So my Siberia V2's have kicked the bucket and I'm looking for a new headset to replace them. Now I'm looking for something similar in terms of the sound quality from the drivers and microphone. Comfort is also a priority. Any ideas?

I'm hoping that Zen will save us from the game that Intel is playing. Seeing as AMD has hired the same guy that was responsible for the older Athlon series gives me a tiny bit of hope for AMD because back then they were the king when it came to performance. Otherwise forget about CPU...

For anyone who is wondering, I got a new drive from WD and it's been working great for the past few days. WD's warranty is quite good so don't be hesitant to contact them for help.

Tried it on my laptop, different cable, still doing the same thing. I have backed up most of my data to another drive in-case of failure. I'll try the zero fill and see if that works, like I said, not sure what happened because all the data can be accessed without any problems. EDIT: Zero fill...

Well I already had the Life Guard tools and tested the drive, passed all the tests, even S.M.A.R.T. I'm hesitant to back up as I don't have any other storage available to fully back up the drive. Everything seems fine as there's no performance decrease or any bad sectors. I don't think there's...

So the other day I was backing up some data to my WD Elements 1tb drive and the next day when I go to power up the drive Windows says that the drive isn't working properly ( scan drive for errors pops up ), and the WD logo from the drive comes up as a missing icon. I can still get to the data...

Alright then. I've disabled CPB (Core Performance Boost or AMD TurboCore, whatever you want to call it), and the voltages have gone down when I load the cpu ( Absolute max I've seen is 1.368v, instead of the 1.440v I was getting, but it stays around 1.350v on full load.) The cpu has also been...

is 1.356v a good voltage to start off? and I've realised that the voltage only goes up to 1.430v when the cpu is in turbo mode, should i disable turbo mode and just oc very slightly to 3.6 - 3.7 GHz?

I've been kinda worried lately because I've seen my 8320 voltage go as high as 1.445 volts when playing some games and using some cpu heavy applications. Should I be worried about these high voltages on a stock 8320? PC specs: AMD FX 8320 @ 3.5 GHz GIGABYTE GA 970A UD3P Motherboard Crucial...

For about a month now I've been using the stock cooler for my fx 8320 and have been monitoring temps of the cpu (in EasyTune6 and HWmonitor). here are the temps in HWmonitor, (ambient temp is around 28*C - 29*C ~) idle load TMPIN0 34*C 34*C TMPIN1...

Since I had some old ram laying around I went and put it into my system and it seems to be fine now. I've contacted Crucial and will be getting new RAM. As for the cpu, I tweaked the voltage a bit and that seemed to help a bit from what I see Thanks for the help ariel_bals.

Even after re installing windows from a different disc (same OEM Ver.,) I still have the same issue, and I've tried updating my drivers etc. but still have the same problem. Should cpu voltage have any affect on stability because even though I have turbo off my voltage is maxing out at 1.416v...

So a few day ago I had re installed Windows 7 on a ssd and have been having problems ever since I had re installed Win 7. Especially during start up, Windows will become unresponsive and can't use keyboard/ mouse/ etc. I've ran stress tests ever since I have built my rig. cpu, gpu, ram, hdd, ssd...

All right guys thanks for the help. I ended up calling MS and they reactivated Windows and everything seems to be fine. Again, thanks!

So here's the problem, I have recently put together a rig and had put Windows 7 OEM on my HDD. Now that some time has past, I have gotten a SSD to use as a boot drive, and plan leave the HDD as a media storage drive. Question is, can I just format the HDD and then re-install Win 7 on my ssd, or...
