    is my i5 2500 bottlenecking cfx 6970s in bf3

    Can I overclock the 2500 (not unlocked) at all? Or enough to tell the difference? With the included cooler/heatink? (Sorry I'm an overclocking noob, thus why I didnt even get the 2500k).

    is my i5 2500 bottlenecking cfx 6970s in bf3

    I am having issues on higher settings (anything over medium with any aa) playing bf3 on an eyefinity setup (5760x1200). In trying to pinpoint my bottleneck, I ran into some contradicting information. But first my setup: GPU: 2x AMD Radeon 6970 2GB CPU: Core i5 2500 (stock cooler, no OC) MB...

    Toshiba Satellite L755-SS255: A good buy?

    I am going to buy a new (personal) laptop and I'm looking for suggestions. I have been using a Dell Latitude D630 and it broke a few times, so I'm done with them. Also, it had 2GB of ram which doesn't cut it anymore (especially if I'm running Eclipse). For the new computer, I will use it at...

    Eyefinity Build

    I haven't bought a Mobo yet but both the MSI P67A-GD55 and the Asus P8P67 Pro (which I'm leaning towards due to upgradability) are listed on the combatability page.

    Eyefinity Build

    Quick question: You recommended the 8GB gskill set for $80. I have a 15% off memory coupon and is there any reason I shouldn't snatch this $70 (2x4GB) set that looks nicer and is DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231416 The only difference I could...

    Eyefinity Build

    Thanks so much everyone who contributed so far. @tonytnnt I really like the second (cheaper) build you gave, and yes I am close enough to Cambridge to go to Microcenter. So does anyone else have comments on this build: $300 for Intel 2500k + MSI P67A-GD55 (Microcenter, price doesn't include...

    Eyefinity Build

    My (perhaps incorrect) impression of the P67 chipset was that it did not offer much more to a gamer than the X58 chipset, especially considering the onboard graphics is not very useful when you have 2 graphics cards. I am also having some trouble finding a motherboard for LGA 1155 in the same...

    Eyefinity Build

    Hi guys, thanks in advance for any input. I want to build a computer for eyefinity across three (1900x1200) monitors and am wondering if it can be done with a 1.5k budget (not including monitor cost). 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Eyefinity gaming...
