    FS 2x EVGA GTX 1060 6gig

    I've got 2 of these cards available. I'll be up front with you that they mined since this past January, so about 11 months but were temperature and thermally limited to maximize their efficiency. That also means there's ~2 years left on the transferable warranty. I had no stability issues...

    Asus AI suite 2 for Z77 boards

    So apparently a win10 update a few months ago borked the AI suite 2 on these older boards like my maximus V gene. I've looked around and haven't found much info on if asus is going to fix version 2 of the software, they already fixed version 3, but it won't install saying I have the wrong board...

    Been out of the WC game a while, what are the best retailers now?

    It's been 3+ years since I've had to buy anything WC related. It looks like sidewinder hasn't been getting new inventory, where should I be shopping these days? I'm in the US btw, I'd prefer not to be shipping across the pond.

    gtx670 ppd low?

    So about 2 weeks ago i switched from the smp client to gpu since I finally got my 670 watercooled. I deleted the cpu slot, and the associated extra client options in the expert tab then added a stock gpu slot. Seems like the only wu i've been assigned is 8900 that is worth 6k base, with 19300...

    WTB used high end GPU

    So with the 290x arriving and BF4 around the corner, is anyone looking to unload a gently folded on 670/760, 680/770? I can consider a 7970 as well but it would have to be a reference layout as the goal is to put a waterblock on it and AMD kind of screwed people by putting that stupid bracket...

    Can I do raid 0 with different SSD brands?

    Currently i've got a corsair force gt 120 SSD that's basically out of space. I've been shuffling games on and off of it for the last few months. I'm thinking about adding another for RAID 0 since Z77 supports raid trim now but finding one used has proven more difficult than i expected. Do...

    populating all DIMM slots hurt OC'ing?

    So back when we were still on socket 775 i thought if we had all 4 dimm slots filled, we'd lose some ability to obtain a max OC. Is that still the case with sandy bridge? I'm getting ready to build a new rig to replace the old quad with ivy bridge, but i'm not sure if I should move to 16gig...

    BF3 moving from PS3 to PC, can you port your soldier stats?

    So I finally convinced my buddy to move from ps3 to pc since he's tired of playing by himself all the time and he's got a pc that can run it. He just goldboxed the key on amazon for 30, and is getting ready to load it this week. Can he port his soldier over? Or is he starting from scratch...

    Longer than expected BF3 load times?

    Have some of you guys noticed longer than expected load times? With the rig in my sig I'm playing with a buddy that has similar specs, nonSSD hard drive and what not but he is running a core-i5 750 stock while my core 2 quad cpu is heavily OC'ed. Yet he loads a good 20-30 seconds faster than I...

    USB DAC, can I run it through a kvm?

    So when H's recent review of that creative usb dac, i got curious. If I plugged a usb dac into my kvm and it swapped it between my 2 machines via the kvm, I'd basically get dbl duty out of it right? I could use it on both my laptop and my desktop without any issues? Anyone ever done this...

    anyone looking to jump into sandy bridge next week?

    With all the early previews of motherboards and whatnot, anyone gearing up to build a sandy bridge box for folding? I've thought about upgrading my C2Q but I just can't justify it right now. I think i've decided to wait until I can move to a hex core box that doesn't cost me an arm and a leg...

    will thermalright VRM coolers work upside down on my 5870?

    So I'm thinking about watercooling my 5870 and since i've already got a MCW60 block and ramsinks i need a vrm cooler. It's down to the swiftech unisink or the thermalright VRM-04. Issue I'm concerned about is that my case is reverse atx, so the mobo expansion slots are at the top of the case...

    how loud is a aquaxtreme 50z?

    My buddy is looking to get into WC and is mostly going for the silence factor and wants to know how quiet the 50z is? Is it quieter than a D5 or 655 going full speed? Or about the same? Anything else he should know about hte 50z that might make him not want to go with that pump? It's used btw.

Well moving to 6.29 got me up and going again and now both the quad in the sig and the work lappy are getting A3 WU's instead of the older A1 and A2's.

    possibly adding a sub, plus wiring questions

    Hey guys, over xmas I upgraded from z-5500's to some sweet energy rc-10's and a vintage onkyo stereo receiver. I didn't have the cash for a sub but the tax return came in this week and we got more back than I expected so we decided to blow a bit of it. So I'm looking at 200 or less for a sub...

    5770 at 90c?!

    So I got a 5770 a few weeks back, its the stock xfx with the reference cooler, not the egg cooler. I also have a reverse atx case so it sits toward the top of my case. I've already adjusted my intake fan to get more fresh air to it and it dropped from 90-91 to 88-89 at full load running...

    thinking of selling z5500's and going 2.0/1?

    So I'm working from home more this winter and while the z5500's are great speakers for gaming, I'm finding them lacking esp compared to my living room setup and my headphones.

    do i really need to use the boot camp drivers?

    So I just got a new alum macbook for work. There's a possibility that they will let me boot camp winxp as they bought me a full version to run in vm fusion. I'd rather run it natively as I'm not a big fan of some of the differences between the osx and windows. But why isn't the issue here, my...
