    Another 24" help thread

    I purchased the T240; I find it to be a strikingly beautiful display both in image quality and in bezel design. It very well blends into chic surroundings.

    i7 proccessors: Locked or unlocked?

    Both the Core i7 920 and the Core i7 940 have their multipliers locked; only the Core i7 965 features an unlocked multiplier, albeit at a significant premium. All can be overclocked; the lesser end parts simply require tweak of BLCK in lieu of changing the multiplier which the 965 allows.

    Considering i7

    I find i7 components to be priced very well. When on sale, I purchased the i7 920 and the P6T Deluxe for $254.99 and $245.99 respectively at Newegg. Memory costs are hardly prohibitive either.

    XFX To Sell ATi Based Video Cards

    Hmm...Perhaps I should return this HIS 4870 1GB and buy one from XFX. I wonder if they'll offer step-up for ATI based designs?

    New i7 build looking for opinions

    I have the silver Thermaltake Tsunami too! (except I purchased mine a few years ago and it lacks the window) :D The memory you've opted for, I fear, is not within Intel's Core i7 memory voltage specification. You should choose DDR3 with maximum voltage of 1.65 as memory with higher voltage...

    i7 920 @ 3.5, but...

    I purchased the i7 920 with the P6T and hope to perform a slight overclock, perhaps to 3.0GHz. What settings are recommended? I have never overclocked :( Can things be left on auto, or does this danger the system?
