    The hardest video game ever?!

    If MMO's count... Final Fantasy XI's 'Pandemonium Warden' before the nerf. One Linkshell (or guild) of 28 people fought it for 18hours straight before quitting due to stress and fatigue. Probably would have taken 20hrs to take down. And this was with all 28+ toons at the level cap, with a lot...

    AMD Bulldozer Speed Record Broken Again at 8.58GHz

    I think the stick that is being used to beat this dead horse was broken a while ago. Leave the poor horse to R.I.P.

    Mozilla Dev on How to Convert Chrome User to Firefox

    I personally use Chrome. FF crashes almost every time I use it. As for FF vs. Chrome on being resource heavy... its about the same. Both are horrid. To me though it comes down to what one crashes less. Chrome crashes occasionally, yes, but FF was crashing almost every time I used it. If I could...

    Will the Kuhler 620 fit in my NZXT Phantom case?

    Sounds simple enough, but untill you have the parts in hand its hard to tell. I'm sure you will make it work one way or the other. As far as intake or exhaust being the better setup, you'd have to ask someone with much more experience than me, and I'm sure they will chime in here soon enough...

    Will the Kuhler 620 fit in my NZXT Phantom case?

    There is always a way. First off it seems that NZXT has redesigned the top rear fan mounting holes in response to customer concern over the inability to mount the H50/60 rads in that location. I am not sure if your case has the 1st gen mounting holes (round) or the 2nd gen holes (oval)...

    Intel Ditching Smart TV Business

    The way that article reads to me is "why spend all the time and money on a market where most consumers purchase only 1 or 2 units at $1000 over 10 years when there is a market that consumers purchase a new unit at $300-$500 every year?" The "oh, wow, a new one... I have to have it!" mentality of...

    Antec KÜHLER 620 or Corsair H60?

    Antec Kühler H2O 620 and Corsair H60 The only direct review I could find between the H60 and the Antec 620, but its translated. Still valid info from looking at independent reviews I have found on other sites of the two coolers. About equal performance on the stock fans. Silent it is not...

    $1800 Gaming PC Build

    Well, to be honest, I had settled on the MSI N580GTX Lightning Xtreme Edition, but then just a few days ago I came across this review. Now I am again unsure. I do know that I will not be purchasing that card. I'm not sure yet where to go with GPU. I do know that memory will end up being my...

    Would the Watercooling community prefer a sponsor?

    While I am in no way a computer or water cooling wiz, by any stretch of the imagination, I do have some concerns in regards to sponsorship of any of the forum sections. While the idea is sound and could be mutually beneficial to both the forum member base as well as the sponsor, there are also a...

    HP Developing Windows 8 Tablets and Ultrabooks

    I cant speak for other HP products, hell maybe I just got lucky with mine, I dont know. I have only ever bought 1 prebuilt PC and it was an HP Pavilion a1467c. It has been running flawlessly for almost 6years now. And I almost never turn it off. Never had a single problem with any of the...
