Doubtful. If they'll run it then you can try to see if there is any noticeable difference, but I wouldn't count on it. Regardless of what we are lead to believe, a 60hz monitor *SHOULD* look the same as a 120hz, or higher. There are exceptions of course, but a lot of factors determine how we...

Agreed with this as well. Only a few people realize the differences between the panels, and for (most) TN vrs IPS monitors, there isn't must of a contest for image quality. My T.V. is exactly that. I bought it in the states and picked it up since you can't ship here, and Canada has a poor...

Bahaha, weird. I'm in Canada too and most people don't realize how fantastic Dell really is. IPS panel, 0 dead pixels, free shipping. Can't beat it man. So were you thinking of getting the 30" for photo editing? Hence part of the reason for this post.

I agree with you pretty much in all aspects. I use a 23" Dell Ultrasharp (also IPS panel), and a 560ti. If I was using your monitor I'd likely just get a 580 or a more powerful single card... it really just seems to function more smoothly overall (even though i get random driver crashes probably...

Another for this. Also the CM Gemini is supposed to be good. http://ncix.com/products/?sku=66104&vpn=RR-G524-18PK-R1&manufacture=COOLERMASTER

Only way to find out is to re-download drivers and use it / stress it. I've had cases where broken drivers were actually a defective card. Yep, tried it with a different card of the same model and it worked fine.... but that's beside the point. It's more then likely a non-issue, just give'r a shot.

Pretty much sums it up. This is what my proc is at too :)

No you don't. As long as you have a PCI-Express slot you can use any video card with any chip. That being said, you should look into the 6950/6970 (unless you can find the 6850/6870 really cheap), since they are a bit higher in performance.

What about the stock Vcore? I didn't see what it was in the article 1.25v like previous I7's? or 1.2v Just wondering.

What was the stock Vcore was for the chips again? I read 1.2ish, but wasn't sure on the exact number. Is it 1.2v? Or 1.25v ( the same as my i7 920 ) Either way, I'm definitely going to stick with a 3.4ghz 920 and a gtx260. Solid but a bit aged.

Did I miss it ? haha.

It's preference really. I'm sure you read the review already. I've had my i7 920 and p6t deluxe since near it's release date and couldn't be happier. Then again, the 860 is almost the same price Canadian as the 920, with the same specs, and a faster starting clock. Not to mention motherboards...

Possibly, but even so, the price of the Coolermaster heat sink is rediculously cheap. I would buy it over almost anything at this price point.

Random post. Everyone seems to be buying heat sinks like the Noctua and the TRUE-120 for their cpu's, or complaining about no bracket being available. I own the 1366 TRUE-120, but I would still buy this over anything on the market if I got a new cooler. Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus It can be...

I can't imagine how beastly a 6 core processor will be with HT for rendering / cpu intensive applications. Almost the same as going from a fast dual-core to a quad, probably not worth it for gaming.
