My Zalman cooler has a LED in it. I only bought it because it's pretty good at keeping my processor cool at 4.1GHz

[Chickens!]

Anyone else on Chrome using any form of smoothscroll have it completely decide to not work all of a sudden?

The built in one and a few extensions i've tried have suddenly said "Nope"

What's better for 3D rendering with metal ray, a i7-3930K or a i7-3770K? I'm thinking the i7-3930K is better but I'm not sure.
I'm currently upgrading from an i7 970.

I'm guessing mentalray doesn't support GPU rendering?

[Crest]

3D rendering loves more cores. A 3930k would be faster, but probably hotter and more expensive overall. A 3770k at 4.4ghz might beat it.

Not sure if there is an opera forum, sorry if I missed it. This just happened after I minimized a youtube video from full screen.

-It hides the start menu.
-when I right click on the icons in the star bar, it thinks I'm trying to customize the browser.
-That isn't the search bar at the top, it's the ghost of the search bar
-This is a custom skin(that has never done this, I've had this for several year), and the top has become completely transparent(clicking there is clicking on the desktop)

Any help?

I have always used laptops but I will have a desktop by next week so I need a keyboard.

It will be used for photo and video editing and also gaming.

I don't want to spend more than £50 so I'm not bothered about fancy disco lights all over it, I just want something that is nice to use and doesn't feel like shit to type with.

[Zerokateo]

Is it bad that I can move my hyper 212? I turn it a little bit but the screws are as tight as can be. it needs a bit of force to be moved but it can still be moved is what worries me.

Restart Opera and see if the symptoms go away.

Then un-fullscreen the YouTube video again and see if the symptoms return.

If both of those are the case, then it's just Flash Player being shite as usual

Does anyone know why on earth PDF documents can have bookmarks, but I can't make new ones?

[SaberVS7]

Well, since AMD is going up in smoke I figure this would be a great opportunity to tear my PC apart (Or rather, just the GPU and CPU since they're pretty much the only things I ever gave a shit about) and buy what I can before Nvidia and Intel have a monopoly and fuck over the market.

Anyone got an idea on what a good GPU replacement would be? Already looking at this ([url]http://ark.intel.com/products/68316[/url]) to replace my 'ole Pentium 4 CPU.

Yea/Nay?

[Shadaez]

if you're getting a new CPU and a new GPU you're going to need a motherboard, RAM, and powersupply as well. Just make a new thread on PC building

He cant upgrade without buying a new pc essentially.

Thinking of buying Gigabyte's OC of GTX 670. Should I wait till next year and buy a GTX 7XX or Radeon 8XXX or is it worthwhile? No idea if there will be huge improvements from this gen.
(Currently I own a 5770 from XFX.)

It depends on a few things, your budget, what games your planning on playing and how long you're willing to wait.
I chose to wait for the GTX660 Ti rather than buy a GTX570 for a similar price because it was a few months away. At the moment very little is known about the GTX700 series, so your best bet is to wait for the 600 series to go down in price.

I've scraped together $1000, what's a good laptop for that price?

Use Intkeys if any.

[BiN4RY]

[QUOTE=SataniX;38450621]Use Intkeys if any.[/QUOTE]

To be honest, Intkey prices are also pretty terrible. It's just overhyped because some guy on FP brought it up a few back and now everyone is wetting their panties over it.
I always use cdkeyport.com, they have some of the lowest prices I can find. Their catelouge is a bit small, that's where cdkeyshere.com comes in to fill in the gap. I've bought at least a hundred keys from them over the years already, they're pretty reliable.

[QUOTE=B!N4RY;38450309]Those prices aren't even cheap for CD-keys[/QUOTE]

All I care about is steam keys, and the prices seem cheaper than steam by quite a bit (not counting sales as they aren't permanent)

[editline]14th November 2012[/editline]

That CDKeyport seems really nice, I'll browse there actually

[editline]14th November 2012[/editline]

It's US dollars, I'll still be able to buy and play Steam games here in the Uk right?

[BiN4RY]

Yes, you might need a Russian VPN to activate some of those keys though. There's a free one listed there I believe

Hopefully someone has an answer for this....

Recently I upgraded to Windows 8 with OEM, and about a week later my harddrive decided to kill itself. This wouldn't bug me much if it wasn't for the fact that I'm concerned that Microsoft may screw me over, and won't let me reinstall Windows 8, on a new hard drive with my current activation code[considering I've already used it].
Would it be even possible to make a bootable USB with Windows 8, or should I use a Windows 7 CD, I got lieing around?
