Don't, A COMPLETE FCKKING IDIOT.

I will say yea, the PC Market is not that strong but it is stronger than ever because of the 7yr window between console releases. Now with x86 if will just benefit us even more. I hope SteamBoxes make at less a little "push" into living rooms.

X79 upgrade

4930K

EDT:
I'll sell you my MOBO with all decals taken off.

Having trouble keeping this chip above 4.4GHz. Believe it to be solely the board.

None the less, my 4670K @ 4.6 performs better in games over this 4930K @ 4.4. If for pure gaming, Haswell is really impressive. Such a big jump in IPC (IMO) if compared from SB to HW.

HW-E will destroy everything like they are freshman whores.

My 8320 hits a ceiling around 4.7/4.8, can't remember. Never the less your better binned 8350 should hit 4.5-4.6 with complete ease.

Have you ever tried OC'ing?

I think it's going to die sooner than that. It really depends on how much hashing power you ALREADY have or can get your hands on immediately. And then it depends on how many dollars of profit a day is worth it. For anyone with extra PCs/cards doing nothing but mining, in a separate room that people don't need to be in, then any amount of profit is worthwhile until the electricity costs exceed revenue. People getting gouged on eBay for 7970s and 7950s are probably going to lose money.

Today, someone with 1MH/s can expect about .5 LTC every 24 hours. In a week, it may be .3 LTC a day. Which would still be profitable if LTC doesn't crash hard.

Those cards are going for equal or less than what they retail for. Only the higher end cards are going for crazy prices

So I have a shite load of Sears credit because everytime I build or flip a house I buy appliances from there. I had no idea I had so many until Sears emailed me about it and they are about to expire. I figured I would get another GPU or two with the points so I go to their PC section and check this out...





I bet the cooling on that tower is horrible but the acoustics are pretty amazing.
