Is it worth it to buy a second MSI GTX 460 1GB for SLI for upcoming games? Or should I buy a new card altogether? I can SLI but I'll need to use molex adapters for one of the cards if I do. 650W PSU. No bottle necking worries.

Why is the second 6870 at 0% usage when the first one at 99% usage?
Crossfire is enable according to GPU-Z yet I'm getting the performance of a single 6870.
This only happens in Crysis 2 as far as I know.

[QUOTE=Alcapwne;32796327]Is it at all viable to start a custom PC building business? Not necessarily high-end like Milkyware, but more to suit the general (poor) population[/QUOTE] Doesn't sound worth it since there's many other PC building businesses out there. I think you could pull it off if you had enough resources.

Like Odellus said, advertisement is key.

Where would I advertise? I was thinking like the newspaper, or something like that.

I always see 3d party computer manufacturer advertisements (Cyberpower, iBuypower) in PC gamer magazines. They show a bunch of builds and different prices for these builds. Internet advertising works too.

I think that's a bit out of his league
start by word of mouth, then move on to the newspaper and wherever that takes you

No.

For an i7 2600 under stress such as crysis is it safe for it to get to 69-73? celsius

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I'll try the superbar stacks one.
I got a videocamera for my birthday and it's a DVC-5B2 Waterproof camera. It's decent. The battery time is not so decent, though. I don't think I will record much underwater either.
My question is if different tripods have different plug-in or "hole" sizes? I'm interested in making time-lapse and nature videos so I want a good tripod to have the camera steady, even in tough terrain. The price should be less than $150.

fuck it, making a thread
I saw that my motherboard supports 1600 OC and I get 1333. So I looked up "1600 OC" and saw a post saying that to get to 1600 I would need to overclock the memory controller. So does anyone know how I go about overclocking the memory controller?
you press + once in the bios when you're selecting the memory speed.
What was that program what showed what used the most of your HDD etc. as a graph? Or well, something similar.
