    Anyone use the Gigabyte X79-UD5?

    Is this a stable board? Are there any niggling issues present? Looking around the internet i get the impression the hardware is quality but the BIOS leaves a lot ot be desired. The board has been out for a while so issues should be ironed out by now you would think. Newegg has quite a few...

    I hate the fans on my GTX 580 Direct CU II

    There are a couple of things I really hate about the cheap Chinese fans on this 400 quid video card. I want to vent some frustration. For a start the fans when revved up make an awful droning noise, normally this is not really an issue as the card more or less stays silent even when under...

    Deploying Syspreped image onto new SSD

    Hi, Can I just dump a syspreppd (generalized) Win 7 image onto a brand new SSD or is it best to install Windows 7 from fresh? Even more so, is it possible to just use imagex to capture the contents of my OS drive and dump it straight onto the SSD. Will Windows pick the new drive up as an...

    Radeon 6970 + 5450

    I am thinking about using two video cards in my PC; the 5450 to drive my 30" monitor and the 6970 to drive my 120Hz primary monitor. The 6970 only has 1 dual link DVI connector and I refuse to pay in excess of £70 for a displayport to DVI adapter. Is there anything I should be wary of...

    Launch game on specific monitor? (nVidia)

    Since nVidia discontinued support for GeForce in Windows 7 - nView is out of the question. So is there a way to configure profiles for games to launch on a specific monitor rather than the primary without playing games in windowed mode?

    GTX 295 that hot?

    I have a GTX 295 in for testing and its idling at around 68C inside the case. Under full load when both GPU's are being used it has risen as high as 91C. Looking at benchmark sites they have tested the card at idle around high 40's and load high 70's. Similar to a GTX 280 although i suppose...

    Much point upgrading to GTX 295?

    The GTX 280 is starting to feel the strain a little at 2560x1600. I am tempted for a new GPU but i don't want to slam 350 notes down on a card and find out some next gen high end kit comes out at the end of July. Worth an upgrade? Or should i wait a couple of months and see where we are at?

    Corsair HX620 handle GTX 280 SLI and Core i7 920?

    I have a single GTX 280 and i don't know weather to upgrade to a single 295 or just buy another 280 for SLI. Either solution works out economically for me as i can sell my 280 and put it towards a 295, or i can keep the 280 and buy a second card. The latter will be faster obviously. The...
