I can't believe this, I'm getting better results and less friction with my ultra cheap 10 years old A4-tech X7 2400DPI mouse. Guess what I'm using it on my desk without a mat as well... That should mean something about the "latest and greatest" gaming tech... I'm so disappointed that I can't express it with words. Super expensive mice are literally garbage...

Here's my hand and my mouse. Maybe that will help: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B119Iz2Bb7eeSzJVMDl2eHh5ZUk/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B119Iz2Bb7eeZmRQTHMyRUtYbUE/view?usp=sharing The palm looks much bigger in the second photo because it was taken with a wide-angle lens. The biggest problem with the mat is that it provides a very smooth surface for the mouse but it does create friction with the part of your hand touching the mat which kills all benefits instantly unless you are not touching the mat with your hand which is impossible for me. I tried my brother's Razer Goliathus today and it is a bit better for the hand, but not a whole lot better. My solution is probably a huge mouse which I can use without my hand touching the mat.

I have very long fingers, the palm is not that huge, but yes the hands are pretty big overall. I actually bought the Mamba because I was told by a store clerk that it's one of the biggest mice there was. Wrong! I really like the wireless thing though, I don't think I can go back to cable again, that's why I was thinking about the Ouroboros which according to Linus can be adjusted to be really long. Additionally there is some thumb support which may help isolate the finger from the mat.

Ouroboros + Megasoma 2 ?

Hello, I'm currently using a Razer Mamba 2012 + Razer Manticor mouse mat in my office for mostly precision work. I bought this combo with the hopes that I'll be able to achieve a near-frictionless movement during precision work such as drawing and measuring. Unfortunately I'm not using the claw grip, so the skin of my hand touches the mat most of the time. Whenever this happens I get too much friction and the cursor starts to vibrate and deviate from the cursor path. I don't know what to do. The claw grip sucks, it's too tiring and unstable. What should I do? Maybe switch a soft mat?

As we all know, most games don't run well on multicore CPUs, because they are optimized for Y2K hardware (wtf?) Could you be as kind as to post some games that are known to be well optimized for multicore CPUs like 5960x and so on? I'd love to try them.

So that's it? Nothing?

The 34UM67 is the closest thing I've found as well, but it's not curved, not 4k and it tops at 60Hz (although one should probably be satisfied with 60Hz for high-res displays for now, as more is likely unavailable). And don't you hate that transparent plexi stand, that looks like a cheap razer mouse box? I would gladly buy a professional display as well, but professionals don't care for freesync, so I doubt any manufacturer has implemented it in their professional lineup. I hate waiting!

Hello lads, I'm looking for a large 30"+ IPS 4K Curved display which supports Freesync for my new build. What would you suggest? Price limit is $10000. I really like the LG 34UC97 34", which is cheap as well, but no one at LG support has any idea if it's going to support Freesync (really disappointed with LG support btw, you don't have such issues with Dell). What would you suggest, I am running a 3 x R9 290X setup, but will switch to 4 x 390X when they pop up. Thanks in advance.

It's a CPU test bench, obviously the GPU doesn't matter too much.

Hello, 1) I'm only running the vRing with an offset of +0.100 as noted, everything else is on static or auto 2) If by cache mult and volt you mean uncore, I have only frequency settings for the uncore. I don't know where the voltages are, haven't seen any in the settings. 3) XMP is enabled 4) With all due respect, I don't believe this is a good advice. Using fault-tolerant software to benchmark stability is like trying to nail Jello to a tree. Prime95 can be used to achieve max temperatures when Small FFTs are selected, LargeFFTs however are mostly used for error checking and that's what I am after. I'm not using only Prime95, I'm also using OCCT and Cinebench. 5) Sure. That'd be interesting, although my idea of stability does not match yours, so I don't think I'll be interested in applying the same settings.

It may be high for a Haswell although opinions seem to differ on the web, regarding this matter. Even if we agree that it is high, this cpu still cost me only $60 so I wouldn't care if it melted away tomorrow. However, for the sake of overclocking mastery I'd love to tweak settings in a way that will allow me a lower vcore. IMO, simply upping the vcore in order to achieve stability is brutish and inelegant. I've seen a 4770k run at 4.9Ghz at 1.25v, so I really don't feel a sense of accomplishment, running a G3258 at 4.6 on 1.395v Update: It wasn't stable at 4.6 anyway. Crashed after 3 hours of Prime95. Back to 4.5 @ 1.31 I don't think this chip will perform any better.

Hello guys, I heard about G3258 some few months ago and decided to get one so I can refresh and improve my overclocking skills. Haven't been as excited about a CPU's overclocking capabilities in the last 4-5 years to be honest. So I bought the CPU and got the whole rig. Unfortunately I wasn't able to move past 4.5GHz @ 1.31V. I know about the silicon lottery and all, but since so many people were able to clock it successfully at 4.8GHz, I still wanted to share my experience in case I missed something. I still understand that this particular G3258 sample might not be a good overclocker. The rig: CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i MB: Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H (Last bios v.10b) RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400, 2x8 Kit GPU: XFX Radeon R9 290 Double Dissipation PSU: Fractal Design Newton R3 1000W Platinum SSD: Samsung 840 Evo (I know this rig is an overkill for this CPU, but it was built about the overclock, not to pursue "the best bang for the buck") Reaching 4.5GHz was as simple as it gets: *Set vcore at 1.31 *Set LLC at Medium *Set Multiplier at 45 *XMP Disabled *F10 The result was good. Rock-solid stability after 9 hours of OCCT Large Data Set torture testing. No errors whatsoever. Did a 9 hour Prime95 blended test as well just for safety - still good. Load temp 65C, Idle temp 23C. This worked flawlessly with XMP-enabled as well. However when I tried running a 4.6 everything went nuts. So I decided to read a little more on the webs, regarding the proper ways of overclocking a Haswell-based cpu. I am currently testing the CPU on prime95 with the following settings: *LLC = Turbo *vcore = 1.395 *vrin = 1.900 *vRing = Normal, offset +0.100 * I tried playing with Uncore, but frankly I wasn't able to do better than the Auto setting so I returned it to Auto I disabled all PowerSaving functions: *TurboBoost = Disabled *CPU Enhance Halt (C1E) = Disabled *C3/C6 State Support = Disabled *CPU Thermal Monitor = Disabled *CPU EIST Support = Disabled *Changed the PLL to South Bridge - some clockers claim this would improve stability. So I'm currently running Prime95 Large FFTs with these settings and it appears to be stable, but it's still early to say as it failed on vcore 1.385, about 30 mins in. I am doing this with XMP disabled. Initially I thought that this PSU might not have been the best in terms of ripple control and what not, so I switched to Antec HCP-1000 Platinum, but it did not improve the situation so I ruled out PSU performance issues. Basically that's it. I'd really appreciate any input. I am not a skilled overclocker so I could have easily missed something. For example I didn't change any of the chipset voltage settings. Maybe that's important? My goal is to reach 4.8. Do you think it's possible? Thanks in advance. P.S. vcore =1.395 vrin=1.950 mutliplier=46 I am 2 hours in Prime95 Large FFTs seems to be stable so far. Will have to pass the 24h test before it's official. I'd like to go a bit faster though. 4.7 or 4.8 would be ideal.

Hello, I've been getting some BSODs recently on one of my office PCs: The PC: CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 550 MB: ASUS M4A79XTD EVO RAM: 4GB DDR3 2 x 2GB GPU: Radeon HD5670 512MB PSU: Crappy Chinese 400W Do you think the ram's gone bad?

Hello, I would like to know if there are some All-In-One liquid cooling solutions which feature detachable tubing / hoses. As far as I remember one of NZXT's models was able to do that? I mean I get it, it's a closed loop system, but one must still be able to route the tubing through the water holes in the case. Do you have any idea if any of the following have detachable tubing? - Any NZXT water cooling - Arctic Cooling Accelero Hybrid II 120 - Any of Corsair - etc. Thanks. All help is appreciated.
