ivor Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Why do so many of you use rigs with 12 or 16 gb of ram? In my experience, even when video editing and other intensive things, anything higher than 8 GB is just a waste of money. I find it useful personally because I tend to leave TF2 running while I've got other stuff open (Chrome, Adobe Premiere, GTASA). If you hunt around for it, you can get it for pretty cheap - when I got my RAM, they were selling sets of 8GB DDR3-1600 for 24.99 each. Anyhow, mine: Case: BitFenix Merc Beta Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 Video: Gigabyte NVidia GTX 550 Ti CPU: AMD Phenom II Tri-Core 2.8GHz PSU: Shitty Chinese brand I can't remember, 500W HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB (dog shit in a metal box) Peripherals: Logitech G13, 2x Acer monitors that I can't be bothered to measure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Amazon everyone has the same problem. On first boot (of anything) the bios corrupts. Have to get a new bios chip via mexi-mail. -.-" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex From Security Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Is you ok No. My motherboard was shipped faulty and fucking broken (bios). This board is almost 2 years old and every board has the same problems. I tried everything, even booting into DOS to flash a new BIOS. But my board can not boot anything. It recognizes the hardware, but cant boot. I have to wait 10 days for a new bios chip. If that doesnt work, I need to disasemble my whole machine, take out the board, get a new one, rebuild it and finally get it working. Not ok.
