    anyone intimately familiar with Gigabyte X58A-UD5 BIOS for i7 OCing?

    I have my system 99.9% stable for 24/7 gaming/surfing/multimedia/vent server/word processing/etc but, it did crash today. I'm not sure which voltage to raise. the CPU dynamic vcore is already 1.39v under load and the QPI/VTT is 1.47v already. I can't run any lower. Should I be messing with...

    for i7 920 @ 3.4GHz, which R9 series card is for me?

    I was thinking I was going to get a R9 290X until I started reading around, and noticing my CPU will be bottlenecking a 290X, so which R9 is for me? 280X? 270? I don't think I'm going to need TrueAudio, just mainly interested in maxing out the CPU and MANTLE. The system is in my sig.

    Moderators being condescending and not making any sense

    Here's the story: I made a post this morning. I went and read some other posts. I made another post. I went to sleep. So this moderator comes on and gives me a warning while I was sleeping. Then, while I was STILL sleeping, he sends me an infraction saying that "I've warned you once, yet you...

    Will older Noctua NH-U9B fit on a GIGABYTE GA-G41M-Combo board?

    the Noctua is the non-SE2 version, and the motherboard has the stock Intel HSF right now. I'm trying to hand-down this Noctua but Noctua's site doesn't have the G41M-combo on their list. I'm hoping someone on the forum will know if it fits .

    What's the lowest laptop GFX chipset that would play WoW?

    Like, which chipset is the minimum to play at least a smooth 40fps on medium settings? I know the dell Inspiron line with like Intel X3100 graphics and the like will not work, how about the Toshibas with the AMD 6310? Please name any chipset models found in laptops that you can think of that...

    Suggest bare minimum video encoding laptop.

    That means RELIABILITY is #1 consideration. #2 is CPU (so i3 or i5, probably) and system bandwidth. SSD? or not? An intel X-25V is probably fine, or an 80GB X-25M. GO

    SOLVED: man, this forum sucks - it's infected with disease apparently.

    I can't even click on Quick Links without it popping up a new window, and then it doesn't even go to Quick Links drop down menu. In addition to THAT whole rats nest you guys haven't taken care of for the past week or so, if I'm in a thread, it will redirect to some scam site. I have ru 3...

    Are all you Conservative Republicans so dumb that you think jokes are serious?

    Because I see far too many of you morons taking comedy seriously. You shouldn't mix your comedy in with your serious life. Comedy is seriously funny, but what makes it funny is the irony. Get it? Irony? DO you get it yet?? I didn't think so. Try and deduct that one. And guess what. All the...

    What is the reason behind all stores OOS of DDR3???

    Everyone is out of stock of all the good DDR3. I've never seen so many "auto-notify" buttons on Newegg. Just trying to get my system build solidified and I was lucky I found some HyperX 2000 MHz C9 for $199 at compusa.com! Is DDR3 production ramping up soon? What's the prediction regarding...

    Strange intermittent noise coming from WD Black 640GB

    I have a WD Black 640GB in an external enclosure. Once in a while (maybe once a month or less), it makes a noise like it's starting up (kind of a scratchy *clank*) when it's on and hasn't been on long enough to power down. It doesn't sound the same as starting up, but similar. I'm guessing it's...
