Official PC thread.

I was actually looking at the A2 those and some Swans.

Does this steam sale change games everyday? Like say a game goes on sale tomorrow will that same game be on sale Monday?

If your budget is that high I'd say a Ducky Shine mechanical keyboard with Cherry Mx Brown switches Illuminated, too.
OT: Where is our keyboard elitist CWrite78? Did he get banned or something?

Have you tried clearing your CMOS or updating your BIOS?
Looking to switch up to a new Z77 board in a few weeks. Already pre-ordered.

You wouldn't like Mx Black switches if you type a lot. The keys are pretty stiff compared to the other types of switches. Found my hands getting tired pretty fast at first, but you'll get used to it. You definitely put in more effort just to type a few words, but since I graduated from college and don't write 34952394852034 papers anymore, it's all good. Mx Browns are basically Mx Blues without the clicky sound. I now find Mx Reds too soft and light; back then they felt great. It's still the best if you can try them all out in a store or something, but Mx Browns should be good.
 
did any one get the vizio laptops yets? I am pretty interested in it and i was wondering if anyone could give a quick review

I don't think it's that bad, I've been using it in Virtualbox. Not worth the upgrade though even if it's just 40
Not sure if cop or not..
I've been watching videos about it, and I feel bit confused. I don't game with my laptop at the moment and I think that if it will run smoothly etc.. I'll cop (ofc SSD first). But if it is like Vista, heeeeeelll no!
 
My gtx670 been acting funny lately, took it back to the shop for service.
its been giving me driver hhas crashed errors, or just freezes when im on diablo 3 with looping sounds from in game.
I hope the just give me a new card.

How are the temps on that chip? Have you tried overclocking it? Considering switching to that from my 2600K once I get my new Z77 board comes in.
Anybody try purchasing Open Box items from Newegg? They have the ASUS Maximus V Gene for $138.99. Free shipping, too. Sweet deal for one hell of a board.

i wanna drive 4-5 fans w/ one connection into PSU, but i dunno if it'll affect the speed of my fan.

the fan for the heat sink is usually powered from the MOBO?
