    Need a PSU 295x2

    Swapped my 780ti classified sli for a 295x2. My current PSU is a corsair 750m. Decided to pull out the killawatt and it's pulling almost 800 watts in valley. My build is below. It might be ok but it's kinda scary. A decent PSU for around 150$ would be nice. Really don't want to spend 2-400

    can you run SLI skipping the middle PCIe slot?

    I have 780TI classified in SLI. My MB has 3 PCIe slots. Currently the card are in slot 1 and 2. The bottom card blows a ton of heat into the top card. I was wondering if I could move the bottom card down to slot 3. Obviously I would need a very long SLI cable. Not sure if they make one and...

    Replace 2 780ti Classified with 2 290x Used Reference

    Miners are selling the reference 290x cards for 300$ each. I could sell the 2 780ti classified and pocket a good bit of cash. I think the performance would be about the same

    AMD - TrueAudio. Anyone using it?

    So like many of you I watched the live 290X release months ago. For several hours ALL they talked about was this TrueAudio feature. It was a huge deal but yet I have yet to really hear anyone else talking about it. Is it really a worthwhile feature? Anyone using it? How do you like it...

    snap crackle pop while PC warms up

    My rig is listed below. Seems like when it starts to heat up I hear all kinds of random noises. My guess is heat expansion. Is this normal? It usually tapers off after a bit unless pushing it hard. Ohh my case is corsair 600T.

    780 TI classified vs 780 TI superclocked

    I have the superclocked reference card and just ordered the classified. Not sure if I will run them in SLI or return the superclocked (got 14 more days at microcenter). How much of a difference should I see in the two? Considering taxes the classified was less than the 699$ super clocked.

    New gpu to replace 2x7950

    My build is below. I got paid 500$ for the 2x7950's to a miner. Now I need a new card. 1000$ budget. A single 780ti? 2x 780's or maybe 290x non reference? Several games I play (world of tanks) don't support CF. I'm playing at 1440p @120hz. Might buy another 1440 monitor soon
