    two monitor set up question

    I have a two monitor setup of different sizes, but I only game on the main one, I use the second one for secondary programs running simultaneously (vent, browser, etc.) It's very convenient.

    U2410 vs. U2412M; also, SALE price now vs. Labor Day

    I have the 2412M, and I love it. From what I gathered from that HardOCP thread, they tested it as having less input lag than the 2410: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1037575075&postcount=321 Tester's recommendation: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1037578606&postcount=349

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    I'm curious why all the hate for the U2412M? I just got one and love it. I didn't get one to do graphics, so color accuracy wasn't as critical. I upgraded from an 8-year old Samsung 240T, so granted, anything will look better. But I see this as more a media consumption monitor, so it's not...

    ASUS RMA Site Up - With RMA Form

    I just saw this on Anand's main page. Registered my board for replacement, I'm glad they're offering to ship the replacement board first with a credit card on record.

    Just got an email from Newegg regarding P67

    Same, when the news broke, I didn't even bother calling/emailing Newegg or Asus. At most, I visited Newegg's site today to verify that they did indeed pull the Sandybridge CPU's/mobos.

    Just got an email from Newegg regarding P67

    This, and also the features to O.C. and use the on-die GPU, I think. I'd love to have the option of a back-up GPU.

    Just got an email from Newegg regarding P67

    I imagine the mass email just went out. It's pretty much what I've already resigned to do - use SATA III, wait for updated boards.

    Just got an email from Newegg regarding P67

    Edit: Regarding P67 & H67 Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you. Newegg has recently become aware of a design issue that is affecting recent models of Intel Sandy Bridge platform motherboards. We are working with Intel to identify the exact nature of this problem. As always...

    Here's hoping Intel and the OEM's can make good.

    Intel says flaw in Series 6 Sandy Bridge chipsets

    I had upgraded to a i7 950 last year and just sold the CPU/mobo to cover changing over to a 2500K/P8P67. My first reaction to this news was to kick myself for not sticking with the 950. But in retrospect, this should *knock wood* not affect me. I haven’t had any issues yet on the 3/Gbs...

    Connecting case fans to pwr_fan connector

    Oh, that, I don't know, I just put it together last night, so I haven't even taken a good look through the UEFI yet. edit: I did took a quick look at the manual (dowloaded pdf from website), and it mentions the included asus utility software has a cpu and chassis fan controls, still don't know...

    Connecting case fans to pwr_fan connector

    There should be a 3rd fan connector on the P8P67 Pro labeled pwr_fan, top right corner of the board above the EPU switch. I used that one and it worked fine.

    P8P67 Board and X-Fi PCI Card

    I uninstalled my creative drivers, rebooted, reinstalled creative's drivers and it finally recognized my x-fi card. Did you reboot after uninstalling?

    Monitors shown at CES 2011

    http://ces.cnet.com/8301-32254_1-20027970-283.html Still no one making an IPS, 1920x1200, LED 120 Hz monitor :( But LG's IPS looks promising, even at 1920x1080. And no word on Viewsonic's LED 120 Hz is coming to the US, at least none that I could find...

    Help me pick my next video card!

    Voted 6950. I just got one as well, so I’ll share my reasoning. My original budget was $300. I was close to getting a 570, $50 isn’t much, but I wanted to stick with my original budget. From what I saw in the reviews, the 570 and 6950 both were great bang/bucks; dollar/fps. I...

    6950 Second DVI not working

    Just got the card today. I know both of my monitors work because I was using them with my older 5750 (extended desktop). 10.12 Catalyst didn't work. I tried reverting to older drivers that were on the disk. Switch monitors, both work on DVI-1, but neither work on DVI-2. Manually hitting the...

    AMD 6900 reviews thread (UPDATED)

    I think the real story is the 6950 beating the 570 in several of those benches. It seems the 6900's excel at HQ rez and settings - I'd like to see benches with 4x, 8x + AA, all the bells and whistles turned up, ultra settings, etc. It seems that's where the 6900's hidden advantages are. From...

    Tell us your purchase, HD 6900s.

    Ordered the XFX 6950. I'm upgrading from a 5750, which was just a place holder when my 8800 GTX died earlier this year.5750 will go into my old/ backup PC. I was tempted to go for the GTX 570, but I wanted to stay around $300. I wish Nvidia had come out with its GTX 560 by now, priced to...

    Poll - Resolution/GPU

    My previous GPU was an 8800GTX @ 1920x1200. It died after 3 years, so I got a hold-over 5750. I'm looking to upgrade to a 6950 or 560-570, $300 ~ 350 range. Don't plan to upgrade after that for another 2-3 years at least. Voted 1920x1200 without top GPU.

    Request to Anandtech staff after the GTX580 review.

    I would point out to the OP, that testing the newer cards against older cards is difficult because the CPU platform could also be a factor. A newer card may be bottlenecked by an older CPU, making the GPU seem less of a worthwhile upgrade than if it were paired with a newer CPU. So if a site...

    Intel wants to charge extra to unlock CPU features?

    Worrisome because how do you think Intel will prevent someone from unlocking on their own without paying Intel? I don't know about you, but I really don't want some sort of hardware DRM. So I'm WORRIED that Intel will implement that. No angry mobs here, just expressing my concerns. edit: I...
