Bogged down on cash? Need some new games to play? Here are some games that are completely free and have no microtransactions. Most of them tend to be titles that were relased 5-6 years ago and 2 or 3 of them do have an IP blocker (usually US only).
I review the Zalman CNPS10X Performa and I can conclude that this is actually a pretty cheap heatsink and gives great performance. For $36.99 you can't go wrong ^^
I am looking for players who want to come try Vindictus on Oct 15 (the beta release date).
Vindictus is a combat MMORPG that involves destructible environments and using anything you can find as a weapon (from ceramic plates to the corpse of your enemy). Hack and slash strategy will just leave you dead. This game requires you to think as many enemies have different forms of counter attacks and triggered movements to your skills (in a way you have to counter their counter attack and use the environment to your advantage).
If you are interested contact my xfire: Demonspike
System Requirements:
This is the only game other than those created by Valve corp to run on a modified Source engine. The graphics are very polished and system requirements are not as demanding thanks to this 3d engine.
CPU: Duo Core or higher RAM: 1 GB Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 7xxx series or equivalent Operating System: Windows XP or higher Hard Drive: 6 Gigabytes or more Network: Broadband Recommended
Alright so I did some updates and replaced the noisy heatsink with a quiet Coolit Eco and the 140 mm Antec fan with a Xigmatek 140 mm White Led fan (pretty sexy stuff).
The only sad thing is the cooling performance of the Coolit Eco water cooling system is the same as the Zalman PerformaX. So remember kids, don't buy shit all in one water cooling systems if you are trying to get uber low temps. Build yourself a real damn water cooling system !
I have sold both my HD 5770's and replaced it with a HD 5870 video card (it barely fits in my Antec 300 case =P). In the end it still costed me some $$$$ but it was well worth it. Although 2 x HD 5770's are theoretically a bit more powerful than a HD 5870, the problem is that in some games the crossfire setup between the cards would cause "Jumping FPS". Meaning one second you be running at 70 fps and then the next 20 fps. I am not sure why it happens but it does for particular games. Also by having one card instead of two, i have completely reduced the noise and the power consumption. Also the heat seems to no longer be an issue (its weird how running in crossfire would give a 8-10 C jump in temps).
