Hello HF Community, I've successfully have OC my Asus Z87 board + Intel Core i5 4670K to 4.6 MHz (typically I leave it at 4.2). However, a burning question remains: why is it, no matter what OC setting I use (3.8-4.6 MHz), my CORE SPEED always reads off by 1.x and memory too. Example...

The sad but true part: I've had my "new baby" for just a lil' over 2 years now, and I've never really broken her in and over-clocked her. Built from the ground up using a Lian-Li PC-A70B tower ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112141 ), I never had a desire to...

I've been doing some reading, researching, and comparisons regarding the latest EVGA OC 1G GF 460 and 470. I'm a bit confused on which one comes out on top. Sure, the 470 puts out higher frame rates from marginal to note-worthy, but w/ the OC 460 it seems that it has better quality control...

Apparently, the Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Digital Speaker System came out years ago, and yet it remains a huge favorite amongst many circles and given price range. Should I be greatly concerned that it doesn't have HDMI connectors or decode DD True HD and DD DTS Master Audio (whatever this...

I have the Audio-Technica ATH-A700 Headphones (They have a Input Impedance of 64 ohm) I'm looking for a new soundcard. Is it important to make sure that the soundcard has at least 64 ohm OR MORE for proper quality sound to come out of the headphones? Also, between these two soundcards...

(Sorry for the title caps. Tried changing it, but too late :/ ) Greetings All, I'll keep this short. I don't like Creative Soundblaster. I haven't for a long time now. I even tried giving them another chance and bought a basic Soundblaster Extreme Audio card, and their lack of support and...

I'll keep this short n' sweet. I use to have a Samsung 19' monitor, then ditched that and started using my 47' Phillips TV Flatpanel as a duel tv/pc monitor. This obviously doesn't yield the results I originally thought it have, and I've decided bigger isn't necessarily better for ME. That...

So, I recently bought the Audio Technica ATH A700 headphones recently, and needless to say they've changed my gaming/music listening-life! I now find myself on a quest....*looks around & says quietly* I think I might be becoming a sound snob (I'm already a graphics whore, so image that..heh)...

So, in my quest for the perfect sound begun, I've a new question. I hope this is the proper area for it :) All this is solely under the understanding that I'm about to begin backing up my CD library from scratch.... Say you rip a CD at whatever .mp3 value you want: VBR, 320, 192, 128, etc...

Hey Everyone (Mornin' where I'm at), Alright. Short n' sweet. I've never bought a "real" pair of nice headphones, and I'd like to jump into it. I'm currently using my on-board integrated sound that's on a Gigabyte EX58-UD4P motherboard. ((Yes, I had a Sound Blaster X-FI card, and in the end...
