Hey all! :bounce: Thanks in advance on any and all help. I've purchased everything but a motherboard. I thought I was sold by all the praise on the Asrock Extreme3 Gen3 until I noticed it didn't support USB3.0 on the front panel. I've done a bit of research on the Asrock Extreme4 Gen3, ASUS...

Hello everyone. Planning on buying some parts and thought I'd ask your opinion on a motherboard. I will be using the Corsair 400r case (has front face usb 3.0), i5-2500k (plan on ocing), 1 Sata HDD, 1 SSD ( Crucial M4 128GB for $160 right now) and will never go over 2 GPU's. I was looking into...

Thank you, but I know about that. I was just wondering why these programs can not detect that information.

Hi all. Thank you in advance for your help! So for a long time now I've had multiple programs tell me they can't detect my mobo type/drivers or bios. I finally thought I'd ask after updating drivers again and deciding to finally OC my Q6600. Here are some screenshots...

I installed the heatsink/fan (I don't know why I forgot I was going to have to take the mobo out, pain) and the gfx card. When I first turned it on WOW quieter :o I thought it wasn't on. But my side door 120mm fan had to be removed because of the heatsink. I'm going to have to find a very slim...

Haha ya beat me to it! I just went through 90 some odd pages of that thread on powertechup and found the bios mod that people are using on ALL 6950 cards. That's all I wanted! And someone successfully did it on the MSI board so I can go get it for $264 after rebates. Nice!

Thanks for all your help up to this point Screwy Well I was going to try and flash a 6950 ref card but some people over at techpowerup are starting to have trouble flashing newer cards, even the ref ones. One of them got an email from newegg saying future xfx boards will malfunction with any...

One thing that I overlooked and is of note: I'm crossfiring 2 512mb cards and playing at 1920x1080 So I think I am going to, at some point, get a 6950 2gb card which will last me a long time. I'm not planning on getting anything bigger than a 23inch any time soon and I won't go dual monitor for...

I don't want to spend over $300 right now =/ And some benchmarks show my crossfire is as good as a single 6850 so I guess you're right. I'd have to get two of them. http://www.insidehw.com/Reviews/Graphics-cards/CrossFire-in-Practice-Radeon-HD-4850-CF-vs-6850/Page-4.html

I do like your cooler recommendation. It isn't horribly louder and cools well for a much cheaper price! For the graphics card I'm unsure. When I was doing my own research before posting I came across things like...

Hi guys! Long time no post. Was wondering if you could give an opinion on my gameplan and tell me if I should alter/add to it. I'd also like your opinion on a HSF and ram. Currently I'm working with: Antec 900 Q6600 2.4ghz w/stock HSF OCZ 4gb (4 x 1gb) DDR2 800 2v Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P 2x 4850...

Awesome, thought so. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something in regards to 4870's and 4890's
