    2500K temps on water look alright?

    Hey all, just got my water system put in yesterday and have been folding on it for about 13 hours or so. Thing is, 2 of my core temps (1,2) seem to not be much better than my air setup, while 0 and 4 are almost 8-12C cooler. According to RealTemp 3.70, the max temps are 54/60/60/55. CPUID...

    Ultimate/GOTY Editions. (Updated)

    I should have waited for GOTY for Arkham City and Skyrim, but I got them as Christmas presents, and I downloaded the challenge maps while they were still free, so don't feel to bad.

    Rage...

    Yea, I remember in the story he said his personal computer had like 24gigbytes of memory and I don't remember how many processors, but I think it was at least 4 physical ones. Hopefully most of that texture pack is dead city.

    Rage...

    The complete uncompressed assets for Rage are 1-2 Terabytes, not 150GB. Look up the E3 interview with Carmack I believe.

    no graphic options in RAGE beside resolution, brightness, aa and transcoding

    Hmmm, found this tidbit in an article on Tom's about the issues. Wednesday Bethesda said that the RAGE team is currently working on an update that will allow players to more easily make configuration changes (rather than let the game do it for you). More details regarding the update will be...

    Water parts for OC'ed 570 and 2500K in 650D?

    A few threads over at overclock.net mention it. I guess I should update my sig, I have a 2500K now, running at 103.x45, which has a TDP of 95 watts I believe. I ran OCCT small test and the TDP according to Coretemp was 95.8. I actually have a line conditioner that shows wattage output, I could...

    Water parts for OC'ed 570 and 2500K in 650D?

    Yea, I plan on moving it to my bedroom after I get the water cooling installed, so will probably go with semi-quiet fans so I can sleep. You can get AP-15's for around $15, or there is a group buy on the 2150RPM ones at OC.net. I've heard the rule of thumb is 120mm for every device you want to...

    Water parts for OC'ed 570 and 2500K in 650D?

    It's in a Corsair 650D, sorry guess I figured everyone would know what 650D in the title meant. As to whether to do CPU and GPU, that's what I'm asking. Not sure if more or better fans on my CPU cooler will get close to what water would get. Seems like CPU's nowadays don't benefit from water as...

    Water parts for OC'ed 570 and 2500K in 650D?

    Hey all, I'm going to go water cooling and wanted to get some opinions and parts and such. I'm going to do the GPU for sure, since I fold and game alot, but not sure about the CPU. Currently I am running at 845/2100/.975v on a factory overclocked MSI. Factory OC is 786/2100/.975v. When folding...

    8/30/11 Steam Midweek Madness: Far Cry Series 75% off

    Tried FC2 when it first came out. After about the 5th time clearing out a checkpoint on a way to a mission and then getting Swiss cheesed on the way back after completing said mission, I started using a trainer. Then the trainer stopped working half way through the game and I said F it and never...

    SS3:BFE Release Date Announce, up to 20% Pre-order discount, new video!

    Man, the graphics look great, but I kinda miss the cartoony style. Also, it looks like we don't be able to dual-wield the pistol anymore :/

    2011 Steam Summer Sale:DEAD!

    Glad I held off on them. I almost grabbed portal 2, but then I read on here that Valve games usually drop pretty quick, and I have 3 RPG's I need to finish. Lot's of time.

    Does anyone else not use a mousepad?

    I have a mx518 and don't use one. My computer desk is already well worn from mousing for the last 10 or 15 years, so it's flat and slick. The "feet" on the 518 are hard rubber and Logitech will replace them for free, so not worried about that either.
