Hi, I have both the Asus Rog Swift PG278Q and a Benq BL3201PH that I need to decide between which one to keep. Here's my current rig: 3930k, 32gb and gtx 690 quad-sli with two Dell u3014 monitors. I work in front of my computer late at night about 4 hours or so sometimes. Here's the...

Hi, I need some help on deciding if I should ditch my 690 quad sli setup for a 970 sli setup. I've got two dell u3014 as my monitor setup. The logical side of me is saying probably not and at most this would just be a lateral upgrade with not much if any improvement. The I want new gear side is...

Hi, I'm in the process of choosing new monitors for work and gaming. I'm moving from a Dell 3008 driven by quad sli gtx690s to a new setup. Currently, I'm testing a combination of a Viewsonic VP2770 and LG 29EA93. I must say I love both monitors since I got ones that don't have any...

Hi, I've got quad sli gtx 690s. I'm going to pick up three ASUS VG248QE to see how I like them. What's the best way to connect the three monitors so that I can optimize their performance. Is it dual dvi or Displayport? Also, how would I do it? A little confused on where the...

Hi guys, I'm building a new rig. I have two gtx680 cards in front of me but just got a great deal on a gtx690 from a client. So, I wanted to find out from users who either went from gtx680 sli to gtx690 or from gtx690 to gtx680 sli their experiences and views on which was better. I...

Hello, I'm in desperate need of some help. I've got some data backed up to a 4tb external hard drive that is now not accessible. The external was functioning properly but now it is greyed out in "My Computer" and when you click on it then it says "You need to format the disk in Drive C...

Hi, I looking for advice and opinions on setting up a single loop to cool my 980x. I've never ventured into serious water cooling because of my work schedule. However, I finally want to give water cooling a shot. Currently, I've chosen the lazy man way of cooling it with an H70. It's stable...

Hi Guys, the power cord to my Enermax revolution 85+ 1050W PSU got damaged so I swapped in the power cord from my Corsair TX850 PSU to run my rig. Is this ok to do this temporarily while I await my replacement power cord from Enermax? Any thoughts and comments would be much appreciated...

Hi, I've got 3 Hitachi 1TB drives setup in Raid 5. I'm switching from an EVGA x58 sli to an Asus Rampage III Extreme and want to just move my raid setup over from my EVGA to my Asus mobo. Both mobos use the Intel ICH10R setup. Is it just plug and play, eg. plug my drives into the black sata...

I finally got my 3008wfp fired up, but the text display is horrible. It is really blurry. I'm running at native resolution. My Dvi-D cable worked fine with my 2709wfp. I've got cleartype turned on. This blurry text is driving me crazy. Any thoughts on how to fix it? I'm hoping it...

Hi, I got a refrub 3008 wfp waiting to be fired up. However, like I thought no power cord or dvi cable. Thus, I wanted to confirm that I could use my 2709wfp power cord with my 3008wfp. If anyone could confirm this then it would be much appreciated. THANKS! :D

I need some help on removing extra non-functioning copies of Win 7 Pro on my C hard drive. I tried installing Win 7 Pro 3 times and finally on the thrid try it installed correctly. Unfortunately, I've got 3 copies showing up when I startup my pc. It offers me 3 versions of Win 7 to choose...

I've got some credit I need to use at ewiz and was thinking of getting a new psu to replace my Neo 480. I want one that is modular. From their stock of psus and my price range, I've narrowed it down to the (1) Enermax Liberty 620w psu or the (2) Thermaltake Toughpower 700w psu. I was...

I've got a x2 3800 OCed to 2.63 with an Antec Neo 480 PSU and an HIS x1900xtx in my Super Lanboy case. Been thinking about rewiring and cable management and then been thinking about changing cases. Thus, to those who have had experiences with either or both the Super Lanboy and CM Stacker...

I wanted some feedback and opinions on this from people who might have used both the x1900 xtx and the 7900 gtx. I've done the research and read up on everything. Originally, I was just going to be happy with my x1900 xtx, but I was able to grab a 7900 gtx for a good price. I've got an...

Hi, I'm considering upgrading from my 7800 gtx 256mb to a x1900 xtx. I can pick one up for about $400 after all my discounts. I'd then ebay my 7800 gtx for hopefully around $350. I've got a Dell pull 7800 gtx and it's got the nice Quadro cooler that the 512mb version has on it. Anyway...

I was just curious if the Xbox360 looks better on the Gateway FPD2185W or Dell 2405. I've read the discussions here on the fact that the CBox360 may be the problem when it comes to 1080i via component hookup. However, I haven't seen anything specifically comparing the above two lcds when it...

Hi, I just picked up a X2 3800 for my MSI Neo4 Platinum mobo. I'm currently running the v1.3 bios on it. This one seems to be the best one so far for O/Cing. However, I don't think this one will recognize the dual core chip. I was wondering what people with the same setup were using...

Hi, I wanted to get opinions from people with the 5g 60gb Ipod on if they thought it would be too heavy or cumbersome to keep in the front pocket of a collared shirt. I don't like to keep the ipod in my front pant pocket. I've seen the 5g 30gb Ipod in person and think that would be fine...

I'm about to throw my MSI Neo4 mobo out the window, but I'll try going over to that new site listed in the recent posts about the MSI Neo4, but more importantly I wanted to see what people thought about the DFI Nf4 DAGF mobo. I listened to Eclipse and RB's words of wisdom about Crucial ram...

I've got both the Hap 150 w/remote control version and the Visiontek Theater 550 Pro sitting in front of me. I'm trying to decide which one to keep. I've done the research on both cards, but am not as knowledgable on hptc stuff as I would like to be. Also, I want to be transfering some of my...

Well, I made the mistake of flashing my Neo4 Platinum mobo to bios v.1.5. Now, I can't overclock nearly as much as before, but the main problem is that no matter how many times I change the multiplier in the bios to 10x, cpu-z always shows the multipier at 5x. Is cpu-z reading it wrong or...

Hi, I'm pretty much set on getting a gig of Patriot/PDP PDC1G3200+XBLK, but was just curious to see if there was anything else out there that could get me close to 270 at 2.5-3-3-7 with about 2.9v. I've got the MSI Neo4 so I can't push the voltage necessary for the TwinMos or ram of that...

I was just wondering if anybody has ever brought any refurbished memory from Newegg. There is some PQI memory that I've been wanting to play around with. It's refurbed, so I'm wondering if it is worth it to get it. How would the performance be on refurbed PQI memory? Thanks in...

Looking to change the memory in my rig. I currently have some OCZ PC3500 ram with the Infineon chips. It's maxing out at a FSB of about 258 at 2.5-4-4-9. I'm looking to go Tccd. Ideally, if I hadn't gone crazy with other stuff I would get G.Skill LC or LE Tccd ram, but right now I'm...

Here's Bios 1.2 I just downloaded this guy and will try it out later. http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=637&kind=1 Anbody use it yet? Let's see what this guy fixes.

I've been doing some research on this topic and have read up on it here and other places, but I wanted to hear some more opinions on this esp. from people who have used both of them. I'm on Cablevision and was going to pick up one of these cards. The recording unencrypted of QAM channels...

Ok, I was trying to find the max settings for my ati x800 xl card. I got up to a certain point and then ran AM3 to see what my scores would be like. AM3 locked up. So, I was like then this must be the max settings for my card. No probs. Startup the pc again and it won't post. So, I then...

Hi, For some strange reason now when I run AM3. I've got the following error several times: Exception Access Violation - The thread tried to read to or write to a virutal address which it does not have access to. How can I fix this error? Please let me know. Any comments would...

I'm currently running an Epox 9nda3j mobo at 2.5GHz with an xp-90 and a Winnie 3200 and 1gb of OCZ pc3500 perf. ram. Timings are 2.5-3-3-7 with a 166 divider at 5x. I'm using about 1.52v on the cpu and 2.7v on them. It's prime stable. I haven't played around with settings that much and I'm...

I wanted to know from people who have the x800 xt and the latest drivers if you noticed a nice improvement in OpenGL performance and if you think that this trend will continue in the next set of drivers. I really don't care so much about SM 3.0, but sort of do care about OpenGL performance...

I've got a 6800gt and have the 6800 ultra on backorder from Outpost at $360 w/rebate. I've just seen the x800 xt aiw and it looks sweet! :D That aside, what do you guys think of it. I'm thinking about cancelling my 6800 ultra and jumping on this because I was going to get a tuner card...

I've got a winnie 3200 at 2.5 with 1 gb pc3500 (2.5-3-3-7), Antec 480 psu and bfg6800gt. The problem is that my benchmark scores are terrible. I'm only getting like 53k in AM3. I should be in the mid 60k at least with this setup. For ex., my gfx in AM3 is only like 7350. What's up with that...

I've got a 3200 Winnie at 2.5GHz with my bfg 6800gt (400/1100), but I'm only getting like 39,000 in Aquamark3? I use to have a pressie 3.0 GHz with bfg 6800 oc (410/815) which gave me like 59,000 in Aquamark3. I did a fresh install of windows with the 66.93 drivers. I've played with fastwrite...

I just rmaed a mobo and took off my xp-90 and cpu chip out of the mobo. I had AS5 on the cpu chip and xp-90 spread out in a circular pattern on both. I followed the AS5 web site instructions. However, I didn't get to run my computer for long and only got about 50 hours of run time on it...

Ok, I've got it down to these two mobos. I've researched both and am leaning toward the Epox mobo, but I am open to everybody's comments and opinions. I never used either mobo maker before, so I'm looking for other people's experiences with these mobos. Thanks for your comments! :D

Ok, I've given up on PCIe for now. I just RMAed my Asus a8n mobo and sold off my PCIe video card. I'm gonna wait for the dual core chips to come out then upgrade again, but in the mean time, since I sold my other system. I need something to hold me over for less than a year. I'm getting...

I keep on getting a "IDE Channel 1 no 80 conductor cable installed" which keeps me from posting and I have to press f1 to continue onwards. I've got the HDD 80 pin (blue colored) cable that came with this mobo in the primary ide and the cd-rom cable in the secondary ide. I've played around...

I finally got this mobo to work properly. At first it kept dropping my usb ports and I couldn't run anything off of them. Now, I can't get it to go into windows. It just keeps resetting itself before going into windows. I've tried playing with all the options in the bios and saved them back...

Trying to decide which one will be better for my budget. I've got max $375 left for my video card. Xmas gifts ate into this. :( So, I'm trying to decide whether between the two 6600gt in sli config. or waiting for the x800 xl. I've got the Asus A8N mobo. Which one will give me better...
