    Played beta for 3 months, and I never saw a hot key switch skill button. Are you referring to the "Exception Mode"? Where you could put any skill in the keyboard button bind?

    What determines the amount of heat given off by a resistor?

    i would say both A and B would be acceptable based on the wording of the question A because the calculation for power (which is translated as heat) is P = I*I*R B because the size of the resistor dissipates different amount of heat based on their package size. ie a larger cap will feel colder...

    Budget Gaming Build Plan - done, but CPU too hot?

    both HDDs are in the middle hard drive bay, meaning no fan blowing on them. the bottom HDD bay has a large fan mounted directly behind it, so I may move them to see what happens. also, im not sure what happened but my CPU temps have dropped down to ~38C idle (so says CPUID). and using the...

    Budget Gaming Build Plan - done, but CPU too hot?

    just got cpuz installed and I'm noticing a what seems to be a pretty hot temp on my CPU (50+ C at idle). I've tried reseating the stock heatsink, but no difference. http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/chorb/CPUtemp.jpeg Suggestions?

    Budget Gaming Build Plan - done, but CPU too hot?

    was this one: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0368599 they had a promotion through facebook for $50 AC/AR, but when I went to the store they rang it up as $50 then gave me a MIR for an additional $15. I didnt ask any questions ;)

    Budget Gaming Build Plan - done, but CPU too hot?

    ended up going with the i5-2500k with H61 mobo. MicroCenter also had a killer deal for a 60GB SSD for $35 AC/AR so picked up one of those also. Still waiting for the monitor and GTX460SC to arrive from newegg, but the system is up and running otherwise. Thanks for the help and suggestions.

    Budget Gaming Build Plan - done, but CPU too hot?

    i5 deal from MC requires you to get the i5-2500k ($180) to get $50 off the mobo. i5($180) + z68 ($50) = Total sum: ~$230 but keep in mind I'm not looking to overclock so the z68 is probably overkill. However, the MC deal also allows $50 a H61 mobo so I could essentially go the uber cheap route...

    Budget Gaming Build Plan - done, but CPU too hot?

    Seatle51's suggestion does make sense (and I've thought about it before my original post), but i just dont see the extra money being worth it to me for the upgrade from an i3 to i5. I will not be SLI/Crossfiring, nor overclocking, nor upgrading to ivy bridge in the foreseeable future. My goal...

    Budget Gaming Build Plan - done, but CPU too hot?

    Thanks for the feedback! Not looking to upgrade to Ivy Bridge, so I'll take a longer look at my options for saving money on the mobo. Good catch on the RAM voltage

    after the first time you kill a boss the quality of drops are based on some loot table. I've run the SK 50+ times in Beta, and had instances where he dropped 3 blues and other times 0 blues. Another time he even dropped a yellow + blues (not the first kill). All random.

    Dont forget that intelligence is also a damage modifier for the wizard and witch doctor (although not specifically stated anywhere in the game). I have a feeling at higher levels you'll find class specific items that have so much intellect and other class bonuses that they'll outweigh the raw...

    To both your questions there are ways to fix them. By going to the Options and then the Gameplay Menu, check the box next to "Elective Mode" which will allow you to put any skill in any slot.

    So you dont want D3 to follow its past lineage for the reason being "its outdated". But instead you'd rather see them copy games that are currently being sold, and somehow that's breaking the mold and creating a better game? :rolleyes:

    What is this component on a SIMM?

    I looked up the IC datasheet and it looks to be a bulk capacitor for the Vcc (power) pin, which smooths out the voltage spikes going to that power pin. If that's correct, then it'll probably still work without it, although you might see some intermittent failures if there are ground loops or...

    My companion quest line is bugged and I can't continue :'( I'm at the part where . Apparently its a known bug, and I had cleared a specific cave (that I just happened to come across in my travels); and that cave was supposed to be part of this Companion quest line. Pretty lame.
