TY for the replies :) Ill definitely look at that ram and might swap it out. The extra storage would be independent of the RAID 0 (if I even do RAID 0). SSD or HDD on a separate SATA port exclusively for storage and overflow. Was reading this review of this motherboard and now im confused...

Hey all. Making a new gaming rig and have some basic questions about storage and read/write times. While researching m2ssd, I read somewhere that your read/writes will only be as fast as the slowest sata device in your system? Ive not heard this before. It wasnt a highly reputable source it was...

Well im confused. I checked out the latest Creative products on the soundblaster website, and none of them seem to 7.1 channel. All 5.1 channel. Im getting a Razer Tiamat 7.1 headset, so would need a sound card that can output 7.1. Any other suggestions? Im looking for the best performing...

Is my monitor frame skipping? Catleap 2b @ 120hz. Fraps says 120hz, Powerstrip says 120hz, but Im not sure how to interpret this test and from what I have read, it looks like shurcool exe proves that my monitor IS frame skipping? Not sure. Interpretive help appreciated. TY :)...

Do you still have the single 680 Classified for sale with the EVBot, or has everything sold?

New/Used? Ever overclocked? How long in use? Also, do you have any heatware? TY

As stated, I need a socket 775 CPU to repair one of my older computers that I am not interested in completely replacing at this time. Looking for primarily an e8600, or an e8500 but any s775 CPU will be considered. Perfect 26-0-0 Heatware located here...

Interested in purchasing a new gaming monitor. Price is not an issue. Im looking for the best monitor(s) on the market. Trying to decide if I want to go Nvidia surround, or just 1 really good high quality 120hz monitor. Opinions on both sides of this are most welcome. The current new...

Thanks everyone for all of the info. Much appreciated. Reseated the CPU cooler and running about 10C cooler now, with a stable 4.3Ghz OC. Pretty poor OC at this point but I only played around for about 20 mins before I stopped. Alot of catching up to do with the new socket, new chipset, and...

Nah...gonna do that tonight though. Just not familiar with s1155 or ivybridge. I know ivy runs hot but wasnt sure what expected or normal temps were. Last computers I put together and overclocked were all s775 so im out of the loop by a few years....
