    My new Parvum Systems S1.0 Acrylic Case

    I fall in love with this case the more I see people with it! Looks awesome with the two switches. Does Parvum include the switches, or do you purchase those yourself? How are you planning on mounting the slot-loading drive?

    Going nuts...(stuttering)

    This is a long shot, but: At the basement LAN's I frequent, one of the games we play is FEAR: Combat, and I've noticed over the years some framerate issues among as many as half the people there relating to "HID-Compliant Device" in the device manager under human interface device. Systems...

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    My desk setup :) Pretty terrible compared to some of the setups in this thread. That's an Auria 27" 2560x1440 IPS panel next to an eight-year-old Dell 15" LCD. The only reason the Dell is hooked up is to be able to access the BIOS, since the Auria won't display an image till the desktop.

    Auria EQ276W review ($399 27" 2560x1440 IPS)

    Before I had the proper cable, I was limited to 1080p, and I noticed the monitor looked pretty damn good at that resolution, so why not just turn it down? (I was using the mobo output, and was limited to HDMI)

    Auria EQ276W review ($399 27" 2560x1440 IPS)

    Would like to add that I am an owner of this monitor and so far I LOVE it! I'm going on approximately a month now. The colors, pixel density, and viewing angles are phenomenal. Best $400 I ever spent on a computer part. I do notice a slight degree of input lag, but so far it hasn't thrown off...

    BluRay backup/Handbrake issues

    I went ahead and downloaded the latest "nightly build," and despite crashing the first time opening, I was able to encode my copy of Dark Knight Rises at nearly 100fps. The output is just under 9 gb, full 1080p, DTS Passthru audio, and looks phenomenal. Maybe it was just a weird fluke, but I'm...

    BluRay backup/Handbrake issues

    Anyone having problems with the newest version of Handbrake? (0.9.8) I'm trying to back up my BluRays to an MKV file format, and encoding was stopping maybe 2% in. I went back to an older version (0.9.5) and it seems to be encoding properly, but it is going extremely slow. I remember my...

    my i5 3570K oc like crap + other related questions

    I was able to achieve 4.5ghz on my 3570k @1.295v (cpu-z and Asus AI suite both show 1.296v), and I am more than happy. Sure, some chips can hit higher on less voltage, but I have no need. Using a Maximus V Gene motherboard, and a Hyper 212 Evo HSF.

    6870 Audio and Dolby

    If I am correct, I don't believe graphics cards do any audio processing at all. Usually they pass through from the onboard soundcard, or whatever device you are using. I don't think you would get any sort of surround sound via the monitors headphone jack, because the monitor would only be...

    Who remembers these?

    I can't even remember what video card was in my first machine. 1) Pentium 166mhz, 96mb of system RAM. Used for playing Duke3D Co-Op with my Dad over serial cable haha. Windows 3.1, then 95, then 98. I even tried installing XP on this beast later on, but took about three hours to install. 2)...

    Disappointed with 3dmark, games, etc on new rig

    The latest drivers (285.62) as well as the latest beta drivers (285.79) have given me nothing but headaches in everything but Battlefield 3. I was getting artifacting in both Bluray movie playback as well as World of Warcraft, and constant driver crashes when playing WoW, yet my BF3 game-play...

    First Overclock - i5 2500k

    No problem. I, unfortunately haven't tried the offset feature yet. I'm running a straight 1.320v across the board. If I have a day to play around with it, I might get into it. That link helped me understand it too. Just remember, stability at idle might become an issue, which would require...

    First Overclock - i5 2500k

    If you have the voltage set to "Offset," it will scale by itself with the multiplier. This allows it to throttle down the vcore when the CPU returns to the idle 1.6ghz. You Screenshot shows this, idle vCore of 1.05v. Using offset lowers power consumption at idle, but it can be much more time...

    2500k. Stable 4.4ghz@1.315, lots of questions :)

    I'm rather new to overclocking, so please bear with me. I'm running a 2500k on an ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z motherboard, using a Hyper 212+ HSF. I replaced the fan on the 212+ with an Akasa Viper PWM fan that moves 83.63 CFM at it's max 1900rpm. 2.98 mm H2O max static pressure. Arctic Silver...

    Which itx mobo will support ivy bridge?

    Ok, OK! We'll settle on... "different." Deal? None of the chipsets are lower than the other, just each offers a different set of features, different price points, and caters to a different market. I stand corrected!
