Do you game? If so how did you find the move from 3950x to 3960x? I'm looking to buy one of these (finally moving away from X58), and am seriously considering the 3960x as I also do a lot of compiling and the TRX40 looks more future-proof, but I also want something that performs well for 144Hz...

Coming from the G5 and then the G400, I find the G403 too narrow towards the middle and rear. I've realised that I use a fingertip grip but with the edge of my palm (below my little finger) for more control, and the G403 is too narrow for my palm edge to make contact whilst I'm moving or...

200 blck doesn't mean anything, don't aim for blck, aim for frequency. Let your CPU scale the frequency from x12 - x24 using it's power-saving features (so it's not hot all the time and is quieter when idle), rather than locking at a certain multiplier. 175 Blck will give you the 2100MHz ->...

I replied to your PM before I saw this post, so I'll post my PM reply here too for completeness: I stabilised my X5670 at 4.2GHz, only because I wanted to keep my case fans as quiet as possible and didn't want to have to increase them. It was a fairly easy overclock and I could have easily hit...

Yeah they must do, it definitely seems like it's based on frequency rather than multiplier, which makes my life easier :)

Wait, the offset th Thanks for the help! After some testing, I found that setting "Normal" with BCLK 175 produced the same voltage as Auto with BCLK 133 for the same frequency when C-states and EIST were on i.e. BCLK 133: 133 x 12 = 1596MHz, 0.912v - 0.928v 133 x 15 = 1995MHz, 0.944v - 0.960v...

Hmm so I guess I will also have to take in to account Vdrop and incorrect error reporting by software when doing this? Also, what would be the benefit of the first reading (setting BCLK to stock and then stressing the CPU)? Shouldn't I be getting the lowest voltage by setting the desired BCLK...

I'm finally overclocking my X5670 and have found a stable Vcore at 4.2GHz (1.29375V). I now want to use dynamic voltage, however my X58A-UD3R requires setting the Vcore to "Normal" before I can set the offset. My question is, what is the voltage that "Normal" will set? I need to know this before...

Thanks, that's exactly the case I was thinking of! I have an R3 for my server and it's such an excellent case.

I was going to upgrade the case when I did a full system rebuild (probably when Skylake-e comes). I'll give a non-blower card a go and if everything is too warm I'll upgrade the case now rather than later. Thanks!

Yeah they would end up crashing the system, and the top card normally reaches the low 90s. It may be that there isn't enough space between the cards with my motherboard, but I'm still wondering if an open air 980 Ti would be a bad idea in a P182? I wouldn't want to buy an aftermarket cooler as...

I'm looking to replace my current 2 GTX 670 cards with a 980 Ti. The SLI cards were a stupid decision as even though they are blowers, they generate so much heat that I need to keep my side case off (probably partly due to having no space between the slots lol), and I don't want to make a...

Excellent, thanks for the responses guys. I want to shy away from expanding my current 3x2GB kit and using 6 sticks so I'll buy 3x8GB and will report back on how it goes when I set everything up.

Does anybody have any experience with 3x8GB Kingston HyperX FURY RAM with the X58A-UD3R? http://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-FURY-1866MHz-Memory-Module/dp/B00J8E91UO/ref=sr_1_11?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1439240537&sr=1-11&keywords=HyperX I'm wondering if the board will hold up if overclocking a...

Would you say multiple-slot AIOs are a better comparison against air cooling in general, and single-slot aren't worth considering?

I'm upgrading my i7 930@4GHz to an x5670 and looking for at least a 4GHz clock. I currently have a Megahalems Rev B with 2 Akasa Apache 120mm fans and was wondering if it was worth me upgrading my heatsink? At one point I was thinking of going for an AIO cooler (something like the H80i) but...

Thanks, I'm going to go for the x5670 and see how it goes.

Err sorry typo, I meant 980 Ti.

I'm looking at upgrading my i7 930@4GHz to either an x5650 or an x5670. I'm leaning towards the x5670 simply for it's higher speed, however thought I'd ask here if there is any preference when it comes to overclocking? Also would either bottleneck a 980 Ti at 1440p (e.g. in BF4 64 player online)?

Also the trackpads gives you 1-1 motion just like a mouse, rather than setting the rate of movement like an analog stick does. This reminds me of playing FPS games on the Nintendo DS which was actually a lot nicer than using a traditional controller, but just a lot more awesome. Probably the...

Yeah, thanks for that, was actually just thinking I should play through all the Metal Gears, time to leave this thread.

For those put off playing MWLL due to the cost of Crysis Warhead, it's on Steam for £2.39 for the next 6 hours. Make the most of it!

Thought so, just wasn't sure if there was something I was overlooking. Thanks all for the advice :)

I'm a bit new to networking so please bear with me. I have a home server which I'm running a few services on that I'd like to be able to access from the net, and I have a single static IP with my own domain. What I'd like to do is to restrict these services to certain hostnames. Let's say I...

Yep, getting this too. For now I've disabled hardware acceleration in Flash.

Can anyone with 3 screens just test if this works?

It doesn't work, setting the resolution (in config or in game) to that of one of my monitors has the same effect unfortunately.

I have a triple monitor setup, and play some games only on the middle monitor. With the 301.42 drivers I have my cards set to span, with desktop windows management enabled. With every other game when I set it to the resolution of 1 monitor, it simply fullscreens them on the middle monitor only...

When you want to change direction, either boost so you're just off the ground then feather your boosts in the direction you want, or literally turn to look in the direction you want while skiing (although this will slow you down quite a bit).

Quick question for those of you with GTX 680s and triple monitors. When using the new desktop features (snapping to monitor and taskbar on middle screen), do you get any of the following issues (that I get with my GTX460 SLI setup, without bezel compensation): - Taskbar 1 pixel away from...

Awesome, thanks for that info. I'll be using the drive for the system as well as multiple virtual machines but it sounds like even then, the difference will be negligable.

First off sorry if this has been asked before, seems like something that would have been but I couldn't find anything. How does the Vertex 3 120GB MAX IOPS perform compared to the standard 240GB version? I'm looking to put one in my laptop and 240GB seems excessive. Anandtech says here that...

For me the 3D is a lot more immersive than I think it is. I always think 3D won't make a difference, then when I actually turn it off it just looks like I'm looking at a screen, like a PSP or something, and I can't stand it. Turning it on makes me feel like I'm looking into the game, like I'm...

I've closed Origin and opened it up again, rebooted my PC, right-clicked and clicked on "Check for update" and "Repair install", nothing.

I've got this issue too.

Heh, good point, totally forgot that my X-fi is a x1 card. Currently it's in the bottom slot, this was because I didn't want the heat from the top card to hit the X-fi card (I don't remember 100% but I think I tried that for a while and used to get a crackling effect due to heat). I'll put it...

Thanks guys, I'm now looking into a separate card to drive the third display. The only spare slot I have is a PCI-E x1 with a closed end, so will have to specifically buy a x1 graphics card. Any good suggestions? z3r0: In SLI mode I can only use 2 monitors (not good for work), and in...

I'm currently running 2 GTX 460s in SLI and am running a triple monitor setup for work, but I play games on a single screen (I don't like the way surround/eyefinity is implemented and prefer a single display, also the higher fps). Since SLI can only run 2 cards, I find that whenever I want to...

I bought this game 2 days ago and love it, recently I've found it hard to really get into a game (especially single player), but this one I've had no problems with! I love how the developers thought about the game mechanics, and how the smallest thing adds to the gameplay e.g. the small lag in...

No OSD means lower input lag, which is great for gamers. I was looking at the Hazro HZ30Wi which again doesn't have an OSD, but as a gamer that's an advantage for me, and colours can be calibrated in software anyway. The other comparible IPS monitor with low input lag is the HP ZR30w, they both...
