    Advice on a 3D monitor?

    Thanks for the suggestion. The 750d is tempting (though I am not a fan of the base). Is Samsung releasing any successors to those models? Kind of unfortunate that they're both discontinued, unless Samsung has something even better right around the corner.

    Advice on a 3D monitor?

    Hello. I've been wanting to go 3D for quite some time but I'm having difficulty finding a universally well-regarded monitor that also fits my needs. I'm looking for a monitor that is: Active 3D. Compatible with Radeon 7970. $3-500. I'm not sure about the size. I've thought about getting...

    Which monitor is better?

    What? Don't they both have the same width though (1920 pixels)? That would offer the same FOV and if anything 16:10 would offer more screen real estate vertically.

    Best AMD CPU/RAM to pair with a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3?

    I'm using 8GB G.Skill Sniper 1600 which runs @1.25v. Stuff has been rock solid since I bought it back in December.

    What do I *need* Catalyst Control Center for?

    If I have a 6950 with the 6970 shaders unlocked (MSI Twin Frozr II) should I change the power slider at all and if so, by how much?

    Issues with new phenom x4 960T

    Other than system stability, your main concern should be heat (though obviously the two are not mutually exclusive). Slowly increment the clock speed at stock voltage in your bios. I would start with 3.2-3.3GHz then move up 100MHz at a time from there. Only bump the voltage if you reach a...

    Issues with new phenom x4 960T

    Switching your power option (in control panel) from "balanced" to "high-performance" should run the cpu at its full clock speed. You can just switch back to "balanced" when you want Cool'n'Quiet to kick in, rather than disabling/re-enabling it in the BIOS.

    ViewSonic VA2702w or Planar PX2710MW?

    Hey all, I'm in the market for a 27" monitor to replace my aging 20.1" ViewSonic VX2025wm. I am on somewhat of a budget here and would not like my purchase to exceed $300. The two I have narrowed down are the ViewSonic VA2702w for $269.99 or the Planar PX2710MW which after adding the...

    Whoa, is this for real? Delivered in 5 days? That's pretty darn good! Does it look like it's the real deal (real labels and everything)? That price just seems too good to be true...

    Unlocking 4th core Phenom II X3 720

    I tried a fresh Windows install on a new SSD drive and I still get the same results! Furthermore, something I hadn't mentioned before is that when I have the extra core unlocked, I am unable to completely shut down the computer. Once I click on Shut Down, Windows will go through its usual shut...

    Unlocking 4th core Phenom II X3 720

    I have unlocked the cores using the CPU Active Core Control setting in my BIOS and by changing ACC to "Auto" "All Cores" and "Per Core" still, with no luck. The BIOS Post shows 4 cores and an X4 chip, Device Manager shows 4 cores, but Task Manager and CPU-Z only pick up 2. I think this is a...

    Unlocking 4th core Phenom II X3 720

    Since I'm going to wait on building a new setup, I figured I could try once again to unlock the 4th core in my Phenom II X3 720. My motherboard is an ASRock AOD 790GX AM2+. After I set ACC to Auto in the BIOS and restart the machine, the BIOS post screen displays my number of cores as "4"...

    720BE to Phenom II X6?

    My chip does not unlock successfully and it looks like Tiger Direct is sold out. I think for now I will hold onto this baby and maybe upgrade to a 5850 later this year. Thanks all!
