Hello, I'm planning on adding water cooling to my system. For now I only want to water cool my GPU, but I want expandability to add a CPU block and maybe a second GPU block. My current system is: Intel Core i5 2500K ASUS AMD 5870 1GB NZXT Phantom 410 case Corsair 750tx PSU ASUS P8Z68 PRO 8GB...

Actually that did the trick, resetting the Xbox video settings by holding down Y and RT while it's starting up. My guess is the Xbox was still trying to force through a 1080p signal, which the monitor cannot accept. I cannot send it through the amp properly still, it works but the max resolution...

I have a Samsung 24" LCD monitor, SyncMaster 2443BW. It runs at 1920x1200 and has a DVI and VGA input. I've had this monitor for years and haven't had any problems with it until now. I use a HDMI to DVI cable to plug it into my desktop normally (gfx card AMD HD5870) as I have no DVI to DVI cable...

Hello, I currently have a 870 (1GB I think) and I am thinking of upgrading to the 7970. While it has a lot more memory I have read that the 5870 still performs well up against it? The thing is I have a rare opportunity to upgrade easily, as my friend wants a video card and I was thinking of...

I just played it on my laptop, with the same amount of system RAM and half as much VRAM, and at full settings saw no lag

Hello, I got Fallout New Vegas, and I was sure that I would be able to play it on full settings since I can play Fallout 3, and better looking games such as Oblivion on full settings. Specs: Windows 7 Professional Edition x64 AMD Phenom II 940 (3.0GHz X4) ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB OCZ FATAL1TY...

The only out of the ordinary option I can see on the 1310 is "Access Point Mode" would that help me at all?

Hello, I recently set up an old desktop (Windows XP) so I could have basic internet browsing in one spot, but I can't get internet to it. It used to have a wireless card in it, but I gave that away to somebody. I can't run an ethernet cable to it, because I don't have any free spots left on my...
