I paid 1450$ canadian dollars for mine without the monitor. CPU: Intel Core I7 950 @ 3.07 GHz stock cooler Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth X58 USB/SATA 3.0 Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (8-8-8-24-2N) Video: Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce GTX 470 Super Overclock Series + WindForce...

Why are you selling the 920 ? You could get the 950 for 300$ but I doubt it would make much difference.

The title says it all. These 2 monitors currently sell for the same price, which one should I buy ? The LG is one year old and doesn't use LED technology while the Samsung came out a few months ago. Technically, the BX2450 is probably superior but what about image quality ?

I couldn't find AD700 anywhere in Montreal Canada so those are pretty much out of the question. So I went and bought the K99 and here are my impressions: -very good for music and movies, solid bass -decent for games -decent noise cancelling aka I can't hear the PC rumbling After a few hours...

I am considering the AKG K99 which is currently $69.99 at a local store: http://www.long-mcquade.com/products/538/Pro_Audio_Recording/Headphones/AKG/K99_Semi_-_Open_Headphones.htm What's best for gaming beween semi-open and closed ? Does anyone have any experience with AKG headphones ? Btw...

I moved the additional fan and now the temps reach 85 degrees. I plan on buying another fan to keep the videocard cool. I'm not worried anymore as I played GTA 4 and Mafia 2 lately which stress out quite a lot the CPU and the temps only reached 60 degrees.

I ran the diagnostic and everything was ok. The drive is also faster than my other WDs. I noticed a difference when installing large software such as games. I hope it will become less intrusive in the long run and maybe I'll go for a SSD in the future if prices fall.

I used prime95 and realtemp.

It's on the stock cooler but why would Intel design such a crappy heatsink for a 600$ processor (price dropped recently) ? There must be a threshold above which the processor will automatically reduce its performance so basically I'm not getting what I paid for. Here are a few pictures around...

My new Core I7 950 idles at around 40 degrees C and goes up to 90 degrees C in full load. It is NOT overclocked. The Coolermaster Advanced 690 II comes with 3 fans. One 140mm in front, providing air flow into the HDD, a 120mm in the back and another 140mm on top blowing air out of the case...

Thanks for the replies. I will do those tests on Sunday and I'll probably record the noise and post a short video on youtube. My back-up consists of an external drive. It's also a Western Digital and you can barely hear it. The problem is that if I return it, I have to pay shipping and a 15%...

Hey guys, I recently installed a Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA3 6GB/S 7200RPM 64MB Cache HDD in a Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced. I installed Windows 7 without any probs and everything is working fine. However, the HDD is making a loud grinding noise whenever it's in use and I'm not...

Can you run both profiles at the same time ?

You can't play any decent RTS games on the console. You can't play any decent TBS games on the console. You can't play any decent H&S or RPGs on the console (even Dragon Age is made with the PC in mind). You can't play online shooters on dedicated servers on the console. There's no Starcraft 2...

Hey guys, I have a 8800 GTS (stock) ready for PhysX alongside a GTX 470. The GTX 470 is overclocked with Rivatunner but I can't use 2 profiles at the same time so is there a way to make use of the 8800 GTS at OC frequencies ?
