Random question.. should one leave their PC's running all the time or turn them off when you get done using them? Someone told me to just leave mine on and turn the screen off but idk >.>
it doesn't matter, personally I turn mines off if I know I won't be using it for more than 3 hours.


There used to be truth to the whole to keeping it on all the time actually extends the lifespan of the HDD, and PSU, buts that's no longer the case. The only way to damage your computer from turning it on and off is if you keep doing it back and forth over and over.

I use to turn my computers on and off all the time.

I don't notice any difference to be honest as long as you shut the monitor off.

I'm not saying that's what you should do, I'm just saying what I've noticed.

only time it makes any difference to leave your PC on 24/7 is if it's being used as a server or some other major component of a network.


or if you'rte bazaaring in FFXI :D

otherwise just put it into hibernation or turn it off if you don't want to pay for electricity that you aren't actually using

That was what I said when I built mine. Got a fat tax return after I bought my house(first time home buyer etc) and I built mine. Still not nearly as insane as that though.

i7-960
12gb mushkin ram
x58 sabertooth
gtx 590

More than capable of my needs xD

Edit: Oh and my 80gb ssd boot and 1tb slave drive

only 80 cause the prices on them were stupid high back then

I keep wanting to upgrade my CPU even though I don't have to :| 2500k -> 3930X would be such an inefficient expenditure. also have increasing temptation to grab a titan or two, but gl with that within the next half a year, waiting lists are already supposedly long

honestly don't really see CPU upgrades being worth it for a while yet. generational leaps in CPU power have been pretty small and intel really doesn't have enough competition to bother with anything extravagant. sad ):

Just want to state that Titan is not suitable with gaming, it's main purpose for the GPGPU compute. Wait for the Geforce line of GK110, as these are Nvidia Telsa C2075 cards that didn't meet the specification requirements, with heat & power draw.

So unless you're building a dedicated folding system, a CUDA or OpenCL programmer that needs that fully unlocked double precision floating point performance, who happens to also play video games, don't waste your money.

I didn't say it wasn't, but it's not really worth the money unless you're a collector or the things I described.


Wait for the Geforce versions, without the GPGPU optimazations, and probably lower video memory for about the same performance.

Oh yeah, but typically those cards at that range aren't. they're purely about epeen.

Well yeah I wouldn't want them for raw performance as much as epeen, as that's all the Titan's really for. It's still phenomenal performance for a single GPU solution, but for less than half the price SLI 660ti matches or exceeds it. Right now I already have more than enough graphical power in terms of cost:performance with dual 670s, in the realm of already being several hundred dollars above the safe mark for efficient money expenditure, but dual 670s aren't nearly as cool ):

if I wanted more performance for little extra cost I'd probably try to get my hands on an ARES

Yeah they're stupid expensive...like you can build a whole rig for that price expensive.
