Hey all, Sqaud is a game that was inspired by the original Project Reality Battlefield 2 Mod. PR:BF2 has been out for some time not and the developers have decided to create a new Tactical FPS on the new UE4 engine. They are about 4 days out from giving out Pre-Alpha access to those that have...

Hey everyone, I have been looking at 27" freesync monitors for awhile and well the only 2 that I know of are the ACER XG270HU and BENQ XL2730Z. Has anyone had the pleasure of playing on these or own them, if so would you recommend them? My plan is to buy a AMD 3xx series card and will start...

Hey everyone, I just got my desk set up after my 2 Dell U2731H arrived. I love these monitors I should have moved to at least a dual setup along time ago with one of those being an IPS monitor. The middle monitor is an Asus VS247H-P (My Gaming Monitor for now). I will upgrade my monitor once...

I am looking for some trans coding software that I can run on my server that I am working on building right now. currently I use handbrake but I would like something that is more automated like the IvI Pro for mac. It monitors folders and when there is something added to the folder it will...

When I built my pc at the beginning of this year I bought 2 corsair force GT's to run in Raid 0. Well this past week I was converting some videos over night I am assuming that something happened. The next morning I check out the conversion and the pc was running slow. I decided to reboot and...

I am working through everything for my home server and kinda stuck with what processor I should go with. For sure on board graphics so AMD is a solution I would not mind going with the only problem is I have not used them in along time. So not familiar with what they offer now days. The reason...

When I put my PC together i bought an NZXT Sentry Mix to mainly control my noctua NFF-12's for my radiator. Problem is I never got the dang thing to work with the fans. The controller would never power the fans. I tried for 2 months to get the thing RMA but no one at the warehouse or W.E would...

As some of you may recall when I was starting my build log I was going to water cool my MSI 7970 Lightning. When I looked up the water block from EK for my GPU, I noticed that it was not being sold anymore. After further investigation I found out that alot of people were having problems with the...

It has been along time since I have been on these forums and I hope I can still get the help I once did. I am wanting to build a HTPC to run Plex on so that I can leave it on during the day for music streaming and movie watching and W.E else. Right now I am using my Gaming PC which is way...

I have 2 nff12s that will be pushing air through my 240 mm rad. I have hooked it up to my NZXT Sentry mix and when I first turned it on it made this weird buzz and I turned it back off and pushed to voltage a little higher on the controller and then turned it back on. It was all good until I...

So I was reading up on some specs between some of the Z77 motherboards, as I was looking at the power phases I noticed that the MSI has 12 power phases compared to the Asus that has 16. After some further reading it does not seem to matter much the MSI boards are receiving the some if not...

As most of you know I am building an IB rig and since the time is coming for the procs to be shipped out I will be buying everything very soon. Tonight I am buying some Noctua TIM my AX850 and some longer sata cables. I have a discount right now for 15% off of all ram so should I purchase some...

So as of late I am in a debate and I cannot decide what Asus Z77 mobo I want to go with either the Asus Saber tooth or the Asus P8Z77 Deluxe. I like the sabertooth aesthetics, Thermal monitor(which is only a saber tooth software), 5 year warranty, the high end parts, and the ability to mod the...
