    Just picked up a third monitor... is there a way to do this? My discrete card is an 8800GT and the 785G mobo has a Radeon 4200 built in. Since these can't X-fire, is there any way to set them up as two different video cards and at least use them to have one large desktop? I understand I...

    Phenom II Setup

    Currently I'm running an overclocked 5000+ Black as can be seen in my sig. Would like to upgrade to a Phenom II 940. I get temps of about 18C right now. CPU is the only thing on the loop. Would the TDX CPU block be sufficient to cool a Phenom II?
