:( This is making me think of cancelling my order and going with the 34UM95 instead...

Great to hear :) To be honest I've been out of the loop with monitors... My 3007wfp definitely had some issues, so I guess it's not all bad that I have to replace it; it's just that unexpected expenses always sting a little :p

Coming back from a LAN party this weekend and the monitor must have taken a hit to the front at some point. Turning it on I could see the spot where it got wacked, and the picture was barely displaying anything. Ah well, it lasted me almost 9 full years; I had bought it right when were released...

I was refreshing neweggs site every minute or two with a 'GTX 780' search and managed to snag 2 of the ACX cards.. They were out of stock no more than 10-15 minutes later. So yeah, they sold out VERY fast.

Guru3d's review of the ACX painted a much different picture. Glad I got two of them before they vanished off the egg.

680 SLi to 780 SLi here -- I got the EVGA ACX cards. Based on the review I saw on Guru3d the ACX cooling is actually very good and can't wait to get them and OC a bit :) I never OC'ed my 680's, so this should be quite a step up once I've dialed the 780's in.

Got 2x EVGA ACX Cooling cards @ the egg... Very surprised it was only $10 more than retail per card! ($659)

I'm using SLi GTX 680 and I'm not seeing this issue.. Did you do a clean install (through the nVidia installer)? Try going into your 'Manage 3D Settings' and resetting to default, hit apply, then reconfigure from there.. Also if you haven't rebooted, try that first.

You say this as if it's something no one does. This is EXACTLY what live stream gaming is. More cores is absolutely huge for live streaming your gaming sessions. Go to twitch.tv sometime and check it out if you haven't. Live streaming is quickly growing in popularity as another form of...

I got a new headset not long ago (Sennheiser PC360 G4ME)... A great headset. However, for some reason the microphone volume is very low.. I have to crank up the gain all the way to +30% dB boost to have decent levels, but then you get a slight hiss from the gain. I have tried on both my Creative...

Thanks a lot man.. Ended up getting the reps contact info and got two for 319/ea :)

Hey guys I need to get a couple monitors for work and am eyeing these 3.. Unfortunately, 2x U2412M's might break our budget (at $400/ea).. So I was looking at the smaller (lower resolution) screens.. The U2212HM and U2312HM.. Are there any major differences in these screens other than them...

Been looking into getting a new mousepad to replace my worn out Func Archetype. I see some people say great things about the Artisan mousepads from Japan.. The three in particular I've been eyeing are: HAYATE SHIDEN SHIDEN-KAI Anyone have any of these? If so what are your thoughts?

I've owned a Ratpad.. They're okay, but to me not nearly as nice as my Func.

That's really a shame :( I guess I need to just look elsewhere, probably SteelSeries... I was looking at the S&S and SX.. Both of which are hard pads (one aluminum, one plastic) and both seem low friction which I'm after..
