    EA Nightmare!

    I decided to buy Battlefield 2142 Deluxe Edition from EA's website. Everything went smoothly in the account creation, it even said the account name I chose was not taken. I downloaded the game and patch through EADM (Electronic Arts Download Manager) and installed everything. It all went...

    So...Why did Valve go with episodic content again?

    So valve is more ADD than they let on. "So the half-life episodes will come...Ohhh pretty zombies."

    Sorry about that, I should have mentioned it. I am the kind of person that likes to give credit where credit is due. And after a recent argument with someone about the creation of CS, I wondered how many people knew that CS wasn't created by valve. But most of all I wonder if he is...

    This man created counter-strike! Along with someone named Jess Cliff who did those original radio sounds.

    Minh "Gooseman" Le

    I, for one, thank this man for one of the most important computer games (IMHO) ever created. Without him many people would agree that Half-Life wouldn't have lasted as long or been as successful as it has been. Now where the hell is he?!

    Crysis shuts down - bad cpu???

    Does the whole screen artifact up and then reboot? If so, and later on down the line it starts to do the same with other games then yeah it's your motherboard.

    SFF WC Case

    The V350 has enough room for a slim 2x120mm radiator if you're going to use long cards. My 9800gtx+ is about 10.5 inches long and I don't think there is enough room to place a standard radiator between the fans and the card. I would say a radiator that is less than 20mm thick would work. IMO...

    So what comes after photo-realistic graphics???

    Well amongst the talk of fully destructible environments I came across this video http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36475.html It's a step in the right direction if you ask me.

    So what comes after photo-realistic graphics???

    Whatever the technology will be, it will require hardware that wont be available to the public until a year after the game releases.

    FS: 4GB (4x1GB) G.Skill DDR2-800 Memory

    I've decided to upgrade my memory, but I need to get rid of this stuff first. Works great, ran 1.9v for about a month now, never overclocked, timings stock, and memtest passed. I don't have a heat account or anything because this will be the second item I've ever sold on these forums...

    Motherboard Suggestion

    The Asus P5E-VM HDMI has my vote. Overclocking was a breeze with no problems at all, although I updated the bios before I overclocked. I used this board for my first SSF build so I have no experience with other mATX boards. Biased anyone? :D

    Asus P5E-VM HDMI: best matx ever?

    The only reason I asked the question is that I read somewhere that if you underclocked memory from its rated speed, you would achieve lower timings than you would if you kept it at stock speed. I just wanted to know if this stayed true if you used memory rated higher than the native speed on...

    Asus P5E-VM HDMI: best matx ever?

    Just trying to squeeze as much performance out of this machine as possible. I'm worried that something might screw up because the OCZ is rated at 1066 and the max on the motherboard is 800, but I'm paranoid by nature. :D

    Asus P5E-VM HDMI: best matx ever?

    This seemed to fall onto deaf ears in the memory forum so I'll ask here I have 4GB of this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231098 And if I bought 4GB of this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227191 Both run at the same timings (5-5-5-15)...

    Unsupported memory speed question

    I may have this all backwards but its worth asking. I read somewhere that if you have ram rated at a certain speed and then lowered the speed it you could lower the timings a lot more than leaving it at stock speed. Now, my motherboard supports memory up to ddr2-800. I have 4GB of this...

    E8600 - Cool and quiet?

    I'm not sure what the difference is between the 8400 and 8600. My 8400 ran stock at ~42C idle, but I have it in a small case with a limited amount of airflow.

    E8600 - Cool and quiet?

    What about the E8500, or even the E8400. Sure they might have lower clocks, but it's really simple to overclock them without a massive heatsink. Plus they do not cost $275.

    LIAN LI PC-V350 !!!

    I think you should know that I did not screw the fans in. I used a silicon adhesive and glued all around the sides of the fans so no air could leak out. Also, I think it provides a little vibration dampening from the fans too. I didn't sleeve them at all, performance-pcs.com did. Almost...

    Suggestions on new Nvidia card

    If you want to stick with nvidia then 8800gt is a fine card for your needs, fairly cheap too. But if you are willing to spend ~$200 then the 9800GTX+ or ATI's HD4850 are the way to go.

    LIAN LI PC-V350 !!!

    The fans are the Scythe "Mini Kaze" 40mm Silent Fan. The only time I can hear them is when I put my head up real close to the back of the case, but I think it's the psu that's making the sound instead of the fans...

    I have the Zalman CNPS7700 in my system but I might upgrade to the mini-ninja (anyone know if this preforms better?). I also wonder if a TRUE can fit, if it can I will buy it. If you are going to play games on it are you going to use onboard video or buy a graphics card? I only ask because I...

    Sry guys ...My sff v350 build

    I built my SFF PC for gaming at lan partys with a little bit of overclocking. I did run into some heat issues but I modded the case. I took out the mesh for the exhaust and in the front there's a long grill on the bottom of the case where the 120mm fans can draw air from (wish I had a picture)...

    Sry guys ...My sff v350 build

    Cooling is decent in the v350, but its pretty closed off compared to other cases. The two 120mm fans up front have a limited volume of air that they can actually pull through, and the only exhaust fan (the 80mm) is almost completely separated from the rest of the system. I'm not saying its...
