    something wrong with my cpu???

    i did not overvolt or overclock. an OCN user told me that it's nothing to be worried about as it is just discoloring. the chip was working fine before i pulled it out. i could be overreacting. i'm gonna go with his word though.

    computer won't boot up anymore (weird)

    i cant even get it to POST. i cant even get into the BIOS. just a blank screen. if it doesnt hang, the system would just turn on and off repeatedly. one person told me it could be possible that the mobo has gone bad. another said the video card could be the cause of this. i did play HoN at...

    recommend me a router for the house, please.

    instead of hijacking other users' threads, i'll just make my own, but it'll be short and simple. i dont have many wireless devices (so far a ps3, but will add a laptop in the mix, and guests laptops/wireless devices will follow later). i was thinking about getting a simple G router until more...

    eVGA 141-BL-E757 intel x58 SLI LE was it worth the buy?

    you should have researched more (preferable on EVGA forums) before you have bought. just my advice. from what i've read, it's not a bad board. it's like the 'basic' of the evga models.

    Which motherboard for my i7?

    EVGA has great service and lifetime warranty. i've delt with ASUS and their service is okay. not great, but not bad. if you're not gonna use SLI, i'd recommend the gigabyte x58-ud3r, the asrock deluxe (or was it supercomputer??? it was reviewed here on anandtech), asus p6t (not deluxe or se)...

    Gigabyte ex58 extreme crashes during post

    good to know about this problem since i was eying gigabyte x58 boards. but truthfully, 12GB is overkill. 6 is plenty.

    Thinking about going SLI

    750i's arent bad. i see some EVGA 780i (some are FTW) for like $100 shipped. some might be floating around here. try to see if you can get a hold of one of those.

    King of Fighters 12

    if you're a fan of 2D fighting games (KOF, SF, Guilty Gear to name a few of ooooo so many), then it's a must have. but the old KOFs are better. Get Blazblue. Made by the makers of Guilty Gear and got excellent reviews.
