I have a question about psu. Is it being modular worth the $20 dollars more?

If modularity is the only difference, then generally not. Unless you really want the minimal amount of clutter in your case.

Should I even bother trying to get a Dota 2 beta key? Wondering if I could play with everything on lowest settings, even if just single player vs. comps.

I'm aware my processor is above the minimum requirements and my gpu (integrated) is below the minimum.

processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 2.0G
gpu: Intel GMA 4500MHD

Would just lower my resolution to the minimum possible most likely.

Hi guys, I got a quick question... and not sure if it was thread-worthy so I'll just ask in here.

So I have a laptop and I'm at my dorm. My ethernet cable is plugged in. I check some stuff then go to class.
I come back after class, the ethernet port is not lighting up. I'm assuming the port doesn't even work anymore. I haven't done anything to it though... now I'm stuck with wireless...

Is my ethernet port broken? or did something get disabled or what?

Help please?

Hello fellow tech geeks. I'm wondering if I'm able to stream SC2 on my laptop at a decent quality. The specs are as follows..
i7-3160QM
6GB Ram
GT 640M (2gb version)
1366x768 resolution
My internet speeds..
[image loading]

Edit: Okay well nevermind. I just tried streaming and it works pretty well. Quality is pretty good too.

I got the i3 2120 few weeks ago and its idle temp was about 25C and when playing games like sc2 it went up to 40-45C only. Now, it's idle temp is about 30-35 and when playing games it shoots up to 55-60C. I'm using the integrated graphics because I'm not really a major gamer, but wondering what's causing the problem (don't really know much about PCs). I tried using a manual fan to see if that was the problem, but temperature still remained still. Is 60C too high? Is it because using the integrated graphics is too much for cpu to handle? or should I just get a new heat sink (If so, which)?

I would reckon it may be due to thermal paste, but I could be wrong. I have a i3-2120 at home and I get idle temperatures of ~40C and ~50C when playing SC2. If you're using your IGP I think the temperatures should actually be less, not more. If you're using a dedicated graphics card it draws out some of your CPU usage (well on my laptop it does at least).

Heatsink got knocked a little loose? I'm not so sure about thermal paste suddenly becoming so bad, so quickly.

Anyway, 60C is still definitely acceptable, not a problem in of itself at all.


By the way, I can see it being possible, but I really wouldn't expect power draw to be lower with the IGP on, unless you have graphics settings high enough to make things unplayable. I mean, power consumption of the IGP (considering we're assuming that the IGP is bottlenecking things and would be pretty much maxed out) is probably going to outweigh the power consumption saved from a couple CPU cores having a lighter load from being bottlenecked by the IGP.

Why are you guys asking if you can stream or not at those specs etc? Why not just got and test it? Haha

Hi guys!

Since i never found any answer to my problem on TL or google, im gonna ask in this thread, wich i don't know if its the right thread :/ so feel free to move it where its supposed to be.

Basically, my problem occurs randomly in sc2 at the very beginning of a game (ladder or custom), after the loading screen.

As you can see in the picture below, the game will start with the private chat bar (or whatever its called) of my opponent opened (even if i never talked to him), and i cannot do anything, except spam every keys of my keyboard until this evil chat bar is eventually removed.
I tried escape and enter ofc, i tried to type in the chat bar, to use control groups or hotkeys, but i never figured out what was actually solving my problem while spamming everything :p

This issue can be very frustrating, not only cause it ruins the game that im playing when laddering, but especially cause i cant even inform my opponent of what is happening, so i end up leaving the game half of the times it happens...

Im so frustrated everytime this happens that i never took the time to screen cap, but 2 years after the game came out, i remembered to do it this time !

Thx in advance for answering me, and sorry if my english sucks, feel free to correct me :p

If I'm not mistaken all you have to do is press alt + enter in conjunction to switch between recipients. In this case pressing it should get rid of who you talk to since there's only one? Could be wrong. That's the private chat method utilized in SC2.

Alright, so here's my issue. Whenever I start SC2 now this small window with the "PLAY" button pops up. I assumed this is normal since its been this way since Patch 1.5 hit, but now when i click on SC2, the window comes up, but the play button is greyed out and nothing happens. Any ideas what's going on here?

Yes, i also tried alt+enter, wich was the most obvious hotkey to try when it happens
This is really weird cause i just cant find someone else with my problem -_-
