Ok so I am having trouble deciding which 7970 I want to get. I am planning on eventually doing eyefinity when I can get a 3rd monitor and I would like to do it on a single card.(SLI and Crossfire setups are a pain in the ass) Anyway I have a Silverstone Raven RV02 case and I am considering going...

Ok I have had my i5 760 overclocked with the Asus auto tune in the BIOS for a while, but I figured I could push it farther.(Asus only got it to 3.6Ghz) Anyway I have pushed it up to 4.0Ghz with no problems at all. Actually going off of a guide I originally had it at 4.4Ghz, but I turned that...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236153 I recently stumbled across this monitor. It is marketed as a "commercial" monitor. I was just wondering if anybody had one. It actually looks quite promising. Anybody heard anything on this monitor?

I currently have the HP W2207H and I am looking to go up to a 24" 1080p monitor. The one I had my eyes set on was the Asus VE248H. Anyway there are literally hundreds of reviews raving about how great this monitor is. There on the other hand there is a handful of people that complain of...

Ok here is my situation. I know enough about overclocking to know what the values do, I just don't really have the patience to sit there and tweak them. So I am using the Asus auto tune in the BIOS to overclock. When I use the better performance tune it overclocks somewhere around 3.3-3.4GHz.(It...

Ok here is my problem. I recently did a what I considered very modest overclock to my Core i5 760. It is overclocked it to 3.2ghz and I am getting what you see above for an idle temp. What is confusing me is why the cores show to be perfectly cool and the CPU shows to be 15C higher. It is...

Ok here is my situation. I am wanting to move my HDD to a new computer. The new one will not be significantly different from the old one, but it will have a different mobo and RAM. I have read several posts and the opinions are mixed. Some say it goes seamless with Windows 7 and some so you...

Ok here is my situation. I am building my dad a PC and he is in no shape or form a gamer.(Unless Texas Hold'em and Farkle count lol) Anyway I am giving him my old GTS 250 for the video card and it is going to be a Core i5 760 system. Also I am going to have a HAF 912 case. I am having trouble...

Ok here is my situation. I have a surround sound that unfortunately only has 1 optical connection on it. It doubles as my PC speakers and my computer speakers. What I am wanting to be able to do is plug my 360 into my computer and just have it passthrough to the surround sound. The problem is...

Ok I added in a new video card to my computer that is a PCIe 16x card.(Gigabyte GTX 460 Super Overclock Series). Oddly whenever I plugged this card in my PCIe tuner card in the 1x slot above it immediately stopped working.(The computer no longer recognizes that it is there at all) Does anybody...

I am getting very tiny white dots in furmark. They are happening only in the area that I circled in the picture below.(They don't show up in Prt Scr) I have even tried down-clocking the card and they are still there. It doesn't matter if the card is hot/cold or overclocked/underclocked the dots...

Ok here is my situation. I have finally decided to go with a 6870 and as usual the %&$& Asus is sold out. Newegg has their 10% coupon going right now. I don't think the Asus is coming back into stock before Friday, because I got an alert that it was in stock today and it is already sold out...

Ok here is my situation. I realize that the 6870 is the new poster child right now, but I really want to keep my Physx support. I have been considering the GTX 460, but I plan on upgrading my monitor to a 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 next and I don't want to under power myself. What is making me...

I noticed this up on Newegg today, but I have heard nothing about it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125345&cm_re=gtx_460_1gb-_-14-125-345-_-Product I am curious to see what the reviews say. That cooler looks intriguing. Also a bonus is, unlike EVGA, this carries the...

Ok I am planning on getting a new video card sometime between now and Christmas. I originally was going to get the 470, but now I am being tempted by the 6870. The reason being is because of the 6870s lower temperatures. I have my computer in my room and I usually play with the door shut, so I...

Ok this is driving me crazy. After I installed my SSD drive I keep getting this random noise coming from my computer. It only happens for a split second and it is totally random on the intervals that it comes. It is kind of a really fast buzz. I really don't know how to explain it. Sometimes it...

Ok I am looking to finally make the jump to an SSD drive for my desktop. I am currently looking at the Crucial C300 128GB, OCZ Vertex 2 120GB, and the G.Skill Phoenix Pro 120GB. Which one would you guys go with? Also I am open to suggestions for alternatives to these as well. I have a...

Ok I have a question. I recently got a new PSU from HP and it came with the switch on 230v. I live in the US and I am almost positive that this should have been on 115. Do I need to swap it over or did they put it in that position intentionally?(Yes I know this is a stupid question, but you...

Ok I just came across this keyboard and thought I would share. http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/a85c/?cpg=cj I thought it was kind of neat. More novelty than functionality, but hey some people go for that kind of stuff. Personally I just ordered a G15 today though. :D In order to really...

Ok I am having a weird problem with my MX Revolution mouse. It works fine on a hard mouse pad like a Rocketfish or even a desktop. Then I take and put it on a cloth mousemat(I have tried both a cheap Wal-Mart one and a Razer Goliathus) and the cursor's movement becomes so sporadic that it is...

Ok here is my situation. As you can see in the picture below something odd is going on here. This graphical error is happening in all games.(I tried Crysis as well with the same results) Any ideas what is causing this? I am running Windows 7 64-bit Pro RTM with a 9800GT, Q6600, & 4GB of RAM...

Ok I just got a new HP W2207H monitor and it is starting to worry me. Every time I change the resolution it makes this deep popping or clicking noise. It almost sounds like someone lightly thumping the plastic from the inside. Should I be worried? Edit: Just noticed a very quiet hum when it...

Ok I have a laptop that is about 5 years old. It was working fine when all of a sudden the screen just went black. The fans are running and the screens backlight is coming on, but other than that it is pretty much dead. I opened it up and it looks like the fan ports were stuffed up with...

So does anybody know how the 9700m GTS stacks up against the 8800m GTS? I am getting mixed opinions on this one. Here are the specs for the 9700m GTS for anyone that hasn't seen them yet: Core: G94 Core Freq: 530MHz Shaders: 48 Shader Freq: 1325MHz GFlops/s: 190.8 Texture fill-rate...

Ok well I was planning on picking up the Gateway P-173XL in a few weeks, but now Toshiba has come out with a new laptop that looks compelling. I know the Toshiba laptop has faster RAM and I am not sure about the new processor.(It has a slower clock, but a higher bus) I am not sure how the...

I am torn between these 2 routers. I know they both have the same hardware, so basically it comes down to which one has the better software? Thoughts?

Does anybody know of a set of mouse skates that will fit the MX Revolution? I just switched to the rocketfish pad today and it has made it very clear to me that my feat are worn out on my mouse! :(

I was just wondering what your thoughts were on Exactmat vs. Destructor. I am currently torn between the 2 and still pondering if the Destructor is worth the extra $$$. :confused:
