If I'm not using the processor's built-in GPU, should I disable it? Does it generate heat? Do I have to install the latest GPU drivers for the motherboard just to be on the safe side? THanks.

greetings, I recently installed Windows 8 64 successfully on my new p8z77-v lk motherboard. Everything is working fine. I wonder if I should install the drivers available in Asus website. http://ca.asus.com/en/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8Z77V_LK/#download Or are Microsoft Windows 8...

greetings, I'm struggling to install windows 8 in UEFI mode on my asus p8z77-v lk motherboard. I updated the BIOS to the latest version, that is 0908. I have this USB stick that was created with that Windows 8 USB tool, it has the Windows 8 installer. I can't seem to boot into the USB stick...

In a typical SLI setup, which card does Physx? In nvidia control panel you can choose a dedicated card for Physx.

Is it worth or will the 280 bottleneck the system? P8z77-v i7 3770k Pc power & cooling 750w Thx

Greetings, As you can see in my sig, I'm running two 2Gb sticks of Mushkin pc1600. I'm planning on upgrading to the following Asus P8Z77-V LK i7 3770K gtx 690 Windows 8 64 I'm not planning in getting new RAM yet. Will the two mushkins do fine? I'm not planning on aggressive...

Greetings, I have a PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad 750W. I plan on using it to feed an i7 3770K and a GTX 690, with very basic overclocking. Will it be enough? I am assuming it will make it. Thanks.

They're working. 2 x EVGA 8800 Ultra I live in Toronto. Asking $150 obo

They're working. 2 x EVGA 8800 Ultra I live in Toronto. I'm not sure how much to ask, but any offer is welcome. (6) You must Post a PRICE unless the item is purely FT. (trading for cash still means FS)

It is driving me nuts. Everything works fine, suddenly the network connection drops. No error message, nothing. Limited Connectiviy. It seems to happen if I close down uTorrent, it really annoys me. It's not the wireless router (WRT54GL), because a laptop next to me is always connected...

I have an q6600, 2gb and an 8800ultra leftovers from my last upgrade. I wish to build my second rig for HTPC only, no gaming or OC. I wanna go cheap on the case and power supply. Any suggestions?

Is that right? CPU Properties: CPU Type QuadCore Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 CPU Alias Yorkfield CPU Stepping E0 Engineering Sample No CPUID CPU Name Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9650 @ 3.00GHz CPUID Revision 0001067Ah CPU VID 1.1000 V CPU Speed: CPU Clock...

I know it's possible, the drivers are the same, the hardware is identical, etc... But would I be susceptible to games crashing? pcie 16x slot 1 = evga gtx 280 scc (648Mhz) pcie 16x slot 2 = zotac gtx 280 amp (700Mhz) I'm thinking of using EVGA precision to overclock the evga card to...

Hi Guys, I've got an unusual request. I installed my new rig and formatted my disk. Gone are my Crysis saved game files. I haven't finished the game yet. I had just left the mothership from inside the mountain. Would someone kindly send me a saved file from there? (frozen mountain)...

Greetings, I just finished installing my new rig (signature). Everything fine, except that sometimes when I reboot Vista 32 the computer doesn't post, it kind of freezes. I have to reset it again for it to boot properly. Could it be my power supply? I don't think so, because games...

The default setup has it as 4-way SLI. Why if my setup is a standard 2-way SLI? I've noticed that some games have 4-way SLI and others even 3-way SLI. Will that affect performance?

Greetings my little ones, I just purchased BIA: EIB from Steam. It doesn't like my SLI setup.... It lags like hell, 15 fps. I have to disable SLI in order to have it run properly (50 fps). I've tried everything in nHancer, but nothing works. Is there a known problem? I posted...

Is this a good buy? It's c$536 in Newegg.ca. Zotac 280 gtx @ 700 Mhz Is Zotac a good brand? I did a quick search here and found mixed reviews. Any updates? Thanks a lot.

Will it fit in a 790i board? The northbridge fan is quite big. What fan do you recommend with it? Thanks.

That's exactly the same cooler Intel ships with its processors, right? http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX20125(ME).aspx

Will my PC Power 750w handle two 280 GTX ftw in SLI? Plus a q9650 oc'd to 4Ghz at least. Thanks.

Can I overclock more the already oc'd 280 gtx ftw. Or has it reached it's limit at factory 670MHz? ---> EVGA GTX 280 Ftw 670MHZ

I'm deciding which brand is best. I'm inclined to get the OCZ XTC 4GB DDR3 2X2GB DDR3-1800 CL 8-8-8-27 pair, because I've had a good experience with my current config. It'll run on an evga 790i ftwd and q9650. I intend the cpu to reach around 4.2Ghz... Is the G.SKILL...

anyone using them together? I'm about to upgrade to a q9650 and I would like some opinions, should I stick with the zalman 9700 or is there something newere on the market? It has to fit into my antec p182. Thanks.

any other suggestion? my current config runs fine and oc too with ocz, that's why I'm inclined to purchase a pair of 2Gb ocz xtc ddr3-1800 sticks. what about g.skill or crucial? patriot? thanks.

ncix http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=30530&vpn=01G-P3-1280-AR&manufacture=eVGA that's a good deal, isn't it??? :eek:

The main advantage of the 780i is the use of the extremely cheap DDR2 memory. Would the 790i be much faster?

From what I've read, the Ultra can OC better, everything else is pretty much the same. Right?

Hi, I just RMAed my brave 8800ultra back to EVGA for a replacement. If they don't have any 8800ultras left, which current generation card would they be sending me? a 260gtx? :rolleyes: Hopefully...

Hi Guys, I'm tempted to upgrade my videocards (see signature). I'm thinking of buying two 260gtx core 216 in SLI. The prices are very good. I have two concerns: 1. Will my PC Power 750W power supply be enough? 2. Is the pci-e interface up to par? It's not 2.0... 3. Will...

I purchased this monitor last year and now I'm faced with this!!!!!!! :eek: :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: @#!%$!@#!%!@#!@$!@$

Why is it better to run the memory linked at a slower speed than running it unlinked at a higher speed? :confused: :rolleyes:

A given CPU running OC @ 3Ghz for instance. Will it perform the same as another similar CPU running @ 3Ghz stock? Aside the fact that more heat is generated and the likelihood of a crash (shorter lifespan in the long run), is there any overhead introduced to the CPU processing itself...

Orthos: should I open two instances and set affinity? Prime: should I open one or two instances?

So I'm running my q6600 @ 3.4GHz stable while running games (Bioshock, MOH, etc.). Never froze or anything weird happened. However, it'll fail after a few minutes running Prime. May I say my rig is stable? :cool:

What's the highest voltage a q6600 can take? I'm currently running it at 3.4Ghz and auto voltage which was set to 1.4v. Can I go higher? I'm playing games so far and it's rock solid, however, Prime failed in Core4 after a few minutes. mem @ 900 / 5-6-6-16 / 2.1v

So right now I appears my mb is not overvolting my memory. It's at 1.86... I believe I can go to 2.1V without fear right? I've got an ocz memory cooler over my two sticks.... Also, I'm doing the following OC: cpu @ 3.2 fsb @ 400 mem @ 800 (1:1) what I intend is pumping the...

I have my q6600 @ 3.2Ghz and mems runnig 1:1 @ 800Mhz (ozc pc8500). Everything is stable under Vista64. However, under WinXP I noticed this weird problem after running 3dmark2006 after a few minutes. Are these artifacts? I have to reboot the system in order to get rid of them. My...

Under WinXP my Everest would should the temperature of my two hard disks. The same version under Vista64 won't....... May I ask why? :(

I was using Vista64 so far without any major issues. Memory used was at 900Mb the most. Then I decided to burn an 8Gb image file to an DL dvd using Nero. I had many Firefox sessions open, playing Foobar and that's it. Suddenly memory usage rose to 1.8Gb and climbing. My system has...
