    Can someone help me explain this strange overclocking behaviour?...(i5-750)

    Hey all, Hope someone can help me with these characteristics but I am baffled. Have been running my i5 750 with the specs in my sig at 4ghz (20x200) with 20 runs Linx stable (with the newest linpack) and a couple hours of prime. This is normally good enough for me as I do not do anything...

    Alternative to ASUS Xonar Essence?

    So because of WC + Crossfire, I have to get rid of my Xonar Essence STX (no available PCI-e slots). I'm planning to get an Essence ST to replace it, but was wondering if there are any alternatives. Pretty much the only consideration (in addition to being PCI) is that I must be able to plug...

    NB block for P67-UD4?

    There's no full mobo block available for this board, but could someone point me in the direction of a chipset block for just the northbridge? Would a generic gigabyte one work? Cheers/

    How should I arrange 5.1 in this room (w/ room plan)?

    Student bedroom with desks in an L-shaped arrangement like below. TV on one desk which I use to watch films (often sitting on bed) + play racing games, monitor on the second desk that I use to game. Ideally I'd like one 5.1 speaker arrangement to cover both needs (don't want to run two 2.0/2.1...

    Single Xonar soundcard - speakers and headset...how to make it work?

    All I need to drive using my computer is a gaming headset (games), and a set of 2.1 speakers (films). Both run off a 3.5mm connector. What's the best way of making this work? I've thought of using a splitter, but not sure how this would affect the sound quality. Also thought of using some kind...

    5870 Rog Matrix, HDMI output no image?

    Yup tried reseating, different pci-e slot, and reinstalling drivers with a clean sweep. I may try contacting ASUS in that case if I can't sort it out. Desperate to hold onto this beauty and don't want to return it to seller :).

    5870 Rog Matrix, HDMI output no image?

    Used. Advertised as a card 'used only for testing' but probably used in a system from the amount of dust. Seller is a nice guy, I had problems getting hold of the card from address issues but he was in constant communication throughout so pretty sure he's not a scammer. Want to make sure...

    5870 Rog Matrix, HDMI output no image?

    After a bit of an epic struggle (long story) finally got hold of an ASUS ROG Matrix Platinum 5870 that I got off eBay for a good price. Now I've run straight into a problem - the HDMI port doesn't output an image. Plugging something into the port, CCC and Windows both detect a second...

    0crash - stripy texture on monitor (pics), game still running

    This happens sometimes whilst gaming. Hawk 5770, stock settings atm, load temps are 60 under stress but 50-55 whilst gaming. Not sure if it's a monitor problem, gpu failure, or a driver issue.
