@Jambumali, yes. @cranky, living with it for now. As I said, the machine runs for 2 hours a week ;-)

Just discovered, my speakers (MX 5021) emit a small sputter every 5 sec or so. Not very loud, even present when soundcard line out and optical (which runs to my DAC/headphone setup) are both muted. Tried everything - DC all connects, reconnect - nothing. Then discovered, that quite amazingly...

One if the best games ever for me. Pity GSC died. Suvarium is really the spiritual successor, if not a clone...

Very nice game!

Very nice game. Initially, Death feels like a wussy compared to the meatier, more macho Rage. But as you play on, the levels get more interesting, as does the character especially with the level ups. Much slower paced than its predecessor, but a good game.

^Not yet domesticated, new rig, just upgraded 2 months back (check sig). But out of the audio/headphone game, sold off a couple of cans. @Renegade - thanks man. @ganesh - thanks pal, finishing up with Dishonored, trying Of Orcs and Men today :) Feels good sitting on the U2410/GTX680 combo while...

^Thanky guys, I see some newer, unfamiliar faces. Where are all the chachas and uncles? ;-)

Hi guys, I'm not really new to TE, and quite a few of the older members would know me. But I've been off TE for more than a year, for a variety of reasons. Anyways, I'm back! Albeit not as activly as before, but I do intend to settle in with the newer crowd, and contribute to the community that...

Ajay, can you suggest a good HS with a 90mm fan? I find these pretty light and compact, and since I don't OC, I wouldn't opt for a 120mm fan HS. I tried the TR120 extreme, and found it overkill for my purposes. Are there any HSF around the 400~550 gram mark that are around 30% better than the...

I would most likely look for an aftermarket bolt on. How cool is the 2600K under normal usage? I'm used to a Q6600, which is what I use at home. Currently I use a TR Ultima 90i, which is found quite good. However, i'm not an overclocker, so I haven't stress tested anything.

A really fun game. Would not call it survivial horror, but more of a FPS with with some comical elements, like eating victims' hearts and such. The graphics are closer to comic book stuff and minimalist, but I like the game. I'd give it a 7/10 for the fun factor, else a 6.5/10. Must try once at...

This might sound like a silly question, but I've been reading about people having issues with faster memory on the newer Intel processors, due to the memory controller voltage and such issues. So I must ask, what speed of RAM should I ideally look for? Given that I'm looking at 2 sticks of 4 GB...

If that be true, then 2600K it is... @Terence, thanks for the links! Is the 2600K likely to experience a price drop post the 3770K launch?

Obviously I wouldn't mind buying a CPU at the same cost or 1K more, that offers a 100 Mhz speed bump, improved performance and runs cooler...But I'm also getting impatient, and I'd have to wait to see if IB 22nm is proven or not. the 32nm process of the 2600K certainly is. Anyways, I'm holding...

I use a GTX 460 AMP and have had no issues at all, wonderfully cool even on load. I do not know about the issues specific to the 560Ti AMP model, but I do know ZOTAC is very prompt with responses and customer satisfaction ranks very high with them. From my Digit days, I've had close contacts...

Given the teething trouble Lucid has, and texture corruption and other shite, I'd not want to use it. With a GTX 680, I don't think I'll need to. Are there clock to clock benchmarks with Ivy Bridge vs Sandy Bridge? Because I'd be interested in reading those. Nothing on AT, Xbit, and so on...

Been meaning to ask this from awhile now. Since I'll not be using onboard graphics (so PCIe 3.0 and IGP on CPU is essentially useless to me), and the TDP of 95W to 77/75W is a small one too, how exactly will IB unleash me the real potential of the Z77 mobos. Other than a 100 MHz jump in clock...

Aha, what about this: http://www.flipkart.com/asus-p8z77-v-pro-motherboard/p/itmd8b8vtrvm9qdq?pid=MBDD8B8VDRZK6XAU&_l=BuHQ5PCw0HpScPtM7nV3Uw--&_r=4i2sGH4JnPfN3hq4fLvWpw--&ref=41b5f718-1bd5-49af-8111-b1aa0168c753

How's this board: http://www.smcinternational.in/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=1717&category_id=32&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=77 Is it Ivy Bridge compatible?

Screw SMC, he's a piece of money grabbing sh*t. I'm trying to get a friend who's coming down to pick up the board from Prime ABGB, who I've dealt with when I was in Mumbai. BTW any difference in the number of SATA ports, particularly 3.0 ports? And do both boards have reset, power and CMOS reset...
