Your card isn't going to melt. The other guy's card was already broken and had been "fixed" by the owner. The CCC that manages your settings for your card will also automatically speed up your fan as the card heats up and if the card keeps heating past the safe limit, it will down clock your card to prevent damage

AMD may be the underdog in the CPU market, but not the GPU market, unless you're talking about Titan.

I also use a 7970 vapor-X ghz ed. don't worry about the game performance dude. A 6870 is more comparable to a GTX 560 or 650Ti, where our 7970 GHz editions are (not counting the ridiculously priced dual gpu on one pcb options or titan) at the top of the ladder. You're not going to find a game that won't run well on…

Don't PhysX calculations get performed by the CPU in systems with AMD cards? Since they don't have whatever it is that Nvidia puts into their cards since they own PhysX. Also a 660Ti and a 6870 aren't really comparable cards. A 660Ti is more like a 7950, so of course the 660Ti will perform better.

Right,the symbol for Yuan (元) is what would be on price tags, but if I wanted to exchange USD here in the US or elsewhere, for RMB, I would find the ¥ since it's the currency sign. I would expect that it is also what you would see in a bank.

Unless you either use the extra rinse cycle (I hate the feeling of leftover detergent on my clothes) or use HE detergent, since it's less prone to sudsing

Yeah, although way back when (90s) before everyone had a single serving detergent in dissolving plastic, I was serving on submarines, and we had these back then. The detergent in them was crap- generic navy issue powder detergent, but it was in these dissolvable plastic mini bags, so there was no need to try and…

+1 internets for you, good sir

I would be afraid to go to a supermarket in a lamborghini in the first place. Shopping carts, keys of angry people, maybe some unknown stuff on the asphalt (I've been to people of walmart!)

You are applying your own ideals and knowledge to use as a measuring stick for someone from a completely different culture. Think about that for a minute.

Yen is the Japanese currency. The Chinese use Renminbi (RMB) The basic unit of RMB is the Yuan (¥), which would be like the Dollar. They use a decimal system, from least to greatest is Fen, Jiao, Yuan, 10 of one to make one of the next higher denomination

Are we sure it was in USD? ¥9437 is about $1500, which is much closer to the unsubsidised cost of a smartphone. Still double, but not the cost of a small pre owned car

It's 2 GTX 580s in SLI and an FX 8350 processor. Not uber powerful, but nonetheless a very capable machine. He's also running 3 Samsung 830s in Raid 0, which probably doesn't affect his gaming performance much, although load times are probably close to nil. I put Crysis 3 on my 840 Pro and load times for levels are…

If you've got decent manual dexterity, you can peel an orange without cutting it or dripping any juice anywhere. I've done this since I was a kid. Roll it in between your hands a bit to seperate the peel from the edible part, then you kind of push with a digit into a part of the peel (doesn't really matter what part,…

While that sounds like it's fairly quick, it's nicer to not have to remove the fog in the first place, and I personally don't have or use a hair dryer. I have very long curly hair and I believe a dryer would just make me look like a poodle or something

I was amazed that this hadn't been mentioned yet. I got told about it before I was old enough to shave

How much do non-instant ramen noodles cost? I can't find them anywhere except at ramen restaurants

Carbs generally taste good, people like to eat things that taste good

Do want!

I think I get what you're saying, and that sort of plan works out well if your intent is to have a decent quality gaming experience for a long time. I can't say I follow that myself, as I am in that enthusiast category, but I understand other people don't like to continually upgrade parts.
