    Intel 750 Series AIC 400GB PCI-Express 3.0 help

    I got this for a really good deal but I cannot get it to boot from my mobo. ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+ which I also got a realy good deal on. I am guessing there is a compatability issue or maybe something I am overlooking. The system can use it to store data just fine but will not...

    OFFICIAL World Of Tanks

    @ bot tru it isn't very often you see someone in a KT that knows what they are doing with it. Imo an is3 would beat it unless there was a skilled kt and an unskilled is3. @ tatty those were kinda my thoughts......back when i did my kt i always ended up in tierx matches which made the grind...

    OFFICIAL World Of Tanks

    weird patch......some reason i got 25k xp and 64k credits as well as most of my german tanks were de-equipped and re-equipped with stock modules which i sold and made about 500k. on top of that im probably gonna sell the superp for 7200g so far the patch is looking up really like the missions...

    OFFICIAL World Of Tanks

    I guess my biggest gripe is the artillery balancing act. IMO most of the tiers are fairly balanced EXCEPT IX and X which seems to receive all the excess artillery held back from the other tiers. Which I really don't mind too much regarding tier X since most of the tanks are already maxed out...

    What was your primary reason to get watercooling?

    Going to liquid cooling(especially for gpu's) is one of those moments when you get mad at yourself for not doing it earlier. I have been using the same cooling system I put together for almost 6 years without 1 single issue or need to upgrade the cooling system. The benefits far outweigh the...

    OFFICIAL World Of Tanks

    i played this game hardcore for a while but got out of it...i come back from time to time to sample the new content but the last 2 patches are a huge improvement over some of the things that really pissed me off about the game. far as grinding...when i play...just about everything since my fav...

    AMD Selected by U.S. Government to Help Engineer and Shape the Future of HPC

    Hate to say it but stepping out of desktop processor competition was the best move they have made recently.........seems they are using the loot to invest in diversification/future tech. Really top of the line chips are stagnant anyway....the current processors are years beyond most consumer...

    AMD and Google in Race to Buy Out MIPS

    i must say if i had the disposable income i might consider investing in AMD. I am starting to like their approach to diversification....i just hope they do not spread their resources too thin and have to spin off their investments before they can produce fruitful returns. ^ that would be funny...

    EA is Consumerist's Worst Company in America for 2012

    i have to agree. I don't think EA is the greatest but cmon! look at the fuel companies.....gasoline shouldn't cost more than 2.50 a gallon based on the price of oil. ubisoft is hands down the worst videogame company imo.

    Radeon HD 7970 Price Cuts Not Any Time Soon: Report

    their stance makes sense.......i agree that it makes no sense for amd to cut prices right now bc they would have to reduce all their prices to compete with just the 680 and if they reduce price on just the 7970 it would detract from the adjacent cards in AMD's lineup.....basically once NV has a...

    AMD to Acquire SeaMicro: Accelerates Disruptive Server Strategy

    Origin Expands Games Catalog, DRM-Free Evangelist Joins DRM Scheme

    I haven't really formed an opinion of origin yet. I haven't really looked into origin.....i have bf3 but to enjoy the game requires an internet connection anyway. I will give them a fair shake before passing judgement...if it is like steam then I will not have any issue with it...
