    Incoming PS3 Mod Chip Claims to Allow Game Backups

    Yea I have a few DL games but I wish I didn't need to swap disks when the game is already on the drive, maybe make it so it only checks for the disk once every 30 days? (if that's even possible but that wont happen so)

    Adjusting affinity effectively improves gaming performance

    Hmm actually it does seem to help, I was getting some choppiness in NFS:Shift and after this all is fine, how odd. EDIT: also seemed to help in CNC3 when there was a lot of stuff on map/bombs etc.

    Is Perpendicular Magnetic Recording at the End of its Road?

    Its because external drives suck on cooling, they are basically shoved into a metal box with little to no cooling and sold $30-$50 higher than an internal drive that for me sees temps of 32-35 C vs 90+.

    Cheap Gaming Rigs

    Actually.... I'm running a phenom 955 BE with a 5750 and it kills every game I've played at 1080p, it really just depends on what your doing, and more cores usually help more than higher clocks.

    What do you think about this...??

    Get a 5750 if your gonna be gaming and can afford it, otherwise you could do something a bit lower like a 5670 but nothing lower will really run games too well, they are more of home theater/basic low power cards. PS: The 5750 should blow through any game at max settings (Crysis & Warhead...

    Water cooling help

    Well thats what I want to try, I wanna go for 3.9 - 4 Ghz if I can. For the price I cant really argue, the Mega and the ARM-02 mounting kit are only a total of $61.76 and I just looked up the FRIO and it seems to be about $60 so I figure why not go with the Mega.

    Water cooling help

    It pretty much all depends as this test shows next to no difference here EDIT: Thanks for the help, I just wonder if any local stores have the ARM-02 mounting kit, then I could save a bit more.

    Is this the largest game ever?

    Who can be running out of disk space in these times? I have somewhere around 2310 GB in my machine, don't recall how much used, on a laptop now so cant check.

    Water cooling help

    Size doesn't bother me, for me its the price vs performance and since I am finding the Mega for the lowest price so far I may go with that. Edit: Wow, I found the Mega local for EVEN less but I still need the AMD mounting kit shipped so it tacks on a bit but its still much less, $61.76 total...

    Water cooling help

    Its just an old coolermaster one that keeps temps a bit lower than the stock heatsink on load, about 10C less or so. Also I can get a Prolimatech Megahalems Rev. B CPU Cooler for $71.96 shipped vs the NH-D14 for $92.98 from newegg and temps seem only about 1C lower on the noctua. The Mega would...

    Water cooling help

    I am looking for a watercooling setup that will cool my 955 BE better (shouldnt be too hard). It needs to be around $100, doesnt need to be a kit but I am a noob when it comes to water cooling which is why I am asking for help.

    Move Over Firefox, I Choose Chrome

    How odd, I have like 50+ FF tabs open and it never crashes, seems like you may have some other problem there. Actually to be exact I have only 43 tabs right now but I do get more sometimes.
