    worth upgrading to from 7 to 8.1?

    You're not missing much. I've been using Windows 7 since 2010, until recently when I built my new rig with Windows 8.1 The differences are annoying (charm bar, apps UI) and I spent most of my time after getting up and running configuring it to look/feel like Windows 7. I'm not using a touch...

    Help a newb OC, high temps at 4.2ghz

    Thanks for all of your help. I changed the voltage settings to manual last night and everything was much better. I'm at 4.2 @ 1.125v right now. Low 80's was the max during IBT tests. I successfully went to 4.4 @ 1.25v but temps were mid-90's during IBT. I think I'm still going to re-seat...

    Please recommend me a nice ~24" monitor <$300

    Chiming in because I'm also in a similar boat. Whats the difference (other than price) between the P2414 and U2414? The inputs? I see the U has HDMI and P doesn't... Also, the P2314H is really cheap at around ~$170, and may be able to swing 2 of them. Are all of these the same panel type?
