB) G Skill DDR3 $139.99

    Yes, not just newegg but a lot of web retail has this same type of feature. If a product see's a lot of hits within a short period of time, then there is great interest. Where there is smoke, there is fire and the system kicks in a pre-determined amount to be added to said product. Smart but...

    Need Help OC'ing friends new EVGA x58 board and Intel 920 i7

    Ok thanks for the info. I think I have enough to get started on. He has no desire to overclock, mostly cause of his horrible look going back over the years. So getting him to do it on his own is not gonna happen. He has less than zero confidence in the process of overclocking ones cpu...

    Need Help OC'ing friends new EVGA x58 board and Intel 920 i7

    Thanks guys so far. I've always been able to get nice OC's on my gear but my friend has had to absolute worse luck. And, he has the same hardware basically as I've had in the past. He beat me to the i7 core this time around however. The 920 runs at 2.67 and I know from reading newegg...

    Need Help OC'ing friends new EVGA x58 board and Intel 920 i7

    Not sure where to start. Was hoping someone could give me a few pointers. From what I've read it's easy. I'm in no way new to OC'ing however I live out of town and didn't have but a few minutes with the bios, most of which had a lot of new stuff I haven't seen before. He is using 1333...

    COD5 sucks. I mean really....just say no to this one.

    Hearing what I want to hear? No. I was looking very forward to this title. What I didn't want to hear was all the complaining. Yes, I agree that patches will fix things over time, etc etc. But with PC games there is only a small window of time that I play them, a few months then off and on...

    COD5 sucks. I mean really....just say no to this one.

    Was hoping to hear good things about this. I'm not. So I will pass buying this title. Hopefully if there is another title in the series released in the next year or two with positive user reviews here I will pick it up. COD4 was great. Sounds like COD5 is causing a lot of people to complain. Too...

    Psystar Selling Blu-ray Equipped Clone

    I love my PC and I love PC games. Play wow all the time. I just picked up Fallout 3. I've never been a fanboy of anything. Pretty open minded. With that in mind, about 3 weeks ago I built me a Power Mac for around $900 dollars using a EFi-X usb dongle. http://www.efixusa.net/ Used a...

    WoW Player has 36 Accounts and Raids by Himself

    Wow .... I've seen this picture before somewhere else but I didn't know the story behind it. He doesn't look fat to me, that cockpit area looked pretty small. Also, anyone who raids knows how much bullshit / politics goes into getting loot sometimes. Lot of guilds use loot councils which feed...

    Age of Conan - The most massive Failure I've ever participated in...

    Being a hardcore mmo player, having played everything and I do mean every mmo ever released here in the US, I of course had to try AoC. It reminded me a lot of Dungeons and Dragons Online ...... epic fail. You just knew the game had a few months in which the company would make money. Whoever...

    Bump, willing to Drastically lower the price to get his deal moving. Willing to do a straight across trade for the new Gateway laptop + 300 cash. This is an awesome deal if you've ever wanted to have your very own studio.

    FS: Complete Home Recording Studio with Focus on Rap / Electronica / Vocal Production

    Bump! Taking trades in cash and a gateway gaming laptop, the one just released. Sorry, I doesn't make sense to part anything out of this setup as it would cripple the studio as a whole. Please save time and avoid those types of question. Thank you!

    FS: Complete Home Recording Studio with Focus on Rap / Electronica / Vocal Production

    It's a 1.8 or 2.0Ghz dual core AMD, 2 gig ram. As far as the motherboard goes, I am not sure. I do know its 939 socket, SLI, DDR2 board, Sata etc etc. Forget the brand on the PSU. It's of some quality as I've said. I would never put a 25 psu in a Lian-Li case. Think the burner is NEC dvd burner...

    FS: Complete Home Recording Studio with Focus on Rap / Electronica / Vocal Production

    It's a complete DAW recording studio turn-key ready to go. Selling the speakers would cripple the entire sale. Thanks but it doesn't make much sense. Unless you guys need studio grade speakers which most people don't, I would suggest spending $100 - $150 on high end gaming speakers. These...
