    A genuine [H]ard question(to answer) on new monitor inputs.

    The burning question as it stands. Where are our monitor inputs? You have us salivate and drool over new monitors coming(32" + 120Hz+ 4k and etc etc). We are ready to drop the $1k+, we've waited forever. And bam you give us all 1 HDMI and 1 Display Port? I mean seriously WTF manufacturers? Is it...

    Whats the hold up with a fresh batch of high end monitors?

    Just wondering this segment seems to have stalled out or gone stale at the moment. How many Gsync enabled monitors of 28"-32" are out? 10? Less than 10? I've had money in hand to grab one for a long time, but am I the only one who feels disappointed in whats out right now? Ive seen a few good...

    Question on DC connector size on mini itx mobo

    In regards to the ASRock AM1H-ITX it allows either standard ATX or DC connection for power. Im curious what size that DC input accepts. I cannot find it listed anywhere. I would believe it takes a standard laptop power brick adapter sized connector of 5mm/2.5mm ? Thanks.

    Next stepping of Intel cpu's

    Based on previous Intel track records, how long would one expect to see the next stepping of say a 4770k? I'm just curious and wondering if it might be worth the wait to see if these get into the wild and improve upon thermals or any other area.

    Smallest case to fit a Corsair H100i

    I've been mulling over going mATX and really liking the Fractal Design Arc Mini. It has room for the radiator and plenty of areas to route cabling. But is there anything just a bit smaller height wise? Personally, I'd rather go wider and not as tall. Dont really care for the Lian Li cases that...

    Boards newer than Z68 for Ivy Bridge(1155)?

    If a newer iteration board comes between now and when I.B. drops, what possible features could it have on it versus what is out on Z68 now? I know SSD caching, USB 3.0 Sata 6g etc etc is out as we speak. Is there something new that comes with I.B. not in chipsets now?

    A question about the 2gb of ram on the new 69XX cards

    Do you think that games later in the coming year and beyond will start to take advantage of the extra ram in coming DX11 games? The reason I ask, will having that extra bit of ram vs a 1.5gb counterpart really matter that much? A bit of future proofing if you will. It seemed to me that...
