Thanks for the response and the help. Two other BIOS options I've seen mixed answers on - The PCIE_X16/X8_1 Link Speed, should that be set to Gen3 or Auto? PCIe Speed option, is it best to leave that on Auto or should I use Gen1 or 2?

I've posted this on two other forums with no luck but does anyone have any suggestions about what to set the Gen3 Compatibility Mode option to (right under NB PCIe Configuration - PEG-ASPM), I'm using a Asus Maximus VI Extreme Intel Z87 mobo. It's not mentioned in the manual and from what I...

So far it's remained stable at up to 4.7GHz (without hyper-threading enabled). I'm going to run some more tests at 4.5GHz with hyper-threading enabled this week when I get a chance.

Sorry for the long delay with the response, it took me a while to get the GPU to finish this build (specs below). Anyway the NT06-Pro fits no problems on the Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe/WD and it clears the USB 3.0 header also. I'm used to full tower builds (I'm using a Corsair 800D in another...

Thanks for the suggestion. I did see someone on another forum using the Noctua NH-C12P SE14, but it doesn't look like it will fit in a SG08 with the fan attached.

Does anyone here know or can confirm that the NT06-Pro will fit on a Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe/WD? I'm planning a build with the P8Z77-I and the SG08 and would like to use this heatsink/fan.

It's funny you brought this up, I just saw this comment from one of the savvy individuals over at AVSIM - http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtopic=276675 Then again this is the same imbecile that claims he is god's gift to high end hardware since he spends his days fixing Pentium...

I'll agree with you that it's “shens” but to be ignorant of what's outside “our little community” is exactly the reason why there's responses like the ones I linked to in that forum.

If you think that's bad, take a look in one of the hardware sections at one of the “flight sim” forums.

No not “just for the sake of arguing” just when bull shit misconceptions start to spread, which in the case of that forum it's almost with every post.

From looking at the rest of the responses he gave on hardware I'd say he either has way to much time on his hands to come up with this bull shit or he mis-placed his meds.

Those of use who aluminum cases should take a look this information, someone should contact Lian Li and SilverStone about the potential fire risk, I hope this doesn't put them out of business, lol. Scroll down to the bottom of this page, the response from “johnwhelan” is where it fun starts...

Thanks for the response. After looking at that info it doesn’t look like my idea about going AMD would be much of an “upgrade” at all from what I already have.

I was wondering the same. My Q9650 setup listed below is due for an upgrade and I was thinking of going the i7 route again but this time with the new 980X and the Rampage Extreme III. After checking some prices on the “highest” end from AMD I found that for less than $400.00 I could have...

Yes I had the same issue with my Samsung 32” 1080p HDTV and the new 9.12’s and the 9.12 Hotfix drivers. You can remedy the problem by using the display “Underscan - Overscan” slider in the CCC under “Scaling Options”. Oddly enough I did not have to do this with the 9.10’s or 9.11’s and my...

If you think your EVGA 680i SLI is the greatest how about graduating up to an EVGA 780i SLI mobo? I’ve got a brand new, still in the box, never been opened and still in the shrink wrap EVGA nForce 780i SLI motherboard that I got with EVGA’s step up program and never used. If you’re...

Ditto, same here. I picked up a Samsung LN32A650 from Crutchfield a few months ago for use as a PC monitor as well as XBOX360 and PS3. Out of the box connected to the PC (which at the time used an EVGA GTX 280 FTW) I wasn’t all that impressed. After nosing around in the AVS forums I came...

Thanks for the info. So no new Rampage II Extreme with SATA III?

You could hold off until the ASUS P6X58 Premium is released - http://www.overclockersclub.com/news/24967/ http://en.expreview.com/2009/06/08/more-pics-of-asus-p6x58-premium-motherboard-run-loose.html There’s also some talk of a new b3/v2 revision of the Rampage II Extreme. If...

A question for Rampage II Extreme users - I have been trying to decide on what motherboard to use with my new i7 build and after seeing the hit or miss issues with the EVGA Classified, I’m back to considering the Rampage II Extreme. My only issue is that I wanted to stick an X-Fi Titanium...

I was thinking of doing the same in order to use a X-Fi PCI Express sound card by using the second PCIe 2.0 x16 slot for the video card until I read this in the Asus GENE manual - “In single VGA mode, use first the PCIe 2.0 x16_1 slot for a PCI Express x16 graphics card to get better...

Looks like another good one to add to the list when it becomes available - http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=o9cMT9ZnTj9ujsZ9&templete=2

Why would the size of the HDTV's screen have anything to do with how well the video card can handle it? The highest resolution any HDTV whether it be a 32” or a 52” is going to be 1080P (1920x1080).

I completely agree. I purchased a Samsung LN-32A650 a few months ago and have been using the PC mode which has dramatically improved the sharpness of text and image quality with my PC. Last night I decided to give my X-rite i1 Display2 calibrator a try with the Samsung and was amazed at...

Well I gave up on using the ICC profile and settings listed over at TFT Central and bought an X-rite Eye-One Display2 monitor calibrator. The X-rite just showed up on Friday night and I’m just getting around to trying it.

Thanks for the help. I used the LaCie Blue Eye Pro settings along with downloading the ICC profile. Excuse my ignorance but when I right click the ICC profile I get an “Install Profile” option but how does the ICC file install and affect the monitor? I also used the settings listed...

FedEx dropped it off yesterday afternoon, one day earlier then when HP said I would get it. So far I don’t know if I’m lucky or what, but I haven’t found anything wrong with it, no stuck pixels, discoloration, nothing so far. I’ve got it connected to one of the machines listed below via...

I think the total was $643.00.

Yes it's one of the reasons why I ended up buying it directly from HP, thirty day's no questions asked if your not satisfied. They won't even charge a restocking fee.

I ordered it directly from HP last week and they said I should be receiving it by Wednesday or Thursday of this week. I'll let you know how I make out.

Thanks for the info. For those of us like myself who are clueless when it comes to LCD's this thread has been very helpful. About the only thing I did know about LCD's before coming into this forum was that I have never been satisfied with TN panel's compared to what I've been dealing with...

How about when using either of these two monitors as a gaming display? Would the glow and wide-gamut issue be a better trade off because of better performance when using the HP as a gaming display compared to the NEC? I just ordered the HP but if the NEC would be just as good as far as...

A question for those who actually have this monitor. How is the ant-glare screen on this monitor? I’m getting ready to purchase it but I am partial to glossy panels and was wondering if the anti-glare will be that much of a deterrent for me?

Did you pick it up from Newegg or did you get it directly from EVGA? I’m in the process of gathering parts for my i7 build. The i7 950 that I plan on using hasn’t shown up yet but I’m thinking of buying the mobo and RAM ahead of time. Any thoughts on using this RAM with the Classified –...

Thanks for the response. I was wondering if the extra real estate with the 32” HDTV might be a better way to go versus better image quality with the HP LP2475w if the LCD is primarily going be used as a gaming display.

I’ve been following this thread and it looks like the HP LP2475w just might be the most ideal LCD monitors to date. I’m about to purchase this monitor but I’m wondering if anyone here has also used the LP2475w with XBOX 360 and or a PS3? I’m interested in this monitor because of its...

So I take it no one has ever formatted Windows while connected to this HDTV?

I’m getting close to buying this HDTV for use as a monitor for my gaming PC as well as XBOX 360 and PS3 duty. I will be going away for work over the winter months and plan on purchasing the Samsung for my “away from home” location which means I will not have any other monitors available...

Some are claiming that moving the 4870X2 to the second PCiE slot fixes the issues. I’m running a Diamond 4870X2 on a Asus Rampage Formula, as soon as I can I will give the second slot a try.

Something of interest, some are claiming over at the ATI forum that they moved the 4870X2 to the second PCiE 16X slot (away from the CPU on an Asus motherboard) and they are now seeing a major increase in performance. This might be possible and related to the known issues that have surfaced...
