    <$150 OC Z97 motherboard for 4790k

    Thanks for the suggestion. I started looking at the Gigabyte boards and saw a nice combo deal that will get me the 4790K and the Gigabyte Gaming 7 within my budget, so I think I will go with that. Regarding de-lidding, I thought that the 4790k was not supposed to have that weakness like the...

    <$150 OC Z97 motherboard for 4790k

    I can get a 4790K from Microcenter for about $70 less than the 6700K (assuming it could be found in stock). In addition there appear to incremental costs associated with DDR4 and probably the newer chipset motherboards as well. I don't see it being worth it to move up to Skylake for me. So...

    <$150 OC Z97 motherboard for 4790k

    I am in the process of finally upgrading from my Q6600 (OC'd to 3.2 GHz since 2007 or so). I have everything pretty much set except for motherboard choice. There are several options in my price range but the newegg reviews for them are very disturbing in terms of percentage of reviews with DOA...

    Looking for profile for a Dell 2408 Rev A01

    I just got my first LCD monitor today and could use some pointers on setting it up. I referred to the stickied thread, but while using the calibration image on http://www.galacticmag.com/mon...ness-and-contrast.html I can't get all the different rectangles to show up. Could someone point...

    Looking for new Panasonic Viera plasma HDTV reviews

    The new line of Viera plasmas released by Panasonic seem very nice and I am considering purchasing the 46" TH-46PZ85U model. I am having difficulty in tracking down any reviews though. I'm not going to buy a newly released model until I have seen any. Can anyone direct me to a review (or...

    Panasonic 42" 1080p Plasmas

    Regarding the PC input... I had only vague plans of hooking my PC up to the plasma for occasional gaming. Can DVI be converted to HDMI or anything like that? Thanks.

    Panasonic 42" 1080p Plasmas

    I am going to be making an HDTV purchase this year. I have narrowed down my purchase to the following two Panasonic 1080p plasmas: TH42PZ77U and TH42PZ700U. Does anyone have any word on the real difference between the two? I've read plenty of reviews drooling over the greatness of the 700U...

    What's holding back my voltage?

    Got it. I had not realized there was a drop of voltage from the specified value when the system was idling.

    What's holding back my voltage?

    If my voltage is set to 1.2875 or higher and being reported as less than that at idle, how is that not a problem? Also, if the RAM is set to auto everything, and running at a lower speed than it's stock speed, that is unlikely to be the problem right? I did test it thoroughly with memtest86+...

    What's holding back my voltage?

    I set up a system last week and have had it running 24 hour+ Prime95 stable at 334x9 at stock voltage (1.2875v). I tried to boost that up to 355x9 this morning at stock voltage and got a prime95 error almost immediately. Then I raised the voltage in the BIOS to 1.2975v and also got a Prime95...

    Buffalo WHR-G54S vs. WHR-HP-G54

    Thanks for the input. I ordered the WHR-HP-G54 so I'll probably be back next week with some questions when I invariably screw something up.

    Buffalo WHR-G54S vs. WHR-HP-G54

    I am in the market for a router after having tempted fate for a couple of years without one. I hear that Buffalo makes pretty good routers. I was looking at these two models on newegg and was wondering what the difference is between the two? Also, while I'm at it, are either of these...

    To P182 or not to P182 -- that is the question!

    While we're on the subject of the P182, does anyone have any experience with this case, the Abit IP-35 Pro motherboard and the Tuniq Tower 120? I just ordered them yesterday and am having some worries about everything fitting. Please ease my mind if you can. Thanks.
