    FLAC to MP3 conversion software-any good freeware?

    I use something called FLACsquisher.

    TF2: Who's still playing?

    I only play it if one of my friends drag me into it. Otherwise, I'm almost 100% on Bad Company 2 if I'm gaming.

    How did you last die?

    I got hit by a 40mm grenade in BC2. Guy got me fair and square though so nothing to complain about there.

    Gaming Mouse

    My G5 does not track once I lift it beyond 5 mm. My MX518 does about the same thing. Your statement is invalid.

    Gaming Mouse

    If you dislike the feel of the G9 (I know I hated it to hell), get rid of it. Nothing makes me rage more than a mouse that I don't want to hold. The G500 is an excellent mouse.

    How often do you clean your case, cpu, and fans?

    When I care. Or when my GTX260 starts to overheat. Then I know it's time to clean that shit out.

    Why are cellphones banned in China?

    Perish and disappear from face of planet, okay.

    Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium $49.99AR FS @Newegg

    It will work fine. Just download drivers and the console launcher from Creative.

    Mass Effect on gogamer $9.90

    That game is worth so much more than 10 bucks. I can't believe I got it for $5 from Steam when it went on sale. I'd say the game by itself is worth at least $40.

    GTAIV expansions coming to PC next week

    So how much playtime do these expansions add to the original? If this ends up doubling the amount of time I spent on the original, I might consider it when it drops to say...$20.

    CM Hyper 212+, TIM application and lapping?

    Three thin lines of TIM on the metal parts in between the heatpipes. Mount the heatsink. Yes, I own one. I've tried numerous application methods and this is what worked best for me. I use dual Yate Loon D12SL-12s. EDIT: Lapping is a waste of time and money on a $30 heatsink. You'll end up...

    BC2 - great game! But... what would you change?

    I want prone so I don't have to hold crouch down for minutes at a time. Vehicles are nice but this game just doesn't have that epic battlefield feel that BF2 did. I think I'm going to go back to playing BF2.

    Haf x

    Hmm. It's butt-ugly, it has more fans than I know what to do with and I can't set my drink on top of it or I could kill my components should I spill it.

    Steam Weekend Deal: Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

    Happened to me in the demo after running for 15 minutes. Goddamn.

    This may be a stupid question, but...

    No, it'll just get less airflow than intended. However, if your PSU is efficient, it won't require that much cooling in the first place and for the most part the fan will spin at a very slow speed.

    Stock Phenom II X4 965 HSU noise comparison

    Honestly, the stock cooler with AMD's Phenom II quads are pretty good. The heatpipes and all work really well and are far better than the pieces of junk bundled with Intel's quads.

    Cooler Master HAF 932 Hard drive/vibration Problem

    No, the problem is the inherent imbalance of the hard drive platters. I have the same problem with both of my WD hard drives, among them a RE3 enterprise drive. I removed both the WDs for the week and I've slept in peace ever since.

    [over] CM Hyper 212+ for $25.17 shipped.

    This heatsink works better with a push-pull configuration. I'm doing that with some cheapo Yate Loon D12SL-12s and my Q9550 doesn't go past 42C with Prime95 for 30 minutes. Impressive results, I would say.

    4850 driver/screen corruption weirdness

    Yep, welcome to a market where RAM is three times more expensive for the same thing as a year ago, NVIDIA stopped producing the GTX260/275 because they were bleeding money, ATi getting to charge whatever they want for the HD5700/5800/5900 series while drivers are still somewhat flaky, and Intel...

    Need a new cooler for my Q6700

    Well, I've mounted and remounted the heatsink four times with varying degrees of thermal paste application and two fans (Arctic Cooling ACF12PWM and the stock fan) and I've concluded that even though my Ninja 2 had a loose pushpin, it somehow still managed to cool better than the CM212+. At the...

    Need a new cooler for my Q6700

    I just bought a CM Hyper 212+ for my Q6700. I'll let you know how that goes because with my Scythe Ninja 2, I was up to 71C after 10 minutes of OCCT Linpack at 3.33GHz at 1.3V. The AC7Pro doesn't handle quads very well.

    Accelero S1 Rev2 VGA cooler experiences?

    4850s run hot if you run the S1 R2 passively. I only run it passively during the winter, otherwise the heatsink is hot to the touch even at idle.

    What the !@#$ was Valve thinking putting that demo sword into TF2?

    Eh. Easy to bring them down as a heavy, honestly. As long as you have a medic and you keep that medic alive, it's all good in the hood.

    Just a small rant - Stop pairing hi-end headphones to DAPs.

    Do you expect everyone to buy a Marantz CD transport that outputs via optical to a $1000 DAC and then a Woo Audio 2 to a balanced HD800 with a $600 silver cable? Please. It's music. If you enjoy it, done. If you don't, get rid of it.

    Team Fortress 2 - help (I don't know what to do...!!)

    Be attentive. Focus your mind. TF2 is a fun game once you get good at it. Keep at it and don't give up.

    Who're you pulling for to win the demo/soldier war?

    For the most part, I still play heavy because the ATG Badwater server actually has class limits. Nothing better than mowing soldiers and demos down.
