Do I lose the increased audio fidelity benefits of the Core3D processor in my Sound Blaster Z when I use a USB wireless headset like the Logitech G930?
I just bought a new Sound Blaster Z card after using integrated audio on my new build for the last year. I have been using Tritton AX720 headphones which came with a Dolby Digital II 5.1 Mix Amp to simulate surround sound. With the new Z card, should I be using the Mix Amp and connecting via...
Judging by the fact that I have the highest 3DMark11 score (P8680) when filtering results by my processor (Intel Core i5 Processor i5-650), I am guessing my score is being CPU limited. My sig is up to date with my system. Yes, I have 2 x EVGA GTX 670's in SLI and am running a first gen Core i5...
I just built a new rig and Black Ops runs really slow for the first 30 seconds, even at low detail, then runs perfect. Here's my new setup:

Intel Core i5 650 @ 3.6GHz
Corsair H50 CPU Cooler
OCZ 4GB DDR3-1333

So my power button is loose and I called up Dell to see what they could do. After 45 minutes on the phone the "technical support" agent decided to replace the monitor with a 2407WFP-HC. I am aware that its the same monitor with a different backlight which increases the color gamut to 92%. I play...
I have an extra XBOX 360 Pro that I just got back from Microsoft. I haven't used it and would like to sell it or trade it for a Nintendo Wii. PM me.Located in SoCal
I currently have a Dell 2407WFP which is over 2 years old. I am considering getting the Samsung T240HD. I play PC games and I may play console games on it. I have a Samsung LN46A650 in the family room for gaming right now. Would it be an upgrade for me? Its a little confusing since the newer...
So I have the Microsoft Wireless Receiver and Headset and Windows Vista. I also have an X-Fi sound card in my rig. I want to use the headset as a normal microphone and earpiece to hear other players but when I turn it on all sound is routed from the speakers to the headset. Its weird, I will be...
I just received my BFG 8800GTX OC and long story short my rig won't boot when I run two dedicated PIC-E 6-pin power rails to the video card. If I replace one of the rail cables with a standard 4-pin molex cable rail (with multiple branches) and use the 4 to 6-pin adapter included with the card...
Just installed Vista and bought an E6600. My RAM score is 4.7 and my next lowest is 5.4 for the proc. I don't know off hand the exact model number of my G.Skill DDR2-800 RAM. Rig in sig. Any idea?
I recently stumbled upon an interesting fact while searching the web: the Chinese word for 'micro' is 'wei'. Nintendo had a version of the Gameboy called the Micro. I think someone at Nintendo was inspired by the Chinese word for Micro, 'wei', and came up with 'Wii'. What do you think?
Please...
Has anyone tried to RAID a Raptor and Raptor X together? The only difference is the window, but I didn't know if it wouldn't RAID because the model numbers are different.
I just bought the D-Link DGL-4300 Gaming Router with Gamefuel technology to keep games lag-free while other people are downloading on the network. I went to D-Link's site and they said only certain firmware versions are compatible with Xbox Live. My question is are they referring to Xbox or Xbox...
Running at 1920x1080 through the VGA cable I am getting lines on my 2407. Only at this resolution and during any game or in the dashboard. Anyone have the same issue or have heard of this?
I am running a dual monitor setup that have 2 different native resolutions. Every time I start my computer my main display is running at 1680x1050 and I have to change it to 1920x1200. Is there a way to keep this as the default?
How do I use my mobo as an access point? I know it supports this feature somehow, but I want to hook my XBOX 360 up to it wired and then let it access Xbox Live through my PC. I don't want to spend $100 on the wireless adapter for it, thats why. Is this possible?
I have a 2407WFP and a 2005FPW and when booting up the BIOS is displayed on my secondary monitor, then the main windows monitor switches over to my 2407 once in windows. I didnt switch which monitor is primary in the CCC. Whats the deal? Also, is the default primary monitor connected to the DVI...
Speedfan is reporting a significant drop in MB temp since I updated my BIOS to 0801 today. MB is idling around 35C and CPU is at 40C with my D805 OCed to 3.6. Odd thing is, Asus Probe II is not reporting the drop. Anyone find the same thing?
Edit: Upon further inspection, it seems that...
Does anyone have a P5W DH Deluxe that is mounted upside down in a case and have problems? I remember hearing there is a problem doing that because the fluid cannot travel through the copper? Why would there be fluid in the copper in the first place? I want to get one of those Koolance...
How hot are your temps with this board? Mine is getting way too hot I think. I'm using water cooling and I'm not using the extra mobo fan. After gaming for a while the Asus PC Probe reports 57C on the mobo! Ouch. I only have my Pentium D 805 OCed to 3.2 GHz. What gives?
I've noticed since I installed this board that my connection strength has increased over using my D-Link wireless G card, but every 10 seconds or so I get a little lag spike in CS:S and in BF2. Any ideas?
My G. Skill 2 GB kit doesn't work with my new system and the G. Skill rep told me that my motherboard does not support double sided RAM. Is that even possible? I want to RMA my memory and get OCZ or something but aren't all 2 GB kits double sided?
I just built a new rig with an Asus P5ND2-SLI mobo and Pentium D 805. 2 gigs of g.skill DDR2-800, ATI X1900XTX, and an Antec NeoHE 550 PSU. When i installed everything in my case and tried to boot I got no video and the system shut off after a few seconds. I tried a few times with no avail...
Bought through CompUSA replacement plan (TAP) and looking to downgrade to a 7900GT instead. Still sealed, picked up today. I can transfer the new 2-year replacement warranty if desired and with that I am looking for $530 shipped. If you do not want the warranty, I am looking for $490 shipped...
Which mobo is the best deal in your opinion for the D805 right now? Also, are there any D805 supporting boards that also support Conroe? If so, which do you recommend?
Stupid question, but where is the M/N or serial number on the Z-5500s that is required to get support from Logitech? I can't seem to find it on the back or bottom of the speakers or control pod.

Outpost has OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 / 400MHz / Platinum / Dual Channel OCZ Platinum Edition PC-3200 memory for $129.99 AR. Is this stuff good memory for a new Opty system that will be OCed quite a bit?
