    Best Powered USB Hub That Doesn't Light Up

    Thanks. I'll probably go with one of them, but all of them seems to light up when powered.

    Best Powered USB Hub That Doesn't Light Up

    I'm looking for a good powered USB hub that doesn't light up or glow in the dark or at least as nondistracting as possible. Don't really need a whole lot of ports but obviously more is better. Top priority is reliability/safety. Really don't want it shorting my USB ports or anything like...

    Will a new batch of coolers come out for the Core i7 processors or will the current ones work just fine?

    Asus P5Q Deluxe worth the money over P5Q Pro?

    I'm still trying to decide between the two boards. Does the P5Q Deluxe have overclocking advantages? What about room for tower hsfs?

    GTX 260 216 vs GTX 260 Superclocked

    It seems some games take advantage of faster cores while some take advantage of more shaders. I'm really tempted to just go with the old vanilla 260 since the price is so good.

    Does the Noctua U12P fit the Asus P5Q Pro?

    GTX 260 216 vs GTX 260 Superclocked

    You can get a GTX 260 216 for about the same money as a faster clocked GTX 260. The reviews of the GTX 260 216 say it's about 5-15% faster than the old GTX 260. But what about the superclocked GTX 260? Same performance?

    Higher Clocked GTX260 vs 4870 1gb

    After reading the XFX GTX260XX review over at [COLOR="Blue"]ard, I was leaning towards that direction until the 4870 1gb came out. Now I'm not sure. Price is very similar between the two. Which card is generally better for 1920X1200 gaming?

    Asus P5Q Deluxe worth the money over P5Q Pro?

    I know this has been asked a million times, but with the deals going on for the P5Q Pro, means that the Deluxe now costs almost double that of the Pro. Is it worth the money? I do not plan to crossfire. The almost $100 in savings can be applied to a better video card. The Deluxe however does...

    Corsair 620HX vs 750TX

    I read a review that said the 750TX is louder than the 620HX. I think I might go with the 620HX if this is true.

    P45 chipsets,

    I am trying to figure out whether to go with a Asus P5Q Deluxe or Rampage. I do plan to CF, but I really don't want to pay a premium for the X48 chipset. What I'm thinking is that if you don't play at the highest resolutions on games that push your system to the limits, an X48 chipset will...

    ATi 4870 X2 (R700) previews thread

    So there's really few reasons to go buy two 4870 to crossfire rather than a single 4870x2?

    ATi 4870 X2 (R700) previews thread

    I assume that once the 4870x2 gets released, the price of a 4870 will drop. Now if two 4870 will be cheaper than one 4870, will it be worth it to get two 4870 instead? I wonder which setup would be faster.

    P45 vs x48 for Radeon 4870x2

    Thanks for the link. That is the first time I saw comparisons like that. Considering the price difference, between top X48 and P45 boards, it's a hard call for that extra 5-15%.

    P45 vs x48 for Radeon 4870x2

    Slightly off topic but relevant. Say I was to run two 4870s or 4850s. How much of a performance boost will I see going with an X48?

    Asus Rampage for Crossfire?

    I'm more or less an Asus fanboy when it comes to motherboards so I'm definitely going with Asus. So with the Rampage and Crossfire, does it matter whether I put a quadcore cpu in there or the E8500?

    Asus Rampage for Crossfire?

    I plan to either get a 4870 and crossfire later or wait for the 4870x2(R700). I was previously looking at the Asus P5Q Deluxe but was told that for crossfire, the X48 chipset is better. I was also looking at getting the E8500. My question then is that if I go with an x48 chipset (perhaps the...

    ATI 4850 or 4850x2 or 4850?

    Thanks for the advice guys. I use to upgrade often, but I haven't upgraded my last build in many years so if I do go with dual 4850s, I really won't be upgrading until at least a year or two later. You guys are really making me think twice about going with the 4850. I'm still tempted to go...

    ATI 4850 or 4850x2 or 4850?

    The prices seem so good right now that I'm anxious to start my new build. I'm thinking of either getting a 4850 now, getting two 4850 and be done with it, or getting a 4870 and adding another one later. I'm thinking that a 4870x2 would be out of my price range, although the upgrade possibilities...

    Are there any benefits to going with the Deluxe for overclocking and crossfire purposes?

    Corsair 620HX vs 750TX

    I want a modular PSU, but the 750TX is slightly cheaper than the 620HX right now. And if it has more power, performs just as well/better and is just as quiet and reliable then it's pretty much a no brainer absent the TX not being modular?

    Corsair 620HX vs 750TX

    Which one is better? The 620HX has tons of reviews, while the 750TX is pretty new. Which one is better build quality/performance wise? Quietness? The 750TX is actually cheaper than the 620HX now.

    *Official* ASUS P5Q Deluxe Intel P45 Board Thread

    Sorry if this has been asked. I tried doing a search but couldn't exactly find the answer. Is the P5Q Deluxe worth the money over the P5Q-E? I plan to put the E8500 in there and would overclock a bit. Will most likely put a Radeon HD4850 or 4870.

    First Upgrade in Years: New Case and PSU?

    I am looking to build a system based on value this time around. I'm thinking of building a system based on the Asus P5Q (not sure about version), the Intel E8400/8500, and a graphics card in the $200-300 range (probably won't have crossfire at least initially). I do plan to overclock a bit, but...

    First Upgrade in Years: New Case and PSU?

    It has been years since I upgraded my computer and I'm completely out of the loop now. I have an old Chenbro Genie with I believe an Antec Truepower 350 PSU. I'm thinking that I should think about upgrading my case? The Antec P182 gets recommended a lot, and while I don't exactly like the...
