    Budget 4K Monitor Recommendations

    I currently have one of these- https://www.amazon.com/LG-27UD68-P-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01CH9ZTI4/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=27UD68-P&qid=1627431048&sr=8-1 It's my primary. I do game on it. I know it's a waste of my RTX 3090, but 'tis what 'tis. Long-term there I am thinking of an LG...

    X570 Motherboard Recommendations

    I am doing a rebuild (I know, awful time, but good reasons behind its urgency) based around a Ryzen 5800X. I have usually gone with upper-mid-tier offerings from Asus (my current board is an X370 Prime Pro- which has been... eh), but given the current, weird situation of stock and the overall...

    CPU Cooler Recommendations

    The task of choosing a CPU cooler would be rather straightforward for me... if I didn't transport my current rig so much. When I originally built it last summer, I did so as a relatively quick replacement for my old Socket 939 rig whose motherboard had just died after five years of service. I...

    Opinions on This Lite-On BD ROM Drive?

    Both of my five year old CD/DVD drives that I carried over from my old PC (whose motherboard bit the dust last summer) to my new one have conked out, leaving me with only my newer Asus CD/DVD drive that I bought last summer. In modern times you'd think one drive would be enough but it gets to...

    Portable HTPC/Monitor

    I've been looking at laptops and HTPC's and other relatively portable computers. I'm a college student so my Antec 900 rig is in my dorm but there are plenty of LAN parties to attend and other things to do around campus and I also don't have a great computer to use at home (just using my...

    GTX 280 Clock Throttling and Sins of a Solar Empire

    So... in one fell swoop I installed the new nVidia 180.48 drivers and the full Sins of a Solar Empire 1.1 patch. The previous nVidia drivers had finally gotten my GTX 280 to start doing some of its promised idle clock throttling which is very nice because depending my the temperature in my room...

    eVGA Precision and Two, Non-SLI GPU's

    Atm, I have an eVGA GTX 280 functioning as my primary gpu and an 8800GTS 640mb SSC powering my second display and functioning as a dedicated gpgpu (nVidia PhysX, CUDA, Morpheme, etc...). Precision only recognizes the GTX 280 and there doesn't seem to be a way to get at the 8800GTS 640mb SSC via...

    PC + Z-4 Speakers + Wii + TV Tuner + Component Cables + Dell 2048WFP

    Ok, so here's my set-up: I have Logitech Z-4 2.1 speakers. The R+L speakers connect into the subwoofer which has a standard PC audio out connection which I route into my TV tuner. The tuner then routes to my X-Fi XtremeGamer in my PC when I am piping sound through my PC. When I am watching...

    790i w/Hybrid SLI Support?

    Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about a 790i board with Hybrid SLI support. I am looking to build a new rig (don't worry, I'll be keeping the gpu I have now until I see what comes of the 9900 rumors- thus far it has sufficed quite well for a vast majority of games) in 1-2 months...

    Onboard Audio Enhancers?

    I got an X-Fi XtremeGamer a little bit back and have had problems with it ever since- the card itself, apparently, is fine, but it just doesn't play well w/my Asus A8N-SLI nForce 4 mobo. Unwilling to get a new mobo and need to replace my RAM and CPU as well atm, I am planning to just tough it...

    Changing IRQ's in Vista x64 on an A8N-SLI

    Ok, so I picked-up an X-Fi XtremeGamer not long ago and have been having problems with it (worked fine initially, but I've realized that its ability to work fine is just kinda more or less chance) ever since. I have tracked these problems down to one major IRQ conflict- both my 8800GTS 640mb...

    My (Weird) X-Fi Experience

    As part of a semi-major upgrade I initiated three weeks ago, I purchased an X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card. I initially slapped this in my case, installed the drivers, and had it working fine in XP. I then received Vista x64 (had bought Vista Home Premium but for anything less than Ultimate you...

    No SLIAA in Vista x64?

    I just upgraded to Vista x64 a couple of days ago and so far have actually been pleasantly surprised- it runs smoothly and looks great, and seems to overall be far more stable and convenient than XP. I am, rather amazingly, quite happy with Vista. However, my happiness with nVidia is currently...

    Vista Home Premium = Vista 64?

    What I'm Looking At The disclaimer seems kinda vague. I have an AMD Opteron 185 2.6GHz Dual Core that supports 64-bit, and very much wish to take advantage of its 64-bit capabilities (no, it may not be true 64-bit, but it is still nevertheless an improvement). I am also looking to (not...

    Old and New 8800GTS 640mb SLI Compatible?

    I'll preface this by noting that given the difference in stream processors, I would think the two incompatible. However, I figured it's worth looking into. I have an eVGA GeForce 8800GTS 640mb Superclocked, and have been looking to pick-up another when 8800GTS prices took their big dip- it...
