    Windows 10 Dual Monitor Sleep error

    What is this fix that Windows released? I know this problem occurs for me. Same issue, second monitor does not wake up after my displays shut off while idling. Nvidia driver 359.00, WinX x64, GTX660 SC x2 in SLI

    Xfx Ati HD 7950 vs Evga GTX 660 Superclocked

    I purchased the GTX 660 SC from EVGA and I couldn't be happier. I have never had a 7950, so I have nothing to compare to. As far as frame rates on a single card in BF3 multiplayer I was getting ~75 FPS with all settings maxed out, in SLI with the same cards I get ~130-140 with all settings...

    ASUS M5A97 R2.0-FX8350 won't overclock

    OK so I upgraded to a Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 yesterday and running Prime 95 I still have two cores dropping off. I haven't pushed the voltage yet but I am only running @ 4.3 GHz...should more voltage really be necessary running 100 MHz over stock Turbo speed?

    ASUS M5A97 R2.0-FX8350 won't overclock

    Actually I have tried several OC utilities including OC Tuner (from the ASUS BIOS), AI Suite II, and AOD. All three of those apps will auto tune it around 4.3 and some change, but when I go to run OCCT or Prime 95, it is damn near an instant fail. BIOS is current and I went on the ASUS website...

    ASUS M5A97 R2.0-FX8350 won't overclock

    Oh my God...I found someone on the internet who can not read! If it were a "trash" board as you say it would seem that it served my Phenom (125 TDP, just like the Piledriver) quite well in that capacity...so let me understand. It can run a less efficient Phenom at a stable O/C, but not a...

    ASUS M5A97 R2.0-FX8350 won't overclock

    My reading lead me to believe that the R2.0 versions were not patched for the FX chips, but were built for them. My first thought was actually the mobo needs to go, if I want to run the 8350. I've been considering getting a SLI board, so that the next time I get the itch to drop some money...

    ASUS M5A97 R2.0-FX8350 won't overclock

    Hi, first and foremost I want to thank you guys for all your contributions to this community. I am a longtime stalker of these forums, but it wasn't until recently that I decided to build my own rig, and essentially I did just about everything wrong that I could think of as far as shopping...

    Question regarding the AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE

    I just recently purchased the 965 BE (125w), along with an ASUS M5A97 R2.0, and as far as performance on a budget the 965 is tough to beat and it will transition nicely when you are ready to run DDR3 memory. With DDR4 being around the corner, I can't say I would buy a DDR3 board, especially if...
