    HDMI vs Optical

    I'm getting a decent Pioneer receiver tomorrow or the day after, Dwolla withdrawals permitting. Not entry-level but not expensive either. It does HDMI sound, 3D passthrough, etc. My GTX 275 lacks HDMI out, so I'm going to be using optical out from the PC instead. It's going to be hooked up to a...

    Inexpensive 5.1? :D

    Some recent sales have had me considering some surround speakers for my bedroom PC / workstation, as the room will soon receive a new, much larger desk and other rearrangements. I have an AVR and an optical output on my PC. They're all $400-$600 speaker sets, but are on sale for $200 or less. I...

    I give up [i7 920]

    I've tried OCing mine, I ran a working 3.30GHZ OC for a long time with very slight instability (BSOD randomly after several days of uptime no matter how much load the system was under. Could prime95 / linx for 72 hours or just leave it sitting, would still BSOD a little after three whole days...

    I think I accidentally my RAM.

    All half of it. Got new RAM today. Passed tests and worked like a charm for hours, then the BSOD came ... then another one immediately after rebooting .. then another, and well, you get it. Looked in the case and the heat spreader on one of the new sticks had peeled back and curved away, and the...

    Best fans for H50?

    I am currently using the H50 stock fan (alone since I do not have a paired (equal rpm / st. pressure) fan to run off the same line). I am finding that my cooling is not adequate for my tastes. I am hitting 66-70C loads in LinX with a 4GB problem size. Seal is IC 7, though I did break it once to...

    Where to get Roccat hardware?

    I have been looking at some Roccat hardware recently and it's all quite interesting, but what would be the best way to obtain Roccat products in The States? Google shopping only turns up EU retailers and whatnot.

    Portable Wireless Mouse?

    I'm looking for a good portable mouse to compliment my new U43JC laptop. At first I looked at the Razer Orochi and went, "Holy crap, this is perfect." Then I started reading up on it and its problem that it goes to sleep after 3 seconds of inactivity and takes 1-2 secs to wake back up. WTF...

    Bad i7 bin?

    My D0 has always run a bit .. hot, and when downvolting to 1.125V core it seemed to run pretty well, even up to 3.4GHZ, but I was getting some BSODs, so I got rid of my OC and set Vcore back to Auto. Now, some tell me that Auto follows the processors onboard VID. is this true? If so, my chip...

    New Drives = Dead P6T?

    Well, yesterday I did a very basic set of procedures. First I installed my two new WD6400AAKS hard drives. Second I did some cable management and checked that I had plugged everything in. Third I removed my Corsair H50, polished off the HS and CPU surfaces with a micro-fiber cloth and...
