Crysis is both visually stunning and packed with fun, thrilling game play. Quite possibly the best shooter ever made. It was so hard to not be impressed by the stunning visual effects of Crysis. Created by the same people who created Far Cry back in 2004, Crysis was bound to be another big...

Hey guys, I noticed that the X58 based motherboards are roughly two and a bit CM bigger than a standard ATX. The length is still the same (30.5cm I think it is IIRC) but due to the extra bit of width, does this mean I would require a new case? Would it fit in a standard ATX case such as my Antec...

Hey guys, I don't know where this is meant to be so I guessed off topic would be best. My question, as stated in the topic title.. is: How do you quote from a website? So that you can put it in a forum or another webpage for referencing, such as OC3D do with product reviews. Much help...

Hey guys.. I'm ill as some of you know, so I thought I'd have a bit of fun. I put in my dads old Celeron 2.53GHz, single core.. and thought I'd have a bit of fun with it :) I managed to get it up to 4.5GHz without too much hassle, although it run very hot, 50°C+ in the BIOS alone so.. God knows...

Hi guys. I have thought about this and I think it is a good idea, we shall wait and see. Basically, seeing as this is such a good community, I reckon we should add eachother (with permission) to MSN in to a section known as the OC3D members, and we can have a chat on there, help each other out...
