    fan speed on overclocking

    general question on overclocking... if I plan on OC graphics card and chip on an i5 slightly, is there a downside in setting all my fan speeds in the pc, the chip and the case fans, to high? other than the noise.. is it bad to have fans set to high? thanks

    [fixed] Dragon Age 2 Low Performance on Nvidia Cards [fixed]

    I have 1 560ti now... how does sli work?.. could I pair it with a 570 or 580? or do you have to pair it with exactly the same card. I'm assuming this will just help DA2 a bit, but not fix the actuall problem as everyone is having.

    Intel says flaw in Series 6 Sandy Bridge chipsets

    here's a question I'm afraid to ask ASUS... can I keep my board until the new versions are created... then send it in months from now for a replacement... or do they want their bad board now, and expect us to go pc'less for months till the new one is created? thoughts?

    Marvell ??

    thanks, so a marvell port is there just to add more ports on the motherboard? So technically there is no difference if I plug a 6.0HDD into the 6.0sata controller, or if I plug it into the 6.0marvell controller? sorry.. just want to make sure I fully understand it

    I just spoke to ASUS, they told me even though they are aware of an intel problem it has not been verified that there is a problem with their board p67pro. That if there is a recall they will notify me directly. Is this me or are they trying not to do anything about the problem? Kept saying...
