Wise words

Howsit guys.

Is this forum even still alive?

So what are your thoughts on the new GTX cards coming out end of this month?

Hey guys,

So... Is this an O.S worth buying?
I hear that Updates are forced!?
Surely this will cause driver issues etc..

Any thoughts?

Next step up is 2400MHz.

That is where is was BSODing

Also running fine @ 2200MHz

Howsit guys.

Update:

Got my board swapped out for a new one. Still Blue screens when I manually set the DRAM to 2400MHz or when I enable XMP.
My supplier recommended that I set the RAM to 2133MHz and see how it runs. It is running fine now on 2133MHz.

I can live with this

Ok.. I dont know whats going on anymore.. I still think its the motherboard.
Im so over this..

Thanks Monty,

I will try this soon. Suspecting possible faulty RAM slot on Motherboard.
I'll let you guys know.

Howsit guys, I recently purchased another matching set of Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB 2400MHz CL11 RAM. Now I have a total of 16GB RAM. Ever since I installed the new RAM my games keep crashing. Sometimes my system just BSOD's. I've ran Memtest86 on each set of RAM individually as well as together for...

Very nice man.
You're lucky to have access to equipment like that.
Very cool to see how it progressed.

Very nice Jelly!
It's always nice to see when someone puts a lot of effort into their builds.
Would love to see the progression pics as well

Hands down, the best case I've ever used!

Thanks guys.

Corsair Obsidian 750D.

Gaming, music, virtual machines, and usual office stuff.

Thanks man!

Intel i7 4790 @ 3.6GHz.
Corsair Vengence Pro DDR3 8GB RAM @ 2400MHz CL 11.
Gigabyte GTX 770 2GB OC.
Corsair RM 850W PSU.
Corsair Force GS 180GB SSD.

Trust me guys...

The next thing on my list is: http://www.rebeltech.co.za/1082-corsair ... 0-165.html

Will it be ok to use my current 4GB RAM for maybe a month or 2?

Thanks everyone for the feedback!
This is why I like using this forum!

Anyway, I purchased a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 2GB today!!
Should run most the things I play with now at 60fps... Hopefully!

Thanks GDI :) This will definitely help me make my decision. Between the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 2GB and the Sapphire Radeon R9 280X Toxic Edition 3GB.. Which one would you go for? I've checked Tomshardware, and most of the time the AMD card has more FPS. It is also slightly cheaper than the Nvidia...

Are there any benefits of having a Nvidia as apposed to a AMD?
Any sort of visual differences in picture quality etc..?
If not, then I may as well look at AMD..... Again..
I'm not going to be using a 3D screen. Just normal full HD (1920x1080p).
SB, why do you prefer Nvidia?

Very Nice!

Which GPU would you recommend for 4-5k?

Howsit guys,

Ended up only recently getting an MSI Z97 Gaming 3 motherboard with an Intel Core i7 4790

Thanks for the input

I'm using this one: http://www.rebeltech.co.za/index.php?ma ... s_id=10574

It has a magnet.
I suspect it may be interfering with signal.
Any thoughts?

Howsit guys,

I recently bought a cover for my S4 which has a magnetic latch.
Does anyone know if the magnetic clip is bad for the phone?
Is anyone having any issues with magnetic covers?
