Guys Been out of gaming for a while, but would like to get back in w/ games like Mordor and Far Cry 4. I have an older Core2 Duo (E7300) with a GTX260 that can't play DX11. Is it worth a video card upgrade for this system or will I be held back by the CPU? If worthwhile, what card would you...

Hey All After 2+ years of trouble free running, my wife's machine wouldn't even POST this AM. I built it for her, it's a low end ECS motherboard (gf7050) w/ an E7300 and 2 1GB sticks of OCZ PC2 6400. It has a Corsair CX430 PSU and uses the onboard video. I opened it up and started...

Hey guys I have a NEC 2080UX+ that I use as a second monitor. I bought it used, and over the past 2 years it's gotten pretty dim, less than 1/2 as bright as my newer TN monitor according to my monitor calibration. The colors seem fine and there's nothing else wrong with the unit. Is it...

Hi All I'm a casual OCer, and wanted to get a little more speed out of a recent build with an e5200 in a Gigabyte P45-D3SL. I noticed that the multiplier defaulted to 9.5X, and when I raised it to 12 (default 266 FSB) cpuz reported that I was at 3.1 GHz, which was pretty close to where I was...

Guys Hoping the [H] can help me out here, sorry if this is a FAQ but I've searched and can't find the answer I have a W2K machine (Optiplex GX110!) set up as a PVR, running GB-PVR. It's getting a little long in the tooth so I thought I'd build a new machine. I'm planning to install Vista 32...

All I am ready to remove the 100 lb CRT screen from my desk, but after a fair bit of reading I realize that it will not be trivial to get good performance for my 2 main computer activities, Photoshop on dSLR images and gaming/browsing/general usage. I would like a 24" screen. I know that an...

Guys I'm an old school CRT user, thinking about making the switch to an LCD. I've pretty much decided that anything smaller than a 24" won't motivate me to switch, since I have a 20" CRT now. However, I doubt that my 8800GT will be able to run all the games I'm likely to play at 1900x1200...

I noticed today that the card slot fillers on my P180 case have openings. It seemed strange - surely much more air will come in that way than throught the air filter in front. Has anyone tried sealing them? I like the idea of only having to clean the front air filter instead of taking the whole...

Hi All Trying to OC my new machine, an E6750 with a Scythe Ninja in an Asus P5K, 4GB OCZ Platinum DDR2-800 eVGA 8800 GTS all in a P180b. I'm looking for quiet over speed, but would like to get the clocks as high as I can. What I've found is that w/FSB at 440 everything is fine. At FSB 450, I...
