    USB 3.0 on the Dragon Rider

    Post from the newegg review of the In Win DR "USB cables literally are strung from inside the case through little holes and hooked right into the USB 3.0 ports on the back of the computer to power the ones at the front. It kind of screws up some of the looks of the case" Am I reading this...

    Thanksgiving Gamer

    This will be my second build in 3 years. Open to all suggestions. I am hoping this build will be good for another 3 years or so. Alot of gaming, movies, and SOME web editing. Not so much of a budget, but I'd like to stay around $1800 as I have a better chance of keeping my manhood out of my...

    560 Ti 2GB

    Has anyone had any experience with the EVGA 2GB 560 Ti? The egg has it for $280 vs $250 for the 1GB 560 Ti. Some of the reviews say it runs quite hot if you SLI and that aftermarket cooling would be a must. As far as money goes i have no problem paying $30 more for 2GB of VRAM, I just wanted...

    Overclock a Superclocked

    I am debating on if i want to get the 560 Ti or a 560 Ti superclocked, the egg currently has both for sale. I read a post somewhere that said you cannot overclock a superclocked GPU as it is already pushed to max settings. I would like to OC on my own and am wondering if that statement is true...
