    Graphic Cards The return of RMAgic! GTX 460 - Help With PCI-E Cable

    Hello all, So the card arrived and like a fool I didn't anticipate that PCI-E connector requirements might be different. My Corsair vx450 has only one 6 pin PCI-E connector, while the card needs 2. Any solutions for getting a 4 to 6 pin converter and related testimonials of stability issues...

    The 2013 Black Friday thread

    Should i Go for that Westone 180$ deal? There are reviews about inflated/muddy bass response. Not being a basshead I'm slightly concerned, but the prospect of a westone 3, even if the sound signature has a minor skew, at such a price is highly tempting! I was looking at 100-150$ earphones...

    If a Westone comes on sale (no matter how remote the possibility ) I'm buying one for sure! Yeah I know TF 10 won't come :( Did you hear/read any rumours about westone 3 coming on sale?!

    The 2013 Black Friday thread

    I think it's over ambitious to expect mobile/tablet deals.. but generally a great headphone deal comes up. Last year I bought the Thinksound MS 01. Killer they are! There was also a steal deal on a high end Klipsch Image X-1 or something.. I hope UE TF 10 or some good IEM/Headphone deal...

    This SemiAccurate Report may come off as a bit trenchant, but after reading it and a few related stories, one cannot help but find the outrage justified. Mods: I don't know if this has already been posted, my preliminary search didn't yield results to that effect. I may be mistaken. A few...

    Graphic Cards The return of RMAgic! GTX 460 - Help With PCI-E Cable

    Everything done through relatives - lots of comings/goings on official work as well as family occasions. Which is why I bought from the US in the first place. Even my processor and motherboard are from there - SOOO much cheaper! No idea if support in India will be as robust or prompt. Only...

    Graphic Cards The return of RMAgic! GTX 460 - Help With PCI-E Cable

    They're available.. few online vendors (itdepot) and maybe a few stores keep them. Pricing might be a bit more than competition for similar cards ( I haven't read up too much) But i doubt their RMA will be as good as EVGA USA.

    Alto mail invites

    @dexBG: I'd requested invite a couple of days ago. After a show of a 'waitlist' I got in today. Looks decent. This reminds me of the initial days of Gmail, where one needed an invite!
