Forums - General Discussion - PC Modders & Overclockers

Howdy People,

 

Just starting a thread to see if any people here mod, overclock and have fun with their computers? Or is it all just consoles here? It might be fun to discuss the setups everyone has and perhaps do some Benchmark rankings.

I love that case, i bought the same one in red last year. I don't really mod computers, but i do build them from the ground up for some sweet gaming on occasion, but mostly for schoolwork and programming (as a hobby).




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

nice, i just can't get the temperature meter to work, i have no clue where to place the sensors since wherever i put it, it didn't indicate anything.

Does the Temp indicator come with a plug? It should plug onto your mainboard somewhere I would imagine, and you will need to enable it in the bios... usually a fan or something will be the place to splice it with if you need to splice...

I just recently put together a monster computer myself, I'm not home at the moment but I might post a pic of my setup when I get home.

ATIs generall don't overclock very well - you should get nvidia if that's your goal.

I can only manage a 17% overclock with mine.

Y la plena, mejor ahorrate el billete por el momento hasta que salgan mas tarjetas DirectX10 - los precios de los DX9 van a bajar notablemente cuand esto ocurra, o por el mismo precio que pagas ahora por una DX9 podras conseguir una DX10 dentro de tres meses.

 Lo unico es que una Radeon X1950 se consigue en $125 USD y una 7900 GS en un poco mas... pero si overclockea supongo y se compensa



I haven't played anything that require me to use overclocking yet, but I'll be sure to post if and when I am

No, we think that most people using ATI cards are having just a fantastic experience. The vast majority of the people love the clocks.
