    looooow temps on 2600k

    I'm concerned that there is something wrong with my processor. I expected lower temps than my 930, but 8 C? My cooling setup is the one in my sig: 480mm of RX radiator. Ambient temp is about 70 F. My core temps looks like: 20,8,23,25 C I've noticed that others have a similar problem...

    Crysis 2 Crossfire

    I'm using 11.4 preview drivers and it looks like every other frame has lighting effects, so the result is this really annoying flashing. I turned crossfire off, and it went away.

    Replacing HX850 fan

    OP would probably be wise to heed advice in this thread. We can all agree that an open power supply should be approached cautiously, and that there is the potential to do serious damage. Wish Redbeard were here. Or Jonny Guru?

    Upgrading time for the 4870x2?

    I bought a 4870x2 when it first came out for $400.00. Today we know that it has proven to be an epic card. Like many others I just upgraded. I have 6970XF now. A single 6970 is definitely an upgrade over the 4870x2. The 6970 is better in every way. But not by a huge amount. At least...

    My HDTV wont do 1920x1080 @ 120hz?

    Yeah, 3DTVs won't accept 120hz either. Basically with HDMI 1.4a the tv accepts frames at 1920x2160 @ 24hz or 720x960 @ 60hz (or something like that). Recieving essentially two frames at once allows the tv a sort of fake doubling of the poll rate. So it's only possible at 24hz for 1080p, and...

    My HDTV wont do 1920x1080 @ 120hz?

    Easy answer. The TV will only relieve up to 60Hz. The TV always outputs 120Hz, regardless of the source. The motion smoothing option simply takes frame 1 and frame 2 and creates a new frame frame 1.5. This adds a small amount of lag. (simplification) What you're probably seeing now, if you're...

    Which 6790 brand

    Look at the included accessories in the box. Some come with more, some with less. The ASUS overvoltage program works well on the Fermi cards, but doesn't achieve anything on the 6970 cards, Reviews are online. Otherwise, it comes down to warranty.

    Release date for 6990?

    A concern I have about the 6990 is that it will require too much power to equal a 6970x2. 6990 as a name could be inidictive of this. The problem as I see it is the TDP of the card. In the case of the 4870x2 the TDP for each individual 4870 was 160 watts. When you combine the two the...

    ASUS EAH6970 issue with maximum resolution on 30"

    It's worth mentioning that the HDMI port and the display ports should be able to handle dual link just fine, so you can always use an adapter.

    Think my 4870x2 is dying.

    Yeah, sounds like the end is near. Honestly, I think the whole ATX design needs reassessment. . I can't imagine that when it was originaly conceived people thought heatsinks on video cards would get this heavy and important.

    Upgrading time for the 4870x2?

    I bought my 4870x2 when it first came out a little over 2 years ago for about 400.00. Thus far, it has been the best video card I have ever owned. Performance, when CF is working, is excellent. That's the only real bad thing I could say about it, is that the CF system didn't work as...

    XSPC Dual bay res PSA

    The new dual bay res by XSPC (http://www.xspc.biz/d5bayres.php) fits in my Corsair 800D without modification of any sort. No filing, no bending. I believe that was a problem with their previous dual bays. No longer. This one fits a Laing D5, like the discontinued Primochill Typhoon III...

    help! (w/4870x2)

    Yeah, I guess you're right about remounting it. I really don't want to do that, but, I don't see any other option. What a pain. At least if I can't get it to work I can try claiming it on insurance from the move. Those things are expensive.
