    palit geforce gtx 460 sonic is very noisy

    forgot to add, you will be needing 4 M2x10 screws to mount the cooler because the screws given is to short for 460 according to the review. Just to be sure check the separation between the screw holes, it must be 53x53mm for this cooler to work. edit: list of coolers for non reference gtx 460...

    palit geforce gtx 460 sonic is very noisy

    Dust? Better buy an aftermarket cooler like arctic cooler if you want it to be quiet. I dont use any of their coolers but planning to get two of them for 460 sli, have been looking at reviews they seem to perform a lot better than stock coolers at lower noise level. Dont know about warranty...

    AM3+ Motherboards: Anyone know when we'll see them?

    amd need to release bd fast, summer is to late. They have only been bumping processor speed instead of a genuine upgrade. Now sandy bridge is out, using less power, overclock like a dream and the boards are not expensive either, high end amd processors are obsolete. Amd can only sell mid and low...

    Quick Sync is not available for P67 motherboards

    that sucks... i planned on buying p67, i thought it will have onboard graphic, will be useful if anything happens to gpu card. and quicksync is disabled for p67 and also h67 when using dedicated gpu. Why would intel do this? I dont think they oversaw it, qs would be the reasons for many to go...

    Monitor: Dell LCD or Samsung LED

    i sometimes use my 32in samsung tv as pc. I have to drop the sharpness to 0 to make the text look as good as on my pc monitor. I am also recommending the Dell. You can sit nearer to the monitor without seeing individual pixels because of the higher resolution and games will look sharper as well.

    Recommend a desktop monitor to me!

    The reaction of the monitor C1 suggested is 8ms. If you think this is to high you must go for tn panel, it doesnt have the blacks or color spectrums like a c pva panel. samsung xl2370 seems like a good tn monitor, it is led backlit so the blacks are deep and contrasts are good as well. Although...

    recommend SMALL cases

    I have used the thermaltake lanbox lite casing for half a year before moving to a tower casing because i didnt have space at that time. It worked well for me and i thought the quality was fine, I was using phenom 2 925 and ati 5770. If you are going to overclock or using high powered cpu i...

    good fans to pair with fan controller?

    perhaps a front to back airflow hsf would give better airflow in your casing than downward hsf since the hsf sits in between intake and exhaust. scythe mini ninja should fit but a bigger one could also fit. Make sure to check the dimensions properly if you decide to buy one. I ended up buying 3...

    this http://techpowerup.com/137661/AMD-Announces-Beginning-of-Fusion-APU-Era.html it is new cpu or rather apu (accelerated processing unit) which combines both cpu and gpu on one chip thats why it is called fusion. The processors will be used for ultraportables and netbooks. There arent any...

    gtx460 1gb single slot. fastest card for all you single slot guys

    interesting card. the review should have included the core voltage, without much heatsink and airflow a low voltage will help lower temperature a lot. I am running my 460 with reference cooler at 700 core with 0.912V stable while the default voltage is 0.97V. I have been folding with it everyday...

    GPU for HTPC & Gaming...

    the performance is about the same but with lower power consumption and dx11 support which will be supported by bf3. With your your resolution it should be decent enough card. The cpu shouldnt be any problem unless you are using pentium D which will bottleneck your pc. Psu also shouldnt be any...
