Current Situation: I was all ready to move from Win7 i7 920 @ 3.2 GHz Asus P6tDeluxV2 to 4930k but decided to bail on it and wait for Haswell-e 8 core instead. Issues: I am a 3d artist and swapping between multiple open apps with large files is not very snappy. I also re-save large files...

I have been trying to squeeze more life out of my i7 920 CPU and have overclocked it from 3.2 GHz to 4GHz. What I am not understanding is if I successfully overclocked it to 4GHz or not. Cinebench and Everest say 3.8 GHz. Real Temp, CPU-Z and Piriform Speccy say 4GHz. So what is it? Whatever...

So I have an i7 920 excellent bang for buck over clocked to 3.5 GHz system with 12GB RAM. I am in a field that uses up all available cores 100% without any problem. This system still works ok but I could definitely do with more processing power. I am planning to relegate the system for...

Ok so my PC had Windows 8 on it, I decided to update it to 8.1. All went fine but since the upgrade my PC only starts if my router in ON ie. my PC is online :eek: Also if I turn the router off windows restarts. Wtf is going on?

I have 2 year old 30" Dell Display 2560 x 1600 res. I want to connect two PCs and be able to switch between them. Do KVM switches at reasonable price for 2560 X 1600 resolution that actually work exist? On dell site there is one from Belkin for $100 but people who use it on 30" monitor get...

I have a HP LP2475w 24-inch (1920 x 1200) S-IPS panel monitor. It has developed a black effect on it. Anyway I contacted HP and everything went smoothly and they agreed to send a replacement to me a as I am covered by the warranty period. Well I got the confirmation e-mail which says -...

I have a brand new Gainward GTX260. I have a feeling that I might be doing something wrong. The card has two six pin connector holes (as seen in the attached image). One has a "sound" symbol next to it. Do both need to be connected for it to power up or only the one without the "sound" symbol? I...

Ok so my pig I mean rig uses Tyan K8WE MOBO, 2x Dual core Opteron 285s, PC Power & Cooling 1KW PSU. My rig is purely for 3d and design work and no games. My current video card is GeForce 7900GTX which powers a Dell 30" (2560x1600) screen and a 20" screen (1600x1200). In dual view mode the...

Once in a while when I turn my LCD ON I see the screen all greenish and messed up with vertical lines and stuff. It stays like that until I restart few times. I have dual screen set up and the other screen connected to the same video card does not show this problem. If I do a "print screen"...

In Europe the the latest Dell3007 HC* has been made approx. $400-$500 cheaper :eek: $490 in my neck of the wood. Dell 2407 goes back up in price btw. I say 3007HC is such a steal at current prices. Grab em if you can :D

Man I keep changing my mind! I have a 30" Dell HC primary monitor and a 17" Acer AL707 in dual display mode. I want to replace the Acer with a new display. So some questions (I don't play any games and this is purely for my CAD/design work)- 1- Would Dell 2407 be an improvement on the...

Just out of curiosity and to get a comparison. What kind of display panel do Dell Precision workstation laptops use? Are they S-PVS or S-IPS? OR something else? Normally the specs say- Wide Aspect (choice of WUXGA or WSXGA+) display What does that mean? :D

Any 1920x1200 S-IPS with non-reflective coating + portrait rotation? Well are there any such LCDs? :) P.S- Typo I meant 1920x1200 and not 1900x1200 :-)

So I have a 3007WFP-HC. I need a second monitor to go with it (dual display mode). I do only design work and don't play any games. Colour is very important but not super super critical. I mean S-IPS level is good but nothing lower than that. Oh and no shinny glossy screens. Now I was thinking...

Ok so I bought a Dell 30" 5 months ago. Got problem with it coming out of sleep mode so Dell sent me a replacement (refurbished with the promise of a brand new one if there were any more problems). Sucker developed dead pixels + made funny noises that seemed to come from screen expanding and...

I have a Zyxel Prestige 660HW-61 wireless router. The router has 4 ports for LAN connection. I have three PCs connected to the router and networked for file transfer. I have direct internet via the router on all three. I want one of the PC that is mission critical workstation to still remain...

So I bought a 30" Dell 4-5 months ago. I started having problems with it coming out of sleep mode. I got it exchanged but stressed that I wanted a brand new one and not a used one.The Dell guy said he could not do that so I ended up speaking with the supervisor who said it would be perfect like...

Is there any reason why 200GB should not be transferred in one go from internal HD to say another internal/external HD? Is it better to transfer in 40-50GB chunks? Just curious :cool: :confused:

So I have a 3-5 month old Dell 3007. Absolutely pleased with it and no problems but yesterday when I came back to work and moved the mouse to bring the monitor back to life the monitor came out of sleep/standby mode and looked like this (attached image). It's as if only the middle band of...

Ok this mouse is NOT for gaming but purely for my 3d pro work which requires the middle button (scroll wheel) for clicking as a button. I have been using 5 year old MS Intellimouse and I was reasonably pleased with it. It has started going bit flakey and sticky so I decided to find a replacment...

never mind solved

Ok so I am working on my brand spanking new 3007 and am very happy with it. I have a crappy old Acer AL707 running next to it. The colours on the 3007 are 100 times closer to my CRT compared to the Acer. The only thing is that the white is "yellowish white" on the 3007 but "blueish white" on...

First let me tell you the parts I want to protect- 1x 3d Workstation (2xAmd Opteron 285, PCP&C 1KW PSU, 2x 7900 GTX) 1x older PC (350 watt PSU) 1x 30" Dell LCD 1x 17" CRT 1x17" LCD Another 30" LCD maybe one day :-) 2x Epson A3 inkjet printers Xerox Phaser 8500 Laser printer 1xLaptop...

At non-native resolution obviously. The thing is that my new PC is not finished as the Opteron 285 CPU have not arrived. The bad boy 3007 just got delivered and it's so painful not being able to run it in all it's glory. My question is will it run of the above mentioned card till my new rig is...

I have a Tj07 case and I am about to build my new workstation. I am adding a Delta Intake 120mm fan in the front. It's air flow is rated at 190 CFM/4000rpm. Might be overkill so I might use Papst or some other good fan (any suggestions?). Anyway I am trying to find out how much the air...

Just ordered it for $1870 USD with 5 year warranty. I know in US you can get it cheaper but for Europe I think I did well. I will compliment it with a 2407 when it comes out.
