    Galax GTX 980 V2- personal opinions!

    Just modded the Bios to allow 88*C and the stock blower tops out at 84-85*C, anything below 90-95 is safe enough imho.

    Galax GTX 980 V2- personal opinions!

    Just a Tip: 3 scenarios for the default blower (thrashing card). (for cases where case fans blow out of case.) 1/ If you have lots of negative pressure in the case the case fans will suck air through the slits in the top of the 980. 79*C 980 and Very Hot case. 2/ If you have enough intake holes...

    Galax GTX 980 V2- personal opinions!

    It is much quieter than I thought, I have not had a blower style b4, and I can hear it if I thrash it, but not really noisy. In benchmarking it heats up fast and down clocks a bit past 74 or something which is normal, but probably a bit worse than reference cooler, not sure as I have no...

    What is the best ps2 mouse or usb mouse

    I am also shopping for a decent ps2 one, b/c the usb mouse does not work for something I want to use it for. My Microsoft comfort 1000 optical mouse does not work in the ps2, I tried.

    Nvidia Uses Cartoon to Tease Intel Larrabee Delay

    Larrabee was 1TFlops, Larrabee 2 is going to be more. ATI and NVidea don't have TFlops yet, that they have shown. If Intel released Larrabee now they would have to bail out NVidea or ATI or both. Nobody really wants that in reality, not even Intel, maybe they have to wait until there is real...

    DDR3 On A Budget: Six 6 GB Memory Kits

    JonnyDoughThank you.That said, the only way to really know your chances of getting a good set is to test literally hundreds of modules from different batches. This test is still a bit subjective, especially if the memory makers are sending you ram...who's to say they don't test several and find...

    Gigabyte's Radeon HD 4650: Are AGP Graphics Still Good Enough?

    We already knew the HD4650 sucked. Games like warhammer DOW II don't run real well on my system... P4 3.2 HD3850AGP OC'd to 810, and the games like in these reviews also don't work too well, but as someone said on the first page we who still have AGP are mostly waiting for 2010... well because...

    Killer Xeno Pro: Do You Really Need A Gaming Network Card?

    To the Aussie posters... Australian and New Zealand Modems tend to have lower latency, because we are so far away the high end ones are built pretty well... Netcomm NB9W + Telstra = 240ms-260ms to the US if you set up QOS for each game. Was the same as a $1500 Cisco modem in lab tests. NIC to...

    Intel, AMD, And Reseller Success: A System Builder Weighs In

    I still use a p4 HT 478 @ 3.2 (2004) and I am still happy with it, when I got a HD3850 all the other people that were left in the forums that had PC's that worked OK were some Pentium M (2004) and some AMD x2 (2005-2006) gamers. AMD processors from before 2005 stuttered too much in games and had...

    BSA: Software Piracy Cost $50 Billion in 2008

    I have no pirated software on my PC. PSP 9.011 is better than Photoshop... I got Photoshop CS5 free with my scanner and its filters practically destroy photos compared to PSP 9.011. PSP 9.011 also has an awesome interface. I also compared it to my motherinlaws uptodate PS. PSP 9.01 (+ its 512...
