    26" Hanns-G monitor on the Egg - to buy or not to buy

    Hey guys, debating whether to get this monitor or not. The number of reviews with dead pixels makes me pause, though. Newegg reviews aside, how is Hanns-G quality in general? Would be doing a lot of gaming on it. It's a monster...26", 1080p LINK thoughts? Edit: Caved & bought it :cool:

    Cooling issues - Scythe Samurai

    Anyone running one of these? I'm a bit concerned with the temps. I recently slapped one on a X6 1055t to replace the incredibly loud AMD stock heatsink; my temps seem a bit high, especially at load (Core Temp reported 52c while playing Serious Sam HD! :o). My case is a slightly older Thermaltake...

    Any DDR2 AMD boards that POST w/ a Phenom II X6 1055T OOTB?

    I'm upgrading to a 1055T soon, and would like to reuse my existing G.Skill DDR2. Was wondering if there were any boards out there that would initally post & then allow for a BIOS update? Not looking to spend too much (<$100). I was initially considering the Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3, and the...

    Pushing my luck?

    Hey all, I'm about to replace an E4300 (see sig) with a QX6700 @ stock. I'm running a Earthwatts 430 "D" (Delta) that's roughly 10 months old. Rig also has six fans & a cold cathode. With the increased power demands, will the system be dangerously underpowered? Tks...

    Attention 8800GTS 512 G92 owners

    I just recently purchased the eVGA varient, & installed the 169.21's. Just for kicks, I fired up Doom3, and set the resolution to 1600x1200 HQ 16x AF...and there was some noticable stutter! WTF! I figured this card would destroy that game, being that it's 4 years old now. I've read that...

    Odd issue with AA & Doom 3

    I recently played through Doom 3 @ 1600x1200 HQ (no AA) on my C2D 'rig in the sig'. Timedemo = ~123 FPS. When I tried to run the game at 16x12 HQ, 8X AA, the framerate took a huge hit...~22 FPS! The mouse cursor is kinda jerky as well. WTH? I was under the assumption that my system would handle...

    Power supply question

    I have a Antec Neopower 480W power supply; the connector is 20 pin, so I guess it's the older ATX 1.2 spec. My motherboard is a Biostar T-Force 965PT, which has a 24 pin ATX connector. Anyone know if it's safe to plug it in directly, or should I buy an 24 pin adapter? I didn't see anything on...
