I currently have 3x1440p and a Samsung 1080p TV hooked up to my PC. The Samsung is through my old 780 Ti, since my 1080 Ti does not have HDMI. My ignorance on TV technology is staggering, but I had some pretty specific questions I was hoping someone with knowledge could answer. 1. Will my...

4770k, stock with Hyper 212 Evo (just installed) 1080 Ti Founder's 780 Ti (had to keep it for my Qnix, 1080 Ti FE has no DVI) 16 GB GSkill 3 SSDs, 1 internal storage drive, 2 externals 3x1440p displays Corsair HX850 etc. This setup has been fine for a while, the last thing I installed hardware...

I'm going to get a 1080 Ti and also want to get some new monitors to go with it, but I am pretty ignorant when it comes to monitor stuff, I'm not sure if what I have can work with what I want. Currently have (780 Ti): 1x Qnix2710LED - Dual DVI only. 2x Syncmaster P2370 - Both panels only have a...

I consider myself a pretty computer savvy guy, but I am at a complete loss here. My mom has a laptop that she uses for basically Facebook and has had it for a while. We use it via HDMI to watch movies on the living room TV pretty often. When running Twitch streams in Source, it tends to go...

I run 3 monitors with a 780 Ti. One is Dual DVI (1440p), one is DVI, and one is using an HDMI to DVI cable (HDMI into the GPU). I unplugged just the HDMI cable to plug it into my Wii U and I lost the DVI monitor, it gave a no input signal. Is there some limitation I don't know about or way...

I run 3 monitors (1440 and 2x1080) and when running video on Twitch or YT fullscreen while a game is running, the game lags noticeably. Framerate doesn't drop that much, but it's very clearly causing unplayable lag. Is there a way to prevent or remedy this, or is it unavoidable?

I have a 780 Ti @ +220 core. I have never had a crash or artifact or issue if any kind in any game. However, when I play Path of Exile, after some time, all 3 of my monitors will go grey with only the top 50 pixels or so being visible. My screens will flash and glitch out, though stuff is...

*Please read this whole post before replying. I've had this problem with my rig for half a year now, and I've had enough. If someone can help me figure out and solve this problem, I'm willing to compensate. PROBLEM: My computer will either hard lock or reboot itself, randomly, during gaming...

I recently upgraded my CPU, RAM and Mobo since I was on 3 year old hardware, but also because I was having random reboots and other really janky stuff (some USB ports on the mobo wouldn't work, pretty sure it was dying). Things looked fine and everything was smooth, I did some OCing but was...

I recently had some computer issues with my computer hard booting randomly and have since upgraded to what you see in the sig. Now that my computer doesn't crash I'm trying to dial in my GPU OC. I get straight crashes at +240 so I was on +230 for a day of gaming with no issues. However today...

A day or two ago a small amount of Rum ended up getting spilled on the top left of my Das. I wiped it up immediately and it seemed like little to no liquid even got below the keycaps. This morning I've noticed that my left CTRL, Tilde, F1, F2, Home, PG UP, and a few other keys are causing the...

My 780 Ti won't go into 3D clock speed with Warcraft open, even when I'm sometimes getting 30 FPS (and 30% CPU usage). Is there any way to force 3D speeds at all times, or at least force it to use them in certain applications? I'm using a 780 Ti @ +200 Core and 2500k @ 4.2.

So... a while ago I noticed some of my USB ports seem finnicky. My mouse was drifting and I swapped it to another USB port which prevented that. Then I tried my headset in the same port the mouse was in, and I'd get crazy static and random disconnects of the headset (G35's). I sort of just...

In 64p Conquest I notice FPS drops to the 40s in some maps (Ultra preset, and particularly Dawnbreaker, Zavod and Shanghai). My Ti is @ 1260 core and I'm trying to figure out if this is normal or if I'm being bottlenecked (2500k @ 4 Ghz) by something. EDIT: Sorry I meant to mention BF4 in the...

I have a weird issue I wasn't really able to Google since I've never heard anything like it. I have a Qnix 2710 and two 23" 1080 Samsungs, this only happens on the Qnix. Say I have a browser open, and then I open anything that has dark areas, like a video or even Unity (this happens in the...

I can't really track down what the problem is, but I've realized there actually is one. I would really like to figure out what my bottleneck is or what the issue is. 2500k @ 4 Ghz Asus P8P67LE 2x4GB (running Single Channel because my CPU fan covers the first 2 RAM slots <_<) 780 Ti @...

I have a 2500k @ 4.2 on an Asus P8P67LE, a 2 week old 780 Ti and a brand new Corsair HX850 PSU. When I added the 780Ti I did your standard overclocking and found that +230 was a stable core. In Precision I had KBoost off and the added voltage only on .12. Any time I'd go higher on the core...

EDIT: Alright so my original problem was voltage and such not taking, as it turns out MSI Kombustor doesn't make the card sweat, but running Heaven did. When I ran Heaven the voltage increase showed up as well as the higher clocks. Every time I get a crash it's a hard lock, like a sound loop...

I have a 2500k I've been running for some time at around 4.1 Ghz with an Arctic Cooler Freezer 13. I'm on an Asus P8P67LE. In the BIOS my only options for voltage are via offset, and I'm running at +0.025, CPU-Z is showing 1.38 - 1.39 vcore. I plan on putting this CPU on water soon, and...

I haven't been into the hardware scene during a Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, but do the newer cards (290x/780TI) typically see price drops during these sales or will it mostly be the mid range lines?

I have a 580 now and 2 1080 monitors, I'm planning on an upgrade but I'm having troubles really deciding what options to go with. I'm upgrading to likely a 780TI or 290x and I'm upgrading so games like BF4 will run like silk on Ultra (I get ~30-40 on Ultra right now, running High for 60)...

I have a 2500k and plan on getting a new mobo along with a new single GPU upgrade, and I'm wondering what the general consensus is for upgrade paths. I could get a single PCI-E mobo and buy another $500+ single GPU in 2-3 years, or I could get a SLI/CF mobo now and in 2 years I may be able...

Current PC: 2500k @ 4.2, 580 @ 850, 8GB RAM. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming, some programming. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $1500 top end, but a little flexible. Tax and shipping not included. I will be...

So I have a 580 and just got a second monitor. It's identical to my first, and is set up the same. Both are running 1920x1080 @ 60Hz both in my NV CP and on the monitors themselves. When on the desktop, I notice there is sort of a jittery/lag effect that happens seemingly randomly. I'm new...

This is the weirdest thing I've ever experienced, if anyone could help me solve it that would be great. Last night I was browsing around and listening to something on YouTube using my headphones. I accidentally closed out of Chrome and re-opened the window. When the audio started back up, it...

I had one stick of 4GB at 1333Mhz running perfectly. I bought Corsair Vengeance 1866 CL9 2x4GB to run in dual channel, but the motherboard sets it automatically to 1333. What do I need to change in my motherboard BIOS in order to get it running at 1866? OS: Win 7 Professional 64bits Mobo...

Recently I've had some artifact issues in games, they seem to go on/off and I have been waiting to RMA my video card. Yesterday the power in the house went out completely, then flickered, then came back on ~10 mins later. I booted up my PC and ran into "Data in EC or EC Flash might be...

Starting today I've been getting this issue. Never had a problem playing League of Legends, Skyrim, or BF3. Today, my display driver crashes, no big deal, it happens sometimes. I play a game of League of Legends and get that line-ish artifacting from characters. That's weird I think, and...

I have an Asus DirectCUII 580 @ 900/whatever (from what I understand memory OC is near useless and hard to test stability, so I just put it at 2150). Right now it's set to 1.38v, with temperatures at low 70's on load (gogo 100% fan speed!). I'd like to get it higher, but I'm not sure how...

Just got this board with a 2500k and new video card/RAM. Installed all the latest drivers, and repaired the LAN driver, but it's still causing issues. I'll randomly get booted offline (which has never previously happened), which requires a restart of the adapter to fix. I also show regular...

I have a 2500k on a P8P67 and I want to make sure it isn't operating outside normal numbers. I had a hard time OCing it to begin with, as I found the Asus BIOS to be slightly confusing (and I have an LE, so no direct CPU voltage control). Idle temps are around 40c, with voltage showing ~1...

I just installed an Asus P8P67 LE with a 2500K and 2x4GB DDR1600 (XMS) and a Arctic Cooler Freezer 13. Old system was an AMD x3 720, DDR2. PSU is an Antec 650W, 2x74GB Raptors and a 1TB on SATA. GTX 580, IDE CD drive. I uninstalled the mobo and installed the Asus along with the CPU, HSF...

I'm about to change from an old x3 720 to a 2500k with mobo/RAM ugprades (obv). Is a Windows reinstall avoidable? I'd rather not have to back everything up and reinstall all my programs, but after some searching I can't find a solid answer or method to do so. I have a 1TB as storage and...

I just bought an Asus 580 Direct CUII today and after a while OCing I did a Vantage benchmark. I am a little confused, as I see most people getting 26k+ on GPU score with 580's. Is my CPU bottlenecking me? 3DMark Score: 15199 3DMarks Graphics Score: 23008 CPU Score: 7531 x3 720 @ 3 Ghz, 8GB...

I'm going to be getting a 1055T (probably after the new line comes out, hopefully a nice price drop will come with it) and I'm using a Gigabyte MA770-UD3 (Rev. 1). I'm using 4GB (2x2) sticks of DDR2 6400, Corsair (I believe it's the Ballistix line). Since the multiplier is locked, am I...

I'm looking to upgrade my PC in line with the release of BF3, so sometime before October. I've been out of the hardware loop for some time now and am just looking for some general advice. I'm currently using a x3 720, not unlocked, on a Gigabyte MA-770 UD3 with 4GB of RAM and a Sapphire...
