    Kind of sick what overclocking an i7-980X can do

    Came across this while looking at the tech specs for the i7-980X on Newegg the other day. This guy that bought it made videos of him benchmarking it with Adobe Encoder and some other programs. I seriously was about drooling on my keyboard. First, the i7-908X versus the i7-920 D0...

    Thinking about getting this

    I don't want to spend oodles of money to get a monster rig just yet (working minimum wage won't help at all), so I stumbled across this on newegg, and I'm gonna save up to get it; should have enough by mid-July. What do you all think...

    Counter-Strike: Source Soon to See Big Update

    Half-Life 2 Deathmatch also hasn't seen an update in years, and that's most of the reason why it's dying out. The clan I'm involved in (The Killing Committee) used to be solely a HL2DM clan, then branched out to Call of Duty 4, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, and now Battlefield: Bad Company 2. We...

    I think for some people, and for some teens with strict parents, it really can ruin a good game for them that would otherwise be perfect without that one nude scene. ________ LS650

    Bad McAfee Update Affects Windows XP

    EPIC FAIL. McAfee has already been proven to come pre-loaded with a virus or two, just to make you think you "have a virus" when it is installed. That makes everyone think "oh what an amazing program. I didn't even know I had a virus." I laugh so hard at this...McAfee sucks completely, Norton...

    Good, durable headset?

    lol he said under $100, that ones around $125. I got one at wal-mart for around $35 last year, and it still works perfectly fine. I love it. For some reason I can't find it anywhere for the price I got it...everywhere I look now it's $75. here's a link if you want to look at it. Logitech Premium...

    Problemo!

    yep that's the issue I have no clue why Cooler Master would even MAKE a PSU without a 3-prong plug. that's just...stupid. 1st prong is hot, second is neutral, and 3rd (if there is one) is ground. I would definitely say that your problem is not having a 3rd prong on the plug. I would suggest...

    Legal DVD's vs. Pirated DVD's

    So true Jeez that's exactly how I feel when I watch a movie. Sometimes when I'm at a friend's house they're like "Alright we're putting (insert movie name here) in!" I'm like "ok" and continue to play Half-Life 2 Deathmatch on my laptop. 20 minutes later I sign off of Steam, walk into the...

    Need Overclocking Tips/Help

    Yeah I might do that before I buy a new comp. getting a cheap mobo and a better processor fan would work for now, since I can upgrade to 2gb ram on this, and I don't mind playing games in a lower res, just as long as they're playable. Thanks for all your help :D ________ chevy wiki

    Radeon HD 5970

    I've seen that these cards are amazing, and in CrossfireX mode, they outperform anything (until the GTX 480 came out). Only bad thing, they are INSANELY expensive. The Black Edition runs around 700-800 bucks, but you can overclock it to your heart's content. It's for sale here And here's a...
