Hey Guys!
So I thought it was time I gave back to the community even more, and here it is. If you guys ask I will create custom sigs. for the site. I won't require payment however if you are happy with your product I'd appreciate a small amazon.com donation or for a donation to CPCR. Either way you would be helping out the site as the money for amazon would be towards me purchasing and reviewing products.

So if you want examples of my work check out my deviant art at Browsing deviantART.

Thanks :D

I was just wondering if anybody has tried OC the 3570k with a cm hyper 212. If you have may you please post some temps and maybe shine a little light on the topic since I am not familiar with OCing the ivy bridge chips.

ASUS GTX 670 DirectCU II $419.99

Hasoonie17 — Sat, 26 May 2012 01:48:09 GMT

Looks like Asus just launched their GTX 670 DirectCU II card either today or yesterday for $419.99, just saw it pop up on newegg randomly with no reviews yet & in stock lol. Looks like a nice alternative to the Gigabyte 670 Triple fan, not sure which runs cooler, but Asus is famous for this design and I would like to think that this is one of the best looking 670's out there at the moment for only a $20 difference.

$2000 to $2500 gaming rig.

Hi, guys I'm kinda new to the forum but that's not my question. I'm looking at a build sorta like the high end video editing/gaming build on the site but I don't know if I need the 3930k (actually from what I've read I'm pretty sure I don't) and I would like to get the 680 I don't have a deadline so to say, but I would like to build it by the end of the summer. Any builds or suggestions would be appreciated. I will be buying the parts from newegg. I plan to get a 21.5 moniter and I live in the U.S.. If I missed anything tell me below thanks.

OCZ Agilty 4 120 GB SSD

Zuanism — Fri, 25 May 2012 16:55:45 GMT

Hey guys, perhaps you've heard about the new OCZ agilty 4 SSDs. Well, I wanted to check out some reviews about it, but unfortunately there aren't any yet at this moment. I initially wanted to go for the sandisk extreme SSD 120 gb. Then, when I searched further I came across this one.

One shop sells it for only �83 while all other shops sell it for higher than �125. This isn't a co-incidence, because this shop does these crazy things more often. They also put the Asus GTX 670 DC2T for only �388. I was considering to buy it, but decided to wait. Few days later and now it's �440 in the same shop (guess they realised price was way too low).

Now, I don't want to make the same mistake with this SSD. Should I buy it or do OCZ SSD's generally just suck?

buying new monitor!

BitFenix Introduces the Prodigy Mini-ITX Case

sam.cpcr — Fri, 25 May 2012 05:19:26 GMT

Remember a couple months back when we spotted some photos of a couple unnamed BitFenix cases? Well, one of them turns out to be the BitFenix Prodigy. Traditionally, going with smaller Mini-ITX formfactor cases always involved massive tradeoffs. After all, the smaller sized case is physically incapable of fitting stuff like larger graphics cards or [...]

First off,
Sorry for the unannounced departure guys. Really unprofessional on my part.
Computer broke and I am now going to school and work full time.
However.... Because my computer broke and I am now limited on my computer usage.
I got a PS3. Add me on PSN. I am also purchasing Ghost Recon & Dragon's Dogma.
*So expect reviews/first impressions in the coming days. *Might even get around to recording some gameplay and providing review/lp vids.
Add me if you want to lobby it up in Ghost Recon, IDK how many people are actually planning on playing it, BUT IT LOOKS AWESOME.

At your service,
xTC
