    What kind of boost will crossfire give me?

    Go with Nvidia. From just making two different systems. THe Nvidia cards had lights on them. The lights turned on when sli was connected properly. This is very helpful and a wishful feature especially since the amd connectors are crap. The Nvidia sli connector bridges seemed more rigid and...

    Crossfire Connectors

    The Half-x case is not wide enough for tri-fire.... WHenever i close the case it applies pressure to the power cables. I just closed the case for fun and now my video card is acting as if its asleep. The problem is... I am in the middle of cloning my hard-drive to move data to a different...

    Crossfire Connectors

    I just put together a Nvidia Rig for my sister. It was sli. The problem is now, I am very jealous of her Nvidia rig. I have tri-fire 7970's and I am jealous of her sli 460's. The reason is: my crossfire connectors are a piece of crap. I have many of them and I can barely get tri-fire connected...

    So in summary so he got up to 4.5 ghz but not stable.. he has a pretty decent ram speed. Using an air cooler but not water cooler. In comparison to my older gen: I was able to pull my FX4100 to 4.2 ghz with watercooling and ram at the speed of 2133mhz or as CPU Z says frequency of 1070...

    PX2370

    I was fooling around too much with the Samsung PX2370... I really wish i could return all Settings to "out of box" when you press reset it does not go back to original settings that was calibrated by factory... it goes to some sort of in the middle settings... It was perfect monitor...
