Post your gaming setup!

Indeed, can't agree more on that. Here's hoping that won't be a hassle for you! ;D
Do the panels bow any noticeably, or is it just an impression I get in general?

[OmegaV]

Well i plan on getting 2 7970s.

They're fine, maybe it was just the camera angle. It's just kind of a shame how such a good case can have it partially ruined with such a window panel, imo.

Still overkill with a 750w PSU.

new addition, figured it has some place here :P

Ultrabook powaah! Though since you posted it in the "gaming setup"-thread you now have to install a game on it for it to be legit

What specs did you get, btw?

[Deleted]

Notebook: Asus UX32VD-R4002V (UX Series)
Processor: Intel Core i7 3517U
Graphics Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GT 620M
Display: 13.3 inch, 16:9, 1920x1080 pixels, glossy: no

got the hdd swapped for corsair SSD today and ram stick from 2gb to 8gb :P

soon some games for fun on it (did fresh w7, so atm it's screaming need moar drivers -_-)

Better overkill the PSU than "Underkill" it It's not a massive overkill anyway, just a slight one.

But it is. Dual 7970 and a 3570k will only use around 450-500W max load. With overclocking the setup might reach 600W, but we are talking during stress-tests with both the CPU and GPU. Only reason to get a 750W PSU is for the proper connectors.

[Drunkenvalley]

You're gonna get right connectors with the AX 650 too tho, for one.

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

Even if the computer can draw 600W under 100% load (which it will never be running at), most of the time it will be idling around 80W, can't imagine it needing more than 400 when gaming.

[spaace]

Since we're a bit on PSU topic right now....

I currently have a TX750w, (that I got for free 4 years ago with my old PC) non modular... lots of extra wires clogging up space and stuff... corsair really put LOTS of connectors on this one...


I don't really care for price.. Need something FULLY modular (because it obviously looks better finished ;D).. and I was looking directly at corsair website for an AX750 and individual sleeved cables...

I plan on o/c'ing my cpu as much as I can (hopefully up to the 5.0 club ;D), so should I get a smaller PSU, stick with a 750 or what? (probably by next summer, SLI setup)

[BicycleMafioso]

650w should cover SLI GTX 670, landing somewhere at <70%.

But really, this is not a quick question, quick solution thread. Make a new thread instead, or join the chat thread.

[Acquilae]

or join the chat thread.

Just a suggestion but could the mods move it over to this forum? A lot of people probably don't even know there's a general computer chat thread since it's all the way in the Fun Stuff forum and it would be easier for people to just ask in there if it was actually on this forum.

No.
There's a sticky, that should be enough.
Besides, as a chat thread, it's more apt for fun stuff.
Also, post counts don't count in Fun Stuff, which is another advantage.

Truthfully I did not know there was a chat thread until today...>.<

Stop complaining about PSU's being overkill, sometimes they come in at a good price point, on more than one occasion i have seen the AX850 on sale for the same price as the 750, and there is nothing wrong with tons of overkill, 750/850 may be overkill for a quadcore/670, but it's not overkill for a quadcore/sli, there is nothing more upsetting than to get a new GPU or second GPU only to find out after it arrives that you are a few amps short on your PSU

nor can you point to efficiency loss, if you really care about those 50 or so watts you are wasting by not being in the optimal power range, shut off a light somewhere

Sorry about the bright screens haha

Im in agreement with this, i dont know why people are so crazy about having the perfect psu in these forums. If you get a nice price just go overkill and dont worry about it at all.

@to make it officially "gaming" i present sc2 on native res(yes 1920x1080) with medium settings

Sure they don't count.

But I still hit 10k+! ;D

Thought this was in Fun-stuff.... now I see it's not. wtffff.

Lucifuriex, your monitors look... oddly bright. x_x
