Just to add...switching your Uplay to "offline" mode solves all the lag/shutter issues while driving or moving from area to area. Can now play the game on full ultra without any issues. Give it a try.

Yes the Haswell does run quite hotter, 35 degC idle, up to 60+ degC during gaming (CoD Ghosts for eg.) with the stock cooler. I will be getting an aftermarket cpu cooler (not watercooling though) in the next month or so, so I bet that will help already. Cable management is decent, so I don't...

Hi, I recently built a new PC build (shown below) and decided to go with the Zalman Z11 Plus as it was going for a very good price. I have noticed that the fans included with the case (5: 1 front, 1 back, 2 sides and 1 top) are not venting/transporting air as much as I'd want (except the rear...

Seems to be a TS3 issue and is not ISP related (as I tested with different ISPs, different modems, different pcs and from different locations), noted by several people on various servers. Thanks for the reply though.

Hi, I've recently noticed I get extremely high packet loss when connected to TS3 server(s) and online gaming is very laggy/jumpy. Not sure if it is my router (tested with different ones) and using both my laptop and PC (same results). Any help or pointers will be appreciated; online CoD and...

Yes I've heard that the Hyper 212 evo is an excellent "budget" cooler and have been considering that, but if it would be more beneficial to go for a Noctua (more expensive I presume) or similar I'd also look into that. For the air coolers you just need to make sure you have enough space in your...

Hi, I just built a new gaming rig last week and was wondering if anyone can suggest a decent cpu cooler which I could purchase and install in the new year (bit broke at the moment) and anything else I would require along with that. Also which would be better (new to PC gaming/overclocking)...

Would also like a PSU that is a little on the future-proof side, so that I won't need a new one later when I maybe add/change some of the components.

Hi, I'm busy looking into components for my "budget" next gen gaming PC, but have been struggling to decide on a decent PSU that would do the job. Build I'm currently considering (non-overclocking at the moment): CPU: intel i5 4570 (3.2ghz) MOBO: msi B85-G43 Gaming Ram: Corsair Vengeance Pro...

I see a few people are still recommending 3rd Gen Cpu's vs 4th Gen, is there any specific reason for this or just out of preference? And the i5 4570 is clocked higher at base (and with turbo boost) vs the i5 3340, for almost the same price. And thanks IRONBATMAN, the components are a bit more...
