I'm getting 4.4GHz at 1.29v (1.28v will get BSOD on stress) with my ram at 3017mhz at 1.35v. (125.7 x 35) Does that seem pretty average? The whole system is on a dual 480 rad/pump custom loop. On a side note the main graphics card will give me a Windows Basic Display driver (gives me some...

Well I had a RX-V571 already in my media center on my TV with my XBone/PS4/WiiU/AppleTV and the rest and I put the receiver on my PC and now I have the option to plug in Analog video sources to my 4k monitors with video upscaling on the 571 through HDMI and with the TX-V675 I have...

Went with the RX-V675 and a set of Energy Take Classic 5.1's- I guess we will see how good they sound on my X-Fi Titanitum HD, thanks for the suggestions :)

I guess it would be rediculous to spend more than 600 or so for computer speakers and a reciever. I did get a Xonar Phobeous because I was going to need 5.1 analog for the ProMedia 5.1 Ultras, but I can return that since the optical is all I need if I get a receiver. Any recommendations on...

I am really torn still. I am thinking the Energy Take Classics because I hear even with the cooling upgrade that the Pro Media Ultra's will most likely still fail in the future. Has anyone had theirs fail? I am also worried that the Energy Take Classic's might look too big on my desk, but I...

So for a few years now I have been using Logitech z906 speakers. They have worked well and have pretty decent audio quality. The set before them I had was the z5500, and I still own them but being military and having to move a few times the movers have really cosmetically ruined the subwoofer...

Here is what I came up with Looks like too much tubing from where I have the pumps/reservoirs I think but the cooling is phenomenal.

I love my XSPC blocks, they idle 23-25c and under load don't go over 33c from what I have seen so far.

So is it possible for the smart stats to be bad and then go back to fine? The intel raid bios isn't saying that it has a smart error anymore and windows is no longer warning me to replace the drive?

Here is the link to the CrystalDiskInfo of the drive. This one says its only caution? I'm confused about what is really going on haha. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2i6gap5e3f1b8db/crystal.jpg

Hey Everyone! I was wondering if there was a way to reset the SMART HDD data. I just bought two of the WD Black 4TB drives, and they were running fine until for some reason the Intel RST driver messed up and windows was not reading the drives correctly. it showed them having 1677.90 GB in...

This is what my build ended up being... XSPC Razor SLI High Flow Bridge (2 Slot) XSPC X79 Rampage IV Motherboard Water Block Set Swiftech MCP655-B 12v Water Pump w/ 3/8" Conversion Kit (317 GPH) Koolance RP-452X2 Dual 5.25" Reservoir Rev 2.0 (Serial or Parallel) for 1 or 2 Pumps (RP-450 /...

I don't have it just yet, hopefully in a few weeks I will have everything for this build.

Hey everyone, I am going to be doing my first real shot at water cooling, and I wanted to run my parts list by some experts to get some advice to see if everything should work together, or if you have recommendations for the build or different parts. I am getting the Corsair 900D, but I have...

Yeah, it works for the 580m, and all the other 6 series GPUs (675 and such)... So lame I can't get it to work before my deployment.

I got a Displayport to Dual Link DVI adapter and it will do 120Hz ($90 bucks!), I just can't enable 3d vision through the driver.

I am going Displayport to Dual Link DVI (with an adapter that has USB power for it), so i can get it to 1080p@120Hz, but I can't enable 3d vision without the driver implementaiton.

Is there a way to enable the drive options for it? I can't seem to find any 680m drivers that will let me turn on 3d on my laptop and it's external display.

Well I just figured out that the DVI output is a single-link DVI port what a dissapointment. Do you think that it would be possible to get a Displayport to Dual Link DVI adapter to get the monitor to run at 120hz? I hear thats what people do with Eyefinity on a single card and 3 monitors since...

I have a 680m in my Sager 9150 and I can't seem to be able to find any drivers for it except for some on a random blogspot site I find googling. Even the offical sager drivers would need to be modified to get them to install. Anyone know where I can find drivers that would support 3d vision...

I just added a third 680 +SC to my tower and I have a 1000w Corsair. I was hoping that it would be good enough considering I have a 3960x and 5 HDDs and a SSD in there as well. It ran crysis 2 a 2560x1600 for an hour straight so I guess it's okay. If I start to get blue screens I am going...

I have 2 Dell u2711's

I got 2 from eVGA the first few days they were out, but now that I want a third for 2560x1440 gaming I can't find any lol. Maybe I should sell them and go for 2x690s for quad sli. That's probably overkill and I can't find a single review of dual 690s in quad sli.

I am trying to get my memory to run at it's rated speed of 1600MHz, but it will always get overclocking failed when I put the DRAM timing to 1600mhz, even if I start to bump the voltage on them up to 1.65 (they are rated 1600mhz @ 1.5v). I am not overclocking the CPU or anything like that and...

It boots no problem witha freshly formatted USB Drive in it...

I tried installing that raid driver, but it does the same thing. When the USB drive plugs in the BIOS automatically makes it the primary boot device, and it says "UEFI: OCZ ATV PMAP". OCZ is just the brand of usb drive, but what is a UEFI or a PMAP?

You mean change the raid driver? I'll try that when I get home. When I set my first boot device to the raid volume in the bio it just gets a boot device now found generic "we can't find your startup disk" message.

Haha yeah it was installed to two 128ssd drives I have in a raid array lol. The USB drive just has one 200mb partition on it and there was a utility on ASUSes driver disc to create raid drivers for the windows install.

Anyone k ow what would be causing an issue like this. Do I have to like install the raid driers off the USB drive into windows? I installed them off the driver disk. Kinda confused on this one.

It took me forever that I had to load a USB stick with the raid drivers in order to install windows 7 on this board on a raid array (never had to do that before). Here is another noob question... Why won't it boot into my windows install without that same USB drive with the raid drivers on...

I got one on Tiger Direct as well, but I don't know if that means they are in stock or not their website doesn't say. Cheaper than the one on Amazon, too!

I am trying to find a place to get the Rampage IV Extreme as well. I was going to go for the Gigabyte, until I saw that it only had 4 slots for ram as compared to ASUS's 8, that and the gun looks really cheesy on there.

Im really disappointed that this never covered SLi with the cards having space between them (the way nVidia recommended). With my experiences with my GTX 285s in SLi this can make a drastic change in the temps of the cards at idle, and under load. Not to mention the way that excess heat could...

I have both the 3008wfp and 2 u2711s. I game primarily on the 3008wfp, don't notice any lag and im into twitch gaming. I use the u2711s mainly for watching blurays and such.

Any reason why dirt 2 would be running all buttery smooth then once in a while lock up for about 1/2-1/4 of a second. It happens more on some tracks than others, but mostly if I start turning up MSAA. The game will get solid FPS in the benchmarks with 8 MSAA/CSAA (50-60fps with Vsync on), but...

My CPU overclocks great after I underclock my ram from 1600 to something below that. If not I will get BSOD. Make sure your DIMM voltage matches the spec for the ram (mine is 1.65v)

It's actually not too bad for a LAN because of the handles it has. I took it to a few myself, didn't mind the weight too much. It's all about the crazy heat that builds up inside it.

I can't believe the drop in temps i got from switching from my Cooler Master Cosmos (wish S sidepanels) to an FT02. My GTX 285's in SLi dropped incredibly. The primary card pushing 2 monitors dropped from about 75 idle to 53 idle. The secondary card only pushing 1 monitor dropped from about...

I built a computer for a customer at Fry's when I was working in their tech department, and after I finished building his I instantly went over and purchased a Cosmos 1000 for myself it impressed me so much. I love the case, but with the amount of hard drives and an SLi setup in mine, the...

It seems to have everything I want in one nice package and later I can add another radiator I have back at home and hook up some VGA waterblocks to it, but until then I just wanna go for the water cooled CPU. I also like how the radiator has stands so I can set it on a shelf I have next to my...
