Try with only one card at a time.

Yeah I guess. Anyway, would it be hard to flash a new BIOS if neccesarry? would there be a chance to brick my MOBO?

But if I bought one from the Lenovo website it should work?

It's an Intel that is in there already. I will quickly check what exact model it is.

Hey there, I am a noob when it comes to networking hardware, therefore I am asking you guys :-). My thinkpad L440 does not have a 5 GHZ compatible wireless networking card, and since my highschool recently made the shift I would like to buy one and put it in there. Do any of you guys know a good one? BTW: it still needs to be compatible with 2.4 GHZ as that is what we use in my home. Thanks.

Hello, I am bringing my old thread up as I do not want to start a new one. My HDD will now sping down according to my set timer. But once in a while I get theese "bumps" in activity, where something calls it just for a second and it spins back up. How can I detect what program is calling the HDD and delete it? This is what I mean: http://imgur.com/VMSWlLs Thanks

Headsets are very overrated. This video is good : Gaming Headsets Suck - Make Your Own For $50 or L…:

How is the definition I provided spurious? And yes sports are always competitive, otherwise not a sport. And golf is competetive. "Let's see who can get this ball, in that hole, with this club, by doing the fewest swings!" - first golf match ever. That is how any competition starts Swimming: "Who can swim from here, to there the fastest?" -First swim race High jump: "I can jump higher than you!" -First high jump competition. Archery: "After we're done shooting theese bloody french people with our long bows, do you want to see who can hit a round wooden target best?" First bow shooting competition. I may have been a joking a bit above, hope you will laugh, and understand my point :-)

Good good :-). But that is how language is, ever changing and confusing :-).

eSports players do a piece of work or a specific task of his occupation. Doesn't have to do with improving society. Just getting payed to do stuff. "a piece of work, especially a specific task done as part of the routine ofone's occupation or for an agreed price" http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/job

Okay... I see your point but I disagree. Oxford Definition: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/sport "An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment" Gaming doesn't involce physical exert (as I understand the word). But it does involve mental exert. Wikipedia Definiton: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport "Sport (or sports) is all forms of usually competitive physical activity which,[1] through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills." Gaming doesn't involve physical skill. It DOES involve physical activity but so does EVERYTHING else (eating, pooping, sitting, writing, talking etc). And gaming doesn't aim to maintain or improve physical abilities either. I am not saying it is easy, but you are not improving your body. Gaming does involve skills, but skills of the mind: tactics, reflexes, hand-eye coordination. BTW: Thanks for this discussion, it is nice to be challenged :-)

Like what sports? Darts? Bow shooting?

Relax man. I misunderstood you, and you misunderstood me. Yes; eSports is a physical activity as they have arms, and move them. They have eyes and blink them. If that is physical activity then yes. But by that logic, sending texts while lying in bed, by talking to Siri could be considered a sport becuase it includes physical activity (moving my vocal cord), hell Even sleeping, because I move my lungs when I sleep. BUT that was not the point I was trying to make. To be good at a sport, you have to perfect your body through exercise and training. And as I said before: Gamers don't train, they practice. Therefore not a sport.

I just want to add, that the reason a football player would play with a concussion, or a swimmer with a shoulder injury, cyclist with broken bones or any other athlete would try and compete, is even though, they know the danger, they trained their whole damn lifes for that match, fight or race, and it is devastating, to not be able to compete.

Okay a little embarrasing; no I did not notice :-S. Lol my mistake. And I am not saying or implying that making money from gaming is dumb or anything (not sure if you meant me or not), go ahead if that's what you want to do with life. IMO chess should have it's own catagory, like eSports have. It's all good that you want to be the best at whatever you do, Chess and eSports should just not be for the Olympics. As the two of us agree on :-). But not becuase people that watch the Olympics do not want to watch eSports (which they propably don't), it just doesn't belong there. They can have their own LoL olympics if they would like that, like chess has: https://chess24.com/en/olympiad2014 Or math: https://www.imo-official.org/ Just some background on me so you might understand my opinions a little better: I swim A LOT 20 hours+ every week, my goal is to be THE best (which i very loose term i know). In public school, year 8-10, I went to a class where everyone (I mean all, because in Denmark we go to one class of ~24 people were we have all the subjects with those other 23 people), were athletes (all kind of sports). We discussed a lot what sports are; Is golf a sport? Yes we said, as the best of those train their asses of, and are some of the strongest people I have ever known. Is chess are sport? No. becuase you don't have to use your body to be good at chess (except for the movement of you arm and hand). Now I have started Highschool (2. year half done), and I am going in an IT class, where most of us are boys and gamers. The guys there think that eSports are sports, because it requeires the same amount of skill as any other sport, where I went; yes it does. But you are not pushing your body, you are not using your body. That is the essence of (high level) sports. You push your body so hard, to do what is neccessary to win the next race, hole, match or whatever. And you do that because you love the training, the winning, the excercise, the friends and the challenge. I myself could not imagine my life without my sport. I am very sorry for spelling mistakes, it is dark, it is night and I am not a native speaker :-)

It said, physical exercise... Gaming is not exercise. EDIT: Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_exercise

How is gaming physical?

Ping pong is not hard? Look at how damn big their legs are, that is from hours and hours of training and excercise:

Well, when a player beats up someone the team would get a penalty, and likely would not win. IMO, people that want's to watch world championships in LoL, CS or whatever fine, do that. Buy their merchandise, watch the commercials make the players earn a living. That is all good. But gaming can never be a Sport since it is not a physical activity. Chess is not a sport. Curling is, the competition itself might not be physically challenging or hard (for the body), but the training is. eSport players doesn't need that. They need the same as every other person (enough not to die from obeseity). Golf is a sport, becuase the best of them, train insanely hard, both on the gold field and in the fitness centers. They are strong as hell. I am saying this as a gamer (casual one) and a swimmer. I train 20 hours a week to try and be the best. Golfers, curlers, and others do the same. Pro gamers don't train. They practice. That is where the difference is. I have my definition of sport from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport "Sport (or sports) is all forms of usually competitive physical activity"

I just like the way my sounds in english. It means nothing, but sound kinda fun. Saying it fast a couple of times sound really dumb :-)

I wrote 10%, so its closer to 40$ (250 DKK). But yeah, you're right thanks:-) Plus the 970's has that 0DB fan, so I can make my rig semi passive:-)

Hey there, I don't want to make a new thread so I'll ask here. In Denmark the cheapest r9 290x is the Asus MATRIX. And the cheapest GTX 970 is the Zotac 970 (the cheapest one). There is about a 10% price difference where the Asus is cheaper. What to get?

Are you kidding. That's why then... FML I love speedfan... Anyway Anyone know an alternative that can control DC fans?

Hey there, I am trying to configure my build to be semi-passive. Therefore I need Speedfan to control my fans. When ever I open the program, it just freezes my PC. I have used this program before on the same PC, but I just installed it today (after a windows re-install), and now it won't work. BTW: I can get NZXT CAM to work, but it can't (or I can't figure out) how to set fan speeds. Thanks :-)

If you plan on doing any sort of gaming, a windows desktop is the best option. The mac Pro can't run games.
