Wasn't following that thread. Huh.
I'm doubtful you'll find anything as powerful as a 7970 in the £200 price range, but I cant blame anybody for wanting to wait at this point.

I couldn't wait at all. I just went ahead and go the 760 GTX. I'll wait for Non-Reference Maxwell Cards and Benchmarks though. That should be over a half a year away.

Ugh, so tempted. Asus B85M-E for $42. (refurb)

Haz was saying some B85 boards cause BSODs if you stick 4 DIMMs in them. Might want to check if this is one of them if you ever plan on doing that.

I think the guy was a great contributor to PC building related threads but man, I don't know what he was thinking with his argument at the end of that thread.
For real? :/
s'what he said.
Anyone know a way to make MSI Motherboards always use CPU Smart Fan Control. In the bios I only see default, 40c, 50c, etc. Using the Control Center program I can check the box for CPU Smart Fan Control, but don't see how to make it stay check on the next boot. There is Default and Silent text towards the bottom in Control Center, but I can't tell if that are set or do anything.
OK, upgrade advice time. I have a bit of spare money (max 150 maybe) and I want to upgrade something. Unless it isn't worth it 
Ordering the BenQ XL2411T monitor and just looking for other stuff I could order alongside it.
Build:
8GB RAM 1600 MHz
I5-3570K (stock cooler)
Asrock Z77 extreme4
GTX 670FTW
500W PSU PC& Power Cooling
Corsair 550D
Crucial M4 128GB SSD
I was thinking maybe of getting a GTX 770 (add sale value of gtx 670 ftw to budget) but people say I should wait till 8xx line. Some extra power for dat 120hz would be nice though, although I can wait if needed. A new CPU cooler might help too... or a 2.0 audio set since my old set broke and I only use headphones now.
If anyone else has any advice...

I put it together last weekend - and for the first time a pc build went flawless, it powered on with absolutely no problems. Rather surprising, actually.

1440p build for Node 304.
Stock fans on the case and CPU (intel i5-4670). Not looking to overclock.
$1,500 - $1,800 budget.
Is this possible without heat issues?
Is there a significant disparity in picture quality from the cheaper (ex. Crossover) to mid (ex. ASUS, BenQ) models?
I want to settle on the monitor for now. Going to wait for the Valve news and AMD GPU news to hit in the upcoming weeks.
Does the picture quality really present itself if I am just 2-3 feet away from 1440p as opposed to a 120hz 1080p monitor? Take into account the size of the monitor at 24 or 27 inches.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer the help.

does someone have a link to the thread he was banned in?
Probably the post where he argued that incest and homosexuality are the same and he looks forward to RPS holding back coverage to defend incest.
I always liked the guy, or I thought I did. I don't generally consider myself easily offended but I guess it is when a smart person says ignorant bullshit like that it really bothers me. Not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with the bann, I was just kind of bummed and shocked to see him posting like that in that thread.
I'm sad. I upgraded to 326.80 drivers finally, and I hadn't seen any black screens in a while, but today while I was just in Windows, no games running, just web browsers/messengers/Steam and a LoL stream and the LoL client, the screen did the normal thing of going black for 2-3 seconds. The monitor as always didn't seem to lose sync.
It's a GTX770, purchased recently. I -suppose- it could possibly be the monitor since that's about 5 years old, but it seems so strange. When this used to happen more often before the driver upgrade, I think I tried looking in system report logs but never saw any nVidia driver errors. Any ideas are welcome.

Word
Round 2 U3014 is bit better than the first try. Might wait a few months then get it replaced with a A03 refurb.
A buddy of mine is making a build with a Haswell i7 and probably a Radeon 7900 series.
I don't have much experience with OCZ. What do you guys think of this powersupply; it seems like a good deal. But I remember some powersupplise have some weird sleep mode problems with Haswell.
Thoughts? Recommendations for better buys?
OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W

I've a problem with my computer. I recently installed a new PSU and it was ok for 2-3 days, but tonight it started up on it's own (I'm not going crazy ) and shuts down for some time -> I had to manually turn off the power. Now I wanna turn it on.. it booted to a certain point and shuts down. Now it's just booting till the bios check and then it shuts down again.
My first thought is that the PSU is broken?

Rosewill Hive at $60 is good http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
I have a solution, close the LoL stream, delete the URL, now Uninstall LoL and see if the problem happens again.
Hey guys, quick question. What's your average idle temperature for the CPU on a hot ( not extremely hot, but like 35ºc) summer's day?
My CPU has been averaging 38-42 ºc on idle. It's a i7 3770k, overclocked to 4.2ghz (from 3.5)
Yesterday playing Guild Wars 2 at night ( it was very hot in my room ) the cpu reached 75-80ºc . I have a 212 heatsink and I never saw it go over 67ºc so I'm kind of worried. Is this normal on a hot summer day or maybe I should replace my thermal paste or something like that?
thanks!

I've put in my old PSU and the same thing :/
It just restarts everytime after some bios checks on the motherboard. And It's not always at the same spot, it diverse.
Im going mental.
I can't reboot from a CD or USB, since he reboots/shuts down before it.
I first thought it was my PSU, but with my old one, I have the same problem.
Salsa has been banned more times than anyone in the history of GAF, so I'm sure he'll be back sometime soon.
