sale on!

[DTAC]

Some of those games should just be free (ie. Quake 2). And what's up with Doom being for sale? They released the source code almost a decade ago!

So I copied the data off gta v onto a spare HDD I have from a friend since it's a 60gb download that I can't handle... Now I put the hdd in and I can't find the folder. It contains a working OS and it was copied to the root of the c drive but it just doesn't show up. Anyone know why?

The folder is there cause it's a bare OS with NO applications or anything of the sort and there's 78gb used space and before there was only 12 so I'm positive the data is there somewhere.

Do you have one of those annoying usb key viruses that made the folder hidden by chance

[Jonathan_337]

Well I doubt it... Was a fresh installation of windows on that HDD. And the computer I got it from, I doubt it had any viruses either

Case doesn't appear to be a Tt v3
Components are nice though

[Ted_v2]

Ear.
Looks great. Quick question.
My pc has two fans. One directly on the processor on the heatsink. And one in the power supply.

Is this enough?
How you guys go about running fans? Is there a set way?
Intake and exhaust?


Also I need to install a second hard drive into my pc. Is that a complicated process?

Depends on the heat output of the components and how you work out the airflow. A lot of basic systems can get by with just one auxiliary fan in the case (usually somewhere to the front)

How you guys go about running fans? Is there a set way?
Intake and exhaust?

Sort of. The basic principle is that heat rises so the intake fans should be on the lower points of the case (front, base) and the exhaust fans should be on the upper rear and top. Some manufacturers of all in one liquid coolers state that its best to mount the cooling fans as intake even when the radiator is mounted on the rear or top of the case so you will have to reverse the airflow order. I'd say experiment a bit and use some temperature monitor apps and see which works best for you.

Also I need to install a second hard drive into my pc. Is that a complicated process?

Nope (someone else elaborate on this one.)

Guys, I upgraded my monitor last Christmas so my old Gateway 17" LCD has just been packed away and I'm thinking about selling it. It's in good condition and comes with manual, power and VGA cables? Also has DVI input. What do you think would be a reasonable asking price? I was thinking $450 neg.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

^ not sure dude you might get $300 for it if ur lucky cause a new 19" today is ~$700 with warranty and a 23" IPS in super tech is $1000 with warranty.

And the new ones are LED, your gateway is most likely CCFL which means low chance of inverter life and lack of white tone on screen changing to yellow.

You won't get anywhere near $450 for it.

[NR8]

Cool, wasn't aware of new prices locally. Thanks. In that case I might as well keep it then. Been thinking of building a basic PC with the old parts leftover from my upgrade earlier this year and maybe giving it to a less fortunate child.

[Ted_v2]

im unfortunate lol, shoot me your best price, ill take it

been a while since i posted..but HCCA is right..fans to the front are intake...fans to the rear are exhaust.
pc is meant to take in cool air from the surroundings via the front fan...pass it over your components for cooling...and the exhaust fan pull the hot air out if the system.

as for installing a second hard drive - you first need to know what type your got. IDE or sata.
locate free power and data cables inside your pc - power cables come from the PSU -data cables- you may have to run out and buy one.

for IDE drives you may need to set the jumpers on the drive itself to correspond to your system configuration-if you have other IDE drives installed - as well as position of the drive on the cable.

for SATA drives...idiot proof...plug and play no jumpers or anything - connect data an power cables an boot up.

in both cases you MAY have to enter the bios and manually set some options....

Thanks for the hard drive explanation, wasn't up to typing all dat info out

[Jonathan_337]

So.. Anytime I leave GeForce experience open.. And run GTA V.. It gets stuck in an infinite loading screen. And the social club refuses to come up when I press the home button on starting... If I force close GeForce experience through task manager it works fine :/

Anyone know why?

Just in case anyone is looking for an Ivy bridge

[nervewrecker]

I seeing 250gb ssd's can be had for under USD$100.00 and 8GB DDR3 for around USD$50.00.

Prices starting to drop.

[NR8]

Yeah dread.. Five months after I upgrade

[nervewrecker]
