I can not wait for more wider monitors. They are def worth it for gaming. I've always loved my square monitors, 1280x1024, 1600x1200. 16:9 monitors have never felt wide enough, and were always a little too wide for what I use computers for. Something about double that wide is good, and triple...

Its upsetting to see that [H] has become a troll filled forum over the years. :mad: On that note, I haven't been been able to get the game to run in triple head. Got it durring the holiday steam sale. It looked interesting, but with it crashing every minute I haven't been able to play.

But its also $400. Not looking to put $400 into a computer right now.

ya i've been thinking about that. I really really wanted a 2nd 275 when they came down in price, but since i bought mine its gone up $100 (50%) of what i paid in june last year! :mad:

Did some quick searching around but didn't see much for any recent sales/auctions for a used GTX295. I found some old auctions for $600+ but these didn't even seem close to what the card would be worth today. Got a friend with a XFX GTX295 (dual PCB) that is about a year old. What is ball...

I have already tried disabling/changing the boot drive and it will not boot, but wasn't sure if running the repair utility off the Win7 disc would solve the issue. I didn't want to take a chance of running that and having it botch the drive and need to reformat again.

Here is my setup: HD1: Boot drive, Win7 RC, WinXP32, WinXP64 HD2: Win7 Pro HD1 has all the boot information, what can I do to transfer this to HD2? Would I just get rid of the drive (or changing the priority to HD2 in the bios) and run the repair utility from the Win7 DVD? I wanted...

For those that don't like to read I have a 4.2ghz stable OC with 1.29v idle, 1.264v load Vcore, 1.62v Vdimm, 1.34QPI, 1.24IOH. Core i7 920 D0 (SLBEJ-3903A468). Is 1.34v for the QPI going to greatly accelerate the rate in which my chip degrades? Realtemp reports my Cores at getting no warmer...

pretty much anything is going to be better than the stock intel HSF. i know you said sound isn't an issue, but if you want quiet the Noctua U12p works pretty good. 4.2ghz (200x21) 1.26v. 66-70C at the cores, 58C CPU (68C is safe per intel's specs). as long as you don't have tall heat...

I'm trying to find some information on the newer Starforce Proactive system being used. I would rather not buy/support a game and its developer that supports a company like Starforce because of past business practices that I do not agree with, but unfortunately there is no alternative :( except...

GPU's have always been kind of pricey compared to just a CPU. At least over the last decade. the price trend is kind of tricky though. sometimes a GFX card will drop in price very drastically and other times it will go up. On the other hand CPU's are usually pretty stable. the i7 920 i...

i wanted to post this here since i've been here before and don't have an account elsewhere. i have not found anything yet regarding this problem. today i tried for 1900mhz from my DDR3 ram, and by my calculations i should be around CL12, but found that i loose 2gb of ram with a CL of 12. its...

is it me or is a 60C idle a bit high? i'm using a Noctura and running at 4.2ghz(see sig) and i idle at 30C and load at 70C. ambient is ~18C. maybe i got a factory freak or something.

this does not make much sense but.... i had a bad monitor. i have 2 Dell Trinitron's that are were manufactured in 2001 that i had received from a friend several years ago during a big move. for a while i have thought that both were burning out and the other day one started go go dark/dim...

Noctura NH U12 i ran Furmark for several hours (with linpack running on the other 7 threads), never any artifacts or crashes, although i reduced my OC quite a bit because i'd get artifcats from the core overheating in ArmA 2, but other games cause the GPU to get warmer and never show...

I have a 24/stable overclock, but sometimes Virtual Dub will cause the system to hang, even with factory defaults. System: Gigabyte UD4p | I7 920 @ 4.2ghz "D0" w/ 1.22v (200x21) | 3x2GB OCZ Gold DDR3@1600 8-8-8-16 | EVGA GTX275 @ 760core/1620shader/1337mem | WD Raptor 150gig | WD 640 AAKS...

i have always liked Ultimate Defrag. i have not used JKDefrag to compare but i prefer Ultimate Defrag over OO, Puran, Diskkeeper and a few others. i am a tweaker, engineer and a perfectionist, though. UD seems to overwhelmed non-advanced PC users at first who just want their system to be...

i just picked up a 275 and if you look at the "auto" fan profile it is set to keep the temperature around 84C, with a maximum of 94.

my bad. i'm r etarded

i have an MX518 i bought about 6 months ago. its seen moderate gaming and still looks brand new but it started to developed this habit of randomly disconnecting. the wire appears to be loose inside the mouse, if you put any pressure on it the mouse looses power. has anyone else encountered...

just for the heck of it i think i'm going to try my luck with an x3 seeing its only $20 more and if it fails i still have at least 3 cores. the X2 550BE's cost $100 the x3 720BE's cost $120 how recent have these "unlocked" CPU's been purchased?

ya tried all that. the problem was that i could not calibrate the axis'. i was searching around for the registry entries that the calibartions were in and found This. the ulitility called ClrCalib deletes all game controller calibrations. everything works fine now. :cool:

couldn't edit, but all cars still have a mechanical parking brake.

The only things that pop into my mind are: Older cars have no electronics. My project car doesn't have any what-so-ever. so they wouldn't be effected. and Newer cars are all electronics: My newer car is DBW (drive by wire). in my case nothing is mechanical, except the servos and motors...

Been looking all over the place for a solution on this issue. Hopefully someone here can help. I have a MS Sidewinder Precision Pro racing Wheel I got a long time ago. It always has and still works great. I don't know if this is specific to the Sidewinder or not. The only issue I have are...

I'll post this hear since it keeps getting deleted on the Sapphire support forums. :rolleyes::mad: although this is an ATI card, i'm sure this could apply to any card that overheats, or has a chip that tends to run hot. I have a Sapphire x1950 Pro. I only bought the sapphire because at the...

i bought an x1950 pro AGP back in january. i wish i had just saved my money towards a new rig, but it got almost another year out of my computer.

and that is why valve sells big. and the fact their games are not as buggy as others.

thats around where i was pointing him. he doesn't want to spend more than a couple hundred. trying to stay under $150.

asus and gigabyte are great for RMA's. i also believe they are now partnered in some fashion.

well, when the x38 was announced and reviewed, it said it would not support SLI so i'm not suprised that now that its hear it doesn't support SLI (from the factory). as for price, comon, its brand new.

my Asus P4P800 is finally dieing. i can no longer OC as far due to the voltage not being as stable as it once was, same with my ram. but the system still runs fine other than a wierd sensor bug, so i took the OC off and figure i can get a few more years out of this system as a file server when...

friend has this system: K8V SE Deluxe Athlon 64 3300+ 7800GS AGP 2 gig ddr400 (pc3200) he just bought more ram and the video card, so he wants to keep those. i didn't really see any CPU's that are much of an upgrade. i told him that IMO it is not worth trying to upgrade. the 754...

at this point AMD is looking at price cuts to minimize losses. if they are still in business against a company as large as Intel its got to say something about them. i believe they are trying not to butcher another launch. they want to release a far superior product, hense the wait. think...

i am looking to build a new system and comparing an intel based system to an AMD system, AMD seems to get the best performance per $$ spent. i was set on buying a core 2 duo since they around $220 now, but with a 6000+ costing $70 or more less than the intel, the AMD really seems worth it if...

i have a computer being used as a router that is 10 years or so old, and my basement is always 60% or higher. its raining here right now and its at 80%, even with a dehumidifier its always pretty damp down there. no problems. you only have to worry about drastic temperature changes (think...

ATI tool is OK. i can hit 655/1512 on my x1950 pro, no artifacts, anything higher will crash the system. as soon as i jump into bf2 with the graphics pegged i crash out after 15 minutes. i found a game like bioshock to be good at finding max temps. i have not yet found a program to run that...

my p4 @ 3.6 bottlenecks very bad. changing my overclock from 3, to 3.3 to 3.6 i notice pretty good gains in framerates in most games. in games like ArmA, BF2 and BF2142 i get the same frame rates @800x600(or whatever lowest the game allows) lowest details as i do at 1280x1024 max...

if you can afford to pay $12 or whatever a month it is to play retail WoW, you can afford $25 for a video card more recent than a V2....

basically, i was flashing the bios on my ASUS P8P800 and the power browned out, and my UPS failed. upon the machine restarting, nothing. just HDD lights staying on. i have tried the crashfreebios2 feature of alt-f2 (as directed on the ASUS website and in the p4p800 manual) with no luck. the...
