Hey mates, looking for some suggestions today.... Thinking about pulling my PC out of it's tiny little Fractal case and putting it in something with a bit more room. I'd like to swap over my CPU cooling to water as well. What are some high quality cases on the market that are setup to accept...

Just replaced my pair of CF R7 370's with an R9 390X after many many years of sitting stagnant. This is my photo editing and light gaming rig, it serves it's purpose very very well! Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Mobo AMD FX-8370 @ 4.7ghz (Cooled by a Thermalright Silver Arrow) 32Gb G. Skill...

Just want to make sure my temps are safe for my chip. I've got it mildly volted for my 4.7ghz prime stable OC. My 100% load temps teeter between 59-60*C. Is that a safe range? Idle temps are 29-30*C. Using an old but epic monster sized Thermalright Silver Arrow for cooling.

I just ordered a GTX 980 Ti to replace a pair of Crossfired R7 370's that were very much lacking in the graphics processing power department. I do very minimal gaming but I have a 4K Dell monitor that I use, which really pushed the limits of what the 370's could do in games at 3840x2160. After...

Howdy brethren. Long time no chat. So I built my rig about 6 years ago with 2 x 6870's (1gb). Last week I decided to order a 27" 4k monitor for my photo editing. I no longer game, at all, on my PC, so I am not worried about trying to be able to run games on a 4k set. I am strictly...

It takes great restraint to let a PC sit for 2.5 years, untouched, un-upgraded.... But I have achieved this feat. Let's see if I can go for 5 years. :huh: Specs (as far as I can remember....) -AMD Phenom X6 @ 4.2ghz -Asus Sabertooth 990FX -16gb G.Skill Ripjaws X (I think.... ???) -2 x...

Hit me up on PSN, always looking for people to play BF4, Killzone, NFS Rivals, etc with.... ThePwnyExpress_

Any other PS3 BF3 players out there? So many great enhancements from the beta to include the graphics. EA & DICE have outdone themselves with BF3, this games is sheer epicness! I'm off to bed unfortunately, wish I could stay up and play all night. ThePwnyExpress_ if you want to add me.

It's pretty fun, I burn some free time on it every now and again. http://battlefield.play4free.com/en/ Add me as a friend if you do "FragTek".

So I just installed the 11.10 preview drivers as they are supposed to be optimized for BF3 and all that.... However they seem much worse to me than the 11.9 WHQL drivers. They have made the game unplayable on this end. I get constant artifacting, sometimes the screen will have a blue tint to...

Each of my 6870's came with a code, I obviously I don't need 2 copies of the game. First person to post here that they want it will receive the code!

The first box of rebuild parts showed up today to include the Sabertooth and 2 HD 6870's. Silver Arrow came last week. Fractal R3, 1090T, and PSU are slated to arrive tomorrow. Let the rebuild begin! photo by 10 Gauge, on Flickr

It looks to just be a PCI-E 1x interface. I found them on eBay for $18. If it will work, I'll pick one up to replace the onboard sound on the Sabertooth. Thx.

I just got laid off from my job.... Not sure what to do now, that was my bread and butter. Unfortunately we were getting really low on work and the boss told me he had to make a tough decision and cut 3 spots, and me being one of the 3 newest employees I got cut. So, now I have a blown up...

What's your opinion? I am going to assume OC'ability is exactly the same between the two boards? Same NB, same basic design, same power setup? Sabertooth Advantage: -Price -1 more SATA port than Crosshair V Crosshair Advantage: -X-Fi Audio -ROG Connect What say the people?
