    Which Motherboard should i buy ? P67 or Z68

    Z68 as you will replace your 2500k next year to match up your video card for more resource hungry 3d games

    Motherboards with Wi-fi?

    My current setup: Netgear WNR834+WNR2000 It works well. if you don`t play games use a USB-Wi Fi stick would be more advantage

    could any of the NH-D14 users post their screenshot with case open? my default setting is 3.7Ghz with i7 2600k, temp never excess 42 degrees under full load with AID64 cpu stress test. ROOM TEMP is around 20 degrees i haven`t try anything greater than 3.7Ghz as I don`t play games

    Noctua NH-D14 Mounting position

    I have finally replaced my old i7 2600K stock fan with NH-D14. My first impression with NH-D14 is, wow it is a big guy when the sales hand it over to me. It cost me 90AUD in sydney. but I am very happy with its performance. anyway, back to the topic, I shouldn`t worry much about the way it...

    Radeon HD 6790 unlocked to 32ROPS

    it is not just ROPS, the unlocked card has better spec then a standard HD6850, think about the performance of 6790 and HD6850. It will probably as good as HD6870 if cooling isn`t a problem, but we will have to see until the bios is released to the public and do a full benchmark test.

    Radeon HD 6790 unlocked to 32ROPS

    a chinese hardware website post a successful unlocked ATI HD6790 (flashed BIOS) based on the unlocked information is far better than HD6850 original link:http://news.mydrivers.com/1/190/190859.htm

    Should I get a new power supply?

    1000W is overkill for your current rig. a quality psu such as HX850 can handle most of SLI/cf

    Sapphire HD 6850 Idel Temp too high

    does anyone know if memory is stressed at max Mhz would lower the life span of video card? I am sure there are people using dual or 3 monitors like myself and operates at 24/7 a day. if you are able to lower the memory cloak during idle on dual monitor setup, that would be less power/heats. but...

    Sapphire HD 6850 Idel Temp too high

    after removing second monitor cable attached to the video card, the GPU-Z has reported that GPU is idle at 100 and Memory cloak 300. So dual monitor is the reason that causing memory cloak maxed at 1000Mhz. I think this also explains why I have burned my ATI9800PRO/6800GT/6600GT, I have been...
