    **High pitch noise**

    Try popping the side off and using a paper towel tube on your ear to focus the sound, moving it around to different components. It sounds like coil whine from parts resonating from certain electrical frequencies. Most often it comes from PSU or mobo. If new, it can be possible to get an rma...

    DVI vs HDMI

    For general use: hdmi is a smaller connector that just plugs in - no screws or such, with easily obtainable long cables so you can not worry too much about monitor/case proximity as far as speeds go afaik: reg dvi/ hdmi : anything up to 1080p 60hz dvi dual link : anything more than that

    Just Terrible News from AMD! No Competition = No Incentive for Development!

    The best way Intel and nVidia can screw with AMD is to keep them locked into an arms race. they dream of the PC version of the cold war nuke-fest that bankrupted the USSR. With massive amounts of R&D cash at either company, AMD cant keep up. But there is a niche between the juggernauts in a...

    Bummer Buy - Where to go from here?

    Yeah 21 days to wait before I can even file is terrible. Plus no idea whether or not it was ever included in the first place, putting me up as the potential perpetrator of defrauding the US Mail over an already broken thing
