The new Asus g750 laptop's just launched so I would wait to buy one if I were you. The one with 3d and a gtx 780m is supposed to release in august. Right now only the g750 with the gtx 765m is in stock. Plus the g55/g75 have weak graphics cards so you will have to turn down a lot of stuff to do 3d.

The Last of Us reviews
CountChoculitis replied to everything count to life's topic in Console Gaming
Really want to play this but I don't have the time atm. I will wait a month or two and just pick it up for half price. Lately it seems like console game prices have been dropping like a rock a few months after release. -
Congrats man. I always feel like a kid on christmas morning opening up new computer parts. Make sure you take some pics as you are building and upload them. I totally forgot to take pics while I was building mine until I was done.

Corsair 550D silent but deadly cool and quiet build
CountChoculitis replied to CountChoculitis's topic in Build Logs
That is why I bought that piece of wood cabinet shelving from home depot. That way the PSU and bottom intake can get enough air and are not sitting on carpet. My desk is too small to fit my PC on top of it :( . Once I get my own house or apartment I would love to have a large desk with my PC on my side with a window kind of like how Kyle from neweggtv has his set up. -
Corsair 550D silent but deadly cool and quiet build
CountChoculitis replied to CountChoculitis's topic in Build Logs
I only live at this place in the summer so I did not bother being too neat. Maybe one of these weekends I will take the time to do it. Looks a lot worse in the picture to me than it really is. Thanks everyone for your feedback. I really appreciate it. -
I have been having the same problem with my 680 in Crysis and Metro 2033. Not sure what is going on. Taking my OC off does not fix the problem either so I am not sure what is going on. Probably from this driver release so I might revert to an older driver.

I used to have the same card. I never had the coil whine problem you are talking about. Are you sure it is not your PSU? Otherwise you could try emailing Gigabyte customer support and submitting an RMA. The last card I had with significant coil whine was a gtx 460 so it should be unacceptable by now to just live with it.

Build a gaming rig for the first time
CountChoculitis replied to SidewardTexas's topic in New Builds and Planning
Do you have one? I had one before I upgraded in my budget build and it let out a high pitched noise even when shut off that was really annoying. I would actually unplug the computer from the socket so I could sleep at night. Google the problem or read some reviews and you will see this is a widespread issue on the CX line of PSU's. Maybe they fixed it by now but my brother had the same problem about 6 months ago with the CX 500 V2 also. I'm not knocking Corsair (I have a TX 650 myself) but I would just stay away from the budget CX line. If you need a budget PSU look at a Antec VP 450 or 550. -
Will There Be A Non Reference GTX 780?
CountChoculitis replied to Greg2895's topic in Graphics Cards
It is quiet until you start overclocking. To keep it under 80 C to stop thermal throttling you need a beefier cooler because the blower fan has to ramp up a lot more which makes it louder. At stock yes it is quiet just like my GTX 680 is quiet at stock settings. Overclocked it is a different story though. -
I turn mine on in the morning and off at night. I do not like any extra noise while I sleep and it seems like a waste of power to leave it on all night.

Who do you think is the most attractive girl
CountChoculitis replied to AustinTheIntern's topic in Off Topic
Maisie Williams. Kind of have a crush on her since I fell in love with Arya in the books. She just seems like someone fun especially if you check out her vine videos. https://vine.co/v/b0ZPt7tPMKD https://vine.co/v/b9xO3bt0WhJ https://vine.co/v/bYdpXZOJVMQ https://vine.co/v/bxEZrE1F9EU Game of Thrones Spoiler if you did not read the books. Click at your own risk. https://vine.co/v/b3XZMHmxzxh -
I do this a lot in conjunction with my yoga practice. It does build calf strength and increases foot strength. Walking chaturanga is always fun. Handstand prep also makes you walk with your toes a lot.

7/10. Looks good. Love Gigabyte mobo's and the 560 is still a strong card a 1080p. Only knock I would say is no SSD. Upgrade to a SSD and new video card at some point and that build will last you forever. My specs are in sig.

Yeah, I bought the Noctua fans before they were black..... B)- 79 replies

Why do I want this when I already have a gaming desktop? Anyways the gaming notebooks that most intrigued me were the thin and light Gigabyte and MSI ones with a gtx 765m. I could justify getting one of those since they would be laptops you could actually use and carry around but with the ability to game also.

Very first Xbox game I ever played. Fond memories. Thank god it is at least coming to the 360 since at the end of the ad it has the Xbox 360 Jump in thing. Not getting a XBone but I will rebuy for 360. Hoping it is just a XBLA download for $15.

3570K overclocking wall??
CountChoculitis replied to Bullieman13's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
My chip had the exact same problem. No matter what settings I changed or increase in voltage, I could not do higher than a 46 multi. Worked out in the long run though because my cooling would not be able to keep up with any more volts. With 4.6ghz and 1.33 volts I was right at the borderline. As long it does not thermal throttle during stability testing I am happy though. 24/7 and in games my temps never go above 70 C. -
Will There Be A Non Reference GTX 780?
CountChoculitis replied to Greg2895's topic in Graphics Cards
I want that gigabyte one. This reference gtx 680 is killing me and I want to go back to the quiet that was my gtx 660 windforce. -
I just upgraded my rig from a budget build with a i3 2120 and gtx 660 and I would say you are bottlenecked in most modern games with a dual core. I felt it most in minimum frames and better consistency moving from a dual core to a quad. If you look at frame latency or FCAT tests they also show better frame times with better CPU's.

Are 600 series Nvidia gpus still being produced?
CountChoculitis replied to xKnetic's topic in Graphics Cards
The longer you wait, the cheaper the card will get. Remember there is always a used market. If you need the extra performance right now, buy. If you don't, wait. -
Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 - The Perfect Case?
CountChoculitis replied to RobertVanGilder's topic in Power Supplies
I like it but I am also a silence freak so idk if I could live with the noise. For pure performance it looks like it would be great for air cooling. -

CountChoculitis replied to zephiK's topic in Networking
Using a Powerline Adapter from my main floor to my upstairs bedroom. Soooo much better than wireless.
