Just finished upgrading the last PC in my house to Win 10 (my dad's PC) and he uses a PCI wifi adapter (D-Link DWA-552). When I started the upgrade to Win 10 it did actually warn me that the wifi card wasn't supported so I disabled it and pushed through with the update anyhow assuming I could...

Just thought this was a bit odd. A high-tier kickstarter backer for PoE who submitted a poem for use in game has drawn the ire of the SJW community as a whole and are pressuring Obsidian to remove the text. https://soundcloud.com/totalbiscuit/pillars-of-transphobia...

I bought a new Noctua NH-D14 back in 2011 to use with my 2600k which I have been using daily ever since. Great cooler, wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm looking at possibly getting a Z87 mobo and a Intel Core i7 4790K. Do you think the Noctua NH-D14 I bought in 2011 will be compatible...

My 4870x2 has recently been rendered defective. While I struggle to coax any sort of response out of HIS and their RMA dept, I have to consider what card will hold it's place in the meantime. If I can't get a response from HIS after a week I don't have much hope for an expedient RMA process once...

Here's what I'm seeing When I enter bios everything looks good: However, after a few minutes in bios this happens: I'm not sure if this is a video card issue or not. I posted in general hardware, but I'm concerned that this may be video card related - I'm not sure. - I first noticed...

Last night I had a nasty computer crash (comp in signature) while playing L4D. I was OC'd to 3.8GHz, so immediately I went to bios to reset my settings to default. During the process I noticed garbage on my screen during post, and when I got into bios and was seeing random characters / garbage...

When I have Catalyst Control Center open it is constantly refreshing / blinking. It's causing a problem because any drop down menu or slider I happen to be manipulating is taken out of my control with each refresh/blink. It happens every 3 or 4 seconds. I noticed it with 9.8, and also with the...

I usually set my clocks to the following settings in the profiles.xml: Before today I never really took a hard look at the settings, and didn't realize the core voltage was also set lower in 2D. I'm curious to find out the lowest value I can set there safely. Any other 4870x2 users who run...

Since using Win 7 RC, I've found that the control panel - oxygen HD Audio - for my sound card (Bgears b-Enspirer) locks up Win 7 if I try to open it. I'm pretty much at a loss as to what to do about it. Bgears has abandoned the card and refuses to release updated drivers / control panel for...

I'm on Windows 7 RC Build 7201. Using CCC and drivers 9.5 with my 4870x2, the Image Scaling option under the digital panel section is gray / disabled. I've read in the 9.5 thread that at least one other person has this problem, but some people don't. Anyone have any idea what's going on...

I wasn't sure if this belongs here or under Power Supplies, but I figure of anyone can shed some light, it's you guys. This one is sort of strange. My Westy seems to function well enough, aside from the typical quirks and oddities that go along with this particular display. My problem is that...

A small issue I've encountered lately, in all likelihood a problem on my end. Perhaps I can get some help / suggestions? Every time I visit the forums, I get the "fixing" message you'd normally see if the forums are down. I always seem to have to ipconfig /flushdns from cmd every time I want...

Given the system I'm using (detailed in my sig) I should be experiencing an increase in speed with GPU acceleration enabled in CS4, right? Since installing CS4 earlier today, I've noticed quite the opposite. Perhaps someone can help shed some light on my problem. For example, applying...

I've got a couple 4870's up for grabs, will sell as a set only. I've been using them in my secondary/gaming rig since July. No bios flashes, no OC'ing, nothing funny. Just gaming. Since it's a gaming only rig, the computer is used only a few hours a day. I'd say these cards are best described...

I've just purchased Crysis Warhead (retail) and installed the game. I've run it in both DX9 and DX10, but neither lets me select a screen resolution over 1776x1000. I'm using a Westinghouse LVM42w2 monitor, nativ res of 1920x1080. The original Crysis allowed me to play at 1920x1080 by...

Using the system in my sig for a little over a week, I've recently noticed that while I'm getting 5.1 sound while watching movies (hi def, xvid, anything) I'm not getting 5.1 with any of my games. I've just today learned about this issue with Vista and surround sound while gaming: Source...

When you aren't gaming, or plan on gaming any time soon - do you disable CrossFireX in your ATI Catalyst Control Center? I'm not sure if I should be leaving it enabled or not. This is my first rig with two video cards, I'd like to ensure I don't do anything to drastically reduce the life of...

I recently put together a new system, including the motherboard named in the title as well as 8GB of ram. I installed Vista x64 (w/SP1), with only 2GB of ram installed (as well as only 1 vid card). After the installation, I updated my system through windows updates and added the additional...

I wasn't sure if this belongs here, in motherboards or in OS, so I'm going to post here first. I recently put together a new system, including the motherboard named in the title as well as 8GB of ram. I installed Vista x64 (w/SP1), with only 2GB of ram installed (as well as only 1 vid card)...

Just a quick question, is it odd that my Visiontek 4870's came without any sticker on the cooler cage? Aside from the outer box, there's nothing to indicate what brand my 4870 even is.

I built a new computer today: http://www.disp0sable.org/allniterz/LWG/Ordered.jpg Put it together (with just one 4870) and one stick of ram (2gb). I installed MS Server 2008 (x64) and everything went smooth as ice. All drivers work, everything looks great, plays Crysis quite well. No...

I've got a couple 4870's en route, currently I'm using a 42" Westinghouse as my monitor (LVM42w2) and would like to get a higher quality 24"-26" LCD as my main monitor, and use the Westy primarily as a 2nd display for movies/xbox 360. I've heard dual monitor isn't supported by SLI, does the...

I've recently bought a new system (Gigabyte x48 DQ6 motherboard and a GTX280), in light of the recent reviews of the 4870, I've been questioning weather I should RMA my video card and get a pair of 4870's, or keep the GTX280 and wait out a step up opportunity. My system only just shipped...

Here's what I'm looking at: http://home.cogeco.ca/~sgrodzinski/system.jpg It's been a real long time since I've built a new system - over 6 years now - and it's been a while since I've really took a good hard look at harware. So please, let me know if you see anything obviously...
