I have two XFX HD 6870 cards in Crossfire, they're reference cards, and I was looking at some after market coolers since with the stock coolers they run kind of hot. Anyone have any suggestion? Something black or blue (or both) is preferred since my rig unintentionally has a black/blue theme...

My 2500k use to run fine with an overclock at 4.6GHz but recently I've noticed a decrease in performance to see that it's maxing out at 3995.3MHz as shown here: Anyone know why this is happening? Is there something in the BIOs I need to fix/change? Full specs:

So my friend gave me some parts from his old build which include the following; MSI NF750-G55, AMD Phenom II X4 955, and CORSAIR XMS3 4GB 1600MHz. I have a spare case and psu to used them with, a Lexa S and a BFG Tech GS-550 550watt power supply. All I need is a graphics card for it all. I'd say...

Haven't posted here in a very very long time, got a bit more involved elsewhere, but it's nice to be back! Anyways.. These are my current specs: The Q6600 is currently overclocked to 3.2GHz and is cooled by an Antec KÜHLER H₂O 620. I plan on upgrading the CPU at some point and currently...

So I was offered a 1gb GTS 250 by a friend who is upgrading their computer. He said I can have for $50. Now I know it's not a top of the line card, but it is better than my current 512mb 4670. In the US I can get the 1gb GTS 250 for about $120 new. Thing is I've been saving for a 5750 or a 5770...

I'm trying to reinstall crysis but I kepp getting an error message. It seems like it's missing a file, does that mean my disc is damaged or something? I'm pretty confused. Screen shot of the error is attached.

While browsing the forums I noticed a lot of you guys have RAM heat spreaders (probably there by default, not 3rd party), are those things really worth it? I may be getting a 4gb PNY DDR2 kit soon that has them for $70 , or I can try and find another 2gb DDR2 Kingston stick that doesn't have one...

I originally got this PC from a friend who was going to dump it, but I saved since I didn't have a PC (I'm a Mac user, being using them for 15 years. I'm 18 now.) and I want a gaming PC. I was a really outdated rig. Over the past 2 months I got some new parts and made myself a decent gaming PC...

I just upgraded my CPU and motherboard. and I have already ordered some more RAM since I only have 2gb right now. I currently have an ATI 4670 512mb and I was thinking it's probably time to upgrade. I want to avoid a bottleneck since my CPU isn't the best. I have about $150 USD to spend on a new...
