Audio-Technica ATH-M50 (curled cable, 06/22/2014) - $75 shipped
These were just shy of being 1 year old when I replaced them. They've been in a box and waiting to ship since I listed them. They were not my main headphone so they are broken in without being broken down.

What would the next logical jump be when coming from an overclocked AMD 8350(4.7ghz)?
The chip would be paired with a 290x that will probably be sticking around for a year or two. At least until the 300 series comes out AND decreases in price a bit.

Are there any resources on overclocking an A4-5300 (or anything close)? I'm having trouble even finding the max temperature. So far I'm at 3.9ghz running Prime95 with a max socket temp of 48c and core temps of 35c. That seems awfully low so I would love to throw some more voltage at it and see...
Assuming heat sink surface area is the same, why would one be better than the other? Seems like a lot of them have the same aluminum surface area, same length of copper pipes, and other similar characteristics. For example the XIGMATEK Gaia SD1283, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, and Noctua NH-U12P...
Are there any good OC tutorials on the 8350 that make reference to the FSB/NB? So far all I see is adjusting the multiplier and voltage. I have been messing with my chip for a bit and it looks like the sweet spot is 4.5ghz. Currently I have ran 1.36v (CPUZ) for 12 hours on Prime95.

I see people talking about overclocking their CPU's and getting more FPS but their CPU is not maxed out to begin with so I don't understand how it is a benefit. If my CPU only has a few cores peak at 70% while gaming would it make sense to overlock it? In my mind it could happen one of two ways...

Had one for a little over a year, wireless N 5ghz gave me random ping spikes (3-5 times a week for ~20 minutes). I only ever noticed it in games. RMA'd it to Asus and decided to upgrade since I would need to buy another router to use in the mean time anyway.
This is a brand new, factory...
I'm big on CS:GO and I haven't seen anything that will replace it (for me) but I do look for games to play when I'm burnt out of CS:GO. I tend to like things that are a bit slower paced so I have been playing some America's Army Proving Grounds Beta. I like the tactical nature of that which...
Has anyone ever done this? I have an Asus M5A99FX Pro board and I realized once I install my GPU I no longer have access to the single PCIeX1 slot for my Wireless Adapter.

Intel 2500k comes with the Corsair H50 CPU water cooling system as well as the stock fan. This CPU has been paired with the MSI P67A-GD65 (B3 revision) motherboard. I've had excellent luck with this system. I've used it with my GTX 760 and R9 280x in gaming without any trouble on high/ultra...
I've had a few problems on and off. Long story short I *thought* my Crucial M4 SSD was going bad because it gave me some trouble about 12 months ago. For a few months it would randomly shut down and when I go to restart it would hang a bit after post with an error code suggesting a problem with...
I picked up an Xbox One the other week and I'm having trouble getting the controller to work with rechargeable AA batteries. These are the same batteries I've used in my Xbox 360 and I've tested it with about 8 different batteries. 4 of which have been on the charger at least a week.

My QNAP somewhat failed so I have to pull the data off. Basically to use it again I must reformat the drives but in the mean time the data is accessible via FTP. I have about 5TB of data so I bought 2 x 3TB drives and have begun the painful process of transferring 5TB of data @ 3.5Mib/s (max...
Blasting QNAP isn't the point of this thread. I would like it to be but I don't feel like spending the time to type it out in a way that is most expressive of my rage. I'll give you the short and skinny of it and then ask my question.

I'm having a lot of trouble finding a 4 display graphics card for my work machine. Long story short, I got the go ahead to get a new PC at work. Budget was $3k and it must be from Dell. I had a good idea of what I wanted (nice CPU, 16gb ram, SSD, etc). I settled on an $1500 x51 (Alienware line)...

I'm looking to build a gaming computer around ~$400. That includes everything in the case minus the CD drive. It would need to be able to play Skyrim and ARMA II on a 24" monitor. Doesn't have to be Ultra but I also don't want it to be on low struggling to get 30fps. If it could be on medium and...

I'm looking to build a RAID server that will occasionally be an HTPC server. I priced out a decent build for about $200 shipped so I'm checking out the used market before I buy. This $200 computer is more than enough power so please don't bother trying to sell me $400 of hardware.
