Alright well unfortunately I haven't gotten a response to the above but hoping I will to this. I think I am settled on getting the Denon AVR-X3700H . So for the Atmos height channels I am thinking I am going to mount the 4 R-41SA speakers on the ceiling. I know this is none standard and having...

So I have been planning on installing a surround sound system for my family/movie room. Finally there were some pretty great deals on speakers for Black Friday so I bought the following 5.1.4 speaker setup: All Klipsch models: R-820F x2 for front left/right channels RP-400C center channel R-51M...

Sorry, I realized I posted this in the wrong subforum and have moved it to the appropriate location, please refer to it here.

I am looking at getting the Klipsch Reference Theater Pack 5.1 speakers for my computer but I can't seem to find clear information anywhere on how to connect them to a PC. I have a Sound Blastor Z soundcard in my computer. My question is do I need a separate receiver to connect these speakers...

I just got a badge for this thread getting over 10,000 views so I thought I would come back and let anyone who is considering lapping know that it can be done successfully. The core i7 920 pictured above was lapped and overclocked from stock 2.6GHz to 4GHz on air cooling four years ago and it is...

That is kinda what I was thinking but just wanted to get a second opinion, thanks!

Ok I monitored my CPU and GPU usage while playing assassins creed. On default graphic settings it is as follows: format: Core# [thread1%] [thread2%] core0: 97% 6% core1: 30% 7% core2: 29% 7% core3: 23% 0.02% GPU average utilization: 54% If I change the graphics settings to max...

mod please delete, somehow I posted this in the wrong thread :??:

Currently my computer has an intel core i7 920 overclocked stable for many years now running at 4GHz (stock speed is 2.66GHz). My video card is a Radeon 7870 with 2GB of memory. I recently bought and have been playing Assassins Creed 4 and am loving it but I was somewhat disappointment when my...

Heatsink is the Zalman CNPS9900A LED 120mm. Thanks again.

Alright so tomorrow I will be building my new core i7 machine. I am using AC MX-2 thermal compound and a Zalman 120mm heatsink. What I was wondering is 2 things. Firstly do you guys prefer the blob or line methods of application and does the i7 tend to perform better with one? Second I have been...

Yes I used a sheet of glass as my flat surface and I rotated the chip consistently so any favor to one side I might apply would get balanced when it was rotated the other way. My razor blade test shows it is ultra flat and it actually suctions to the glass face a little. I am pleased it looks...

The warranty thing isn't an issue for me. I have done lots of other mod related things to hardware that void warranties and I haven't had a problem. As long as you go slow and make sure you evenly lap (by rotating) there is no reason you should have any problems. Anyway I already started lapping...
