    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms - Free to Play

    http://store.steampowered.com/app/243870/ Just noticed that this was released last week, Apr 10. Anyone playing it? Thoughts so far? I went into the game options and it doesn't support 2560x1440 resolution. Max resolution support is 1920x1080. A bit of a disappointment.

    unable to use bios to o/c after installing easytune 6

    System specs in signature. Long story short, I installed Easytune 6 (probably my first mistake) chose level 3 o/c, which makes the CPU run at 4.1GHz. I wanted to get more out of it, so I used Easytune 6 to revert back to default clocks and then uninstalled it (easytune). I went to my bios and...

    5850 throttling (157/300 -> 725/1000) during desktop use. Any negative effects?
