Does anybody know any site that ships to Sweden that has these fans in stock?

Update them all anyway.

Just in case.

Snip. I keep forgetting threads.

I have a 550W (80+) PSU, is it enough for a HD7950 (it says it needs 500W)?

for gaming how good are these specs

CPU: Intel i5 3570 - (4 x 3.4 GHZ) - Ivy Bridge
Memory: Corsair 8GB XMS3 PC3-12800 1600MHz (2x4GB)
GFX Card: ATI Radeon HD 7770 - 1 GB
MB: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H (Intel B75) - VGA/DVI/HDMI

Pretty good, I'd say. It's not some super-powerful goliath by any means, but it should run any game on the market at pretty high settings.

Many people will probably recommend getting the 3570K and an overclockable motherboard, but unless you really think you're going to do that, you're fine with what you have.

[Tricky D]

thanks man. yeah I doubt I will look into overclocking as I know nothing about it

I need a top 3 of the best wireless routers that you can buy. I can't stream anything to my tv or xbox.

[Nehalem]

I might go to a 450 in SLI to the 7770 for 120 dollars, is that a good deal?

[Phrozen99]

Doubtful.

What about the 650Ti?

Black = 650Ti
Blue = 450

What is your budget?

I have a Sapphire HD 7950 card.

In certain games, such as Shogun 2 and occasionally Sleeping Dogs, i get black flickering artifacts.
I don't think my card is defective since i play games like Street Fighter 4 and Far Cry 2 just fine without any artifacts.
Should i reinstall my OS?, reinstall drivers?, should i just send the card back?
It's at stock clocks and i have not overclocked it.

Also, unrelated to this issue, every time i visit Deviantart it makes it so i can't use internet in Chrome unless i restart it.

In sleeping dogs I get random flashes, too, I think it might just be the game.

if you mean the whole screen goes black for a frame, that is.

In Sleeping Dogs, on a rare occasion i will get full screen flashes of either red or white.
As for Shogun 2, it's similar to this [video=youtube;yRhVH8RbyBg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRhVH8RbyBg[/video]

If you could squeak a little more, you could get a 7850.

I won an Amazon Kindle Fire HD the other day. Is there any cool shit I can do with it like run Android or alter the UI?

[RoboChimp]

I know this is a hard one, would dual Xeon 2630s render significantly faster than an i7 970? I'm upgrading from the 970 machine and wanted to know it's a worthwhile upgrade, I was considering the 2650s but it's $800 more I don't really want spend.

While I don't have any direct experience with this, I'm going to say "probably".

Rendering generally scales pretty linearly with regard to cores. Going from four cores to twelve would definitely speed things up, even with the clock speed drop. Some tasks that scale with cores don't scale well across sockets, but I don't think rendering is one of them.

You'd probably be looking at around a 3x speedup. Whether that's worth it or not is up to you.

[Sgt. Napalm]

I figured that you guys might know about this more than any other part of the forums.

Steam has a new service where they send you emails when an item on your wishlist goes on sale. Are there any sites or services that take this to the next level, where you can plug in an item and it scans a plethora of outlets (such as Amazon, Walmart, Barnes & Noble, American Eagle, Bloomingdale's, etc.,) similar to [url=http://www.cheapshark.com/search.php]CheapShark[/url] that can email you when a deal appears but not just for games?

I just enabled Wake on LAN in my bios and now I can turn my computer on/off with my mobile phone. It's so freaking useful since I run Plex media server on it.

I'm using PC Monitor on my Nexus 4.

[Clio]

I've got an old reciever amp thingy hooked up to my comp for audio control and stuff
If I buy a headset with a combo jack and connect it to the reciever, will my comp detect the mic? or does the reciever mess it up?

[whatthe]

Anyone here know a lot about Linux, and installing windows 8 via bootable virtual drives? I would acutally pay someone to help me, maybe in the way of a game on steam if it isn't too expensive.

Its not like there are thousands of guides on the internet or anything.

[dragonitemaster]

i know i keep asking questions and all bu its all for the good. anyways my nvidia graphics card just keeps crashing when i play games. so far i have only tired dota 2 after the restart but still it was doing it before. but the crashes had only started happening after trying to straight on download 310.90. so is there an easy fix for the nvidia graphics card crashing(also i have a nvidia 635m)

While what you say is fair, only resort to this when I have tried everything else, and that ALWAYS ([B]100%[/B] garanteed or your money back) causes more problems when you are a newb like me because you;ve tried everything and screwed up a few hings on the way.

Oh and surely that is what the thread is for? Also FlubberNugget has already helped tremendously.

Downgrade your drivers and see if the problems are persistent.
If they are, check your temperatures, and report them back to here.
