Okay, OC'd the 560s are awesome.
Reminds me that I still got some OC room on this thing, especially the CPU.
With a 470, I'll probably hit a safe temp wall before I lose stability. CPU overclocking is a pain though, because I never reboot this thing so never get to the BIOS. I'll just OC if I ever need it.

My CPU I've got overclocked like crazy.

Stock it's already OC'd to 3.7, but my Motherboard was all like "Nah, I can do more" and have it boosted to 3.9 when I'm idle/low use, and 4.2 when I'm doing anything heavy like gaming and such.

Which is why I love my computer.

Computer...well I have a laptop :|


Packard Bell Easynote TJ65


Though, the reason I like it is because it came with a better Graphics Card than the default one for this model, I've got a
Nvidia G310m, I beleive was the name. At least, 300 series. Runs most modern games and older games fine, so long as I keep the graph settings low, which is alot better than nothing for me :P

I always found it funny that the 300 series was mostly OEM to laptops and per-made desktops. I got to play around with a few and they were pretty good for what they did, though certainly out of date these days x3

Buddywolf, if you are a true gamer, you need a 128GB SSD, a Logitech G9X Mouse (can change the weight of it), and replace the 16GB of DDR3 RAM with some simple 6~8GB GDDR5 RAM. And if you got the money, get the nVIDIA Titan, it is the most powerful graphic card on this planet.
This post is extremely flawed.

- Only like 0,01% of all games actually benefit from SSD's so trust me, it makes NO difference most likely else than boot times... (I'm an early adopter to SSD's, got me one of those good ol' Crucial C300's so I know what I'm talking about).

- Mouses are extremely subjective, I've got myself a Mionix mouse and it also has weight adjustment and I like this a ton.

- While he doesn't benefit from it, having more RAM certainly doesn't hurt him. Just it's better for future proofing. GDDR5 RAM? You're mixing up graphics memory with regular RAM. GDDR5 is NOT the same as DDR3 and cannot be compared as so because of their different uses (notice one of them has G in front of it? That means it's for the graphics card!)

- Double 660 TI's or 7950/7970's would be better than a single Titan in terms of price for performance. Titan may be better on the paper but drivers also play a large role. And no it's not the fastest card on the planet. It's just the fastest chip. The 690 and 7990 will still surpass it in performance.

Got a new laptop yesterday :)


Dell Inspiron 14z
  • [size=78%]Windows 8 (64-bit)[/size]
  • [size=78%]Intel Core i5-3317U processor[/size]
  • [size=78%]6GB RAM[/size]
  • [size=78%]Intel HD Graphics 4000[/size]
It's definitely better than my old laptop, that's for sure.

Now that I've roomed with another computer tecky, I've been able to get my hands on some more goods lately.

I've upped my space to about 2.5TB and have four/five monitors running now. Happy Otter is Happy and can't be told otherwise.

You're not happy, you're superhappy
*steals stuff and runs*




Anyway, since I last posted here, I have a random DVD burner I found which works and looks good enough,
     as well as a Xonar DGX,
     and a card reader I was waiting on for months,
     oh, and parts for the lighting system have been ordered  ^_^
