    Why is my vdroop so bad?

    I set it to 1.53V in bios and it still only gets 1.37 when i'm running prime95 with a 1055T. WTH is going on...Which vcore should I be using to determine if my voltage is too high? I don't want to set it at 1.53 all the time but the god damn thing on CPU-Z says it's at 1.37.

    Is crossfire 5750 enough to run eyefinity for three 20" monitors?

    I want to trade my 24" monitor for three 20-22" monitors. Will crossfire 5750 be enough to do this? Chances are the resolution will be 1680x1050 or 1600x900 unless I can score a good deal on a 1080p 22" monitor. More than likely it'll be a 20-21" monitor to save desk space.

    Should I trade in my two 4830's for a 5770?

    I already have bad company 2 preordered. Anyone think dx11 is worth the trade in. I'll be losing some frames but I can always add another 5770 later. Or maybe I can get a two 5750 right now and add a third later. My mobo can take 4.
