[Ronaldo95163]

Got the Logitech G510 Today as well
Was going for the G15 but since the 510 came out i've been eyeing it

[M_2NR]

What ups u have?

Forza SL-5110

I disconnected the USB cable...same problem....ended up plugging the PSU back into the wall

I'm seeing that's 500VA or 250W. Chances are that's too low for it. N you're tripping it. Although my system is older and less efficient, I use about 150W idle and over 300W under load.
HCCA?

This is d ups?

Have to agree with M_2NR here. By my calculations u using about 350 - 400 watts so anything over the rated output of the ups will trip it off.

Both my systems running a radeon hd 5970 each pulls abt 180w idle/325w load (amd system) and 160w idle/350 w gaming load 3d enabled (intel). Therefore i have dem hooked up to two 1kVA ups each to compensate for the power draw (and future system upgrades up to a point).

A 750va ups should be fine. as a minimum.

Nope.
Yea it's 650 lol. Anyways I just ran a bit of BF3 and ran Prime 95 and everything seems to be working great. BF3 is running on ultra settings btw

UPS isn't under any load when gaming now. In Prime 95 I get 4/5 bars on the load meter....gaming I get 2.


Thanks for the advice HCCA

EA coming out with another Most Wanted



Looks rather boring imo but the Graphics shouldn't be disappointing...

[HCCA]

^^Dey say it resembling the burnout racing game.

If it anything or better than the original Most Wanted i'll bite.

[Ronaldo95163]

Most Wanted was a mleh to me

BTW guys i'm using the Logitech X540 and I wanna setup the 5.1 surround sound on my PC but I get no response from the center,rear and Subwoofer speakers in the test :/

How am I supposed to set it up? There are three output jacks from the x540(Green,Orange and Black)

[Elyon]

^^
it is burnout just with the nfs name attached to it.

the original most wanted was my favorite need for speed game but this just doesn't look like most wanted

isn't it colour coded for the input jacks at the back of your motherboard also?

[Ronaldo95163]

They are and I followed them but I only get response from the two front speakers only

[xaira]

so when you run the tests you only get a response from the 2 front speakers?

are you sure the lines at the back of the sub are all properly plugged in?

do you have 3d mode or matrix mode enabled?
in other words, are both lights on the control panel on?

[xaira]

[Ronaldo95163]

Yes Matrix mode is enabled

[Ronaldo95163]

So matrix was the problem...
I took it off and I got responses from all speakers now...

Mad Catz Unveils Extravagant Modular Gaming Keyboard
$300 S.T.R.I.K.E.7 now shipping - features modular design and LCD touch-screen.

Today at GamesCom in Germany, Mad Catz revealed the S.T.R.I.K.E.7, its new "Professional Gaming Keyboard". While the S7 is presumably targeted at a larger audience than actual career gamers, its profuse feature-set and hefty price tag ($299.99 msrp) are probably excessive for anyone else.



The S7 is one sweet keyboard. On top of LAN party envy, its innovative design promises the kind of over-the-top custom functionality that could finally give you that decisive competitive edge (at least, that's what Mad Catz is banking you'll tell yourself).

Interchangeable rubberized cursor keys and highly adjustable palm rests facilitate maximum comfort and control, and the keyboard's modular components are all removable and reconfigurable. If your keyboard tray's short on space, you can detach the number pad. If you still want to use it, the S7's cable attachments will let you keep it on a different level of the desk (or the left side of the main keyboard).



The S.T.R.I.K.E.7 comes with a few pinky-stretching macro keys, but most of its macro functionality is built into the V.E.N.O.M. display attachment. The S7's touch-capacitive LCD - definitely the keyboard's biggest selling point - supports custom macros, quick-launch for games, apps, and websites, and media controls with program-specific volume options. Inbuilt apps include a clock/timer, a journal for game-specific notes, plus full support for Teamspeak http://www.teamspeak.com/.



As rad as the S7 is, it's hard to recommend any peripheral at this price. For the same chunk of change you could pick up a pretty decent graphics card or five or six brand new games - or, for that matter, a PS3 or Xbox 360. Still, there's no denying the S.T.R.I.K.E.7 would look pretty sweet beside the R.A.T. mouse (approx. $60), which Mad Catz is marketing as the "perfect companion piece" to the new keyboard. And we bet it could type up a mean term paper.
