    Are there any 30" 120Hz monitors announced?

    I've seen LCD TV's with this kind of refresh rates, why not big screen LCD monitors? I would sure like to game at 2560x1600 @ 120Hz with Vsync ON. I game on my Dell 3008WFP with 3D Vision Discover (cheap Red/Cyan glasses) as we speak and it's gorgeous (despite some ghosting here and there). I...

    What do you think about the Thermaltake Toughpower 1500W?

    I need to change the PSU and I was thinking about getting the TT ToughPower 1500W. It's not needed right now, but more Watts never hurt nobody. And I like the thought that I'm not running on the limit and there's extra juice to spare. It will have to power a system running QX9650 @ 4.05GHz...

    Who here has reference design 780i mobo (evga or xfx) and QX9650?

    I am having a hard time getting my QX9650 to run stable at 4.0GHz on EVGA 780i. I've tried various settings, it won't stabilize until I give 1.513 Vcore, which seems a little high compared to other's voltages. I've seen many examples of QX9650 running 4GHz with way less, like 1.475v, some even...

    EVGA 680i and Quad Core overclocking

    Just about all reviews I've seen so far with 680i motherboards of any make and Kentsfield processors, the motherboard was not able to obtain higher than 350MHz stable FSB. It seems Nvidia/EVGA have done it again! Check this. Link This is great news for SLI owners that want to OC their Quad Cores.
