    punch down screws? Mine had T-screws, but i totally screwed them in the wrong way, but still worked. After I screwed them in, I realized "Hmmm, 'T' screw. Probably should look like a T when screwed in"

    I'm worried...lga 1155 mobo with lga 1156 heat sink?

    I just installed a Xigmatek Gaia on a 1155 board last night. I had your same question, googled it, and as it turned out people were correct in that it is the same as the 1156 holes.

    4xxx Radeon to 6850 and WORSE performance..HELP!

    Well, everything seems to be better for some reason today. I did a system restore back a few days. And while it was doing a system restore, I noticed something. I kinda made a boo-boo with my power supply. My old one had a 24-pin ATX and this one had a 20 and a separate 4. I forgot to plug...

    4xxx Radeon to 6850 and WORSE performance..HELP!

    Usually I play with v-sync off, it is just recommended to be on for DCUO. I just installed my old card again and going to see how that goes. Yes, my framerate without v-sync off was higher obviously, but the game was still hitching/hiccuping when it didnt used to (as seen in SC2 and DUO now)...
