Thank you for the great responses. I'll look into the 750 ti and r7 260x. Here is my PSU, seems to be going pretty strong after 5 years: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256061
Another thing... my motherboard is still using the old PCI-E 2.0, is this a bottleneck for the...
WTU - Want To Upgrade. Currently have a Radeon HD 5770. This thing is 7 years old.
Any suggestions?
-Must be faster than the 5770
-Must be power efficient
-Runs cooler
Games I mostly play (not demanding at all):
-Diablo 3
-Minecraft
Haven't done much research but a quick google...
Hello, I can't seem to find an information where I can find a monitor size that would perfectly align with two 21" in portrait (vertical) mode while the middle monitor would stay landscape (horizontal).
So what size should I be looking at for the middle monitor that would compliment the...
Hello,
I was given a computer by a friend and it's an Emachine T5212 with overheating issue. It's equipped with a low end Pentium D 2.66ghz processor. I have cleaned out the dusts, removed the dried up thermal pad that was on it and applied arctic silver ceramique. Temperature in the bios says...
its in my sig, ati 5770... now that you mentioned the video card i found this: http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=260&threadid=122679&STARTPAGE=2&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear
looks like the video card is the culprit
edit: holy smokes sleep issue fixed! heres the fix for anyone with...
i have sleep disabled until i can find the fix.
it wakes up only when my monitor is off... but it wont wake up after a long period of time which is the sleep mode.
I really can't seem to figure it out... I will need the [H] forum's guidance on this. My computer refuses to wake from sleep mode. After I manually power off the computer and went back into Windows I get a pop up saying "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown"

sexy but pricey!
The cooler master geminII seems like a good solution but how does it perform if you flip the fan in the opposite direction? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103046&cm_re=core_i5_heatsink-_-35-103-046-_-Product
you're right... like you said price is the only thing that should hold you back. :) i'm pretty happy with my setup if that's convincing to the original poster.
Recently bought an i5-760 setup... it's plenty fast enough for photography, gaming and everything else. Really don't see the need to spend the extra for a sandy bridge processor. Using the stock cooler I'm overclocked at 3.2ghz and undervolted at 1.0v. It's only sipping 43-45watts while stress...
Looking to replace the stock cooler and do some overclocking. I use a core i5-760 on an asus gene III socket 1156 motherboard. I would like to either have a side mounted heatsink or a top reverse mounted fan that exhausts the hot air through the psu. I do not wish to make any cutting or...
my current setup is an hp c2d 1.83ghz laptop with shitty intel graphics that doesnt even support openGL 2.0. I see theres an i5-760 going on sale for $174.99... should jump on it? Should I wait until the sandy bridge series come out and the i5 prices will drop even more?
help me decide... thanks
sorry if this have been asked before... im in the process of building an all around computer that is reasonably priced. the only thing im stuck on is a m-atx board. whats a good overclocking m-atx board that will push an i5-750 to 4ghz easily? in the future i may want to add a tv tuner card...
The other day it was pretty hot in the house and thats when my Dell Vostro 1400 laptop died. The laptop ran pretty hot as I was post processing some photos in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CS4. I remember seeing a white screen for a few sec and then it shut off. I tried turning it back on the...

no but i wish i still have the 2007wfp... im such an idiot for selling it. however i didn't like the screen door effect and the slight blurriness in gaming. my eyes were at least 2 ft away from that monitor.
but hey... any decent TN panel monitor is better than my 14" dell vostro laptop...
my previous lcd monitor was the dell 2007wfp with an S-IPS panel. i really liked the colors, the viewing angles but it was okay in games... if i look really close i could see a tiny bit of ghosting/blurring comparing to CRT.
i really dont want to spend alot on lcd so i want to limit my budget...
i was wondering if any one of you use a media center remote with mouse/trackpad function?
i found this remote with trackball on amazon and i wonder if it's dependable?
got a recommendation?
i want all the bells and whistles. watch two tv shows at the same time, clear sd/hd programming, record my favorite tv shows. can't think of any others but more features would be nice to have. i plan to hook it up to a 40" 1080p lcd tv
what about this one...
