    Netgear Nighthawk r7000 vs. Asus rt-ac66

    Hey guys, I'm in the market for a new router. I like to tinker a little bit sometimes and I also like having good, fast wifi in the house. My main concern is the routers ability to run a vpn for a long time tho. I live in China so this is a big concern. Things like Chromecasts will not even...

    Case for crossfire r9 290

    Oh, also, There's the H440 from NZXT, it's very similar aesthetically and a larger case. The s340's bigger brother, if you will. I don't know what your budget is tho. It is a little more expensive. $30-40 more expensive.

    Case for crossfire r9 290

    Hey man, not really an expert on this and I don't have any firsthand experience with CrossFire/SLI in the s340 but it seems fine from the builds I've seen around. This guy http://pcpartpicker.com/b/ktr7YJ has SLI'd 970's and seems happy. Saw another guy with a couple of 760's in there, too. I'm...

    WeMo on College WiFi

    I've been wanting to get a WeMo for my dorm room for a while now because my Lamp is on my desk and it's really annoying to have to get up out of bed to turn it off when I'm all comfortable. So my question being, in the setup of my a WeMo wall socket, could I run into any problems connecting it...

    Asus Unveils Its Family of Z87 Motherboards

    I don't know if I'm being ignorant but are the ROG boards supposed to be "Maximus IV..." again? I thought that had already been released the generation before last, like the current one is "Maximus V..." shouldn't these be "Maximus VI..." not "Maximus IV..."? Why are they going back down to IV?

    Crossfire on an mATX

    So what I have is an ASRock Extreme4-M with a CM Hyper 212 plus over an i5-3570k and a HD 7970 in a Silverstone Temjin TJ08-E. Also I took out the main HDD bay and just have the SSD down the bottom so there is some space. Was thinking about getting a second GPU. Was just wondering if anyone...

    OH! The Sapphire Vapor-x 7950 is back in stock on newegg too. Is that a better card? worth even that little bit extra? I know it definitely looks cooler.
