    Behind the GIFs

    There's a new sub-Reddit called "Behind the GIFs" that I have to share, because it's hilarious. There premise is that someone will take a GIF that's interesting in some way, and draw a quick comic to show what happened right before the GIF took place. Here's a couple of the best ones (language...

    So... CES week

    From a tech perspective, CES is the biggest week of the year, and one of the busiest for us. I'm not attending the show this year, but Greg is. The rest of us will be holding the fort and posting a lot of news through the week... it's going to be exhausting, but fun. Is there anything to be...

    Movies Thread!!

    So... I didn't get to see Rush in theaters, but I'd like to see it now that it's been released at some point. It's no Thor, but it should be a good watch.

    Movies Thread!!

    I've been on a huge pinball kick since Pinball Arcade came to the PC, so I've been watching some documentaries. The one I watched last was "Special When Lit", which came out in 2009. It kind of shows that most pinball fans are a bit peculiar, but they're certainly interesting. Some are so into...

    EVGA GTX 560 ti Problems, I think?

    First off, have the issues reappeared? If not, it seems like the driver for sure, and that's unfortunate given a LOT of people are using 500 series cards. As for AMD and NVIDIA, on the hardware front I consider them about equal, although AMD's cards tend to get warmer (with the current-gen)...

    EVGA GTX 560 ti Problems, I think?

    That's a good point. Brandon on the staff has been having major issues with recent drivers on his GTX 500 series as well... so maybe that is worth checking out (Brandon's issues are not BSODs though, but other finicky behavior).

    FX-9370 or FX-8350....(vrm and voltage concerns...)

    Perfect for chumps like me that suck at overclocking.

    OS X is now FREE for ever!

    It goes to show that it doesn't matter what computer it is... or OS for that matter... problems can happen. Out of curiosity, Greg, was your move to Mavericks an upgrade, or a fresh install? I find when you upgrade in-place, issues like what you describe will definitely happen (such as with me...

    Movies Thread!!

    I have not watched a movie in so long :( I did catch World War Z a couple of months ago though, and it was ALRIGHT. I am not familiar with the book at all, so nothing turned me off in that regard. I am just so damn tired of the zombie aspect of movies and games... it didn't hook me too much.

    EVGA GTX 560 ti Problems, I think?

    As much as it sucks, that sounds like the GPU for sure. If the problem persisted across an entire build, and the BSOD mentioned a video error, it sounds like that for sure. Are temperatures getting too high on the card, possibly? You might want to download GPU-Z and enable the logging feature...

    FX-9370 or FX-8350....(vrm and voltage concerns...)

    As Optix mentioned, there will be no issue using that CPU in that board, or with that PSU. I also have doubts the cooling will be a remote issue... overall that's a great-looking setup!

    OS X is now FREE for ever!

    Even on mobile, Microsoft doesn't earn revenue like Apple does. Only as of this generation does Microsoft produce its own tablets, and soon, with Nokia under its wing, it will begin earning revenue there as well. On the Android side, Google gives the OS away for free because it makes money off...
