    Currently this is my rig: CPU: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1793417 GPU: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/n67w9/ I'm happy with everything (and it's stable after testing for two days) except my RAM. I've never tweaked RAM timings and not sure if I put the voltage up to 1.65 if I...

    Mumble Vs. Vent and thoughts

    My buddy and I are starting a host service for Mumble. Was curious what everyone thought so far: https://www.mumbleserverhost.com/ I used Vent for years with WoW but Mumble seems leaps and bounds better to me. Playing Rift and FPS with the noise cancellation and amplitude set for voice...

    Economic upgrade to CF 5770's

    I want to upgrade my CF 5770 setup. I could splurge on a 6950 before they fix the flash to 6970 ordeal but it's a little pricey, mainly gaming rig in sig.

    Programs to monitor

    I know this is a really novice thing to ask, but I just built my first rig ever and was curious what applications are best for monitoring all aspects of the rig. I want to make sure it's not running to hot, the HD is reading and writing at the expected level, I assume I can just use the ATI...

    Crossfiring 5770's

    Is it worth it in a p55 chipset MB(In sig)? I've read several places the second card doesn't get enough power in the second slot, I'ev never SLI or CF'd anything before so I'm a novice at this stuff.

    HT an i7 860

    As far as a gaming machine, is it really going to improve performance that much? I honestly don't know enough about HT to make a decision, and I thought I'd throw it out there to you guys. The rig is in my sig, all stock speeds right now.

    Cleaning (may be a stupid question but just want to check)

    I have to RMA my mobo today... So here's the silly question, I'm pretty sure I know the answer: I should clean the thermal paste off the chip and heatsink with the disposable coffee filters immediately correct? When the new mobo comes, clean then heatsink and mobo one more time before...

    Raid0

    I have two of these, I was debating a SSD or WD VR but would it be worth it at all just to RAID0 these two drives? At least till prices come down? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148395

    Ht & oc

    I have a i7 860, and I mostly use the computer for gaming, graphic design, general use, etc... I was wondering if hyper threading was even worth it, I run some small instances of sql also, but they're more for tickering and I only allow them to use minimal resources. Also, is there a point to...
