On my secondary HTPC that I've set up, I'm using an old MSI 5850 Twin Frozr I had laying around until the next NVIDIA cards drop, and I'm having an issue. Basically, the fan will only work if controlled manually. If controlled automatically, it just sits at 55%. This is on a fresh install of...

Seems like my videocard and monitor issues persist. When I wake my computer from sleep, for example, I have to unplug and replug my monitor. This feels like more of a mess than my dying setup from 2009. I wish it just consistently worked. :p I'd consider updating my videocard's BIOS but I see...

Tried it. I restarted Windows once more and I'm at 16Gb. Hopefully it will stick. Doesn't seem like the DisplayPort issue is still happening either. But we'll see. I just unplugged, replugged, wiggled some things around. Etc. Certainly doesn't feel like I did anything...but it's working for...

Here are the big issues I'm having at the moment, ranking from the most important to the least. 1) Monitor doesn't reliably turn on during boot. As if my Acer XB270HU won't handshake with my 980 Ti. Sometimes if I unplug and replug the Display Port after the PC booted, it will work, but...

I will be on X99, not Skylake. Skylake seemed like a better short term option and X99 seemed like a better long term option to me. All signs are pointing to DX12 benefiting hugely from multi-threading, so X99 seems like a no-brainer. Ironic because I held out on my X58 for Skylake. Oh well ;)

Going by the charts you linked, looks like I'm missing out on 0.1 average FPS or something. I'd feel pretty silly spending $16 extra for that. :p Thanks

I had my eyes on that board too but since it was sold out I didn't bother. No patience for the waiting game. I can't imagine regretting the purchase because in the end it's roughly the same end result anyways. With my PC purchases I'm usually pretty thorough with my research (never ordering...

The 2800 has a default voltage of 1.2 and the 3000 is at 1.35. So yea - pretty much. I'm sure the 3000 would be a hair faster once both put to the limits but I'd be surprised if I could measure the difference in any benchmarks.

This is probably a silly thread. So I ordered this RAM (Ripjaw 4 DDR4 2800) and I instantly regret not ordering this slightly better RAM (Ripjaw 4 DDR 3000) because I could probably have afforded to spend the extra money and it would've been nice to take advantage of the extra speed the DDR4 has...

Thanks for the clarification. Do you think it's worth paying the extra for the Pro for the Wi-fi or do you think this could be better accomplished by a third party peripheral for cheaper? The X99-A is $90 cheaper...so unless the Pro has other things that make it a good value, I'm wagering I...

My GA-X58A-UD3R is about to die (difficult to boot these days). So I need new CPU+RAM+MOBO. I've decided on the 5820k because I want 6-cores to take advantage of in future multi-threaded DX12 titles (Skylake's 33% less cores steered me away) and it overclocks better than the 5930k. I have a...

Thanks for the mkv rip suggestion - it's a great idea. One issue so far though - I ripped the first episode and selected the DTS-HD MA track in MakeMKV and according to VLC's media info tool it says only DTS was ripped. Any idea how I can get DTS-HD MA bitstreamed to my receiver with MakeMKV...

Hey guys, I'm getting a little frustrated over a problem I'm having. I'm trying to play the The Wire: Remastered blu-ray on my PC and my Onkyo TX-SR607 isn't detecting the 5.1 DTS-HD audio track. I'm using PowerDVD 14 software, but tried updating to 15 and the problem persists. I've played many...

So I've been experiencing issues with my pump and I've come to find out that Swiftech might have the worst customer service I've experienced. I opened up my RMA with them well over a month ago and they've neglected to actually ship me my replacement after all this time. I'll contact them, and...

I changed my PSU during the ownership of my 1st GTX 980 Ti, went from a 1000W EVGA G2 to a PS model, coil whine was identical across both PSU's. If it sounds like it's coming from the card...it's probably the card, given the amount of reviews indicating such.
