    Best RAID1/5 setup inside my PC case?

    A few years back I switched from a bunch of random external USB drives to a proper RAID5 setup in a synology NAS box. It's exactly what I wanted, a simple and reliable assistant that does everything for me so no chance of the user (me) fucking something up and breaking the entire array. It's...

    Blower-style GPUs only when using SilverStone RV02/FT02?

    Does anybody have any experience using a non-blower style GPU in their SilverStone Raven or Fortress? I ask because I remember a comment from SilverStone somewhere that stated it's better to use a blower style GPU cooler as it complements the updraft orientated design? EVGA's new ACX cooler...

    Strange horizontal lines in the top-right of my monitor (VG248QE)

    In the top-right corner every other row is slightly darker. This only shows up most clearly when LightBoost is enabled and less so at 144Hz. At 60Hz it's completely gone... I've never seen or heard anything like this. Is this a known issue with LightBoost/120Hz monitors? This is a brand...

    C3 state is unstable with my OC settings, work around? (i7 4770K)

    I've currently got my i7 4770K OC'd to 4.5Ghz at 1.27v. Any lower voltage is unstable, so is any higher clockspeed at any voltage. Not what I was hoping for but I'll deal with it. However I'd like to at least take advantage of Haswell's (new?) power saving features but I can't even enable the C3...

    Recommended air cooler for OC'd i7 4770K?

    I've recently upgraded from a Nehalem to Haswell only to realize that my existing tower cooler doesn't fit the new mounting holes around the CPU. At the same time this CPU does indeed get extremely hot very fast as reviewers like Anand pointed out. I'm willing to spend a large amount of money...

    Audio Equalizer is applied twice when viewing fraps footage

    Hello, For some reason my fraps footage has the equalizer effect on it which is doubled again when playing it back. This started happening a few weeks ago, I've tried to trace the exact moment this started happening but had no luck. Any audiophiles know what I'm doing wrong? Thank you for...

    Vertex 4 only running at half the rated speed?

    2 days ago I upgraded from an Intel X25-M G2 80GB to a Vertex 4 512GB. I expected some improvement, even more so considering I reinstalled win7 after a few years of continues use. However I'm still getting laggy programs on occasion in scenario's that I imagine would be gone with a good SSD. I...

    Calibrating an Asus VG236H ... help?

    Hello, I recently bought an Asus VG236H (comes with nvidia's 3D vision) and decided that it might be time to invest some time into the art of screen calibration. Problem is that I'm hopelessly lost... I'm using this website and QuickGamma. For the adjustments I use the buttons on the monitor...

    Sound card for Bad Company 2?

    Curious, what is AT's opinion on the sound quality of bc2? In particular, is it worth it to buy a high quality sound card? I don't find the 'wartapes' option that attractive right now. It adds some nice effects but makes explosions sound muffled as if the sound quality is maxed out somehow...

    HDMI audio from an 8800GTX?

    I've been wondering if it's possible to get any audio signal from my 8800GTX. I just tried connecting it to my TV using a DVI -> HDMI converter however no audio came trough. To see if it wasn't my TV I connected my PS3 and got sound instantly. From what I know a DVI cable has no audio of any...

    Memory timings. Do they matter for everyday performance?

    In an attempt to get my PC more stable, I gave my memory some slack timings (9-9-9-30 2T, they're rated at 8-8-8-24) but I'm not noticing any real difference while playing games or just browsing the web. For casual everyday use, does it matter at what timing your memory is at?

    Does 3D Vision benefit from SLI?

    I'm interested in buying nvidia's 3D glasses sometime in the future however I'm wondering if 2 separately rendered camera angles would mean much greater flexibility for SLI. Normally SLI doesn't work as well for one title as it does for another but what happens when you throw 3D Vision in the...

    i7 920 OCing to 4GHz - Problem between keyboard and chair or just a bad chip?

    Some might remember an earlier thread I made asking for purchasing advice. Since I bought it I've spent quite a lot on the 'net figuring out what does what and comparing results. However, there are still some things I don't fully understand and I can't seem to figure out if this chip just...

    Best USB3/SATA3 add-on card for P6T Deluxe V2?

    When I bought this motherboard I assumed any PCI slot would suffice for USB3 and SATA3. Such a large white slot should give ample bandwidth for such a small connector right..!? Apparently not... This is what I'm thinking of getting: http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=lGYmelQ8mJvPtYTv It...

    Only 2 out of 3 DIMMs detected..? [SOLVED]

    Hello, I recently purchased a P6T Deluxe V2 with an i7 920 and OCZ3X1600LV6GK memory. However, only two DIMMs are actually seen by the motherboard. In the post and bios only 4GB is shown, CPU-Z tells me that the first slot is empty while the 3rd and 5th one are occupied with 2GB of memory...

    CPU bottleneck with GTX480 (x2?)

    Hello, I'm currently thinking of buying an EVGA X58 SLI mobo with an i7 960 CPU, OCZ DDR3 1600Mhz 3x2GB (Triple channel) and a GTX480. However, I'm not sure if an i7 960 will be enough for a GTX480. If it isn't, how much would I have to overclock my CPU to compensate? Also, when the GTX480...
