I have my i5 750 at 4.0 using 21 X 190 and testing it for 5 minutes at certain voltages My first errors were hardware detection errors, so an increase of DRAM voltage from 1.65 to 1.67 and loosening memory timings seems to have fixed that. My second errors were rounding errors, and i put my...

For anyone wondering how good of a gpu the mobile Radeon 6770m is, I made a short video of me running Bad Company 2 at medium settings. The game runs quite well on this gpu, on FRAPS, which didn't display FPS in the video for some reason, I was getting 50 - 70 FPS. I suffered one severe drop...

This is the first pair of headphones I owned and I love them. The 7.1 surround sound works great. These are a wireless pair of headphones for those that don't know. However it seems when I move my head at certain angles I hear clicking sounds. To be honest it sounds almost exactly like a...

After hearing about how crappy drivers are with crossfire, Im thinking about just overclocking my 5850 rather than getting a second Are there any high quality aftermarket coolers made that fit the 5850?
