Okay, I've gone thru three of the same mobo's. The ASUS Maximus Formula is the mobo. On all three, they go out at the same spot. The pci slot. I run in crossfire two ATI 3870x2's. It is always the same slot that goes out (bottom). I've changed the order of the cards. I've even switched the cards...

Well not really overclocking, but I got a curious question about LCD monitor. Well as many of you knows about the fixed/locked 60hz refresh rate on Nvidia graphics card. I have fixed that problem since my LCD monitor supports up to 75hz. The cards (7800GTX) only allowed/showed 60hz as an option...

Are people having problems fitting the Scythe Ninja Rev. B with the new assembly clip onto Asus P5B Deluxe mobos? Apparently, the Ninja fits using the old method with the backplate but not with the new LGA775 clip. Is that true? I have just ordered the Ninja but might have to cancel…

I am planning on getting a computer with an E6600. I know I could buy a cooler and OC it, but I don't know if it would make too much of a difference if all i'm doing is video editing. I would also have to choose a different motherboard. Isn't it already fast enough for me without the hassle?

I've been researching my first build for about a year now. That is to say, I've been orienting myself with specs and learning all I can about it. I've finally had the cash fall into my lap, so putting this together has been over the course of about a week and a half. The thing is, this needs to...
