    X264 video encode: audio going out of sync

    i'm at my wit's end here. long story short: i record gameplay with DXTORY, audio stays in sync throughout. as soon as i do any form of encoding on it, the audio track plays slower than the video. they'll be in sync at the beginning of the video, and gradually go out of sync. by the end of a 1...

    does anyone have experience with this case and custom coolers, like Asus's DCII, MSI's Twin Frozr, and Gigabyte's Windforce X3? i heard that the vertical video card mount can cause issues with some heatpipe designs.

    video card maximum board draw

    last time i checked, a PCI-e x16 2.x slot can deliver a maximum of 150W to an add-in card. if that's the case, why is everyone saying that the GTX 680 have access to only 225W? shouldn't it be 300W (150W + 2 x 75W)? ditto for the HD 7970, which should have access to 375W? or am i missing...

    Overclocking phenom II 965 on 890gpa-ud3h

    For whatever reasons, I'm having problems breaching 4ghz. Heck, I can't even seem to push into 3.9. Even at 1.5v, the system would boot just fine at both 3.9 and 4, but would bluescreen within seconds of running prime95. I'm using a corsair h60 for cooling. CPU temps never go over 52c (or...

    Crossfire a 6950 with 5850

    Can it be done? I can potentially pick up a 6950 for cheap, and it would be nice to cfx with my 5850. If this doesn't work, there's the new 5850 extreme.
