    Need some help with cold boot problem

    So I built my current rig (in my sig) in the first week the x99 came out. Everything was great on the system until the last week or so when it has begun to have problems on cold boot. When I first turn the system on all the lights come on and the fans spin but I will not get any video...

    Upgrade GPU or wait for full rebuild?

    I will be doing a full rebuild next fall after July, but I will probably wait until late fall so new hardware prices will normalize. I just upgraded to using the 29" AOC q2963 monitor with resolution of 2560x1080 and I feel like my poor 6870 is dragging in some of the newer games. At my...

    Need some help with my Evo

    So I just switched to the evo from my Pre and so far I am pretty happy with it. However, my google calendar will not sync with the evo :mad: I went to my gmail account on my desktop and added a friend's calendar, and it showed up right away on there. I then went to my evo and made sure it was...

    Noisy side fans....

    Ever since I upgraded the side fan on my CM690 to an apevia 120mm it has been a little noisy. When I pull the fan off the panel and just hold it in my hand its dead silent, and the one I have on the bottom and rigged in the 5.25" bay are both much quieter. Is there any reasonable way to quiet...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and crossfire...

    This game looks great with my 2x 3870 crossfire setup, as I have been able to run the game flawlessly at full settings with AA at 75% (not sure what that amounts to in #X terms). However, when I get to the Warehouse zone I get bad stuttering and my fps goes to crap. So far I have only noticed...

    I am running vista 64, and no matter what program I use I cannot seem to overclock both cards in CF. I can get just the engine clocks up but I have to take them out of CF and when I put CF back in they go back to stock, or at least the "slave" card does. Using rivatuner I can overclock the...

    How much is a warranty worth?

    Wanted to get some other opinions on this matter. Is the VisionTek lifetime warranty really worth it for the premium over other cards? I am sitting on 2 VT 3870's right now and debating returning them to get the diamond 3870s for about $45 less, or even the MSI OC 3870s (both at newegg). I...
