    Did I get the opposite of a golden chip?

    thanks guys I'll report back later. I had no idea. I thought auto would be the super simple way to overclock and that motherboard manufacturers would have nailed it down by now. I also thought 4.2 ghz was a really modest overclock for my chip.

    Do NF200 chip boards cause/exacerbate any form of stuttering?

    from what I read... socket 1366 has 36 lanes and 2011 will have 40.... and even with the 36 lanes 1155 is still better for Tri SLI gaming according to the benchmarks I have seen.. and even when it isn't it is by a few FPS. A couple of FPS are not worth the price premium of those "enthusiast"...

    Do NF200 chip boards cause/exacerbate any form of stuttering?

    hello I had a i7 920 on a p6t mobo with 3 GTX 580's in SLI. When I tested a game out (WoW and battlefield 3 and LFD2) everything seemed good. No stuttering at all. My question is... if I take the plunge to get a sandy bridge socket 2700k processor and motherboard.. maybe the asus...

    no signal sent to monitor after cpu upgrade

    yes... I have 3 GTX 580's that were working..... I tried each of them . I am thinking it is the motherboard but it was working fine before the upgrade. I made sure to keep static discharged from me.

    socket 2011 question

    so I read that the new socket type is pretty much pointless(for gaming) unless you need 6 cores instead of 4... or you want quad SLI. Is that true? right now i heard that in higher resoultions such as 5760 x 1080... socket 1366 is better than 1155 with triple SLI

    socket 2011 question

    realistically how much power will these processors use? I heard something about a max 180tdp compared to 130 TDP (whatever that means ) that is currently used. In other words will a 1200 watt power supply have problems powering them along with SLI and when will these be available to purchase...

    3x Displayport Tri-SLI Surround possible?

    Okay this is just an update...... The "game extremely slow" is a separate issue from the display port issue. I thought the game was slow but really the FPS was high (I installed fraps) but the mouse and keyboard input were really erratic... slow.. lagged etc. After some googling I found out...

I managed to get all 3 working in suround once or twice but it is extremely buggy. most of the time when I try it my monitors just shut off and all...

    just an update... it could be coincidence but I installed the drivers for my particular monitor and now when I go to "span all displays" it suddenly shuts 2 of them into standby and goes to just one. But....... I went into Battlefield 3 and guess what? It went triple screen. However the lag/fps...

    Having issues with 3 GTX 580 extremes in TRI SLI(help)

    Maybe what I am trying to do is impossible :( Each of my monitors only has 1 X HDMI output.. and 1 X Display output. I bought the third GTX 580 so that I could run 3 of my monitors at 120hz. I actually tried to run all three with 2 display ports and 1 HDMI port plugged into two cards... and it...

    Having issues with 3 GTX 580 extremes in TRI SLI(help)

    Okay I am narrowing down the problem I think. It has something to do with 3 way SLI itself... not the cards or the monitors I think. When I go into nvidia drivers.... and "disable SLI" so that each GPU runs independently.... I can get all three monitors working great. edit: sorry about...

    Having issues with 3 GTX 580 extremes in TRI SLI(help)

    by the way... I just noticed... under "configure SLI" in the Nvidia section... it says 2-way SLI enabled. Is that because I have the third monitor unchecked still? (the third monitor that is off currently... is plugged into one of the cards that has been working fine for a week. So I don't...
