I was about to pull the trigger on this, but have some concerns about gaming. My main use for my PC is games such as BF3, TF2, etc... Should I go with this or the ASUS VG278HE...

Thinking about this one...VG278HE http://www.amazon.com/Series-VG278HE-27-Inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B00906HM6K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365302261&sr=8-1&keywords=VG278HE Thoughts?

Unfortunately, the 27" is sold out again. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?p_id=9579&seq=1&format=2 30" is within budget for DVI only model (Display port/HDMI is more) http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?p_id=10235&seq=1&format=2

Sold out.

budget is $600-700 or less, so that doesn't really narrow my options too much :o

Mainly for FPS gaming. Trying to research this has my head spinning. Crossover, Catleap, monoprice, asus.... Seems like they all have good and bad. I'm upgrading from a 24" Dell 2405FPw. Main use will be battlefield. I almost pulled the trigger on a catleap, but I'd prefer to go the...

I have been away from this for a while but I need to get this squared away. It seems to happen more when my room is cool. If my room is warm on a hot day, it boots up fine. I don't see why lower ambient temp would impact my ability to boot, but it definitely seems to. I've memtested the ram, ive...

been there done that, not stable. I bumped my machine down to 240HTT memory in 1:1 divider, and 1.3vcore (board overvolts it to 1.35.). and Prime ran for 2.5 hours before failing on core 0. Max temp according to PC probe was 44C. What should I do here to get it stable past 2.5 hours?

Have any updated drivers been released recently? My struggles continue. This morning I tried starting up my pc, had to reset 3 times to get it to boot past post, and when I did get it to startup, the video card driver is now not installed. It shows up in add/remove programs, but not in...

ugh...HELP!! This morning I tried starting it up, had to reset 3 times to get it to boot past post, and when I did get it to startup, the video card driver is now not installed. It shows up in add/remove programs, but not in device manager and was detected as new hardware. I will have to...

It is actually 1 long followed by 3 short beeps. According to several websites, this is a base/extended memory error. However, Memtest86 runs for 5+ hours with no errors, so I don't think the memory is bad. Could the timings I have set just be bad? Any help would be appreciated, as the...

I think it is AMI. Can anyone confirm? If it is, its a memory test error. I ran memtest86 several times and it never picked up any problems, and the memory is not overclocked, it is running at it's 250mhz stock speed. I guess I will see what memtest says this time and RMA if needed. Maybe...

I forgot to check which BIOS the A8R32-MVP uses (Award, AMI, Phoenix), so I don't know which beep code list applies to me. Anyone know? Once I know that I will be able to narrow down my issue to that beep code. Thanks in advance.

I get some beeps, but I wasn't paying attention, so I can't describe their order/length. Not that that matters, because I have been unable to find a list of the beep codes for this board, not in the manual, not on the web... Anyway, I Suspect video or memory, most likely video because...

Sometimes when I boot my machine up, the sound will sound very "metalic" for lack of a better word. It's very high pitched and "chimey," but definitely audible and you can understand what is playing. I know the description sucks, but I have an X-fi extreme music card and am wondering if it...

Soooo....giving it 1.55V only helped a bit, but it still isn't lasting longer than 5 minutes. What else is there to try? Am I forced to accept my 2.5ghz @ 1.45v? Is there anything else I can tweak? Should I lower the HT Link multiplier? Currently HT Link speed is 800mhz...should I Lower it...

What stepping opteron do you have? I currently have this board, an opteron 170 at 2.6ghz, with Vcore 1.5v, 2GBHZ G.SKILL memory and prime is failing on core 0 in < 2 minutes. I had it 2+ hours prime stable at this voltage at 2.5ghz, but when I upped the HTT to 260 (x10 multiplier), it is not...

I am not ignoring anyone. I put my Vcore up to 1.5 and HTT at 260, multiplier 10. My memory is running at 260mhz in 1:1, but prime95 is failing on core1 right after I start it basically. I know the math. ((10 * 260) / (10/1)) = 260mhz Not a difficult calculation. What is your point...

which logitech did you try?

I saw the Saitek x52 tonight...pretty awesome, but I don't need all that. What is the best Saitek stand alone joystick? I don't need the seperate throttle stick. Cyborg? Also, thoughts on the Logitech 3D Pro? Didn't someone complain about it in this thread?

Update: I moved the core voltage to 1.375 and then overvolted +100mV to put it at 1.475. Prime ran fine for 3 hours and then failed on core 1. Obviously prime for 3 hours isn't "great," but that is pretty decent right? Should i take it back up to 1.4 vcore and +100mV instead, or is this...

Ok, so I guess I have to give this a try if I want to get this thing to 2.6ghz.

Whatever it is, it's not my board. I isolated the sound to the video card. My descriptions matched many of those found at: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33843512 Almost perfectly. So I think my board is ok.

I love the 360 controller. I will definitely pick one up for my pc. Still deciding on the joystick. I also will need a headset. Any advice on that? I need something for gaming at night so that I don't make too much noise, and for it to double as a mic for communication in games like...

so if my vcore is set to 1.4v (but reading 1.44 in the probe) Should I just overvolt +100mV, or would it be safer to bump down the vcore a notch and then overvolt +100mV or +200mV?

I think my board is fine, and the squealing/whining seems to be coming from the video card. Many people over at rage3d are having the same noises at the same time (3dmark 05 cpu tests), exactly as I described it. As for my OCing stability... I lowered my HT link speed to 800mhz. This...

would it be better to RMA through ZipZoomFly or ASUS directly?

Thanks for the advice! I was definitely planning on bringing down the HT to 800mhz as a next step. I didn't really think of lowering the Vcore and then overvolting, but that actually makes alot of sense. Unfortunately I don't have that multiplier option of 11. :( And unfortunately again...

so basically, what you are saying is I need to RMA? I am taking the board out of the machine today to install an SI-120, so I will take a look at all the capacitors. Anything specific I should look for?

Does anyone else have this board and experience a quiet, but high pitched squealing noise at times the CPU or GPU is under heavy load? This occured before I started any overclocking of any sort, so I was wondering if anyone else experienced this.

Well, I switched the setting to 1:1 (200mhz) and now everything is running. I am at 2.5ghz and ram is at 250mhz as well. What should I have the HT link speed at? ATI's overclocking guide for this chipset said 1000mhz is fine, but I just wanted to verify that. 3Dmark progarms run fine...

So I tried 250HTT (2.5ghz) Windows boots fine. However, CPU-Z still displays the memory in a divider situation. Temps went up again as well. Here is another screen shot of the current situation. When I tried to specify the memory clock to 250Mhz in the BIOS, the machine won't...

So right now I am at 2.4ghz. Temps have risen, but only 2-3C, still on stock cooling. (SI-120 & 120MM fan w/ AS5 have arrived and are awaiting install) CPU-Z Now, I have several questions. 1) I have a dual core opty, and the asus pc probe is reading the voltage at 1.44, with...

sorry.

is the 360 controller USB?

I have no reason to overclock my memory to get to 2.5ghz, because my ram is 250mhz stock. As I increase HTT to 250 gradually, it will also raise the memory speed due to 1:1 memory ratio. However, the big question is if I can get my memory up to 270ghz so that I can gradually take the HTT to...

When I used to play the original BF games back in the day, the joystick made it much easier, and I got quite used to flying choppers and planes using it, so for me at least, a joystick will be a must for that game.

Almost time to do this. Any last words of advice? Should I start at 230HTT and go up from there? At this point my plan is to go into the bios and do the following: -reconfigure the memory timings to above posted settings -initially move HTT to 230 -boot to windows to see if that...

which g.skill memory do you have? 2gbHZ? That is supposed to be 250mhz stock.
