Hello- just bought a 2600X + Asus Strix x470-f and have 2 questions. Is it worth upgrading the cooler to an AiO? what's a good 16GB memory kit for the price? (preferably without RGB) Will a better cooler noticeably improve gaming performance (via XFR)? I've been worried about underperforming...

How does it have 11GB VRAM? That number doesn't make any sense at all to me. Is it 12GB but with 1GB not traditionally addressable a la GTX970 's .5 GB?

I know most people love high DPI displays, but for FPS games i prefer lower DPI than most. It's the reason I played CS @ 800x600 and 1024x768 on a 21" CRT back in the day and why I opted for a 32" 1080p LCDTV over a 30" 2560x1600 LCD monitor 5 years ago. A higher DPI will always be helpful to me...

Hey gang im on a shitty backup computer and dont have time or ability to do my normal research. I moved this past weekend and my dad dropped my desktop. it's having USB, random video artifacting and hard-locking, and power problems. I would just swap the mobo out, but it's socket 1156 and having...

DEAL IS DEAD. IT WAS A DATABASE ERROR BETWEEN BUY.COM AND THEIR AMAZON MARKETPLACE. the wrong items were listed. if you ordered the card, you will get a Buzz Jr board game or something retarded. Amazon's order status will look normal, but if you check on buy.com, it will show the buzz jr. there...

upgraded few months back to x2 from a GTX260. i noticed the FPS improvement but i was getting random crashes, hardlocks, and even some BSODs. i attributed it to a year old Vista install that was giving me weird issues anyway. decided to go with Windows 7 7068 cause ive heard good things about...

giving to a friend who has an ancient card please lock

little background info: I've been researching netbooks and small notebooks for a few months now. i was enthralled by the original Eee PC but never really had a use for one (or any laptop) until recently. With my new job @ a school i constantly need wireless access, but b/c of remote desktop...

I run Vista 64. I have both a Razer Barracuda AC-1 and an X-Fi Fatality Platinum Champion series or whatever with the front drive bay. The razer has better audio but the X-Fi has a much better GUI (creative having better software than ANYONE is scarey). i switch between headphones and 5.1 a...

with the above setup all clock speed adjustments i make get reverted back to stock after hitting "OK". i think it worked with Riva2.09 but i installed the beta 177.92's at around the same time. anyone else with this prob? searched and couldnt find anyone else with the same prob edit: EVGA...

Heatware just started during my previous FS thread. HW under Somnambulator but only 1 eval so far. eBay under Somnambulator. FS reviews @ DSLReports.com under Somnam. not many reviews because i mostly sell locally. if you have issues with my ratings than dont bother PMing me. Only 1 thing for...

hi, i've been a casual F@H folder for years (for a different group...shhhhhh!). i only run it on 2ndary machines that stay on 24/7 regardless of f@h. recently read an article (CANT FIND IT!) that showed the average Intel Quad-core utilizing enough power 365/24/7 to cost the average consumer...

To get things started, i have 0 heatware and am a forum noobie here. My only references are eBay and DSLReports F/S Forum. i dont do a lot of online trading b/c i like to get it done locally. don't inquire if you have issues with my references. also i do not ship before payment but i will ship...

bunch of my TF2 guildmates are playing this game and i might join em. Funcom lowered the MSRP to $20 which makes this a steal. anyone currently playing or recently quit? i know there's a free and pay version. i'm not opposed to monthly fees at all but would the free version be fun for...

My main rig is plugged into the battery backup plugs of an APC 550 UPS. last few days under heavy stress while gaming it has shut off while beeping. i need to hit the button on the unit to turn the battery potyion back on, then power up my PC. the PC hooked up to the Surge Protection Only...

posted it here since it's more of a technical gaming issue rather than general Gaming. as topic says...Why does it seem that most people leave V-sync off with a powerful machine that gets over 60FPS most of the time? is page-tearing not an issue with LCDs? if page-tearing still occurs...

lots of interest for PC users about this display. few threads here have discussed it, and ive included my thoughts in 1 or 2 of them. thought i'd start a new thread to show some quick pics of it w/ my setup. was postin this on a few forums so i copy-pasted it. this piost is my whole setup...

let me start out by saying this PCP&C 750 was almost spot-on with my prev Abit IX38 QuadGT under same conditions. now with the Formula Maximus, 12v rail is steady 11.82, 5v rail is 4.825 with a .5v ripple, and 3.3 is a steady 3.25. all recorded under full load via OCCT 2.0.0a and 2.0.0b.b1...
