    Looking for PC Speakers

    These are awesome speakers. It's a shame that Logitech replaced them with crap.

    5 Year Old Laptop GPU Dead - Time For An Upgrade, I Guess

    Looks nice, ASRock is good, it's what I'm running. With an aftermarket cooler, you can crank the 2500k up to 4.6 without any issues. As for the ram, just check the compatibility list from ASRock. I'd recommend a corsair power supply though.

    How necessary is overclocking?

    I emailed Intel about that: tl;dr: 72.6C is normal operating temperature when not under stress, 80-85C is normal for high cpu load. Also, use Coretemp to monitor temperatures, it gives more consistent readings. And as for stress testing, I use Prime95.

    How necessary is overclocking?

    Go to newegg. Spend $35 on the Cooler Master Hyper 212. Overclock the K series past 4.5 with ease.

    Welcome! The threads are hidden if they're old, and honestly, the forums are dead outside of off topic.

    Livestreaming

    Well, since I'm not taking classes this semester, and I don't have many hours on the job, I've taken up streaming random games in my free time. Many of you already know this because I've been whoring myself out in steam chat. Does anybody else stream? If yes, what games do you stream, do you...

    How necessary is overclocking?

    IMHO, I overclocked because it's stupid easy with the K series of CPUs. My mobo had a drop down list of pre set overclocking settings, and with some proprietary Intel voodoo it doesn't actually clock up that high until I actually need it. Most of the time it runs at 1.6 GHz rather than the 4.6...

    Taiwanese Gamer dies in Internet Cafe - No-one Notices

    Reading the comments on the article made me think, "What if you replaced the words "playing League of Legends" with "reading a book." Would it generate the same amount of controversy?

    Half-Life needs instrumental music

    This thread is bad and you should feel bad. You don't mean... He's religious?!?

    Half-Life needs instrumental music

    The song you linked lacks imagination and uniqueness. Building tension with strong percussion and strong low brass lines? It's been done in way too many games and movies. I can't believe that I sat through 3 minutes of that. There's no variance in the song, or any semblance of dynamic range. 1...

    Half-Life needs instrumental music

    And so speaks a man who doesn't know a thing about electronic music. *ahem* http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/ You should also have a listen to the soundtracks from Metroid Prime and The Legend of Zelda for NES.

    Benchmarking, otherwise known as "How big is your computer's dangly parts."

    So I downloaded that Heaven benchmark, and it is very pretty, though my single GTX 460 doesn't like it very much.

    EVE Online

    If you want to do that, then go get yourself a blackbird and point and jam the MR if they aggro you. And what's your name in game?

    EVE Online

    The blackbird is a terrible terrible thing, but again, they're primaried first. The only difference is that you'll be about 70km away. Doesn't make much difference against alpha fleets or the new BCs though. Though, if you're interested in PVE, logistics are always welcome in Incursions.
