    Broken GPU, new for this build?

    Hello everyone. I think i fried my GPU trying to overclock my computer. Whenever i install the newest AMD drivers my graphics driver keeps crashing over and over when i boot my PC. (i cant do anything outside safe-mode) Ive reinstalled windows, but no change. As soon as AMD drivers go on...

    If anyone searches this later on: I called HP yesterday - in denmark they also have 3 year warranty. They came today and replaced the screen free of charge. Nice service.

    Monitor randomly shuts off - advice on a new?

    That is true :) Hardware is expensive in denmark though - a new HP ZR2740w 27" is 850$ :( and the very cheapest 27" 2560x1440 screen i can get is 550$

    Monitor randomly shuts off - advice on a new?

    But this is what i have right now. So buying a new one will just be a huge expense to get to where i already am - just working correctly :p

    Monitor randomly shuts off - advice on a new?

    Hello I own a HP zr2740w that i have been pretty happy with. Then after 2 years i think it started dying on me. Whenever i play games or something similar after a decent amount of time (like 2 hours) it goes dark. Everything else keeps running. Turn the screen off, wait 5 sec, turn it...

    How hard is it to chance stock cooler on gfx card?

    Hi everyone I have a Club 3D HD6990 in my computer. I am still happy with the performance even though its over a year since I build my rig. However the noise that card makes when it performs - jesus. So I was looking to buy something like this and replace the stock cooler...

    Headsets - help finding the perfect ones

    Haha, I often play with friends using voice chat. I dont think they will appreciate joining me in the bathroom. ;) I like that i can adjust the length of the cable in the base station, so that there is not excessive amounts of cable lying around if i decide to charge it while i wear it...

    Headsets - help finding the perfect ones

    No, did not =) Don´t know if this will result in me having the cord in all the time though. Maybe I should find this in a store somewhere to try them on. I like the auto mute when rotating the microphone. I'm not a fan of the leather ear cushions and cant see if they got cloth or i can buy...

    Headsets - help finding the perfect ones

    Thanks for all of your replies. The replaceable cord is a must, since I have now owned 2 Steelseries 5H V2 and both of them is broken in the cord. Its getting to the point where it is ridiculous to buy a new headset every time the cord breaks, when the rest of the headset is in perfect...

    I'm having a really hard time finding the perfect headset. I am using the Steelseries 5h v2 currently. http://steelseries.com/products/audio/steelseries-5hv2 They are pretty good but have some core problems. I somehow end up getting the cord damaged (getting caught in the chair), which...

    High-end gaming system

    I decided to go with a 6990 and if i get microstutter, i can upgrade by adding a 6970 to the mix. Only this is, that will introduce some heat issues having all that running :) I know i could get 6950 and probably flash them to 6970, but i dont want to deal with that, and i cant fit 3 cards in...

    Will i get microstutter?

    Hi, building a new rig, and cant really determine if i should go for 2 cards or 1. Im afraid of microstutter so if someone who knows about this could please judge and explain, that would be great. I have a 2560x1440 screen and thinking about either: 1 x 6990 4GB ram 2 x 6970 2GB ram...

    Still worried about micro-stutter. I get more frames running sli/crossfire, but it doesnt really matter if it stutters compared to 1 GPU.

    High-end gaming system

    Thanks for all the tips, Im gonna go with the corsair 600T case. Looks decent and has all the stuff i want. Still really cant decide on GPUs could go: 2 x Club 3D Radeon HD6950 (2 GB) (cheapest) 2 x MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC (2 GB) (middle) 2 x Gainward GeForce GTX...

    High-end gaming system

    Only reason to go with the 3GB RAM GPU is that bf3 seems to max out the ram on the gfxcard hard. Going sli / CF wont give me more ram. =/ ill change mb into Extreme3 Gen3. I also decided to sell my old build for a low cost just to get rid of it all. So ill need a new case. Its hard to find...

    High-end gaming system

    Ok, so i revised the build. will reuse storage and maybe case. Decided to go with 1 big card, and maybe go sli at a later point, rather than using crossfire in smaller cards. CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor ($179.99 @ Microcenter) CPU Cooler: Thermalright HR-02 Macho...

    High-end gaming system

    Thank you for your input. I'm a bit worried about switching to crossfire over sli because it seems that microstutter is worse running CF. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-geforce-stutter-crossfire,2995-5.html

    Silent gaming (need help)

    What happens when games need mroe than 2 gigs

    i dont know much about it, but my guess is by the time games requires more than 3.3 gigs to run smoothly, all of the apps can run on 64 bit ? I'm buying a new rig soon, and my idea was to buy 4 gigs of ram.. and when i need more i would by 4 gigs more and switch to 64 bit vista ..

    Need power supply

    They reason these are the ones listed are because i could get everything from the same dealer, assembled and tested and a bit cheaper, but they only got those Chieftec and a LC-POWER silent giant green 550W.. Are they _bad_ ? or are they just "not as good" ?
