    Normal temps for a GTX 570 (pre-OCed)

    I have the EVGA GTX 570 Superclocked (797Mhz clock), and it reaches 70-71c while playing BF3 for a while. Since the weather has gotten cooler, it's even less. High 60s. I did tweak my fan profile a bit, it runs at 75 percent of it's max speed during play. Hope this helps. Side tip, check your...

    GTX 570/580 Power Requirements.

    Thanks a lot. I was leaning towards the 570 anyway.

    GTX 570/580 Power Requirements.

    Hi Guys, I just read that very informative 12V rail FAQ sticky at the top, and I'm still not a 100% clear. I have a OCZ 550w, which is advertised to have two 12V rails at 25 AMPS each. Does that mean I meet the required minimum 38/42 AMP required on the 12V rail for a single GTX570 or 580...

    Rage...

    The GPU transcode option seemed to help things a bit for me. It really is a nice looking game. Despite it clearly being a console game.

    Rage...

    I wish I had not had so many vodka sodas last night and plopped $60 on this pile. What a disappointment. The ARS review is really spot on. Skip this one guys. Bummer PS. I can confirm the texture pop-in is atrocious on the PC, and they all look quite "consoleized" for lack of a better word.

    I'll pay someone to help me get SSH tunnels working in DD-WRT

    Correct. The remote device being a Windows server running "FreeSSHd".

    I'll pay someone to help me get SSH tunnels working in DD-WRT

    I need the tunnel to be automatically established from the dd-wrt device, not the other way around like in that guide.

    I'll pay someone to help me get SSH tunnels working in DD-WRT

    Hey all, I'm willing to pay someone, via paypal if they can help me get ssh port forwarding to work on a Linksys WRT54GL running DD-WRT. I'd like the ssh tunnels to come up automatically and stay up. Does $30 sound good?

    I just installed a GTX 460 and now my CPU is constantly being taxed!

    Looks like the Smart6 or EasyTune Gigabyte software did not know what to do with the new video card. I removed those and the cpu taxing is gone now. Thanks for the input

    I just installed a GTX 460 and now my CPU is constantly being taxed!

    I have no idea what is going on. Taskmanager just says 40-50% of all 4 of my cores are being used and the process with the most activity is "svchost.exe" Any ideas? All I did was uninstall my old Nvidia 9500 GT and install this new GTX 460 with the new drivers! HALP!

    GA-P55M-UD2 - Realtek NIC Failed?

    Oof, this sucks. I just put this machine together about a six weeks ago and it appears the onboard NIC is done. It's been flaky from the start, but after a driver update in July it seemed solid until last night. The only thing I did was open the case to connect the audio header to the front of...

    Would like to get rid of Starcraft 2

    I appreciate the production value and strategy this game offers, but it really does nothing for me. I should have done a trial first...duuurrr Anyone know if I can transfer my battle.net account to someone else? (Along with the game) Feel free to ask in the main Starcraft thread. Locked...

    Does anyone have the MSI P55-GD80

    I've heard of a 4gb RAM limitation bug on the MSI P55-GD80. Can anyone confirm or deny?

    **OFFICIAL** Killzone 2 Thread

    My pre-order stands after playing the demo. The controls are definitely not like COD4, (which I'm use to) but I'll do my best to adapt. I think their 30hz refresh has something to do with it, at least partially. COD4 was 60hz man, I haven't posted on anandtech in a while...
