    Soundcards. Do they actually matter?

    Well as the title states above! Firstly I have to honestly say that I don't actually have any high end DACs, amps or anything. I'm merely running some Z-2300s straight to my onboard and I've got a pair of M50s for late night gaming/music. I'm just wondering do cheap (or even expensive...

    Is it worth getting a soundcard?

    Well I've picked up a pair of ATH-M50's and I'm wondering, as the title says, if its worth getting a sound card. They don't really need more powerful amplification (my phone drives them to ear killing levels, same with onboard) and I'm wondering if I'll hear a improvement in audio with a sound...

    BIOS flashing improves OC results?

    Well I'm just wondering, do you guys think/or have experienced a bios flash on my P8Z68 V. Pro will improve my overclocking performance? I'm currently on the pre-release bios (0221) >.> and I'm thinking about going to the beta bios however I've had no problems with the pre-release so far.

    How accurate are voltage monitoring software?

    Well, like the title says. I'm too pansy to go buy a multimeter and solder vcheck points onto my board so, I have to use software :P Its my first time overclocking and right now I'm trying for as little voltages as possible and I'm worried CPU-Z HWInfo may or may not be giving incorrect...

    LinX & low voltage overclocking problem.

    Well, I'm trying to do 4.3ghz (2600k) at around 1.2-1.208 volts with both speedstep and c1e enabled and LinX keeps giving me stop errors after exactly 3 mins and 12 seconds every time. The usual thing pops up indicating GFLOPS rating and all that for 1 iteration but a few seconds after it...

    Caviar black clicking/twanging?

    Well I've got a brand new 2TB caviar black drive and whenever its idle, about every 6-10 seconds or so it makes a soft click or metallic twang. SMART says everything is okay, and so does the WD Diagnostic stuff. It doesn't make the clicking sound when doing something like the extended test...

    HX850 coil whine?

    Well I'm just wondering if a bit of coil whine on the PSU (I've got a corsair HX850 as title says) is normal. When my system is up, I can't hear the coil whine at all, through the noise of my (quiet) fans and I'm not sure if its even there. However whenever my PC is off, but the PSU is on...

    P8Z68 V-Pro Auto overvolting?

    Well I just finished my first build ever! :D I'm just kind of concerned about the mobo overvolting my CPU. I haven't touched any overclocking settings and I just enabled X.M.P settings for my RAM in the bios and the ASUS board, according to CPUZ, when on load, puts all four cores to 3.8Ghz...

    Z68, worth it?

    I'm probably going to be doing my first build ever (yay) and I'm just wondering if its actually worth getting a Z68 motherboard. I'll probably be doing mainly gaming and I'd like to be OCing a bit but the idea of having an onboard GPU and being able to use it, not just wasting silicon for the...

    How adequate is a 750W Dell (Delta)?

    Well I'm just wondering about my 750w Dell PSU (Delta OEM) and how much can it actually handle. It doesn't have many PCIe connecters (2 x 6 pin) and I'm wondering if I can use adapters on it safely for a card which requires 8 pins like a GTX 580 or 6970 and/or do some overclocking with it.
