  1. How long is the USB cable on the C310, on amazon it recommends a USB extension.
  2. The best option I found so far is Assetto Corsa which is not out yet unfortunately.
  3. I am going to use it mainly for streaming, so it will just be a small part of the screen in the corner that will be shown, so it dosnt need to be very high quality, I think. I DO NOT want it to have a microphone and I need it to have a mount for the top of my monitor. Thanks in advanced for any webcams you guys can suggest me.
  4. Ive been looking around the internet trying to find some good racing simulation games for PC (I want to get a G27 racing wheel or similar, with pedals and gearshifts and all that) but I can't seem to find anything. I am mainly looking for a variety of cars to drive a lot of customization and upgrades similar to forza. Thanks in advanced for any help you guys can give me. -- Also if anyone knows good steering wheels / pedals other than the G27 please let me know
  5. I got sky ui, sksi, deadly dragons, and pise. I will hopefully find more I want later, thanks everyone for the feedback so far!
  6. I used to play skyrim on my xbox 360, I "beat the game" (mostly saying this because I got to a point where all combat was way to easy, I only play on master) with an archer, a mage, and a warrior. I only actually beat the main story once, but I did other quest lines and such many times over these 3 characters. They were all on master from start to finish and ended with me being bored because nothing was a challange. I just recently bought skyrim on pc because of the quakecon sale, hoping I could get into it again and enjoy another playthrough. I noticed that they added legendary difficulty, which I tried right away and stopped within 30 minutes because it was simply not fun to have to take that long to kill things, but Im sure it is a good difficulty for late game. My problem right now is finding a way to play skyrim again without being bored. I already made a warrior and a mage and felt the same things I did when I played on xbox 360, My warrior will get insane armor and weapons and be untouchable (Usually playing a breton with armor and other buffs to help with magic resist), My mage had such rediculous conjures that I didnt even need to fight most battles, and when I did I was also untouchable because of enchantments and range advantage. My main problem is that I really like being as effective as possible (and yes, on my archer I NEVER used anything besides my bow, even when they were right in front of me stabbing me), I didn't use any exploits on any of my other characters, but If I could spend all my gold to get a high level in smithing/enchanting/alchemy, which eventually became way to overpowered, I did it because it was the most effective thing I could do. I would much rather use 1 type of fighting (1 handed warrior for example), instead of using a bow and switching to 1 handed when they get close, It would eventually lead to me having a mediocre skill at both archery and 1 handed and wouldn't be nearly as effective as spending all that time leveling up 1 or the other. So my first main question is if there are any mods that will make for a way better combat system, ESPECIALLY when it gets to the late game, there was always a breaking point, usually around levels 40-50, where I would get strong enough equipment/spells that nothing would be a challenge (quite literally nothing, dragons where simply something I swiped at once, regaurdless of the type, any bosses or dragon priests were easy enough to kite and take out, If I needed to kite at all.) Thanks to anyone and everyone who take the time to read this and give me some feedback. I do really love skyrim and I am hoping I can find a way to enjoy it like I used to. P.S. Content is NOT the problem, I am looking for a "better" way to play the game. I still have not done everything, but pretty close to doing everything if you combine all 3 of my main characters from xbox 360.
  7. I guess I will change my question to be more specific, What android phone will be most similar to an iphone, in terms of size and usage.
  8. This will be my first smartphone. I am looking to replace my ipod touch 4g which just broke. I don't want any of the new "top of the line" phones, and I don't want to spend a lot of money, I don't really have a specific budget but I don't know enough about phones to just look at the ones and display and see what I want. Like I said, I am looking for a replacement for my ipod, something that can do similar things (not an iphone, I wouldnt need to ask if i was willing to get one of those) I am probably going with some sort of android device, I am just wondering whats out there that can let me download apps, listen to music, play games, watch youtube and browse the web on a browser, pretty much everything a device like an ipod touch could do. Sorry if this is a really general question, I tried to be specific with what I want. Phones I have seen that I could potentially get might be something like a galaxy s4, but that may be too expensive. Thanks in advance for any feedback you guys can gie me, hopefully someone can suggest a phone I end up buying soon.
  9. I am using MSI afterburner. My first question is if it is safe to put the power and all the voltages at their max and then mess with the clock speeds until I find what is stable. I have had the power limit at max since I built this computer but I dont know if it is safe to have all the voltages maxed out or not. And if I should max the voltage, should I max all 3 of the voltages? (memory, aux, and core). So far (without overvolting) I havnt been able to overclock my core clock not much at all but I can overclock the memory just fine.
  10. Thanks for all the info everyone, Hopefully I can grab myself another MSI just to be consistent, sold out on newegg but I can get one on amazon right now.
  11. I currently have a MSI GTX 660 Ti power edition and factory overclocked. The base clock (on the box at least) is over 1000mhz. Some GTX 660 Ti's that I see that I could buy have as low as 915mhz base clock speed. Will every possible combination of GTX 660 Ti's work together in SLI? I am hoping to get either any MSI card if I can find one (mainly for looks in my case), But I will be more than happy settling for another card, hopefully something like an ASUS. Thanks in advanced for any answers. i5 - 3570k at 4.0 ghz 8GB 1600mhz ram MIS G45 motherboard HX 850 power supply ONE, hopefully two soon, GTX 660 Ti (not overclocked) I think this is all relevant information for this topic about my system. edit - Do they both need to have 2GB of vram?
  12. I want to eventually upgrade and buy another GTX 660 Ti (MSI power edition) when I "need it". Im guessing that will be in about a year, maybe longer. I was wondering if anyone had any predictions based on previous products to when I will NOT be able to pick one up. When a new generation comes out (I know there are some 700 cards out now), should I get one as soon as I can or will it be safe to wait until they release more cards? And by "need it" is when I will actually need more power to run modern games on high-max settings at 1080p. Right now I am fine with the performance I get on all the games I play.
  13. I have an MSI G45 motherbored, When I have it at default settings and stock speed, 3.4 GHz, it will drop to 1.2 - 1.6 GHz when I idle at the desktop with nothing open, When I overclock it to 4.0 GHz, it never drops no matter what I do, should I be worried about it always running at 4.0 GHz even when I am "afk" and not doing anything.
  14. I cant really afford to just "get a new psu" and i dont have another computer to use while it does an RMA, I guess i could get one if anyone can confirm that the psu is to fault.
  15. It happend for the third time today, I am just doing my usual gaming/internet surfing when it just shuts off, no errors, no bluescreen, just powers off, and then it trys to turn on, the fans and lights will come on for literally 1 or 2 seconds and it will turn off again, eventually it "gives up" and stays off. This time, to get it to turn back on, i had to unplug and replug the 6pin PCIE (both of them) from my GTX 660 Ti, unplug my motherboard power connector, unplug and replug in my ram, and it evenautally turns back on and its all back to normal. Any idea what this is? Power supply HX 850 i5 3570k 8gb 1600MHz ram MIS GTX 660 Ti (PE/OC)
  16. Right now, I would wait for the new intel haswell series, get a decent i5 for $200-$250, and then get a gtx 670 (nvidia) or a radeon 7950/7970, whatever fits your pricepoint the best, I have a i5 - 3570k with a GTX 660 Ti (both overclocked) and it runs like a beast.
  17. Yea they are twin frozr but they try to rev up WAY faster than normal and then my computer just shuts off, sometimes it will try to turn itself on again a few times without me pressing the power button.
  18. This has happend twice over 3-4 months now, I will turn my computer off for the night, and when I go to turn it on in the morning, it will start up for literally 1 second or less, my graphics card fans will try to rev up to 100% speed, but it shuts off before they even get there. To fix it, I did a variety of random things because I don't know what I actually should do, like taking out the RAM and putting it back in, unplugging and replugging in my graphics card, turning the switch on my power supply on and off, and it eventually works. I think it may be a power supply issue, but it runs fine 99.9% of the time, I am an avid gamer, playing modern games at high settings (3570k and GTX 660 Ti). If anyone knows any way to fix this permanently or anything please help. Thanks. My power supply is a corsair HX 850.
  19. Hey everyone, I am looking for a FREE recording program to record my games at 1920X1080 at up to 60 FPS that has the lowest fps drops. I currently use fraps and it drops my fps signifigantly when I record and it takes a TON of space. I know I can compress it later but if there is a recorder that dosn't drop your fps a ton and automatically compresses the video or something like that. Thanks a ton for anything you guys can give me. i5 - 3570k (at 4.0 GHz) GTX 660 Ti 8GB 1600 MHz Ram 1TB HDD and 128GB SSD
  20. It had happend 3 times over 5-6 months, all 3 times were while I was gaming. Nothing appears on my screen, no pop-ups. error messages, or anything, my computer just completely shuts off, lights, fans, all of that stuff, and turns back on after about 5 seconds (I don't press the power button, it does it by itself) All I do is "start windows normally" and everything is back to normal. could this be a power supply issue? I have an HX850 with an i5 3570k and a GTX 660 Ti, so I know it has more than enough watts.
  21. Both of the crashes were while i was gaming. My monitor simply lost signal, my headset was buzzing (pretty loudly), and my computer was still (on), lights and fans and everything still going. Had do hold down the power button to shut it off, restarted, choose "start windows normally", and everything is fine, execpt for when it crashed again. The first crash was while I was playing Orcs Must Die 2, the second crash was while I was playing Alan Wake. After the first crash i reset my processor back to stock speeds (i had overclocked it recently, ran prime95 for hours to test it), after the second crash I took off the memory overclock on my GPU (MSI Afterburner), and then I decided to post in the forum, so here I am. If anyone knows what this might be or what I can do to fix it, please help me out. Nothing is damaged as far as I can tell, so i am not very worried, but it sure is annoying when I have to reboot in the middle of a game. MSI GTX 660 Ti PE/OC , Up to date drivers 8gb 1600mhz ram i5 3570k stock speeds for now (was running at 4.0 ghz) both games were running off of steam Hopefully i gave enough information, thanks to anybody who can help out.
  22. I set the voltage to 1.2 and the multiplier to 40. In prime95 blend I am getting 55C as my highest temperature. Temperature is not the issue for me but it is finding voltage so it dosnt crash, is it safe to test it until it does crash and then change the OC? I am always worried when it shuts down on its own.
