    Realtek 898

    I just got my corsair 1300 today. Took me a while to figure out how to get the surround system working with my realtek 898 and THX Studio Pro, but as soon as i did, wow it is fantastic!!! Batman and BF3 are like different games now. Obviously I cannot compare and say this is better then a...

    Gigabyte Z77-UD5H, when will it be usable?

    I think because it is a super popular board and the more who buy it many more users out there, so higher chance of seeing someone post something. Mine has been rock solid stable for 2+ weeks now, no complaints at all.

    Shootout: Gigabyte ga-z77x-ud5h VS Asus P8Z77-V Pro

    That might be, I think I installed all the drivers that came with the CD except for the Lucid MVP stuff, did not even bother with it. I don't have any USB 3.0 device though to test. The only USB devices I am using is my standard mouse/keyboard.

    Realtek 898

    Yeah I was doing a comparison and the Realtek 898 comes with Creative X-Fi fidelity M2 software including THX Studio Pro I am just going to go with the Corsair 1300 analog and if it does not sound good then I guess I will add a sound card. Thanks everyone!

    Shootout: Gigabyte ga-z77x-ud5h VS Asus P8Z77-V Pro

    I have been running UD5H for about 2 weeks now since Ivy was released along with i5 3570k in it and it has been rock solid stable on BIOS F6, no issues whatsoever, no lockups, freezes or anything. I am extremely happy with this board I would say it is one of the best I have used in a really...

    Realtek 898

    To be honest it not the price of the soundcard, I just did not want to worry about another piece of hardware especailly if i already got onboard. I would rather go the USB route if the onboard will not cut it. But I really only use this machine for games, no movies, or music, so really trying...

    Realtek 898

    So I recently upgraded to a Z77 that has Realtek 898 on board and heard the 898 is one of the best onboard audio. I only care about audio for gaming and was looking to get a headset with mic. From what I have been reading if you don't have a dedicated sound card, you should get a USB one...

    Asus RMA=Unacceptable and Appalling

    yeah from what i read on multiple forums ASUS RMA is the worst out of all the mobo manufacutreres. http://www.customerservicescoreboard.com/Asus Take a look at all those negative reviews from RMA. I don't get how they are the Top mobo. I am looking at either Gigabyte or MSI for my next mobo.

    Memory for Ivy Bridge

    For a Z77 board and going to get Ivy, since memory now supports I think much higher, is it better to get say DR 2133 or is that still a waste?

    Mine finally shipped from EVGA should be here in a few days. Is the reason such shortage because something to do with yields of 28nm? I read something about that a few days ago.

    GTX 680 In Stock Thread

    Only reason I want to go EVGA is can do cross shipping, don't think galaxy can do that. I have some time to wait it out...I am not building my system until end of April when ivy is released so for now if I do get the card great...but it will be bottlenecked by my E8400..LOL

    Anyone order from Tigerdirect before? I see they have a few cards in, but is it really in stock? Will they just take my money and hold it for a while? Has anyone who ordered from Tigerdirect got the card? Was it shipped properly in good packaging?

    Yeah I missed the amazon..even though pay tax would only put it around $550 which is doable. That site looks sketchy no?

    GTX 680 In Stock Thread

    I am really hoping newegg or evga gets it in stock so I don't have to pay tax, I originally budgeted $500 for video card, that will put me closer to $600 with tax.

    Thanks for the suggestion of the X6 Elite I think I will go with that one, watching video looked so easy to install and seems to perform well enough for me and not super expensive.

    Easy to install fan/heatsink?

    Thanks! The NHU21P says compatible with LG-1156 not 1155? Is there a difference? Ivy and Sandy are 1155 right?

    Easy to install fan/heatsink?

    Which one you would recommend that is very easy to install for someone who has large hands? This will be for a i2500k or maybe one of the new ivy bridge. A lot of them look very difficult, and I am not planning on overclocking a lot. Any recommendations?

    Asus VE258Q

    Anyone know the best settings to use in terms of brightness/contrast and color? I just got this recently and it is amazing, but out of the box it is so bright after a while hurts my eyes. Is there a good calibration software tool out there?
