Bump bump. Surely someone has knowledge on this issue.

When I come back from afk and my pc is asleep, or even when my pc is off and I boot it up, my primary display often freezes at the login screen. The top 1/2 inch or so of the display doesnt freeze, and the secondary monitor doesn't either. It will just show the login screen and wont refresh...

To be fair, two of either of those cards will run BF4 pretty well. Also neither of them are energy hogs so a nice reliable 600w psu would do the trick with two of them. The difference between the gtx760 and the gtx660 ti is very small, in most cases they perform almost identically. If you...

It really depends on your budget, but any aftermarket heatsink will be much better than stock. If you have the space you really can't go wrong with the noctua nh-d14. On a budget the hyper 212 evo is the default answer, even though many other options in that price range are also admirable...

I keep my tower in a cool room conveniently located about 18 inches from the a/c so it gets a nice feed of good cool air. I can only really add one more 120mm fan without displacing fans already in the system. I can however swap one 230mm on the side for 4 120mm fans, which seems a good trade...

I have just built a new pc in rosewills thor case. Even with a Noctua nh-d14 cooler I am only able to get my overclock to about 4.2 before my temps start running up. I am pretty stable at 4.3-4.4 but I don't want to run it in the 80 degree range under stress. I was considering replacing some...

This really wouldn't even be a debate at all if it wasn't so cheap to make the swap right now. The Biostar board I was going to buy for her is only about 60 dollars less than the Asus Maximus I was looking at buying if I used it for myself. It really seems like there is no clear answer but I...

I don't plan on swapping the motherboard with my 3770k in any scenario. I'm not willing to risk it screwing my windows install and then trying to convince microsoft support to let me reinstall my OEM copy again. I actually have another windows 7 license so the only way I'll end up paying for...

I doubt the 1150 socket will see enough of an advancement to warrant dropping another processor over the 4770k in this build before intel swaps sockets again. Unless broadwell makes a bigger performance jump than I have seen from intel in a while. I'm really just wondering how big the...

Basically I am about to build a pc for my wife and upgrade my own pc, so I will already be purchasing a 4770k and a new motherboard. The question is whether or not I purchase a high end board and use it in my own rig which I will be overclocking, or whether I stick with my 3770k and put the new...

Is there official confirmation anywhere on the g-sync kit being released for the Asus monitor? I might go with a pair of those and then upgrade them when the kit is released.

So nobody has tried out the overlord monitors or any of the other high end IPS monitors?

I have been browsing for 3 days looking for detailed comparisons on these three monitors, but all I seem to come across are owners of each of the three types claiming superiority. Right now I have an older Dell SP2309W monitor, two of them to be precise which have given me great service over...

I think a lot of people underestimate the 660ti, it still holds up very well even with current games. However after some research I've decided to recycle my 660ti along with my old case and power supply into a pc for my wife. With swapping to multi monitors I want to go ahead and get something...

I should point out that this upgrade will also involve transferring my build into a new case and adding aftermarket cooling as well as a 1000w plus power supply for the sake of future upgrades. I will build my wife a budget pc in my old case, with my old power supply, so my 660ti will find a...
