If you're on something like Win 7 and you've been toying with the idea of trying Linux, give Mint 15 with KDE a whirl. I adapted to it fairly quickly. I've been experimenting with it off of a bootable usb drive. I used the Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.3.9 to create it. It's solid for general...

All 960Ts are not going to unlock and run successfully with 6 cores. It would be useful to note any motherboards that you've seen successfully unlock the 960T. So link to any posts you've seen anywhere with that occurring. In addition, if you have a 960T and have unlocked it on your...

I was trying my old Acer 120Hz LCD again tonight with some games. I love how fluid it is. What annoys me is the gamma shift. A color seems accurate in the middle of the screen, too light at the bottom and too dark at the top. The same color will seem a few shades darker or lighter depending...

Watch your real vcore if you have an XFX or Evga 790i board. I discovered I have to set 1.5v to get 1.46v. My Q6600 needs just that to do 3.61GHz. After I upped the voltage to make sure I was actually getting the full 1.46v all stability issues vanished.
