    SOLD 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. Pictures...

    Upgrade from AMD 8350 (4.7ghz) for gaming?

    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.

    Overclocking AMD A4-5300

    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...

    Differences between a good heatsink and bad one if they're the same size?

    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...

    8350 Overclock - How to manipulate FSB/NB/etc

    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. What I'm...

    Does it make sense to overclock your CPU if it's not maxed out?

    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...

    FS: Factory sealed Asus RT-56u (n600)

    SOLD 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...

    Insurgency (Standalone) - How active is it?

    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...
