    Review - New Arrival! Corsair Carbide 500R

    From what I've seen from Corsair cases, they are nothing but quality. When I get sick of my Storm Scout (which will probably be a while :D) I'll probably shell out the money for a nice Corsair full tower.

    Here is my build what do you think?

    Yeah looks to be in the mid to high-end area, that i5 will overclock wonderfully but please, please get an aftermarket CPU cooler with it because the stock one is terrible, even if you are going to just stick with stock speeds. And I second what jonny said about the 570, if you can afford to...

    i7 2600

    Yeah when I was running the stock cooler on my 2600k the temps were unacceptable under load. When idle they weren't bad, mid to high 30's at stock speeds. When I ran Prime95, though, I experienced temps in the low 90's before I stopped the program. Went out and bought a Zalman 9900 Max and now...

    What are you currently playing?

    If you pre-order it here in the US it's $60, even for the PC version.... I hate that, I want my $50 PC games back.

    What are you currently playing?

    Any opinions on Dungeon Siege III BassAddict? Was thinking about playing it but noticed it had some average reviews. Currently digging Warcraft 3 and Mass Effect 2.

    Running the Witcher 2?

    The NVS 3100 is an entry-level workstation card, and it is designed and built differently than a desktop card and is meant to render different things. Thus, it is not very good at 3D gaming, and The Witcher 2 is a very demanding game across the board. I originally played it with a Core 2 Quad...

    pc games manuals`

    If you haven't played the first one I would highly recommend doing so since there are references to it in the second game, although the second one is a new story and not really a full continuation. They are based on novels, though.

    Scratch Build: The Ultimate Computer Desk

    Do you think there will be any airflow issues with that HSF when you put on whatever side panel you're planning to have since it comes so close to the edge? Or will you cut vents to accommodate for it?

    pc games manuals`

    If you're a fan in any way of old-school RPG packaging get a physical copy of the game. So many little extras and goodies that really make the experience that much better. I bought it new for $40USD a couple weeks after it was released and was easily the best deal I've gotten on a game (in terms...

    @Linkin- Still can't get over just how huge (tall) that cooler is. It's immense, must keep the GPU nice and chilly.

    Thanks, all it needs is a sweet SATA III SSD to make it complete (and maybe another GTX 570 :D) Keep posting pictures of your rigs everyone, gives me something fun to do at work :)

    Just installed my new Zalman 9900 Max CPU cooler and love it. Ran Prime95 for 30 minutes with an ambient room temp of 24C and the CPU temp never rose above 55C - a stark contrast to the 95C+ I was getting after 5 minutes of Prime95 on the stock cooler. My only complaint is that the red LED on...

    XFX Radeon 6970 Black Edition Gone??

    They may be beginning to discontinue a lot of the specialized models of Radeon 6xxx series cards because the 7xxx series is right on the horizon.

    Official Screenshot Thread

    Too bad, I can think of a million ways to make a game like that fun, none of which involve collecting beer bottles in a zombie apocalypse.
