    U2412m problem when using DP

    Is this caused by a bad display port cable? The monitor works fine on DVI-D. Ordered a DP cable from ebay and I get this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZcGMs9gd5o Sometimes I do get the monitor to display correctly (keep tinkering between DVI-D and DP), but then at the next restart it starts...

    ASUS 7970 directcu II voltage locked?

    I have bought the ASUS 7970 directcu II. However, from what I can tell the voltage is locked I am basically having the exact same limit as hardcop review here http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/03/11/asus_hd_7970_directcu_ii_video_card_review/3#.UjMwBz9N1I0 My maximum is 1180mV, with the...

    MSI 7950 coil whine

    So looks like I am unlucky and my brand new MSI 7950 came with coil whine :/ Not only it whines, but it's very loud. Distractingly loud. It only whines in games basically. And it is not dependent on FPS. Some games like World of Tank will whine at 60-70 FPS. Tried some tests on Kombustor and...

    MSI z87 gd65 vs gd45 (40$ difference)

    I am set on buying a MSI Z87 board. While I was contemplating on getting the GD65 (I don't want to skimp on motherboards or PSU's), I noticed how the GD45 is 40$ cheaper. AFAIK, in terms of performance, the GD65 has 12 phases while the GD45 8 phases. I don't really know what exactly they mean...

    Gigabyte vs MSI 7950

    I'm trying to decide between MSI Radeon HD 7950 Twin Frozr III 880MHZ 3GB 1250MHZ GDDR5 DVI HDMI 2xMini DP DX11 PCI-E Video Card and Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950 Windforce 900MHZ 3GB 5GHZ GDDR5 DVI HDMI 2XDP PCI-E Video Card Here are my points (please take into consideration I live...

    Gf 760 or AMD 7950

    I would've liked to be able to get that MSI for that price. Unfortunately being in Canada, the only available deal currently is on the Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950 Windforce for 245$ after 25$ mail in rebate. Under reviews it does perform slightly better, is quieter and OC's equivalently to the...

    G.Skill DDR-2133 CL11 or DDR-1600 CL9 for gaming

    For gaming, I have the option of going 2x4GB G.Skill Ripjaws X F3 DDR-2133 CL11 for 73 CAD or 2x4GB G.Skill Ripjaws X F3 DDR-1600 CL9 for 67 CAD First, not sure if the extra clock over latency is actually improving performance. Also not sure if ram speeds in itself improve gaming...

    Gf 760 or AMD 7950

    7970 is still 100 $ or so more expensive. If I'd consider that, of consider waiting for the 9000 series. But I really don't want to spend more than 300$ and the 7950 will pretty much play anything I'll throw at it. I do come from a 4870 and honestly I can still play the new titles at medium or...

    Gf 760 or AMD 7950

    Thanks for the suggestions. That MSI does look very good. Unfortunately being in Canada means I wouldn't be able to take advantage of the rebate from newegg. Checking pcpartpicker looks like us prices are roughly 40 cheaper. Ncix does seem to be having the gigabyte 7950 on sale for 245 at the...

    Gf 760 or AMD 7950

    Trying to decide which to get. I was debating waiting for the AMD 9000 series but I am realising that even the 9950 (equivalent of 7950) will prolly cost ~400$. I believe the best performance/price is with 7950 (or the newer 760 series) for the years to come. Now, at the moment I am a bit of...

    Unmanaged vs RoHS for NAS

    I currently have a WRT54GL router, which of course only has speeds of up to 100mbps. I am looking to buy a switch to attain 1000mbps speeds on my network, and be able to use 1000mbps speed when transferring and streaming from my NAS (buying a new router is way to expensive and I don't have...

    Synology DS1812+ or DS413J

    The cheapest prices I could find were on Amazon.com for DS1812 @ 929$ USD. For DS413J at NCIX for 439$ CAD but includes a 2TB WD Red. I want to pull the trigger now. I'm inclining to get the DS1812 from amazon.com unless I can find a better deal for the DS1812 or DS413J in contrast with the...

    Trying to troubleshoot graphics problem, Help!

    Main culprit would be GPU. As the above poster said, try to swap it with another and see if that fixes it. Also, did you upgraded your drivers before it started acting up? Maybe you might want to roll them back, see if that fixes it if that's the case.

    If you have anything OC'ed then revert it to stock. BIOS is either motherboard, CPU or RAM. Start replacing those :/

    8GB 1600 MHz vs 12/16GB 1333 MHz

    When you are comparing the MHZ, you should look into timings. Actual size has nothing to do with performance, unless all it's occupied, at which point the HDD is used to swap files.

    Kudos to Corsair's RMA department!

    OP, did you had to pay for shipping to them? or was 2 way pre-paid?

    Trying to decide what psu to get, any advice would be appreciated

    Corsair. I have 1 and its rock solid. Most of their units, if not all, have 1 V12 rail, which is what you should look for.

    is 2GB VRAM enough eyefinity

    2GB is plenty, at least for a few more years
  37. M

    Does this look like a video card issue?

    First thing to do is like other said try another card and see if the issue still persists. If it is, then change to another slot, if you have 1.

    WD20EARS fuure prices...

    Hi, So I managed to get a WD20EARS for 63$ on sale. I haven't picked it up yet, and I am wondering if maybe the prices will go even lower. I honestly don't really need the storage right now, and seeing how the 3TB's are fastly approaching 100$ or lower, I have my doubts now that this was a good...

    SSD brand, most reliable

    I know most SSD are fast, most of them with very comparable speeds. But who has the best reliability? They are suppose to be as reliable as ram and bla bla bla but I see SSD's failing left and right, much more so than HDD's. So should I get an Intel? Corsair? Maybe a Kingston? (these brands pop...
