    Switch from U2410 to Alienware OptX AW2310

    Alright, so DELL has this monitor for $350 for Boxing week sale. Mighty tempting at that price. Thing is I love my U2410. It's beautiful. The only thing I hate is the input lag (srsly). Is it worth it to switch to the AW2310? I do lots of work on my PC hence why I got the Dell. I'm also a IPS...

    Looking for a 8 port RAID-6 card

    I've nailed it down to these two: HighPoint RocketRAID 2320 PCI Express x4 SATA II (3.0Gb/s) RAID Card - $274 Areca ARC-1220 PCI-Express x8 SATA II (3.0Gb/s) Controller Card - $449 The price difference is about $170 so it's pretty substantial. But I care more about long term reliability with...

    Asus DCU 6850 vs XFX 6850 (HD-685X-ZNDC)

    Ok I've been using this X1900GT ever since I sold both my 6950s to take a break from PC gaming and wait out for 28nm cards. But ever since the Steam Sale I picked up a couple of games on the cheap and well, my current card doesn't run many games well at all, even at lower resolution. I even...

    External USB3 dual docking station

    Right now I have the dual slot USB2 BlacX and it works great. Just really slow when you have to move hundreds of gigs and are using both drives at the same time. I've looked at the USB3 version of the BlacX but there's 3 things wrong with it for me: a) it's single slot ... and b) it's too pricey...

    2500K & P8P67-M Pro - Overclock dropping?

    So I was able to get my 2500K to 4.5ghz (45x). 1.38v. Running IBT after a few minutes the clock speed would drop back to stock (3.3ghz) and it would remain that way until I reboot. Any ideas?

    http://techreport.com/articles.x/20190 So us guys with Micro ATX rigs are shafted when it comes to overclocking/multi-gpu? Do I have to go back to Full ATX? That's utter fucking BS.

    New board for new MATX build

    Alright. I decided to start a new build. Getting tired of what I have :) I've already ordered the Lian Li PC-V354B and it should be here next week. I don't keep up with motherboards, so what are some of the best boards for a MicroATX build? I'll be doing SLI/CF on this new system. Haven't...

    Looking for a card

    Hi guys, I picked up the Sony SRS-DB500 2.1 set yesterday, which finally replaced my 8 year old Creative Inspire 5300. I'm using the onboard audio right now, and I feel like the onboard Realtek isn't doing the new set justice. I don't follow the audio industry so I don't know whats good or not...

    Dell DP to DVI and Eyefinity

    Okay I finally got my Dell *Bizlink* DP to DVI-D active adapter today and I'm having issues getting it to work. I'm using 3x Dell 2007FP's. All are connected with DVI. The displayport monitor is the one giving me issues. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get it to work. The computer...

    2007FP Eyefinity

    Does this seem like a good setup? Just wondering since I can get a decent deal for 2 more 2007FPs. It's kinda hard for me to give up my 30" tho since that's just massive real estate right there. Also how would it compare to say 22/23/24" Landscape Eyefinity?

    5870 ... Discolored text problem

    I went from a GTX295 to a Radeon 5870 today. I installed the latest Catalyst 9.12 Hotfix drivers, but I am having some display issues. Text here and there, appear to be discolored, randomly. Instead of trying to explain, take a look at the shot below: Where you are supposed to read "Screen...

    Eyefinity Crossfire ... Triple DVI?

    Okay, so I haven't seen this question come up anywhere... or maybe I haven't looked closely enough. What I do know is that right now to run Eyefinity, you need to use the DVI + HDMI + DP to run a triple display. Therefor, is it possible to run 3 displays via DVI on a Crossfire setup? I...

    OMG I failed!

    So last week I placed an order for a brand new AMD system. I actually haven't built any AMD systems since like, when I bought a A64 X2 3800+ when those first came out. I stuck with that until I picked up a q6600 G0, and from then on I've only built systems around Intel Core2/i7 cpus. But now...

    Acer Revo & Gaming?

    I'm looking at getting a small system, that could double at a HTPC, but can also game. World of Warcraft is really the only PC game I play, so I'm wondering what's it like to play WoW on the ION? Slow, laggy? I have a DELL 2007FP that will be the main monitor. So what's it like to play wow at or...

    i7 OC help

    Okay, so far the oc with the most stability I have got it at is 185bclk and 1.325v (set in bios). I have not changed any other voltages at this speed. HT always enabled. I can POST and boot/use Windows 24/7 just fine at 3.8/190bclk, same voltage. I have tried slightly higher voltages, but not...

    i7 920 build: Here we go...

    My order of the i7 920, 6GB G.Skill DDR3-1600, TRUE 1366 kit and the Gigabyte EX58-UD4P arrived this morning. My excitement turned to disappointment when I realized I overlooked something: the Nforce RAID array isn't compatible with Intel Matrix. As I don't have any spare HDDs lying around...

    New mobo or i7?

    Right now I'm running a q6600 g0 @ 3285mhz (9x365FSB) at 1.36v, on a EVGA 680i LT motherboard. I'm 100% positive that it's the motherboard/chipset that is holding my overclock back. I can't get Windows to boot at all above 370FSB, no matter what voltages I try, and I've tried as high as 1.6v...
