Post your gaming setup!

I guess? Be sure you're using electrical tape though....

Incase you know you have it, just don't know what it is, it's usually, black, blue, red or yellow in colour, NEVER clear.

Here's mine, having some troubles trying to OC the CPU with the MOBOs all new and fancy BIOS, kinda new to that system so if anyone has tips for how to effectively OC my i7 with that BIOS do tell. It's a "for the future" setup, for my current gaming needs it's overkill, although I can't wait to see how it performs with Arkham City when it gets released on PC (people have been hyping about the graphics a lot).

Case: CoolerMaster HAF 912 Plus
CPU: Intel i7 2600k @ stock values (see reason above)
CPU Cooler: Coolink Corator DS
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6850 Direct CU
MOBO: Asus P8P67 PRO REV 3.0
HDD: Samsung 1TB SpinPoint F3
SSD: OCZ 60GB Agility 3
ODD: Asus DRW-24B3ST
RAM: 2x4GB Kingston Hyper X Genesis 1600MHz DDR3
PSU: Corsair 650 HX
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

Mouse: Logitech G500
Keyboard: Some wireless from Windows, it actually works like a charm, I've never had problems with batteries nor response time!
Monitor: HP w2007 20.1" flat screen

Possible pictures coming after I've returned this beauty to the retailer for a warranty; a friend of mine wanted to dabble with Prime95, twice, causing a bluescreen, TWICE, and now the system won't shut down properly without taking all the power out, nor will it boot properly: sometimes it complains about a chassis intrude, sometimes about a fatal error, and sometimes it wants me to go to BIOS, which then ends up in a system reset (everything's still as it should be program-wise, but the system thinks it's not been run before and starts up with the preset date (1.1.2005)), and to top all that off, it only shows 1 or 2 out of the 8 or-so active programs in the taskbar's hidden icons section (the programs are there when mouseovering, just the icons are missing, and clicking on them does nothing) and only 1 active program next to the clock though when mouseovering there are 3.

The fans worked when the molex was pretty loose, Can I just like tape them together?

Unplug or turn your PSU off with the button. Press your powerbutton to clear any residual power. Touch the PSU to ground yourself. Then use a screwdriver to reposition the pegs in the molex female (the one not from the power supply).

Neat-o! Experienced any issues with your 460's in BF3 or all gone fairly smooth?


Why do people buy K-series CPU's (K = unlocked multiplier = for overclockers) when they never intend to overclock, I've never understood this. Are you OK with the fact that people are getting the same performance as your CPU while paying literally 30-40% less?

Scan.co.uk

Core i5 2500 = £162.18

Core i5 2500k = £166.98

Not sure what this 30-40% nonsense is.

[DeltrusDisc]

He might be accounting the fact that H61/H67 chipset motherboards (which don't support overclocking) cost less than the P67/Z68 chipset motherboards that do? I don't know.

Das COMPUTER IZ COMPLETE! Pictures coming soon!

[Blackspur]

He might be accounting the fact that H61/H67 chipset motherboards (which don't support overclocking) cost less than the P67/Z68 chipset motherboards that do? I don't know.

Cheapest H61 = £42

Cheapest P67= £80

Now with a £38 difference between them that's only a total of £42 difference including the CPU. Now even if you do not intend to overclock now you may want to in the future to save yourself buying another CPU so £42 is a small price to pay and certainly isn't 40% more expensive than the locked CPU's

I'm not going to say that Xuvial's 30-40% number wasn't a bit outrageous, because it was. ;p

[DeltrusDisc]

^Now there's a setup I'd love to have.

Something else I'd love, are some pictures. ;p

Logitech G15 pride!

[BicycleMafioso]

Too bad the soundcard is wasted with poor speakers/headset and the GPUs with a TN-monitor.
</unwanted opinion>

[DeltrusDisc]

I guess I should say, I want the hardware, would change the peripherals. ;p

[Spank]

I agree for the monitor, tbh except the second gtx 570 i want to add is a Dell UltraSharp U2412M.
