Hello again guys. My search for a decent graphics card is going in circles. I've read a lot of posts on other forums of people having really bad luck regarding their brand new 2070's. Artifacts, bluescreens and game freezes after a couple of days to a week. I'm wondering if the new 20xx series...

Hey guys! Time has come for a graphics overhaul. My old GTX 770 with BenQ GL2450 has aged well, but now I've stepped up the game and ordered myself a Asus Rog Swift PG279Q. I'm looking for a GPU to pair with this beast of a monitor. 2070's seems like the logical choice for buttersmooth gaming...

Hello guys, as some of you know, I'm resurrecting my old rig (project log found here). Trouble is, I can't for the life of me install windows XP or Vista on it. I can however install Ubuntu 14.04 on it with no effort whatsoever (everything is installed from a USB drive, the ISO convertion...

I wanted to share this rig with you all because of all the help I got from here. Cheers to Feronix and Wraithguard for all the helpful advice. The hardware: CPU: Intel Pentium G3440 Dual core 3.30 GHz Mobo: Gigabyte H81M-S2H Socket 1150 MATX RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600 MHz Low Profile PSU...

Hello all! Lately my fingers have been itching like crazy, and I first meant to cut out the mobo tray and essentials from my old P180 case and build a wooden case, but I haven't got the heart to do that. Way too sentimental, and it's a pretty decent case, so I thought that I'd resurrect it...

Hello peeps! I've been wondering what to do with my golden oldie. If I would just scrap her, or give her away or make it into a HTPC. Thing is, converting her into a HTPC would give her another purpose before silicon heaven. Which I would like, since I worked my ass off to be able to buy her...

Hello peeps. Thinking of selling my trusted Genelec's and getting a home cinema system. Been looking at the Yamaha RX series and Harman Kardon AVR series amplifiers. Have no idea on the speakers, looking for a 5.1 system. Basically what I want with this is to connect my computer, TV and xbox...

So after 45 hours of playtime in Dragon Age: Inquisition I started to get, in some areas, massive lag spikes. FPS dropping to around 5, making it completely unplayable. Luckily I found a very easy fix (better late than ever). Simply disable Origin overlay in game. You can do this by selecting...

Hello folks, So I have this olde Creative Soundblaster Audigy SE lying around somewhere. Do you think it's better than my onboard Asus CrystalSound 2.0? Haven't really used the Soundblaster that much. I'm liking the Asus software. Plan to connect the soundcard to a Behringer mixer, then got...

Hello OC3D After finishing CoD AW campaign, I of course wanted to try multiplayer. But I'm getting error messages that states unable to connect to the servers. So I tried a ping test which gave me this result: Why does this happen and can I fix it? My router is a pretty cheapo A-Link: I...

Hello OC3D, time has come for my old trusted wireless logitech basic mouse to take a break. So I'm searching for a solid all rounder with emphasis on comfort in the 50€ range. I have pretty big hands so I want a big mouse. Also would like 2-5 extra mouse buttons. I play all kinds of games...

Hello people. So I got my rig up and running and tried gaming on it a bit. After a few hours of gaming Divinity: Original Sin on ultra settings (not the most demanding game in the world), I saw that the temperature inside the case was 39 degrees celsius. Measured between the top of the mobo...

Since we have a thread for currently listening and bodybuilding and hot babes, why not one for instruments? Something for all the musicians here on OC3D. :) So the questions: - Which instruments do you play? (manufacturer/model?) - How long have you played it? - Do you have a band? (youtube...

Help! No signal detected [almost solved] Hi guys. Got my brand new rig up and running yesterday installed windows and drivers and ran it smoothly for the whole evening. Until I flicked that damned EZ XMP switch on the motherboard. After that it says No signal detected on the monitor and it goes...
