    At&t bogo

    AT&T is having a BOGO free offer. If you are already using AT&T wireless you can upgrade your phone to an Apple I Phone 6s or Samsung Galaxy s6 and then get an additional one for free. You buy the first and get the second free on a Next 24 contract. The second line has to be new. I think...

    Thorlo

    I know 15 bucks for a pair of socks seems extreme but I myself run 30-50 miles per week and I find socks to be very important to foot health. I am not saying thorlo are my favorite but the engineered socks for specialized activites are going to help protect your feet from lots of issues. I...

    Thorlo

    I found this. I like good socks and I usually pay 10-15 a pair for good socks. 4.99 for a pair of thorlo is very good IMHO. https://www.thorlo.com/free-sock-offer/page_home No referral links through other hot deal sites. esquared Anandtech Foprum Director

    What's wrong with my CPU ? i3570k

    I thought so as well... That is why I replaced the PSU with a brand new one... and I still got the completely random shut downs... I also did a RMA on my Mother board. I bought a pretty nice corsair. Not a cheap one. Its the HX750. It replaced a TX850 which I believe was fine. Corsair even...

    How much memory do I need

    I do some moderate gaming and dont really overclock. BF4, Far Cry, Titan Fall are my kind of games. Moderate internet usage and thats about it... Do I need 16GB of Ram or is 8 plenty ?? I doubt 16GB really improves gaming performance. I plan to buy GSkill Sniper series or Corsair Brand...

    GTX 770 , so many to choose from

    interesting.... I see its not worth getting a GTX770 over my GTX670. I should at least buy a GTX780 or go SLI. I looked for a GTX670 and prices are all over the place for a EVGA gtx670

    GTX 770 , so many to choose from

    I am looking for a GTX 770 card from EVGA. I notice they are priced from about 300 to 450 on Newegg. What one has the best value, price performance price point? Newegg carries 10 EVGA GTX770 cards! Seems like to many if you ask me. I am thinking this is the sweet spot..EVGA 04G-P4-3776-KR...

    computer shuts down randomly

    take your video caard out and run with the on board GPU intel GPU. See if the vid card is causing issue? Do you have access to another PSU ? I think you have hardware issue. Swap the memory into the other DIMM slots.... reseat memory, reseat GPU... etc Can you RMA your motherboard?

    Corsair PSUs

    well I already have the HX750 coming from newegg so if I did get a new TX850 I would probably sell it. If I return the HX750 to new egg I'd probably have to pay restocking fee..... ugh!

    EVGA GTX670 Price / SLI

    I bought a EVGA GTX670 about 6 months ago I was just thinking about going SLI ... I am surprised to see the card is still over 400 bucks! Is it worth it to go SLI and Do I have to use the same card ? Perhaps I can get a GTX 660 which is about 1/3 the price. What is the performance gain ?

    i5 3570k , ASROCK Extreme 4 - Looking for Air cooler

    So I finally picked up and installed a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo. It fit into my case and already has dropped the temps nicely. The install was easy as pie. Not sure why people have issues with this? I really do need a full size case for better air flow. My Antec 300 is a bit tight.
