4770k Asus Maximus Hero VI Mushkin DDR3 (from my old PC) Intel 510 SSD Installed Windows 8, chipset, drivers, full Windows Updates, and a couple of the Asus programs. I now go to install Bitdefender Internet Security 2014 and I get a BSOD with the label CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT. I've...

I just replaced my ATI 5970 with two MSI 580 Twin Frozrs in SLI and now I've got a problem. BF3 (with the new drivers) runs great when I first launch it up...but then after about 10-15 minutes, it's like one of the cards just stop working and my FPS drops from 50ish to about 15 becoming...

I need to do it. Problem is, it seems that ATI and nVidia have dropped the ball in getting their next generation GPUs out the door. With titles like BF3 and Skyrim arriving for the holiday season this year, you would think that they would try and match that release window....instead, we're left...

Retail pics from a 5970, i7 960 rig Maxed out resolution and tweaks. Best looking game I've seen on a PC. Draw distances are just silly... UPDATED: New screens below

Saddened to see nVidia dragging their heels at the time of my new build, I've picked up an XFX 5970 for my new rig. I'm very excited about Battlefield Bad Company 2 and it's looking like it'll take advantage of PhysX processing more than any other game to date...presumably with more physics...

Amazing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db7pKjUrNXQ

Does anyone know of anywhere that eithe rof these models can be bought or pre-ordered? EVERYWHERE I've looked, online and irl, either looks at me cross eyed (::cough:: best buy ::cough:: ) or is only selling the Xtrememusic and Platinum Editions. Anyone?

So I keep reading that this is the same panel that's in the Apple 23" HD Cinema Display and the HP L2335. But does anyone know if this is an "HD" lcd? The Apple seems to brag about this as a big selling point, but I can't find anything about it from HP or Sony. Why? Or are they HD monitors...

This baby's about 6 months old, and I've never seen a dead pixel on her. I'm selling b/c I'm thinking about dropping a cool 2 grand on a Apple 23" HD Cinema Display.....mmmm.....But rest assured, this is an incredible monitor. Let me know if you guys want pics...*(there's not a scratch on...

Check my sig for the setup. I have the newest drivers for all of my components. I just got my surround sound speakers and fired up Doom III to test them out. Enabled surround sound in the menu. But after playing for a few minutes, the sound completely cuts out. Why? I've done some...

Real quick, I can sum up HL2 like this: I'm an enormous movie/theatre buff. However, HL2 is arguably the greatest piece of entertainment that I ever experienced in my life. Greater that any game I've ever played, movie I've ever seen, and possibly tied with the first time I saw Les...

Which BIOS are you guys using w/your A8V? I'm trying to decide if I should flash to the beta 1009.2 from 1008. I'm getting some random short freezes....and I've also lost detection of my MSI XA52P (which is "designed for Intel Chipsets", but it worked w/1007). Thanks in advance.

Just got in my new Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1's to replace some pretty old-n-crappy boston acoustics. And let me say "DAMNNNNNNNNN". I had no idea games could sound like this!! These things are on par w/my MUCH more expensive home theatre rig! And w/HL2.....let's just say you need to hear...

I have a 256mb 6800 Ultra....what should I set the 'Aperture Size' to in my AGP settings? The default was 64 (I think). I changed it the 256 and I'm getting some random crashes--however, the could be attributed to something completely different. So what the heck is this and what do I set...

Just built a new rig ( http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=830950 ) and I was advised to change my ram settings in the BIOS from 'AUTO' to '2:1' in order to get the most out of my OCZ Plat Rev 2 DDR 3200 ram. What do you guys think? Since I'm running a FX-55, wouldn't this tax the...

Don't mean to double post....but I know several fellas that hang around in here were helping me out w/the new rig. Wanted to let you guys know that I've posted my mini-review and pics in the general hardware forum here: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=830950

Welp...this upgrade's been a long time coming--let me know what you guys think: Specs FX-55 (Auto OC in BIOS) Asus A8V Rev2 mobo (BIOS version 1007) Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu Heatsink 1 Gb OCZ Plat Rev 2 DDR PNY 6800 Ultra (435/1130) - Forceware 66.93 Soundblaster Audigy2 Platinum Dual 74...

Okay....since mbm5 doesn't support my Asus A8V Rev 2 board, I dl'ed speedfan and for these items, Speedfan says: Winbond W83627THF Winbond W83791D LM75 ARE ALL @ 127 C ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What?!?!?! Is this right??!?! What are these? Is it just that my mobo isn't supported here either?

Why does CPU-z say that my HTT speed is 200 Mhz? Shouldn't this be 1000 Mhz? How do I change this?

Just built my new system (see sig). Right now I'm getting about 5300 on 3DMark05 .... I think that this is kinda low though, what do you guys think? Anyways, I am wanting to do some oc'ing in my BIOS, but I'm an oc'ing noob and wanted some advice. 1. I bought the OCZ Plat Rev 2 DDR...

Okay....change of plans....maybe.... I've been planning for quite some time now to build a PCIe FX55 system. So far, here's what I've bought and have in my possesion: FX-55 Enermax Noisetaker 600W PSU 2 x 74 Gb WD Raptors (RAID 0) 1 Gb OCZ Plat. Rev 2 DDR Zalman 7000-Cu Heatsink...

:rolleyes: Emailed MSI about the availability of their 939 PCIe boards...here's what I got back: ------------------------------ Hi, Wes, Thanks for your support to MSI. As you might saw on Anandtech, We have delightful improvement on Nvidia nForce4 chipset. But we aim to build a...

I contacted BFG about availability on their 6800 Ultra PCIe are here's what I got back: (All I have to say is DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT) :mad: ---------------------------- We initially thought we would be releasing PCI Express products in retail at the end of October, but now our...

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Abit.html Anyone seen a usa preorder for these?

This has me worried: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=19313 Forgive my un-uber-techiness, but what does this mean? The NForce4 was supposed to be that last part in my rig....Should I now go with the VIA K8T890 chipset instead? Thanks.

Okay...so I have my new FX-55...I'm still waiting on a mobo...and I'm going back and forth on the video card. Has anyone seen benchmarks comparing the 6800 Ultra PCIe and X800 XT PE PCIe I've always been a long time nVidia user, but the X800 is rather tempting. The main problem is that it...

Sorry guys...just needed someone to holla at!!! My FX-55 has shipped from Monarch Computers and will be here on Thursday!! :) :) :) Of course....sadly....I'm still waiting for a NForce4 or K8T890....which could be a couple weeks (I'm probably just going to get whichever one comes first)...

What do u guys think about this PSU... http://www.mdmm.com/products/techietoyz/power-ultrapower.asp Thanks for any input.

Okay...so I just bought a brand new Thermaltake Ultrapower 550W PSU. (At least that's what it says on the box). However, when I opened it, the fan control panel has 480W written on it. So I raised my eyebrows and checked the side of the box. In the specs, it says: Nominal Power: 480W...

When are we going to see this thing? Anyone have any ideas? Any websites speculating? Anyone seen any roadmaps?

:D Okay friends, here's the deal... I've recently decided that I've stockpiled enough money to build my System of all Systems. But I need some advice and suggestions. But I am definatly going to build my own rig...so don't go pointing my hard earned cash to alienware or voodoo pc...
