I've waited a little over 4 years now to build a new pc and since I built my old one, a lot has changed in my life, including what workloads I need to tackle. Here's what I do with my pc in order of importance: Gaming Video Encoding/Rendering/Editing for 2 friends' channels, every evening...

I was going to say RMA it but I have no clue how long you have had the card. If it isn't that bad, I'd still RMA it and sell it or just sell it and buy one of the new ones when they're finally in stock. It probably has something wrong due to the card having a defect or something wrong with the...

You could get a Q9550 for around 40 bucks on ebay. Much better performance for the mobo. For $60 you could get the Q9650 and get a little better performance than the 9550 but you'll be satisfied either way.

I'm intending on upgrading my PC, and I was GOING to buy two 1080s but since my friend is upgrading to them he's going to sell me his two 980 Ti's for $700 and the availability to maybe add a third REGARDLESS of the SLI issues. These are his cards...

I want a good, smaller CPU cooler that'll at keep it a good bit cooler than the stock cooler. The stock cooler lets it run at almost 95C at stock clocks and idles at 45. I also have the large Corsair Vengeance ram. I am not really interested in overclocking, just games. I can't even play...

It would still post even if the CPU was dead.

Well I just built a system and it was working fine, but with the stock fan that came with the CPU. I didn't like the temps, so I replaced the cooler with a Hyper 212 EVO. After I did this, the pc no longer worked. No image, no post. I reinstalled the stock cooler to see if anything was being...

I went ahead and filed a complaint with the BBB because of the attitudes that I was given and I've tried everything. I will not buy from EVGA again. EVER.

Looks like I'mma have to put some backbone into it, they keep trying to tell me it's my fault. EVEN if I try to pay over the phone. I've already referred AGAIN to the bank/credit card companies.

Alright, I'm stepping up to the 760 and it's my time to pay right now. WELL, I can't exactly do that since ALL MY CARDS ARE DECLINED. I've referred to the bank and credit card companies and it's not them, all info is correct. None are maxed and I have funds to pay. Is it possible to use a...

My cousin wants me to build him a PC for gaming, photo/video editing, CAD (3D/2D) and video encoding. I've talked to him about all of the parts and we've settled on most. ASUS 680 DC2 (he plans to add 2 more later). 16 GB Corsair Dominator (4x4GB, red). 2x 2TB WD Caviar Black. Samsung 840 Pro...

Have you heard anything about it not working? This is my first purchase and I don't want it to be a bad one.

I was looking around and I seen on Newegg where someone said it didn't work, is this true?
