    The best Z77 Micro-ATX board?

    Simple question. The Asus Gene V was great, but nobody sells that anymore. My local stores sell the Gigabyte G1 Sniper M3 for $99. Need one for my Bitfenix Prodigy M build. Has to fit a CM 212 Evo.

    DVI->VGA monitor ok for gtx 670?

    My 1920x1080 monitor is being fixed and I only got one replacement monitor. It's an Acer "whitescreen", around 1440x900 resolution I believe. It only has one VGA input and I'm wondering if a VGA cable (via VGA->DVI in gpu) will work fine or not. Will the monitor be blurry as hell?

    Asus VH242H or VE248H?

    Which one should I buy? Prices are nearly the same, but the VE248H has a GTG response time of 2ms, while the VG242H only has 5ms. The VE248H is reported to have ghosting though, although people fix that with turning OD off/reducing trace free. Opinions?

    Is LCD/IPS/OLED that bad? Or am I missing something

    I own a Samsung UE37D5000 LCD, Dell UE2312HM IPS and a Playstation Vita OLED, but all suffer from the same problem. Still images are great and perfect, but once I start moving, the problems appear. On the PS Vita, the OLED screen is marvelous, but when I turn my crosshair in Unit 13 at...

    PSU noise not normal? (HCG 750)

    I've just assembled my rig yesterday and everything seemed fine until my (sensitive apparently) ears started hearing something coming out of the rig. It's no superloud coil whine or anything, but it's audible. I found out it seems to be coming from the PSU. It's a faint electrical sound...

    No ghosting monitor...does it exist?

    I need a new monitor, and as the title said...I want to know if a non-ghosting model exists. I currently own a Dell XPS 17 laptop which suffers from heavy ghosting, atleast I think it's called that. When you move the mouse left/right quick, it develops a second mouse pointer which ends up...

    Is my Dell XPS 17 gpu/screen faulty?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDr4sEP2Trc Just wondering, is this normal? I've been having it for several months now and it does annoy me now and then. Just want to know if this is normal about lcd technology or something. Don't want to buy a new laptop just to see it happen again.

    Why does my mouse cursor keep ghosting?

    Hey Anandtech, I've been noticing, since some time, that my mouse cursor has this "lighter version/ghost" following it when I move it around. This is best noticeable on dark backgrounds, but it is also noticeable on lighter backgrounds. Also, when I move it real quick from left -> right or...

    GT 540M crashing on dx11

    So I've installed WoW and ran it on dx9. Ran at mostly 60 fps in org but it was kinda jerky/unsmooth. I quickly figured out my GT 540M is a Directx11 card and that's what causing the jerkiness (dx11 cards run unsmooth when WoW uses dx9, my high end desktop has this to) Problem is, whenever...

    Frame skipping -> view distance?

    Hello, I'd like to discuss my problem: frame skipping. Basically, while running around in the outdoor world (flying/mount/on foot), I sometimes get these small freezes/skips which last for a split second (really fast) but they're noticeable. It looks like my character skips a frame. I...

    Frame skipping/ Reduce input lag...?

    Here it goes, Back when WoW didn't support DirectX11 (while I had a DirectX 11 card), I had random tiny freezes, two different types. The first occured when I reached the view distance limit (I think). It would always happen on the same place (I knew this because I ran backwards and forth...

    i7 2600k stock cooler overheats

    Idle (youtube/winamp/internet) : ~30C UEFI: 60C+ Prime 95/Linx : 90C+ Speed: Stock (3.4 Ghz) I have not used any thermal paste, only the one which was already applied to the stock cooler (by intel) This leads me to believe I did something wrong while installing the cooler
