I just purchased the 6990 and have plans to watercool it. I'm curious to those who have the 6990 and have been playing the beta of BF3. What's your thoughts about your experience? Crossfire broken? Flys like a monkey getting ass raped by a banana?

What is a good reliable hard drive manufacturer that you guys have had good success with? Seems Western Digital is a hit or miss... Any other manufacturers out there with a good track record?

It's been confirmed on shacknews.com that only 1 Wii U controller works with the new console and you can't buy the controller seperate either! Ouch..... Ultimate fail for a system that's targeted toward "Family use"...

I moved up to a AX1200 Corsair with custom sleeving so now I'm selling my Silverstone Strider Plus SST-ST75-P 750 watt power supply. Every cable that originally came with it comes with it as well as the retail box and manual. What this power supply comes with is the great individual sleeving...

All you who own a Blu Ray reader for the PC, which one do you recommend?

I have bitspower compression fittings with the o-ring and was curious if you need to use teflon tape on the fitting at all? Or is the o-ring there for the purpose of what teflon tape would accomplish? Just starting to get into water cooling and was curious from you experience users how you go...

I'm curious if anyone who purchased their 980x for $1000.00 has any regrets of their purchase? In other words after using your CPU for awhile now, did you really see any real world results for your every day usage?

I've been going back and forth about watercooling a pair of 460 SLI's vs going with a pair of 480's. I know the 480's will give a massive increase in overall frame rate. My question though is the minimum frame rate between the two setup's... Will the 460's give roughly the same minimum frame...

I'm curious, when you see the 80% efficiency on power supplies are they referring to running the power supply at 80% of it's capacity that it's efficiency will be tolerable? For instance if you have a 750 Watt power supply, you would want to run it no more than 80% of it's rating? So everything...

I've noticed a trend that most new games lack any LAN support. Is this the trend PC gamers have to deal with now?

I haven't found any stores or anyone selling this bag anymore. The last reference date was back in 2008. Is this item DOA now? http://us.shuttle.com/barebone/Models/Accessory/PF60.html

Has anyone see this video from Hexus? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqNrepvVkhs They mention price... Between $180 to $200.00 for the Sugo SG07 ... Plus the depth is getting pretty long. If you look as he keeps flipping and the background case it's not that too far off.. Pretty...

I've been trying to look for articles which show loading games, apps, etc... in seconds. Basically are their radical improvements in load times that justify dropping $500.00 plus on a 160GB SSD? When 1 terabyte HD's going for $90.00. I'm having a hard time justifying the huge price increase for...

I was curious. Does the bigger the HD, the more prone to failure it is? I think the WD Black drives use 333GB platters? The more platers the more prone to failure? Just curuious about this...

I'm debating between 2 80Gig G2's in RAID 0 or 1 single 160Gig G2? Will I see the difference in the RAID 0 setup of the 2 or are SSD's already fast enough and real world usage I wouldn't see a difference from the 2 RAID 0 to the one single 160Gig G2? Thanks

Anyone know of good quality headphones that the structure of it goes around the ear so your ear doesn't get any pressure from wearing the headphones? I'm interested in trying a pair out to see how well they work. Anyone have experience with such headphones?

Has anyone tried to reverse the way air comes in through the case? For instance instead of the fan above the PS/2 & USB ports blowing out, has anyone have it blown in and the front fans blowing out instead of bringing in fresh air? Or cases specifically not really designed that way? Just...

I've seen these fans on some PC Cooling store sites and wonder if the price of admission is worth it? Or they mostly a gimmick? http://www.frozencpu.com/products/8410/fan-518/Noiseblocker_NB-Multiframe_M12-S3HS_120mmx25mm_Ultra_Silent_Fan_-_1800_RPM_-_27_dBA.html Thanks for any input...

Are there any hole saws that will cut aluminum? Or creating fan holes you have to use the dremel? Looking for 120mm hole saws that cut aluminum. Anyone use such a tool?

I"m looking to replace the northbridge heatsink with a more effective one on the X58 Micro board from eVGA. Any users out there replace theres and with what?

Is there going to be difference in overall gaming from a Intel 920 i7 clocked at 3.6GHz to 4.2GHz in gaming at resolutions of 1920x1200? I've seen some crazy overclocks on the D0 and was poundering how much of a difference you'll see in your games from the varied overclocks? Is it mostly...

I was wondering which company has better controls and options for HDTV's? NVIDIA or ATI/AMD? Any help would be appreciated

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this problem before? You hear it when you're in IE8 or Firefox. When you scroll a web page you hear like a high pitch faint sound. I've seen to pinpoint it to the video card. (Diamond 4890)... Anyone else hear a high pitch faint sound when browsing on the...

I've noticed that the multiplyer for the i920 is 20 right? So why are all the CPU-Z screenshots show a 21 for the multiplyer? Because 20x133 = 2660 and obviously 21x133 = 2793. A bug?

I just put together a new i7 system with 3 DIMM's of 2GB each. Is there a proper way of running Memtest? For instance do you have to run the program with each DIMM seperately? Or is it fine to run it with all 3 DIMM's in the system?

Are there any long term damage having a hard drive mounted vertically instead of horizontal?

I'm thinking of picking up a 4890 with the HDMI output already built onto the card. I was wondering if any of you are using the HDMI output and how's it act for ya? Plug and Play? Or a nightmare to set it up?

I've been waiting to see how this board performs! Hopefully we start seeing reviews and availability soon! http://www.evga.com/articles/00487/

Besides the ZOTAC Mini-ITX board will we see the likes of Asus, DFI, MSI, etc..? Be making mini-itx boards with PCIe-x16 slots? It seems Zotac is the "only" viable solution for a lan box with the Sugo 05 from Silverstone Tek. I would be jumping to a microATX but the cases for those are big. Why...

Are Atom CPU's comparable to Pentium IV CPU's ? I have an old desktop Pentium IV 3.2GHz and was curious how the Atom CPU's rank toward the past and current line of CPU's. I'm trying to figure out how quick they are for a netbook. I'm keeping my eye out on the newest HP netbook and was just...

I was thinking of building a small RAID1 Home server, but I've noticed none of the chipsets say RAID through the northbridge. Any ATOM boards have built in RAID support?

I just installed the eVGA GeForce GTX 260 and upon installing drivers I can't go widescreen at all. It's stuck in 4:3 mode. I'm using a LG Flatron Wide 24" Monitor. Right now, I'm at 1024x768 because it's the only thing that will fit the entire screen. Any ideas? It was the 180.84 drivers I...

Is there a website or anything that lists old and new games that run fine under crossfire (utilizing the 2 GPUS's) ? I'm going to a LAN after Christmas and was wondering if I can find a list of working vs non-working games in crossfire mode? Any sites out there?

Was curious if any tests have been done with the Core i7's using a 3x1GB vs a 3x2GB setups?

Are there any users who had a 4870X2 on a X48/X38/P45 and moved up to a Core i7 setup? I'm wondering if your performance increased or decreased with a Crossfire card on the Core i7? I haven't seen any reviews using a Crossfire setup. Everyone's been using an SLI setup.

I've been seeing some reviews of Core i7 overclocking and when it's just paired with 1 video card doesn't seem like you gain that much in any frames per second let alone a real life difference when playing games. But.... If you're pairing the Core i7 with 2 video cards, it's worth to...

Has anyone seen results of the Intel X48 vs the new Intel X58 using a 4870X2? We have seen SLI results of the X58 vs NVIDIA's motherboards, but to get a good comparison a X48 vx X58 with a 4870X2 could be interesting to see the results... ? ? ?

There was some post on Anandtech or TechpowerUp from an NVIDIA employee that said it's possible to hack the X48/X38 chipset's to support SLI. You obviously have to get the "key string" from the X58 BIOS's. When do you think we will start seeing SLI spread to the X48/X38 chipsets? A month? 2...

Anyone own this board? The LANPARTY UT X48-T2R and have not used that external HSF? I'm interested in this board, but that external HSF is just way way to much. Does the NB / Regulators get that hot that you NEED to mount their external HSF?
