    Crossover 270q S-IPS panel defect?

    I just received my Crossover but I have noticed short flickering lines on the display. They appear green and are horizontal, they get worse around the windows start menu and Steam window. I have a gtx 670 and the problem has only appeared on the crossover. I am guessing it may be the D-DVI...

    Stay classy Nvidia! Viral marketing discovered at chiphell, Kepler rumors debunked

    It says up to, so I would assume that it only improves performance in some areas, not the the overall performance. I am not being an AMD fanboy here, I don't see the point in doing so but I do have to say that this is in no way comparable.

    Very strange headphone problem.

    Phase? I asked a friend, he listened to the problem he said it wouldn't be that. Something to do with cancellation right? What exactly would the problems be if the phase was wrong?

    Very strange headphone problem.

    I have been using a pair of dirt cheap headphones until I can get the Corsair 1500's in a month or so and just recently I have been having some weird problems. Things like "echoey" sound, very quite sound or no sound at all. However, when the headphone is jiggled or turned in the jack I can very...

    Small confusion about RAM speeds.

    Okay, I asked the friend who helped me build the computer about overclocking, he said he got the RAM so I could have the extra speed for when I do overlock the CPU. Thanks for help, just wanted to make sure I wasn't wasting any money!

    i7 2600k intergrated graphics...

    Okay, so in the BIOS there is a setting related to the frame buffer size. It was at 64mb and could be upped to 480mb, Speccy now detects that i have 512mb of dedicated memory not 64mb. Batman does not crash and I can play all games fine. Thanks for pointing me towards the BIOS djgizmo!

    Small confusion about RAM speeds.

    For my new machine I purchased an 8Gb kit of DDR3 G.Skill RAM at 2133MHz. When I check the speeds in the BIOS however it says it is at 1600MHz. Why is this happening?

    Small confusion about RAM speeds.

    For my new machine I used an 8Gb kit of DDR3 G.Skill Ripjaws at 2133Mhz. When I look at the speed of the RAM in the BIOS however it says the speeds are at 1600Mhz. Is something wrong? What should I do?

    i7 2600k intergrated graphics...

    Wow, looks like I could up the core clock speed from the 500Mhz to something a bit higher ... But since I have not overclocked before, I feel as if it could go terribly wrong. If it did go wrong, it would not only wreck my CPU but my MB as well. What would should I do? Okay, I have looked and...

    i7 2600k intergrated graphics...

    I have 8Gbs of RAM, so could I assign more? It looks like it is dynamic, the maximum is 1.7Gb and the minimum is 64 mb, so increase the minimum? Thanks heaps, this is what I was looking for And also Speccy says the CPU temps are at 50 when I do something stressful.

    i7 2600k intergrated graphics...

    Hey, I have been building my dream computer and I have everything except the GPU (crazy right?!) As a placeholder I have been using the CPU's integrated graphics which is an Intel Family HD Graphics 3000. So anyway, not surprisingly it isn't the best for gaming, not just performance wise but...
