Lets say I have a laptop running Windows 7 and it's IP address is 192.168.1.102 On my desktop if I wanted to navigate to it's administrative share (full access to all files, not just shared folders), at the moment I am clumsily going to START->RUN and then typing in //192.168.1.102/C$...

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2012/03/23/rumor-prey-2-cancelled.aspx :(:(:( This is the game I've been looking forward to the most for a very long time. The alien world had a great Blade Runner type feel that I've always longed to play inside in a game (Deus Ex: HR was close)...

I have a friend who's been married for 10 months. He 28 years old, living in his mother's basement with his wife, and he's addicted to an MMO. He has an education degree from university but doesn't want to be a teacher and now has a dead-end $16/hour job at a call center and it's affecting his...

Where exactly is the Bluetooth transmitter on this motherboard? Is it the tiny blue dongle on the backplane with the Blue LED? Or is it on the motherboard and therefore can't transmit because it's trapped inside the PC case? I've read a few forum posts elsewhere about this issue and the range...

I'm looking to add a fan to my 4 unused 5.25" bays. I've seen the Lian Li BZ-502B which would be cool for my other case, the Lian Li BZ-502B but for my current case I don't really want the LL logo right in the middle. Has anybody seen any other 2-4 slot bay methods to mount an 80-120mm fan...

I've been trying to verify TRIM is enabled on my new SSD because I built my own custom Windows image with RT Se7en Lite (got Windows down to about 7GB installed versus 20GB) but manually configured the driver store and services and some registry settings before finalizing the image and I worried...

My computer in sig was working happily for months. I last did a BIOS flash about 2 weeks ago without any problem. System was overclocked to Prime stable 5GHz @ 1.425V with 100 BLCK and 50x multiplier. Nothing out of the ordinary. Pretty safe settings except 1600MHz XMP ram @ 1.65V. Last night I...

I was trying to extend my D: to recover extra space from an old partition I removed. It converted it to a dynamic volume but I accidentally deleted the entire thing. What is the safest way to go about recovering this? From the Microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/245725...

Just wanted to get a quick answer about this because I have hooked up the SATA III ports on my motherboard with some old cables I had previously to match a color scheme but I have seen some other SATA cables that say 6gb/s printed on the connectors. Do I need to use new cables or will my old...

I keep getting a warning popping up from my motherboard utility telling me that my +3.3V is below threshold. Right now it's sitting at 2.880V and in the red. It was 2.960V earlier this morning. This is the first time it's done this in several months of ownership of the rig in my sig. What...

I've recently purchased an H80 and it has been nothing but disappointment. From not being able to tighten the screws due to them removing screwdriver slots when the screws are right beside motherboard heatsinks to the largest and most widespread issue which are defective pumps, I would stay away...

I just bought and installed an H80 today after finding the H100 was a few mm shy of fitting into my case properly. My fingers are pretty raw now as I've been struggling to tighten the bolts on my H80. What perplexes me is that the ones I have have no screwdriver slots cutout on the bolts so I...

I currently have an ASUS P8 Z68 V-PRO and have the opportunity to sell this board and system to someone as ASUS has come out with the P8 Z68 GEN 3 boards with PCI-E 3.0 now. So what's the deal with PCI-E 3.0? Will it really impact my long term ability to upgrade or are the benefits not even...

Built a system for a friend and I insisted many times that he should get a new PSU but he said "it was okay" and re-use a 550W Antec Trio. I just want to confirm if this is a PSU issue. If we can get the computer to turn on, it will be fine but if he shuts down, often he cannot get the...

I see this is 50% off on Steam right now for $19.99, yet most reviews have this in the low 60s. Is this game worth getting at all? My favorite game of 1994 was Sim City 2000 and that has always remained my favorite city simulator although I have enjoyed others. I briefly toyed with Sim City...

I'm trying to identify what case this is. It is being sold under the store's in-house brand name so I have no idea who the real manufacturer is or where I can find reviews of it. I'm not a fan of the outside look because one side panel is pretty lame but it has a nice black interior with good...

I've been looking into picking up an H80 but I'm concerned about fan and pump control. In the reviews I've read, it seems like the speed controls are on the waterblock. Is there any way to control these externally through software? (external utility, motherboard utility, plug into normal fan...

It's been awhile since I've been in the overclocking game. I lived with my Q6600 B3 @ 3.4GHz for what seems like 3-4 years now. Amazing, the longevity of that thing. I've just upgraded and now and I am completely out of the loop of Sandy Bridge overclocking and I'm just relying on my ASUS...

What differences are there between the two cards? The 5870 2GB models seem to be much cheaper than retail 6970s at the moment and I thought that their speeds were relatively comparable. Is there something new in the architecture or new features in the 6xxx series that the 5xxx series does...

Can Eyefinity or NV Surround work with Portrait/Landscape/Portrait? If I want to do one of the common setups with a 30" monitor in the middle in landscape flanked by smaller monitors in portrait mode on the side, are either Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround compatible in games with this...

Review here: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/05/20/asus_rog_matrix_5870_platinum_video_card_review/ The Asus 5870 ROG Matrix Platinum card can allow the user to burn in/flash the bios with their own settings. I have a problem where I set the voltage to 1360mv and burn in/flash the bios...

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102945 I was looking at this non-reference card that advertises itself as having a dual bios function. Has anybody had any success flashing a 6970 bios onto these cards? Or are the lanes laser cut so we can't unlock the extra shaders?

I am a fan of the old style tower defense games from Warcraft 3. I don't enjoy the more abstract games like desktop tower defense, something with a bit more interesting graphics and the ability to maze (not just a set road where you put towers beside it, but one where you create your own maze)...

Normally in Windows, I use MSI Afterburner with the enableunofficialoverclocking=1 flag on to get the slider to be able to go past the 900MHz limit on my XFX 5870's core clock (limited by BIOS as the maximum overdrive will let you push the card). In Ubuntu, I am trying to do the same but I...

I recently bought an Asus 5870 on clearance intending to Crossfire it. Before even beginning to attempt CF though, I installed in my system (alone) to test and everything seemed fine until I started to try a few games. Without fail, the card will seem to be fine but without fail, usually...

I just picked up an ASUS 5870 on clearance. Is it safe for me to crossfire it with my existing XFX 5870? Both are 1GB models. My PSU is the Coolermaster SilentPro 700M. The 600W model got good reviews from Johnny Guru. My 700W model has 50A on the +12V rail...

All the laptop cases bascally look the same. It's just a bag with a zipper and some pockets. Are there any cool and interesting looking ones? I want something more unique. By that I mean in the design and featues, not stupid stuff like being ORANGE! I don't want a messenger back for certain...

Is there any way I can use a bluetooth PS3 controller on the PC? Or are there any recommendations for any bluetooth gamepads for PC? I don't want to use anything with a USB dongle.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LabrDe4XJo0&feature=player_embedded http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/04/20/born-again-x-rebirth-announced/ Looks like a reboot of the X-Universe and it looks simply stunning. Are we finally getting a space sim that makes use of 2011 technology...

Aside from space sims, these are arguably my two favorite genres. Is anybody else interested in this game? I'm tempted to preorder as it's only $13. http://store.steampowered.com/app/91600/ http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/04/12/sanctum-impressions/ My only concern is for the amount...

I have an Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo on my reference 5870 but this is the first edition with only 2 fans and was basically upconverted from the 4870 edition by Arctic Cooling by adding in a few differently shaped heatsinks for the 5870's VRMs. Unfortunately, this version is nowhere...

I wanted to create a thread to actually talk about Crysis the game, the story, about what is happening in the original and the sequels. All the other Crysis threads get inundated with criticism (which is fair because Crysis 2 is a disappointment for many) but aside from technology, graphics...

So I just bought a mechanical keyboard and strangely, I feel like typing everything now instead of pointing and clicking or playing modern games. You always hear about games like Zork, etc. but I seem to have trouble getting into them. I played old keyboard parser games back in the day like...

I'm starting training in IT and I'm upgrading my home machine with an SSD or two because I'm going to be installing Windows Server 2008 and running virtualizations of various Windows editions and also doing multiple OSes (Linux Distros mostly). I also still use my PC for all my home use and...

We've all read about Daikatana and what an enormous failure that game was. Out of morbid curiosity, I went to Youtube to look for HD let's plays of it and I cannot believe how bad this game is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ0X_n87sF8&feature=channel_video_title I still remember how it...

I was gifted DOA for Christmas but never played it. I know from the experiences with STALKER and Oblivion that I really regretted playing a lot of the games before discovering mods and having issues with adding things piecemeal here and there to patch this and that. For once, I'd like to get...

I've sadly just fried my favorite set of Altec Lansing 2100s from 8 years ago. I pulled out the volume controller cable while it on and now it won't change volume anymore. I'm looking for a 5.1 set as an upgrade but I don't like it when the center speaker sits behind the keyboard or is an odd...

Since 2004 I've been using a Logitech Mediaplay Mouse. This is my favorite mouse of all time with all the buttons on it (11!) and I really don't know what I am going to do once it dies on me. Having hardware wireless controls for system volume and track back/forward and play/pause is something I...
