    Well in my case it was the K60 corsair keyboard. The keys fade within weeks. I have RMA'd it 2 times and it just fades each time because I don't think the UK stock have been fixed as far as I can tell. I have had the keyboard replaced twice now and it just fades each time. I'm fed up with this...

    i7 memory setup

    Hi, i have just put together my i7 system, but i think getting 3gb wasnt enougth for GTA iv. I have OCZ PC3-10666, 1333Mhz Intel XMP Triple Channel (3x1Gb Kit) Should i buy another set to give me 6gb or should i buy a whole new 6gb kit. Does having it in 3 x 2 benefit over 6 x 1?

    I have bought a cheap 3800+ x2 but i wish to do a simple overclock without making the memory unstable. I have figured out that if i put in an fsb like 334 with a mulitplier of 7.5, this would give me my overclock to 2500 and keep the memory at the default speed of 200mhz. Would such a high fsb...
