    SLI Temps?

    So, I just moved the fan off the door to the drive cage and that gave even better performance. Heaven benchmarks temps dropped to the 60's. I will put the 140mm on the door aimed at the cards. Yes, my upper 120mm is an exhaust and the top bays are open. I have been thinking about...

    SLI Temps?

    No room next to the PS and also my bottom slot is only a x4. I'm stuck with the cards adjacent. As soon as I get the 140mm I will move the 120mm to blow right on the card edges.

    SLI Temps?

    The door on my case has space for two 140mm fans. I moved the one on the bottom to the side blowing directly on the GPUs'. It helped for about 5 degrees. I have a 140mm on order.

    GTX 660 in SLI Benchmarks?

    Hi All, I did not want to spend a bunch of money, given how little time I actually spend gaming. I picked up a second GTX 660 (GTX660-DC2O-2GD5) for SLI on eBay for $100 and I'm pretty thrilled the upgrade! So far I have tested BF3, Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands 2, Portal 1/2 and things...

    GTX 660 in SLI Benchmarks?

    I have a ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (GTX660-DC2O-2GD5) and I was thinking of getting a second one and trying SLI. I was having trouble finding some benchmarks that would tell me how this setup would perform. Any pointers or advice?

    Cherry MX Brown Keyboards?

    Yes I did. They went on sale for $99 last week so I decided to give it a another shot. I bought my first one from Amazon Prime but it was fulfilled by a third party. The latest one I got directly from NewEgg so I prob. got newer stock.

    Cherry MX Brown Keyboards?

    I'm very happy with my second G710+ with the browns w/ rings. I like it even better than my Alps which feels like a model M. I'm fairly sure there has been a engineering change in the logitech. I pulled about 20 caps and all are solid.

    Starter gaming monitor

    I got this for about $240 with free shipping on a sale at Rakuten earlier this year. I would give it a solid 8/10. There is some backlight bleed but I need to look for at night. http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=114&cp_id=11401&cs_id=1130703&p_id=10509&seq=1&format=2 Is driven from a...

    New Logitech G710

    Apparently you have to send the keyboard into Logitech. They don't appear to send replacement caps. I bought my first one through Amazon Prime so it was a painless return, I did not have to pay shipping.

    New Logitech G710

    I decided to give the G710+ one more try. They are on sale at NewEgg for $99. That makes it worthwhile, even if I need to get a new set of keycaps down the road. Thanks for all the input.

    Cherry MX Brown Keyboards?

    Is it true that the Rosewell RK-9100xRBR, the Max Keyboard Nighthawk X9, and the Tesoro Durandal Ultimate G1NL are all the same keyboard electrically? Some of the reviews of the RK-9100xRBR complained about cheap keycaps as well. I really would be happy with G710+ that did not break. The...

    Looking for a new keyboard. I tried a Logitech G710+ buy it came with the backspace key pre-broken. Broken keycaps seem to be an issue with this board. Im looking at the Corsair K70 but it is a little spendy. I do want backlight, audio controls and a 10-key pad. I looked at the...

    These do: http://www.computerpoweruser.c.../25r01/25r01.asp&guid= I tried playing with the motherboard CPU Core voltage and I got it up above 1.6V but CPU-Z never reports a core voltage that changes from 1.568V so I backed it off.
