Realtek ALC1150 onboard sound is "O" "K" for gaming.Don't try to update to the newest driver version for it though.I've run into problems with that particular Realtek chip a couple machines running Win 8 and Win 8.1 x64.Several BSODs and a few hours of troubleshooting later and it runs and works fine on the Realtek WDM driver that Windows installed from Windows Update.Can't use all the special tools that came in the big Realtek driver pack but it does work good for COD4,BF3/4 and any other game. If you run Windows 7 you wont have any problems with the driver. If you are going to be using a USB headset I wouldn't worry about it.

Couldn't be happier with my G-Skill memory.I have 8gb of G-Skill Ripjaws X series pc3 12800 ddr3 1600.I got the memory speed that was compatible with my motherboard so I didn't have to go in and monkey with the timings.I could of went Alot higher on memory speed but I'm kinda glad that I didn't. Check the motherboard for compatable memory speeds.The motherboard you want supports.4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 3300(O.C.)/3200(O.C.)/3100(O.C.)/3000(O.C.)/2933(O.C.)/2800(O.C.)/2666(O.C.)/2400(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1600/1333 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory It will run 1600 without having to monkey with timings but the other Higher speeds will give you a very Noticeable improvement in speed.You might want to do some research on what memory speed to run with that CPU and Motherboard combo. http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/MAXIMUS_VII_FORMULA/specifications/ Quick question.What GPU are you planning on running?850 watt is good for 1 big power hungry card or 2 that require less power.Lets say that you will run 2 GTX 780 cards your power consumption will be up to 848 watts with everything else running.With 2 Big power hungry cards you will want at-least a 1000watt power supply.They recommend 750 watts or greater for just 1 ATI Radeon R9 290X card on Newegg or 600 watt or greater for a GTX Titan wich I think is a bit on the Light side.Those cards are very power hungry. Here's a power supply calculator. http://powersupplycalculator.net/ BTW the Corsair AX series power supply are very very good.I really like the Fan setup on them.The fan will actually throttle down and shut off until it needs to cool down.Very very quiet and very stable.I've done a bunch of testing on my 2 year old AX850 under load for stability and it doesn't drop more than .01-.02 volt on both the 5v and 12v circuits drawing as much power as my current hardware can handle.

Very Very nice case but a Little expensive.If possible I would wait 1 month till Black Friday and get everything Alot cheaper. 1 AWESOME thing about that case is,it's Aluminum.Once you get your 1st Aluminum PC case you will understand what Im talking about.They keep Cool better than Any thing out there.The whole case is basically a big radiator.It will feel Cold to the touch even on the Hottest of days if you have enough Fans in it.BTW that case is HUGE 25.6" x 9.9" x 27.2" and 41lbs.My Corsiar Carbide 500R is a Big case for a "Micro ATX / ATX" case.20.5" x 8.1" x 20" and 16.6lbs Dude that thing is the size of a small refrigerator I would get 16gb of memory.I've been running 8 gig in 1 of my machines for a couple of years and it will use a little over 7 gig running Windows,my favorite Anti Virus,Arma 3,and TS open.If I wanted to Ditch the Pagefile I would be running out of memory.Also it doesn't hurt to Future Proof your PC a bit just in case. Those Closed loop Corsair coolers are really really good for the money.I've built a few dozen PCs with them.the 1st gen H40 and H50 were the only ones that had problems leaking.I've built PCs using the H50,H60,H80,H100,H80i and the H100i and the only one that showed signs of leaking was the H50.And it didn't really leak but it was seeping around the copper water block/pump base. Only thing I wish they had was an inline Flow meter so you could SEE the fluid moving.Something like this little cheap guy.

After looking at your Boards Specs I found that it is listed to have Either Atheros AR8131M LAN OR Realtek RTL8111DL LAN depending on Revision number. Memtest86+ works ok BUT you have to run it a LONG time and run Multiple instances (10+) on these multi core CPU and 8gb+ PCs to really stress the memory.That's when it will tell you if your memory is OK.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL is caused by a Incompatible Driver and may be caused by the CPU not being seated correctly. If you took memory out or video card out it may have shifted the CPU in the socket.Improperly seated CPU will cause All sorts of funky shit to happen.Done this a few dozen times.I've built 100s of PCs at work and a few dozen that I've built and sold for profit and a few for friends and relatives. I had IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD after Updating the Realtek lan driver to the newest version on my other machine.You can't install over the damn thing either.It takes place of the original windows driver and can not be rolled back unless you do a System restore.Only option is to Roll back using system restore to before you installed it or Reinstall the OS or manually dig through and delete all Realtek registry entries and files in safe mode. Don't update Realtek LAN drivers if the Windows driver works.Leave it alone. I've had problems with Realtek's fucking drivers on both LAN cards and Sound cards.Realtek 8111F is 1 of the wost ones I've run into so far for having driver problems in Win 7 and Win 8 and Win 8.1 64 bit OS.

I would try to Re-seat the CPU and apply new thermal compound 1st and see if it helps.If it doesn't Pop 1 of your memory Modules out and try it.Then take both out and try the other one.If your still getting the same errors Unhook the DVD drive and pull out everything but the memory,GPU,CPU and the hard drive. I've had several PCs with Out Of Memory issues and most of the time it is either the CPU or memory needed reseated or 1 of the add in cards (mostly Modems or LAN cards) went bad or bad CD/DVD actually was shorting out internally.Had a few that ended up being just a Loose power connector on the hard drive.Others that the HDD would randomly shut down because of the Power Supply.Bad,Bulging or Leaking Capacitors on the Motherboard and inside the Power Supply will also cause the same problem.

It offsets and darkens the Shadow around everything making it stick out like a Sore Thumb through the smoke.I consider it a cheat ONLY because it is not available for All Video Cards. On another note Alot of people have they're graphics cranked Down the whole way and Several dozen Console commands set to get every advantage that they can possibly get.Which isn't really fair either.Those said Console commands can be locked Server side just like the Max FPS. There are 1,336 COD4 Console Commands.Alot of ways to Cheat just by setting up your Config.Several of them can remove objects or thin them out such as lodscalerigid.

I would get something with a Lifetime Warranty if at all possible. Don't know if NewEgg.com ships to the UK but this is a pretty darn good deal. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150686&cm_re=Radeon_R9_270X-_-14-150-686-_-Product Your memory should still be under Warranty.I would RMA it just to be on the safe side.All Corsair memory has Lifetime Warranty Even they're Cheaper stuff. The Radeon HD 7950 and 7970 3+gb cards are a bit faster than the R9 270x and you can find them cheaper online.Might want to look around a bit. Refurbished 7950 3gb http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202071 OH I completely forgot about Import Tax and VAT and all the other stupid Taxes you guys have to pay to import stuff.

My grade school teacher told me that I would grow up big and strong if I Drank my Milk and Ate my String Beans.Well it didn't work lol.I'm 5 foot 10 and 144lbs fully dressed.Been the same weight since I was 16.My 2 brothers are the same size and my Sister was short and skinny as well. They tell you all sorts of BS just to get they're way with ya. They're all Evil I tell ya EVIL.

Thanks for the Update @@Sammy People will not go onto the other server unless 1 is full.Same thing happens with the any other Mod server.Main one will remain full and the others will remain empty for the most part.Really not enough people playing COD4 lately to support populating the other 6 servers.But Zombies must stay (good bit of ppl log on and play it when the servers are all empty) and Ace Mod gets populated fairly well and SVR 1 FTag gets populated but the rest sit empty.

Sammy Can you Please make the darn Friendly bubbles so we can shoot through them?it's messed up that you can hide behind a frozen Friendly player and take out 10 enemy ppl.Some guns shoot through Enemy bubbles but the ones I use sure as heck don't.Is there a Perk that allows you to shoot through frozen people? "Some people" shoot straight through 5 frozen ppl and get kills namely Mexican,IFly,Prinny some times Tagger there's a Few more ppl that seem to not have Any problem with it.Am I missing something?I call them hackers All the time and alot of other players do to.Most of the time it happens in Tunnels or narrow sections where they can line up behind a frozen team mate and mow down Anyone that happens to venture there to defrost his/her teammates. Also the Darn AGM "UAV with the guided Rockets" still can not be shot down.That thing in skilled hands = 1/2 the other team dead.There's No defense against it on alot of maps currently in rotation. Those 2 things and the Lag and CIs are keeping me from enjoying what little time I have to play on the COD4 MW2 Freezetag server.I've been playing CSS Freezetag mod the last couple weeks because I've been getting very very frustrated with the MW2 server and All of the other servers are Empty. The NO-ACR mod is No where near as Smooth playing as the Old mod was.Ask ANY one they will tell ya.It's been laggy Since day 1.There's just something that makes it feel Really laggy.Even though I have a constant 34-37ms ping and my FPS doesn't drop below 250. Last night everyone was getting random CIs Even me.34ms 1 second then 999ms then 20 seconds later it was back to 34ms.Seemed to hit the Lower ping players the hardest and most often.

I'm never buying another Crucial SSD after the BS I went through to try to get an RMA done on a 2 week old C300 128gb SSD.Worked really good till it had a Hick-up and whipped out it's own Firmware out.Crucial refused to replace it stating that it was User error that corrupted the firmware. All I did with the damn thing was install windows and a couple games on it.Never messed with the Firmware. Bad thing is that once your Firmware becomes corrupt the drive is completely useless.It will no longer be detected by the SATA controller.I've tried it on several external controllers with the same results. I've has issues with Crucial not honoring they're Warranty before on memory and a ( fairly expensive at the time ) 16gb Flash drive.Not doing it Ever again. My Brother bought 2 of the Samsung 840 500 gig drives and is running them in Raid 0.He says the Read speed is Ridiculously fast in raid but the write speed is actually a tad bit slower that just running 1 drive.He said he's very very happy with them so far. I plan on getting 1 500gig SSD drive and another 8 gig of memory on Black Friday which is just 2 months away.Maybe some other goodies as well.

DUDE This is a fucking GOOD Cover for Katy Perry's Dark Horse. Sounds ALOT better if you download it. BTW if you didn't know this is the shiznit for "borrowing" music off of Youtube. http://www.youtube-mp3.org/

:rofl:

Looks like Gaylo I mean Halo nty.

lol

HELL NO.Not EVER again. SuperAntiSpyware was a Fake AV just 5 years ago that downloaded Dozens and Dozens of Infected toolbars and and Browser Hyjackers and all sorts of NASTY shit. I don't give a Flying fuck if they went legit or not that shit costed me personally Many hours of suffering and time to back up what little it did not infect and reinstall everything. Malwarebytes is very good and Adblock+ popup blocker for Firefox is all you need. Use Malwarebytes Game Mode feature while your gaming.AV is still active but does not actively scan incoming data.So it won't interrupt your gaming and PunkBuster won't bitch about it.

#1 It Does Defrag and your HDD Activity will be at 100% Happened to me Damn Every time I tried to play COD4.Wich when loaded up takes very little resources to run.It will also try to run if your simply watching a movie.Wich will more than likely lock your media player up for a bit.You will be forced to buy some other disk utility to defrag or Disable the Service and only use it when YOU want it to run.And it trys to "Optimize" SSD drives.Defraging an SSD drive is a HUGE No No.I have a dead Crucial C300 128gb SSD HDD sitting in my desk to prove that.It was only used for 2 months and Win 8 was activly trying to Defrag it and it corrupted the Firmware.Which Crucial doesn't cover under they're warranty policy btw. #2 ya spend more money on the incomplete POS OS.And make it look like Win xp unless you spend the big bux and get the one from StarDock. #3 It parks 4 of the cores on my 8 core CPU and you have to use a utility to unpark them or you will get Alot of Micro shuttering Which acts like alot of small Lag spikes in games.Microsoft Did make a Hot Fix for this but it is not included in they're Updates. #5 I get All of the stability security updates I have a KMS license key it just doesn't alow you to Upgrade to win 8.1 Not everyone can afford to pay $199.99 for a premium OS. I've been building and repairing PCs since MS DOS/IBM DOS v1 was introduced back in the 80s.I've had hands on experience with Every Windows OS to date.I kinda know what im doing here lol. All that crap being said. Windows 8.1 is Faster than Win 7 by aprox 3.6-6% depending on what program or game your running.As for Compatibility and easy to use? Windows 7 is the ticket.This was the Verdict of a 1 year study done by TomsHardware.com

Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Loads up shit faster but It will take some time to Disable the Metro Interface and do all the Tweeks and shit to make it run games the way it should. #1 it will try to Defrag or "Optimize" your HDD while your Trying to play games if the CPU and HDD activity is low. #2 Metro fucking sucks #3 It parks 1/2 the CPU cores making them unusable until you Unpark them #4 Memory usage will be low Until you run it for a couple months Then it will use 1 1/2 times the memory that Win 7 does #5 If you run the Cracked version of Windows 8 you can Not upgrade to Win 8.1 without reinstalling. THIS Sucks because AMD and Nvidia Both stopped Supporting Windows 8 Driver wise.They suggest that you Downgrade to 7 or Upgrade to 8.1. That being said If I had known how much of a PAIN IN THE ASS Windows 8 and 8.1 was I would of Never installed it on my Gaming PC. Wait till they release Windows 9 if you want to upgrade. It's supposedly going to be tailored for PC Gaming and Computing and very user friendly Without having the Metro Interface.

I haven't had any viruses Since I Reinstalled Windows 2 years ago.Stay the hell away from Facebook,Don't download music or Pictures off the Web and dont watch p0rn on your Gaming PC.All I have is Adblock + and I occasionally run Trend Micro House Call if I think something may of installed it's self. If I do get a Bad virus that will more than likely diminish the performance of my PC even after getting rid of the bugger,It only takes an Hour to completely restore everything I have. I have a spare 120gig hard drive Loaded with windows and most of my games that I play.Doesn't take very long to Clone a Hard Drive.Every couple of months when I Blow the Dust out of my PC out I plug the 120 gig in and back up everything After making sure that I have no Viruses or Spyware. Viruses and Spyware are Very easy to detect if you Know what Processes are for what and how they should act.

Beats me man.Might have something to do with PB? Try to update with this thing.I was having issues when I load in it was laggin like a mofo for about a minute on every map.Think PB was trying to do some sort of Check or some crap. http://www.xtremeidiots.com/files/file/26-pbsetup-for-legacy-games/

Read that he's been in and out of Drug And Alcohol rehab for years.He was in rehab June of this year.Guess the stress and possible withdrawal was to much to handle.He was such a great actor.

I would NOT get Crucial memory. I've had several sets of memory and 2 crucial SSD drives in the past couple years go bad.They are fucking horrible to get an RMA done on and they charge you for shipping both ways. I've had Really good luck with the G-Skill ripjaws x series memory and Corsiar Vengeance Pro memory. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233538 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231489 Both are Very Very good memory. DDR3 1600 is the sweet spot for ppl not wanting to have to Dicker with memory timings and crap to get them to work.Most newer motherboards will only recognize speeds up to 1866 without manually setting the timings manually any way. Mule if you get the H100i Make sure that it will fit the case you want.It will NEED 2 120mm fan ports Side by side on the Top or the Back. I doubt that a H100i will fit that NXT Phantom 410 Case.There isn't much room above the motherboard.For both the Radiator AND the fans.And if you run 4 fans it will Not fit without cutting the whole top out. Edit. The H100i will fit if you take the Plastic top off and install it under that.So the Radiator will be on top of the case and the fans inside the case.

Dude check out this Combo Deal on Newegg. $1851.40 It's a pretty darn good Combo deal.Prices on Everything are really high ATM.You could wait till Black Friday and build this exact same system for around $1200. I would NOT get the 220 Watt FX-9590.It runs Extremly HOT.It is the same thing as the 125 watt FX-8350 with just higher core clock and + $110 price tag. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1633762 Don't get the Black Corsair 500R like I did.Every little spec of dust shows up on it.And it will look Horrible within a couple months.I've had mine for almost a year now and I still LOVE it other than the Black color.I may rip it apart and Paint it Red? or Orange? or something Bright.Oh and I changed out all of the WHITE LEDs in All of the fans and Power LED and HDD LED.Those damn white LEDs are BRIGHTER than the SUN.lol Make sure that IF you get the H100i that you dont get the Older H100 by mistake.It works good but Ive had to RMA mine twice before I got 1 that worked correctly.They shipped a batch out with a BAD 2nd fan controller.So 1 set of fans would run at 100% and the other 2 would not run at all.Not cool when your running 4 fans off of it and only 1/2 of them work. Sucks you cant build a "High End" Intel i7 PC for under $2500-$2700.Without cheaping out on the video card.Thats Alot of Scratch for something that may need replaced or upgraded 5 years. Janey could really use a decent PC for COD4.
