    Kingwin PSUs?

    Any good? I know they're not going to be the greatest, absolute top of the line models, but are they any good? the few reviews I've seen tend to rate them pretty highly and they have the features I want at a price I like -Wes

    CPU-Z not showing Core voltage

    UPS delivered an MSI H55-GD65 to me today to replace the H55-ED55 that wasn't acting right. Installed my i3-540, Diamond 4890 and 4 gigs of Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600 ram. Fire everything up, fire up CPU-Z and prime95 to run a baseline on this board before I start OC'ing it. First thing I notice is...

    budget gaming headphones

    Like the title says, looking for a nice, but low priced, set of headphones to be used for first person shooter gaming. Surround sound would be nice but not required. I've never been much of an audiophile so aslong as it sounds as good as a factory pair of ipod/iphone headphones I'll be good to...

    Too many choices. need some help.

    I'm currently running a Q6600 on an MSI P43 board with a GTS 250. I game on a 24" widescreen monitor at 1920x1080. Christmas came along and I thought taking a trip down the SLI path would be a great plan, and I was wrong. I picked up an MSI 750i board that was crap and from what I've read most...

    adding LED fans to HAF 922 on/off switch

    Title pretty much explains it. I'm looking to add 2 120 red LED fans on the side panel and would like to add the LEDs to the on off button. I don't have any spare LED fans around to pull open and mess with. Seems like it should be fairly straight forward but I'm unfamiliar with LEDs. Thanks! -Wes
