    Best wireless gaming mouse on the market?

    Hi all, My Sidewinder X8 has seen better days. It works fine, but unfortunately doesn't recharge it's battery properly. So I'm seeking a replacement. Is the Logitech G700s currently considered one of the best wireless gaming mice out there? It seems ideal, as it appears to function as a...

    R9 290 vs GTX 780 in Australia.

    Hi guys, I'm looking to pick up a new card to replace my GTX 570, and am deciding between the R9 290, and the GTX 780. First of all, I live in Australia, so GeForce gaming bundles are out (may have shifted my decision), and for some reason, the BF4 bundle only seems to apply to the 290X, and...

    GSM networks in California

    Hi all, I'm about to head to the US for the first time to visit family, and I just checked out the roaming rates from my mobile phone carrier (needless to say, I would rather be cut off from the world than pay those rates). My relatives over there are with Verizon, but that's out of the...

    Where to place an SSD?

    Hi all. I am currently running an X58/ICH10R system. My motherboard has the 6x SATA2 ports from the southbridge, plus an additional 6x SATA3 ports via add-in chips (4 of them are from Marvell SE9120 chips, and the other 2 are from a Marvell SE9128 chip). In addition to these, I have an Asus U3S6...

    Cogage mounting mechanism interchangeable with TRUE?

    Hi, I've had a Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme for a few years (original revision), and when the time came to upgrade to Core i7, I didn't want to shell out another $70 (Australian) for another of the same cooler, so I bought an Asus P6T which has mounting holes for socket 775 as well as 1366...

    Reverse eSATA?

    Hi all, I'm currently choosing a motherboard for my next build, and was wanting a board to support AT LEAST 8 hdd's. With most Intel boards, this leaves the optical drive on the outer, which is kind of ok, because I can use USB for the burner... but it also attracted me to Gigabyte's UD5...

    WD6400AAKS vs WD6400AACS

    Hi guys, I just bought a Western Digital 640GB HDD, as I've been very pleased with them in the past. I have a RAID 0 array of 2 of these drives, and wish to add a third to migrate it to a RAID 5 array (with a mind to eventually add a fourth drive for a little wiggle room). To my horror, it...

    Q6600 won't overclock

    Hi all, I've been running my E7200 at 3.8GHz for quite a while now on my Gigabyte EP35C-DS3R, and recently acquired a Q6600. It didn't run at 400x9 @ 1.425v (probably needed 1.45v), so I dropped back to 333x9 for the time being. I later tried to up it to 400x8, and ever since, it will only run...

    PCI-express slots

    Hi all, I was wondering if it was possible to run a PCI-express x1 card in a full length x16 slot (albeit only having 4 lanes) designed for graphics cards?

    Audigy 2 on 775Dual-VSTA

    Hi, I am trying to get my Audigy 2 to run on my AsRock 775Dual-VSTA, however it crashes once the driver is installed. The system is stable without the sound card, and the sound card works fine in other motherboards. I know from other forums that I'm not the only one to experience this, but has...

    Overclocking on a Gigabyte P35C-DS3R

    Hi, I purchased a Gigabyte P35C-DS3R motherboard a few days ago, and much to my chagrin (amidst my excitement about overclocking), found that it doesn't have a 1:1 memory divider. I have an E6300, along with DDR2-800 Memory (Samsung). Now, with this 400MHz memory, I should have plenty of...
