Re: Whats Beast are you using to play The Hunter and Other g
I'm going to join the cue with a rather, er, mediocre system.
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00 Ghz (soon to be upgraded to a Quad Core)
Windows Vista Home Basic 32 bit (yes, I know... I'm getting Windows 7 next year)
4GB DDR2 RAM
Nvidia Geforce GTS 250 1GB SC
Regards!

Re: Whats Beast are you using to play The Hunter and Other games
Your motherboard is definitely holding you back, as I have the same CPU. The older 770 chipset won't allow as much overclocking headroom as the newer chipsets. I cannot get any higher than 3GHz either, even with with better cooling than you have and more vcore. The CPU just runs too hot with the 770 chipset.Micah77 wrote:OS: Windows XP Home Edition SP3 (32bit)

this processor to 3.4 with no problem. But my computer will do nothing but crash on me (i'm using the AMD overclocking

Re: Whats Beast are you using to play The Hunter and Other g
Some CoolerMasters come sprayed black internally due to popular demand. This is my Sniper Mesh Edition:

Re: Whats Beast are you using to play The Hunter and Other g
i believe the first Coolermaster 690 was plain colour inside and the newer version is black inside.
theres loads of reasonable cases with black insides now just make sure you do reviews on them like some of the fractial r2s and other makes have a bitumen smell due to the blacking of the inside and takes along while for it to go away
