    AT World of Warcraft Thread (Warlords, Where do you play, General BS and all that)

    Full 660 now in conquest gear. Core RBG team will hopefully push tonight so I can get near 2k. Monday night was brutal. One major healer dc'd in one game, warlock ddos'd in another (still won mines 9v10), and queued one of the best teams in NA on the 3rd game and let them win.

    AT World of Warcraft Thread (Warlords, Where do you play, General BS and all that)

    Any disc/hunters with some 660 pieces not have a 3's team on horde? I'm a ret with 6pcs of 660 gear (chest/shoulders/legs/ring/trinket/cloak) + weapon. Would like to push 3's and it'd be quite easy if we tried.

    AT World of Warcraft Thread (Warlords, Where do you play, General BS and all that)

    Any of you doing any PvP Horde side? My ret in full PvP gear is ilvl628. Would ideally like to find a disc/hunter to just bash our face on the keyboards and grab a 1700-1800 rating in 3's.

    **OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

    I wish I could get an invite :( Even if it's only a few hours worth of gameplay, I'd still like to test it out.

    Battlefield 3 performance thread

    i7 950 8gb ram gtx 580 @1080p With the 285.62 drivers ultra/high combo was barely playable. Using the beta drivers and all high settings with no AA and it's playable. Quite disappointed in that I can't seem to run it higher without the game crapping out.

    BF3 Beta reviews/impressions

    I would really enjoy the game more if you didnt fall through the damn map or lose all your unlocks in game on the frequent dc's. Would like it also if they had 3-4 maps, not one meh one and one that is locked and always full. The changing settings only while alive is quite possibly the dumbest...

    NON-gaming Logitech Illuminated Keyboard, any better?

    1. Yes. It has ghosting, which is why I returned it and ordered a G110. You don't seem to want to play games with it, so it most likely won't be an issue for you. 2. There's one button that controls the backlighting settings for the keyboard. If you leave the backlighting on, you don't have to...

    Recovering Overritten Data?

    His old email address and new email address are the same, but the new one is using gmail. When he went to set up imap, he just made changes to his original email account instead of adding the new gmail account to apple mail to copy his emails over. By changing the original account, it wiped all...

    Hp 42" monitor!

    One thing that I found nice about hp monitors is the ability to purchase an extended warranty at any point during the initial warranty period. I bought a 25" lcd dirt cheap from ultimate electronics in their last 2 days, and it cost me $22 to extend the warranty to 2 years from purchase date...

    Recovering Overritten Data?

    Not sure if he's ever done any manual backups. He's asleep right now, I can ask him through gchat later when he wakes up. Other than a backup though, is there no way to recover those files?

    Recovering Overritten Data?

    My co-worker in Hong Kong made a terrible mistake when attempting to import all of his data from the mail client that comes with Snow Leopard into a new corporate Gmail account. Instead of creating a new account like he was supposed to, he changed the existing account (as the email addresses are...

    Asus direct CU gtx 580 owners needed for questioning

    I haven't run furmark or any stress tests on mine, but from a gpu-z log the highest temps I saw were 53 degrees at 21% fan speed and 91% load. Depending on how high I have the heat in my apartment, it idles between 29-34 degrees. I haven't overclocked it yet either, so can't help you there...

    GTX 580 issue with hdmi

    Don't know. It's the Gtx 580 Direct Cu II. I haven't had any other problems with the connection and it's only on a cold boot which is weird. I'll try another hdmi cable, and if anything, could always get a dvi to hdmi cable.

    GTX 580 issue with hdmi

    While it's not exactly a major issue, it is quite annoying, and I'm curious if there's a solution. My 26" lcd tv is connected to my 580 via hdmi. When I boot the pc up, the display works perfectly fine. When it gets to the login screen, the screen goes black, but if I unplug and re-plug the...

    HP Zacate 11.6" laptop now only $375 shipped

    The best price I can get it to now is $419 + taxes. The $30 coupon won't stack with a student account discount, and I don't have an epp account. It's about $600 if I bought it base and went ahead myself and added a SSD or XT drive & bumped it up to 8 gigs of ram. Not a terrible deal, but the...

    Asus GTX 580 DirectCU II On The Egg

    Just got mine in. Packaging is quite nice with lots of foam to protect the card. I was quite surprised at how small the box is compared to MSI's box for their 6970. Will take pictures later once I get home from work and install it and finally get my computer up and running.

    Possible hot deal: Ultimate Electronics

    Went in to the one near me, and nothing that special. The only decent deal was Starcraft 2 for 20% off. I suppose if no one really goes into them and lots of items are still available when it hits 60-70%, then it might be worth buying some stuff.

    Seasonic X650 enough to power this card?

    Thank you for all the responses. If the question is better suited for the power supply forum and the moderator would like to move it there, that is fine with me. I was just concerned about putting too much stress on the PSU if the 580 were to run at full load with the i7-950.

    Just ordered the new Evga Gtx 570 HD

    It denotes warranty length. The ar cards have a lifetime and kr dont. If you look on evgas website they explain the difference.

    Cooler for i7 950

    Only downside is it doesn't come with fans, and I'd assume it'd be another ~$30 to toss two decent fans on it, making it ~$90 as opposed to the $55 frio. I'd just hate to buy the frio to find out that it won't fit in the 922, whereas the megahalems should definitely fit.

    Cooler for i7 950

    Have an i7 950 in a haf 922 and looking for some cooler suggestions. So far the frio & v6gt are at the top of my list, but want to make sure they fit in the case if anyone has any experience putting either in a 922. My max budget is around $70, and I'm buying in the US.
