Building a new rig around a 4770k and having trouble picking a board. I know the older Hero VI was regarded highly, but read mixed reviews for the new version.

Only happens with a few video files, the thumbnails appear green and pink. The video plays fine however. Any idea what causes this? Is there a way to fix it?

Had an issue with my 4870x2. Worked fine in games but had strange power up problems. It would not wake from standby, had to reset CMOS. Also on a cold boot up the board would report no VGA. After a quick reset usually worked fine, sometimes it required a CMOS reset. Picked up a cheap...

I have an Asus P6T deluxe and for whatever reason I have cold start up issues. Standby never worked for me, if it sat for awhile. If i woke it within 5 minutes it was fine, anything longer I would just get a blank screen. Monitor would not detect any signal. Power cycles would not fix the...

I had some issues with standby and my monitor not posting and video, but new ATi drivers fixed that. However I needed to reformat for some other issues and now standby no longer works. When I hit the sleep button the monitor shuts down, the fans still are running, I can hear the HDD going...

So how many people are having this issue. The game runs great on Ultra settings for me, but keep getting random crashes. Could be during a mission, at the menu screen, or video playback. The problem is supposed to be more on Vista 32 bit end, I'm running 64 with 12GB of memory, not sure how I...

Currently have the Noctua, but not to happy with. Was thinking about trying a coolermaster v8 or the Ultra 120. What do you think?

Not sure where to post thins, so apologize if its the wrong forum. My monitor will come out of standby if I wake it after a few minutes, any longer and I get a blank screen. However I can hear windows loading up fine. It takes several reboots, disconnecting power cord, and resets to get the...

I had my i7 920 OCed to 3.8 @ 1.35V, ran 100 passes with Linx and Prime95 (at the same time) without issues. Played about 30min of Crysis and started to get flashing white specks and a few small flashing textures. Ran ATI tool and it had errors the second it started. Lowered 920 OC to 3.2 @...

Wondering if it works fine, as I want to change some icons around.

About to install Cats 9.1, do I really still need to run DriverCleaner? I don't feel like paying $10 bucks for it but if I should use I will. Second I set my fan speed to 35% will the fan still increase its speed if it needs to or will it stay locked at that setting no matter how hot it...

Well after about two weeks of trying different multis and BLCKs I finally settled on 20x190 @1.3V (everything else on auto). This is what else I tried (all running prime95)... 20x190 @ 1.3V - 24 hours prime95 stable 20x195 @ 1.3V - BSOD/Win Restart after about and hour 20x200 @...

Running Vista x64. Tried both x86 and x64 versions of IE. As you can see in the picture firefox works fine. Also gettng an "We're sorry... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application " in some of the iGoogle widgets.

Just started to OC and 3.8 seems stable with 12 of Corsair Dominator 1600, however 4.0 either crashes windows or gives me BSOD. Temps are between 75-68c, any suggestions to hit the 4.0? This is on an Asus P6T and I used the XMS profile for the ram.

The option that checks the fan speeds and what not is really slow when accessing. Takes a good 5-8 seconds to open after a key press. Browsing anything else in the bios is fine however. Any ideas?

Just started to OC my i7 and no problems so far. I disabled SpeedStep and my multi is still dropping from x20 to x12. Looked around in bios and do not see any other option, unless I am missing something. :confused:

Finally got windows up and running on my new rig. Core 0 & 1 are 30c and core 2 & 3 are 26c. Saw it was pretty normal to a have a difference between cores with 45nm chips. Just wanted to see if it held true with the i7s. Gonna try reseating my Noctua again and see if it changes. By the...

Just wondering what your temp results are. Was thinking of replacing the fans on my noctua heatsink with two 120mm high speed deltas. Maybe even replace the two in my case as well. If I'm gonna get a higher oc on my i7 I don't mind the noise.

Anything comparable to CUDA? Quick google search shows Cyberlink supports 4800 series cards, but I do not see anything on there site advertising it. They just advertise CUDA. Can anyone confirm that PowerDirector does in fact use ATI cards for transcoding, and does it do as well as CUDA?

Going to throw together a dual core atom rig for the hell of it. Whats a cheap low end GPU of decent quality. Looking to spend no more than $50 bucks MAX on it. Want to make sure video play back is perfectly smooth. Oh it has to be PCI.

???

Looks like early reports of the GTX295, not being the 4870x2 killer, and them performing almost on par. Anyone else in the same boat? Which card are you leaning too?

Title says it all. Suggestions?

Been swapping fans in an out testing differences and the mounting holes are not holding screws tightly. Do they make a special locktite for plastics or something? I do not want to use straight up glue as I want to be able to removed them and place in other machines if need be. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me if there is any trouble fitting the taller dominator ram on the p6t with a noctua heatsink? How about with all dims filled? Also is there room on the board for a soundcard if running two vid cards? Thanks.

Built my sister a quick pc with a barebones kit. The asus board in it actually does a pretty decent overclock. OCed the e7300 to 3.0ghz on the stock cooler but temps were getting up to 72C during prime. Lapped it and am now load gets no higher than 60. Idle has remained unchanged one core is...

Wondering how high you were able to clock it. What board and ram also were you using. Thanks :).

This has happened to me on a number of builds. After install windows everything boots up nice and quick. I install the video drivers and all of a sudden I get a blinking cursor right before the windows progress bar starts. It lasts about 5 seconds or so at the top of the screen, then spaces...

I have one of those WD book external drive and the memeo software that comes with it kind of sucks. Locks up alot and restricted to folder/files with a specific number of characters. Can any one recommend a good free backup utility? One that backups as soon as the file is changed would be...

Anyone have this board and cooler? Wondering if it will fit. Thanks!

Want an extra monitor to flank my 2490wuxi. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you had the money would you pick up the 965 over the 920? I really am having a hard time deciding. I don't need it for what I do, some gaming, little encoding, nothing crazy. I went crazy with my last built with an FX-53 and X800XT, which was over four years ago and it held up pretty...

Having trouble deciding between 4870x2 and GTX280, with the possibility of future CF or SLI. Just curious what others are doing.

I'll be jumping on the i7 train within the next two weeks and I haven't built a PC in 4 years, my last video card was the X800 XT. Who generally has better scaling and drivers. ATI or Nvidia? I can't decide if I want to go 4870x2 or GTX280 (maybe SLI). Suggestions would be great :).

Finally bit the built and bought one and I am so happy I did. This LCD is great and happy to report no dead pixels out of the box. I did not get the model with the spectra view and wondering if those who did can post their settings. I would like to see how much of a difference it will make...

Can't make up my mind on getting either the 2490WUXi or 2690WUXi. There is only $100 difference between the two but not sure if the dot pitch increase is going to be bothersome as I am used to 1650x1080 on a 20" monitor. Although I would not mind it larger so its easier on the eyes, but I only...

Looking for a good board to pair up with a q9450. Pretty cheap on the Egg.
