Okay yeah, if you don't like your current fps, and particularly if you need to stream at that kind of bitrate and want higher quality for that, get the i5-2500k (if not even i7-2600k if you really have some money). Which P67 motherboard is that? Be sure to grab a CPU cooler to overclock the i5-2500k.

You will need to lower the resolution more, because of that upload speed.

i was thinking about Gigabyte P67A D3 B3 (s1155, P67, DDR3) , unfortunately i can't get better upload at my current location.Next money i ll spent will be for a good cooler as you said and an ssd probably.

I was curious and just checked my shaw bundle to see what I got due to my upload speed being insanely slow. (0.41 Mbps) The plan that is currently being used has an upload speed of 512 Kbps but a couple people have told me you want something like 3ish to even think about streaming.

Is there any way to improve this aside from upgrading my internet?

I would like to stream come the end of finals but it's basically out of the question with that upload speed. Im assuming that the upload speed using the bundle means that it caps out at 512 Kbps but im not really sure. Terrible with computers zzzzz.

Unless you can upgrade your connection, you pretty much have to forget about it. 0.4 is terrible.

I have the MSI GX740 laptop and I have a pretty concerning problem.
First of all the specs are:
i7 720QM Processor
Radeon HD 5870M 1GB GDDR5 VRAM Graphics Card
4GB of ~1077 MHz DDR3 RAM
320GB Hard Drive
17' LCD Screen

The weird thing is, when I first bought SC2, one week after release, with the laptop brand new, it ran it perfectly fine on all Ultra graphics. Nowadays, I've set almost every single option to low, and the lag persists, even in 1v1's. A week ago is when I first noticed the lag, and I realised that my hard drive was full. I bought an external drive and backed everything up and reformatted to try and solve it. Nothing has worked and SC2 still runs slow. The biggest enigma is that every other game I run on this computer works perfectly fine on more or less maxed graphics, except for SC2. It is the only game with which I've experienced this problem. Btw, the lagg is pretty hard framerate lagg, and I have the second-fastest internet available, so I'm sure it isn't that. Whatever shall I do?

Hey people. I don't know if this the right thread to be writing this in, but i feel that "SC2 Strategy" is the wrong forum.
So on to the question: When i am playing SC2 the units responses (and those of buildings) get cut off by each other. For instance if i click on one scv and it then begins to say it's "greeting frase", if i then click on my CC while the scv is talking, the line gets cut off. The scv doesn't finish the whole sentence, and this is the same with every unit, race and building in the game.
Does anyone have an idea of what this could be? Is it my soundcard or is it fixable from the options menu? I have tried several setting, but none of them do the job.


That might be because the number of sound channels (ambient noises, sound effects, unit responses) your StarCraft can play at one time is low. You can change this in sound settings on the lower right, if I recall correctly.


Thank you kind gentleman! i will without a doubt try this. If it doesn't work, the computer is going to be thrown in the trash and exchanged


But of course . This actually made me smile, so I thank you for that :D

I have my own question. I have started to stream (sort of, kind of, occasionally); I want to stream BF3 and SC2. With StarCraft it streams fine, for the most part. Battlefield has a problem though. It lag terribly on the stream. I can play totally fine, with very little lag in-game, but the stream gets sometimes as low as a frame every 1.5 seconds. Any thoughts?

You need to limit the cores used by BF3, since it's not threaded like shit like SC2, most likely.

I'm having some issues with getting win7. I recently built myself a computer, and re-used my hard drive so I'd save ~$80 on the drive and a bunch on the OS. My plan was to boot XP on the old hard drive for a while until I could afford the $65 win7 upgrade with the student discount. The problem is that I bought the old computer from Dell, and from what I've heard it would violate the EULA to install the old copy of windows on the new computer, and its not possible to use the upgrade from a copy of windows that isn't working. First off, is this true? Secondly, could I use the OEM system builder version of win7 for my current computer? I know that if its possible, it would limit me like my current version does, but right now I am willing to accept that limitation for immediate savings.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning... it smells like... victory. -_^ Favorite SC2 match ->Liquid`HerO vs. SlayerS CranK g.1 @MLG Summer Championship

It does violate EULA but no one cares.

Why would using an OEM copy limit you? It's the same as a retail copy...

You can do a light OC with it, but there's a massive difference between the stock heat sink and even a basic 3rd party cooler.

Reseat the graphics card and replug in the power connectors, try a different slot, try a different graphics card, reset the motherboard BIOS, try integrated graphics if available and also try disabling it.

I forget all the context, so maybe some of the above doesn't make sense for your situation.

edit : oh feels so good coming from my old laptop back to this... it's like living in a cave for months then going back out to breath fresh air

Im currently on a amd phenom II 955BE but upgrading to a those i5 3750k once those come out on monday
my chassis is a pretty good one, coolmaster storm sniper, so air cooling would be good.

I plan on doing light oc, nothing to hardcore trying to get the most out of what I can push the cpu limit.

I would personally never OC on the intel box cooler, just because it's already a noisy, underperforming piece of shit, and it doesn't cost all that much to slap on something MUCH more efficient. In particular, since the mounting pins suck, the last thing you'd want is to have it decide to come loose (randomly happens from time to time with that stupid POS) on an OCed CPU under load. Bad enough at stock clocks when it happens.

I see, those Intel heat-sink are that noisy ay.
would just a heatsink be great or one with a fan to blow away the hot air?
