A GTX680 is not a GTX580. Its obvious through context that he was referring to nVidia cards that are actually avaliable and not horribly expensive.

~400w.

Considering how there aren't any good 480w models that come to mind, ya... you probably have a shit one.

What are the effects of disabling a pagefile when you have 8GB+ of RAM?

Courtesy of bad design, you'll have no effect 90% of the time, and random lockups/crashes with certain software.

Also, if you end up having issues, re-enabling the pagefile without a reformat isn't guaranteed to work.

I had the same problem as you when I open xsplit. Try turning off vsync, for some reason only when I stream does vsync interfere.

Is there any particular reason that resolutions go in factors of degrees?

Like 360, 720, 1080... the other ones, like 480, 1920 etc are also degree measures, just 1/3 circle off (120 degrees).

Just a pleasant query.

It has nothing to do with circles, the number (480, 720, etc.) is actually the measurement of vertical pixles. The number of horizontal pixles is then dependant on the aspect ratio (i.e. 4:3, 16:9). The reason behind the usage of these particular standards actually goes back to the mid 80s and use of CRT and television monitors with PCs.

If you're interested, there's more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution#Evolution of standards

I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

I was looking at the CPU fan my computer used to have. And i think its a liquid cooler something something, (lol i just dont know).

Anyways here are pictures of it, and the model i think, (i couldnt find it online)

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/688/1006704.jpg/
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/851/1006705p.jpg/

and I just want to know if its better than this one tht I was going to get,

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065

if its better i will just install it back .

And it was in a AMD cpu, will it still work on the i5 2550k? And what is tht glue sort of thing that its on it? somehow it feels fresh, but should i get some more of tht?

If the heatsink has mounting hardware for LGA1156 than yes it will work with the 2500k. If it doesn't than it won't work. It's hard to say whether the 212 or the unknown closed loop liquid heatsink is better.

Thermal paste is not glue, it is used to fill the imperfections on the metal surface. It should be replaced everytime you mount the heatsink.

Probably because he's using a 32-bit operating system which has a 4gb limit of addressable memory.

Anybody know of a good fan controller that doesnt have knobs on the front? I need it to be flat so that I can keep the door of my case closed.

4 pin fan connection (or molex) needed
4 fans or more need to be controlled

Let me guess, you're dealing with the Fractal Design R3 design flaw?

There is this Lamptron touch controller. Lamptrons tend to have a billion channels, a billion watts per channel, and huge chunky heatsinks on each channel. Fairly pricey though.

Is a Corsair 550 TXM PSU sufficient for 560 Ti? It's not overkill is it?

Not really a design flaw, but its the corsair 550d.

Any others? That one appears to be 3 pin.

Most have 3-pin headers I think. They're doing voltage control as opposed to PWM control. Are all your fans really 4 pin with PWM control?

IIRC you can just plug in a 4-pin fan into a 3-pin header. Unless there's something really wonky going on with PWM fans that I don't know about...if it's getting something less than +12V on the positive rail, it won't be run at full speeds even if you aren't doing PWM control. So is this a problem to be 3-pin?

You can also look at fan controllers that fit into PCI slots (well the bracket on the chassis) or internal ones like Zalman Fan Mate if you don't need to change the values often.
