    The Validated Eyefinity Dongles List

    Seconded. I'm using the same Sapphire DP->VGA dongle and it works without a hitch at 1600x1200x3.

    New SFF gamers case: presentation and advices

    Is anyone else having problems getting the front panel audio to work? I get faint static plugging headphones into the pink port, and absolutely nothing from the green port. I really don't know how to determine if the issue is related to the motherboard (Gigabyte P55M-UD4) or the front panel...

    Passive Displayport to single-link DVI adapter enough for EyeFinity?

    DP-VGA is way cheaper than DP-DVI. I'm really not sure if they're active or not, but a ton of people (myself included) have had success running the 3rd monitor in eyefinity using DP-VGA with adapters in the $20-$30 range. I'm running 3 monitors at 1600x1200 each fwiw and I believe people have...

    MSI - Metro 2033 - GTX 460 Giveaway!

    Don't ride the metro because the bomb goes off if the speed drops below 50mph.

    Activating a 2nd Display

    You shouldn't just click on the monitor at the bottom, click on the black triangle in the upper right of the monitor's icon. That should give you options, and it sounds like Extend is exactly what you want to do.

    Passive DisplayPort -> DVI-D Adapters for Eyefinity

    I personally use the Sapphire DP->VGA adapter for my 3rd screen at 1600x1200. No issues with the adapter whatsoever, worked without a hitch.

    good displayport to vga adapter?

    I got the same one by Sapphire and have been running eyefinity at 3x1, 1600x1200 on each, without a problem.

    A Farewell to Bing Cashback

    Huh? Yeah their decision is all about whether the profit margin for bing was worthwhile or not but for consumers prices certainly weren't higher if you got to a site from bing than if you went directly to the site.

    Corsair H50 CPU Cooler Preview.

    Crappy Corsair paste?? Isn't the Shin-Etsu compound that the H50 ships with generally considered as one of the best thermal compounds out there?

    The little H50 that could

    That thread has a graphic right near the top about which screws to get (6-32 x 1 1/4). 6x32 describes the width and threadcount I believe, and they're 1 and a quarter inch long. They're sold in most hardware stores or home depot/lowes. Print this out and take one of the screws with you as well...

    New SFF gamers case: presentation and advices

    They must have - it didn't ship with countersunk screws. I couldn't find any countersunk screws with the same threads and size at hardware stores and home depot in my area either. Would anyone care to mention where they found them?

    New SFF gamers case: presentation and advices

    Yes - either the drive or the drive and bracket together, whichever is easier. Another idea, if the drive and bracket could just swing upward to gain access to the cage below, that'd work for me. Is it possible to make a smaller drive cage for current owners to buy? I'm using just 1 2.5"...

    5870 dual monitor flickering WITHOUT OC

    Try using a tool that can track the speeds (I like MSI Afterburner). 2 of the graphs should be clock speed and memory speed. The graphs will tell you whether it's switching around alot or if you're at your 2D speed the whole time. If you're at the lower speeds the whole time and it still...

    Powercolor PCS++ v Sapphire Vapor-X

    Overclocking can really even out those speeds though, so if the Vapor-X has better cooling then you're better off OC'ing it to the same levels as the PCS++ and setting the fan to a lower speed. OC'ing these cards is really a piece of cake...
