Hey everyone. I retired my lovely but struggling 6970 and moved up to a 290x. I fitted an Aquacomputer block with active backplate on it so the downsides were somewhat mitigated. In my overclocking adventures, I found that this card is able to clock like mad. However, it seems almost too...

Bought a Samsung 840 Evo drive, received a copy of Far Cry 4. Sadly I had already picked up a copy before ordering the drive. Looking for $30. Thanks!

Hi all, I'm looking to sell my iPad Air. It has served me very well and it is pristine condition, but it hasn't been used much and further pushed to non-use due to getting an iPhone 6. Includes box (if you want it), charger, cable, and the iPad as well as a handmade Dodocase with genuine...

I'm about to upgrade my beloved i5-750 to a i7-4770K and I am looking at getting the MSI MPower Z87, but I have a few concerns. First, I know it sounds silly, but I noted that the board has two eight-pin connectors at the top and I'm a bit of a stickler for my cabling, so I will have to ask...

It's about time to pull the trigger on an upgrade for my venerable i5-750 sitting in the MSI P55-GD80. I plan on getting a i5-4670K as I will want to overclock a significant amount and will make no use of the hyperthreading on the 4770K. Cooling will be a Swiftech Apogee HD in a custom loop...

I'm about to pull the trigger on new water loop. I have been kicking the idea around for a while for a project to do and it's time to make it happen. The loop will be living in a Corsair Obsidian 550D cooling an Intel Core i5-750. This is what I have so far: Swiftech Apogee HD Alphacool...

Hey everyone, I have a few things for sale: MSI Hawk Radeon 6870:$100 shipped OBO Great card, really pleased that I picked it up at launch and it's served me extremely well. Easily overclocked and whisper quiet while staying quite cool. Only reason I am getting rid of it is because I got a...

I'm about to jump into the deep end with water cooling and I'm having a hard time deciding on the waterblock for the CPU. I'm thinking either the Swiftech Apogee HD or the XSPC Raystorm. This will be a one radiator setup at first, cooling the CPU and a Radeon 6970 with a XSPC Razor waterblock...

Hello all, I have been using a OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w for the past few years in my main PC and it went kaput yesterday so I am in the market for a replacement. System is a Intel Core i5-750, MSI P55-GD80, and a Radeon 6970 so I don't need a 1000w or the like. I'm looking at either the...

Hello all. I am looking for a MSI Hawk Radeon 6870 to add to my system. If at all possible, I would like to get this exact card as I already have one and am interested in playing around a bit with Crossfire and I am very fond of the card I do have. Let me know what you have and we can work...

I have an excellent condition, like new Razer Nostromo for sale. It works like a charm and has no issues whatsoever, tried it for about a month and I simply prefer my keyboard. the device is quite pleasant to use and very comfortable. I would like $40 shipped OBO Heat is under ricedaddy.

I have a DOTA 2 key that I would like to give away. I figure the DOTA community could use some more people that are pleasant and not ridiculous and I have found what I consider mostly reasonable people here. First come, first serve, but I ask that you answer the following questions: 1.)...

Hello all, I currently have a Cooler Master Centurion 500 (or something similar, I don't remember the exact name) but it's rather large and I simply do not make use of all of the space. I was considering the Corsair Obsidian 550D, but it's also quite large. So the question is, what is the...

Hello [H]ardforum, I'm currently running my trusty Core i5-750 at 3.8Ghz with 1.24v under a Corsair H50. The cooler has two Gentle Typhoon AP-15 fans in push/pull. Ambient: ~25c Idle: 40c - 44c Load: 70c - 75c (Intel Burn Test) Load: 50c-ish (Games/crunching) I'm have been wanting...

Hello all, I was gifted this from a friend on Steam and don't see myself playing this...so I'd like to sell the code. $10 gets it delivered to you as soon as payment is received, game is listed at twice this amount on the Steam store. Heat: ricedaddy

Hello all. I'm about to pull the trigger on a new project, feel like getting my hands dirty. Right now it's just going to be CPU only. I've never set up a custom loop before so here is my first draft: XSPC Raystorm waterblock EK DCP 2.2 pump EK Reservoir Combo DCP 4.0 XSPC EX240 Radiator...

Hello all. I was trying to get some heatshrink and such from MDPC-X but due to Nils changing his hours and such, I'm having a lot of trouble getting stuff ordered. What alternatives are we looking at with similar quality? I am considering FTWPC.

I'm experiencing capacitor whine in a HP DC7900S that I was given and it will not boot. I replaced the video card because I thought the onboard video was simply wrecked. Anyways, it uses a Core2 cpu with a what I anticipate is a 775 socket. The board measures around 8.25 x 10.5 inches, and...

I've been doing a lot of research regarding the sleeving I want to use on my psu and the rest of the case and fan wires. I like the MDPC stuff a lot but it's drastically more expensive and the paracord looks very nice in practice. Price is not the issue, I want the best for my money, but...

I just picked up a set of M-Audio AV40 speakers for my pc on here from a very pleasant fellow and plan on using them with my onboard audio on the MSI P55-GD80. I have been looking at add-in sound cards and am trying to make a decision. Do I need an add-in sound card, would it be a reasonable...

I was given a workstation pc that is equipped with a 240w power supply and after some troubleshooting, I determined that the onboard video appears to be nonfunctional. I'm wanting to pick up a video card to attempt to make this a HTPC. I looked at Radeon 5450 cards, but they require at least a...

I'm ordering some MDPC sleeving for my PSU and rest of the cables in my pc. I want to make sure I get enough for everything in one pop, but I also don't want to go nuts. I don't mind spending the money at all, but I don't want to waste any. So, tell me. How much sleeving did you use for...

So I'm about to sleeve my pc, and I'm curious as to if these Sunbeam PSU modding tools are worthwhile. Anyone have any experience with them? I'm going to get a molex pin remover from mdpc-x if this toolkit is a piece of trash. Otherwise, I'll save a couple of dollars. Thanks for the input.

I need some advice on choosing a fan controller. I'm about to pick up several Gentle Typhoon 1850s and I'm not trying to get the pc to take off. Ideally, I'd get one that is very simple with multiple inputs, the fewer LEDs, the better. Thanks.

I'm about to pick up a Corsair Obsidian 650D and I wanted to look into stealthing the DVD drive. I did a google search and all the guides are pretty ghetto, simply using layers of double-sided tape to stick one of the extra drive fascia onto a recessed drive. I'm sure i'll do that if that is...

Hi all. I'm considering getting a discrete sound card, and I want to know what I have to gain. I use a variety of headsets for my pc, and M-Audio A40 speakers for when I'm not using a headset. So far I've been pleased with the integrated audio on my MSI P55-GD80. What do I have to gain for...

Hello all, I have a Radeon 4890 for sale. I picked up another graphics card and need to get this off my hands. It is superb shape, never overclocked, great card. Moved up to a 6870 so I no longer have use for it. I'd like $50 plus shipping for this guy OBO. Take it off my hands...

I'm looking to get a new case as my Cooler Master 590 has seen better days...it has a bunch of mods that never got finished. It is also rather loud due to having so much mesh and so many open holes. That being said, I'm looking at either the Define R3 or the Obsidian 650D. After rebates and...

I'm in the market for a new psu, looking at either the Corsair AX750 or Seasonic X750. According to reviews, they are largely the same unit, save for the fan controller and the cabling. I currently have an OCZ ModXstream 600W, which works just fine but I was wanting to have a project so I...

As the title says, looking for two Radeon 6870. Brand is irrelevant, though I have been a fan of Sapphire and MSI in the past. Let me know what you have. Heat: ricedaddy ebay: ricedaddy02

I've been looking through Steam a lot this weekend and I would like a new game to play. Give me some suggestions. I'm not really a fan of FPS games, but I do like RPGs quite a bit. I thought about The Witcher 2, but did not enjoy the first one, and I couldn't get into Dragon Age either even...

As the title says, I can't find these damn fans anywhere. I'm planning on getting another case, the Fractal Design Define R3, and plan on putting a few GTs in there, as well as on my Corsair H60. I've been dragging my feet on this business for a while, but it's time. Any help on where to...

So I picked up a Corsair H50 a couple months ago and it's been treating me very well, but it's wet my appetite for a real loop. I'm running a Intel Core i5-750 at 3.8ghz 1.232 volts on the H50 currently. I'm looking to do a good water loop for the cpu along with a video card when I pick up a...

I'm thinking about picking up a couple copies of DC Universe for the lady and I to play together because she mentioned it after we were unable to play Final Fantasy 14 together since her pc is underpowered. I read several reviews but I am wanting to have some impressions from the community...

Just take this off my hands. I picked it up a week or two ago to play with the lady and we have moved on to something else already because her system can't run it well. I activated the account and patched it all up, but didn't even move past the opening. You will be getting pretty much a...
