    T-Mobile LG G2 vs Samsung Galaxy S4

    I can get them for around the same price with a 2 year contract with T-Mobile. Note, OIS is pretty important as I have a bit of hand tremor. The biggest thing holding me back with S4 is I'm worried pictures will turn out blurry without OIS, as the S4 only has DIS. Here's my pro's for each...

    Opinions on Vaio SA

    I'm in med school and need a notebook for streaming video lectures and lots of web browsing (question banks online) and reading ebooks. Occassionally play some games if I get bored (LoL, dota 2), and I wanted it to be small, thin, light, quiet, and not too hot. So far I have only found the...

    6950 2gb idling at 60oC and 27% fan spd

    According to GPU-Z my 6950 2gb is idling at 60oC and 27% fan, this seems high after reading the AT article on 6990. I do run two monitors, 1 @ 2560x1440, and 1@ 1680x1050, could this be the reason? Even then, it's 22 oC above the idle temp AT article mentions. My card is EVGA, and I use...

    Q6600 >3.ghz

    what does 1:1 mean? Here's what I did: Set Multiplier 9, FSB 333 just to be safe, and manually set ram freq to 400 (my ram is rated ddr2-800). CPU-Z shows ram as: 400, with FSB:DRAM ratio of 5:6. Does this mean I shouldn't manually set ram freq?

    Q6600 >3.ghz

    wait so what u do? I had my FSB set @ 367 and Ram set at auto, what should I set ram to if I want to run @ 3.3 ghz? Multiplier at 9. But occasionally unstable so does that mean I need to lower ram?

    XFX 850w vs Corsair AX850 vs Seasonic X 850

    I read some review at hardocp (jg site is down), they said the only downside about this is it runs a little hotter and it's fan isn't as good as the seasonic oem unit the xfx is based on. I think I'll just get the xfx considering price

    XFX 850w vs Corsair AX850 vs Seasonic X 850

    the xfx is 110 after rebate, the ax850 is 150 after rebate. Is the reliability of ax850 worth it over the xfx? I just need it to last 5 yrs, and I don't overclock

    XFX 850w vs Corsair AX850 vs Seasonic X 850

    which one should I get? Looking in the future to upg to: SB 2600K, stock 2x HD 6970, stock have a couple hdd and a ssd, 2 dvd-rw's, and a tv tuner The XFX is cheapest, and seasonic most expensive. Would the XFX be good enough to last 5 yrs without crapping out?

    A call to boycott Nvidia games for ATI/AMD owners

    Best bang for your buck single video cards on Feb 1st. 2011.

    I have a radeon 4870 512, my monitors are 27" and 22" dells, 2560x1440 and 1680x1050. I didn't expect it when I got the monitor, but this beast of a card runs BF BC:2 at native resolution, low settings, with fluid frame rates. And this is with programs open and running on second monitor...

    6950 vs 6970 on a Q6600 G0 @ 3ghz

    yea on one hand I'd rather upg now and get it over with, on otherhand I know that sb will price drop a ton by summer time once amd comes out with refresh. And by then hopefully mobo prices go down to. I wouldn't have any reason to upg if I didn't just get this U2711 monitor. I have to set...

    6950 vs 6970 on a Q6600 G0 @ 3ghz

    6950 vs 6970 on a Q6600 G0 @ 3ghz

    so basically you suggest a Q6600 oc'd to 3.0-3.4ghz won't bottleneck a stock setting 6950? (psu can't overclock both q66 and 6950) Also I'd like to play @ 2560x1440 resolution. And eyefinity for less intensive games like CSS or Guild wars 1/2.

    6950 vs 6970 on a Q6600 G0 @ 3ghz

    Or should I pick up a second 4870 512mb for $70 and crossfire it, and upg PSU to Seasonic X 850? (would have to upg psu sooner or later to a 850w) Also, can I crossfire 4870 with 6950?

    6950 vs 6970 on a Q6600 G0 @ 3ghz

    So which do you guys think is the best video card for this system? Prefer not to have to upg PSU, if I do then I might as well upg whole system. I have never owned an nvidia in my life (Radeon 7000 > 9500 pro > x800xt > 1950 pro > 4870), and prefer to keep it that way unless 10% more...

    Computer won't boot
