Hi All -- I'm looking for some recommendations on what I should be looking at to resolve this BSOD issue I've got. Below is the background, as well as the options I'm considering. Background: I built a 2700X-based PC a few years ago that's run like a champ until recently, when I started getting...

In for this! Time to build my new system. Now I just need literally everything else.

Any chance anyone's used this monitor with a an 480 to see if they get the 23-144 Hz range over HDMI 2.0?

Looking at the various TP Link routers as an upgrade... On Amazon I can get the C7 for $90, the C8 for 110, and the C9 for $130. This would be for an apartment that usually has 3 computers connected, 3-4 cell phones, a NAS box, and a smartTV streaming Netflix. The old, simple g router...

I'm using a DVI cable. Think I should get a displayport cable and give that a shot? I've got a glossy version. Edit: Is this the cable you're recommending?

Anyone ever solve this issue? This seems to happen to me once or twice a week, except turning the monitor off and on doesn't solve it. I just usually have to wait 10-15 minutes and everything comes back up like normal. Power supply issue? Do I need to get the monitor serviced? Maybe hope for new...

I'm having a weird network issue with my P8Z77-V Pro. Every time I reboot, my computer doesn't see the Intel NIC (I think it's "failed to start, code 10"). It sees the WiFi fine, just not the wired connection. If I reinstall the Intel Driver (latest ProWinx64 from Intel website), the NIC pops...

I just bit on this on a semi-whim as I was picking up some stuff at Microcenter. Haven't gotten back to my desktop to check it out, but I do have a question -- can I get full resolution off of an HDMI cable, or do I need to use the DVI cable?

I think you mean $320....

I don't think you understand what kind of data we're talking about. I can shoot 8 GB of photos in a couple hours. When I take a trip I usually come back with 12-24 GB of photos. If there's a free backup website that handles that, by all means! I also don't know what you mean by the type of...

That was the most tempting deal for me too, but I feel like a 7950 at $285 AR is probably more bang for the buck, if you don't have a clear preference between red and green...

Are you talking about 7950s or 7970s? I think that XFX card is a 7970, not a 7950.

aww, nothing special for us [H] folks?

Thoughts on a GTX 670 at $330 AR vs a 7950 at $285 AR? I think I'd be leaning towards the 7950 for the ~$50 difference...

Mine arrived... waiting to get the rest of the system components before breaking into it tho

why would the Kingston ram harm his PC?

Hmm --- so maybe I don't need the software. I want the burner so I can store photos on BD instead of DVD. I've got a 55" TV that I'll use when I want to watch movies :)

Do I need the software to burn blu ray disks? Or just to play back blu ray movies?

That one doesn't appear to come with software...

Not sure if there's a better place for this thread, so I'm posting here... Working on a new build and considering including a Blu Ray Burner instead of just a BR drive... anything specific I should be considering? I was honestly just gonna pick the cheapest BR burner for sale, but are there...

This sounds pretty similar to the build I'm putting together right now. I have the advantage of paitence, so I'm kinda buying things as the come on sale, but this is what I'm looking at for me: i5 3570k: $230.00 ( Note: you can get this for $170 at MC) Asus P8Z77-V: $179.00 ( Note: you can...

Oh yeah -- the guy who was helping me went above and beyond. I hope he doesn't get yelled at for price matching the $209 SSD to $64....

In my case, "low stock" meant "two that just showed up on a truck". It worked out for me. :)

Did you make sure to give them the 120GB p/n? The 240GB drive is online only.

I just got back from my local staples and they just pulled 2 off a truck... price matched to the website, and accepted the 15 percent coupon! 118 out the door for 2 of them!

My local store shows "low availablity" on the 120GB... I might swing by at lunch time today and see if they have one or two in stock... I'd kind rather have the 240GB, but if I can snag 2 of the 120s I might be satisfied with that...

How are the reviews on these drives? They were OOS last night, but now back in stock... tempting...

I ended up biting -- $60 was the "buy" point I had, and it looks like a solid case. I'm also a fan of the video walk thrus that Newegg does... that was really nice. My new build now has a case, PSU, and RAM. I'll have a CPU and mobo when I hit up Microcenter next weekend, so I'm almost there!

I am keeping an eye for a mid tower case with USB 3.0, and this is one I'm thinking of... any thoughts about this vs. the Carbide 300R?

I've looked but I can't really see much of a spec different between the -V and -V PRO boards... I'd be happy to save the $10 if there's not much of an upgrade. I don't see the UP5-TH on Microcenter's website...

Looks like the rebate is only good for another couple of days though. I bought the kit too... under $50 for 16GB of ram is too good to pass up. Now I've got the RAM and power supply for my new system...

Hey All, So I'm slowly collecting components on sale for my new machine, and I think I'm going to hit a Microcenter near my relatives when I'm in the area for Thanksgiving. I'd like to take advantage of their extra $40 discount when I pick up my 3570k, so I'm looking at some of my...

Newegg has the 16GB (4x4) Patriot Intel Extreme DDR3 1600 kit for sale for $75.99 - $20 MIR, with free shipping. It's the best price I've seen for a 9-9-9-24 kit of 1600 RAM. EDIT: Per Slickdeals, you can get this down to $48AR with coupon code: PATIEM

There are also two other kits 2x8GB kits available for that price from Microcenter...

Any opinions on this monitor?

Anyone familiar with the G.Skill RAM? What are the odds that it would run at more reasonable timings (like 9-9-9-24) at DDR31600 speeds? And for the 660Ti... any thoughts? I was leaning towards a 7950 for my new build, but saving $50 is tempting....

I only see a $25 IR, not a $30 IR on the Mushkin SSD. Anyone know how reliable the Mushkin SSDs are? A lot of interesting deals here -- anyone have any thoughts on the EVGA 660 Ti (comparison to the recent 7950 deals that have been floating around for a bit more?)

Sounds like it's time for another mobo review -- you guys have looked at several versions of the Asus offerings, get some diversity up in here!

I agree with this question -- if I was going to critique the OP, I'd say that you complained about synthetic benchmarks and then made yourself a synthetic benchmark. You've shown that there is a difference in RAM speeds -- but I think the real question is whether or not that difference...

Yeah, any thoughts on this RAM? I was also looking at this G.Skill 16GB set for $69. Any pros/cons to going with 2x8GB vs. 4x4GB, aside from leaving yourself more room with only 2 sticks?
