Hi, I just got a new video card (1660 ti), and decided to play with overclocking a bit. Most of the overclocking guides say to overclock the GPU in small 5-10 MHz increments. But after playing with it a bit, I noticed that the clock always changes in 15 MHz increments. After a bit of testing it...

Seems Dell is still making these in late 2018. Staples had them on sale for $119.99 with a black friday sale. They also give me a coupon for $10 off of a $50 purchase. So i ordered one on 11-19-2018 to replace my 2209wa on my main computer. Told my brother and he got one a day or two later...

Still using mine. But I want to get a new monitor and move this to my second computer (which still has a very old CRT).

Personally I am using this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/QUAD-GAMING-the-mouse-rock-mouse-bungee-microsoft-logitech-razer/322314458950 I like it. Seem to work nice.

I know that the U2415 is the later release. But dell.com no longer sells the U2415 but they DO sell the U2412M. But I can get both from other sellers... I'm not really sure of the differences... I do know that the U2415 has a thinner bezel, but I'm really more interested in the screen...

Stick with the motherboard's onboard sound. For $50 you are not likely to get anything that is any better. If you do want something better, I would recomment getting the Schiit Modi 2 which is priced at $99.

Personally I recommend seperate AMP and DAC. For an AMP go with Parasound Zamp V.3 (a good class AB amp). If you really want a small class D amp, go for a good one like the Matrix Mini-i AMP. (The Mini-i AMP is smaller than the Zamp, and more power, but it also costs more!) This give a good...

For amps: Parasound Zamp v.3 (class A/B and about half the size of the small Emotiva) Matrix Audio Mini-i Amp (class D and about half the size of Nuforce STA-120 or Zamp) For DAC: There are so many to choose from..., but I would prefer the Emotiva DC-1 or the Matrix Audio Mini-i over the...

Sunon has the best quiet 40mm fans. Their lastest fan (HA40201V4) is easily the best quiet 40x20mm fan out there. Just search for HA40201V4 I think it is around $12-13 with 3 pin power connector. Even cheaper but usually just with bare wires (if you want to add your own connector).

My first choice for 120mm would be Sanyo Denki quiet series. I prefer the low speed one (1500 RPM) for best balance between performance and noise, but the higher speed medium (1850 RPM) is decent also. My second choice would be the Scythe Gentle Typhoon. 13 (1150 RPM) and 14 (1450 RPM) both...

I would recommend the SVS SB-1000 which is $500 including shipping.

Thanks, I had hopes that someone would point other options than the KEF LS50. While personally I am quite happy with my Snell CR7, as they are discontinued they cannot be recommended... I mostly mention the KEF LS50 because they are the best speaker that I own that is still currently...

The Scythe Kotetsu is a great choice for good quiet cooling. A good low cost option would maybe be DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400: http://www.amazon.com/DEEPCOOL-GAMMAXX-Cooler-Heatsink-120mm/dp/B00JQ2YDCY/ But while it is cheaper, it is NOT as good as the Scythe Kotetsu.

The performance of high end video cards has improved several times over the last few years. By comparison the performance increase of midrange video cards has has bean quite small, and the performance increase of low end smaller still. The main reason for this is the fact that AMD has NOT...

You are using a negative offset voltage which I would not use. A negative offset voltage will lower voltages at ALL power levels and could cause problems. Instead try a minimal positive offset voltage and then use a higher CPU Load-Line Calibration level. This will use close to default...
