The price really doesn't worry me, at all. Remember when 1080p TVs used to cost just as much? It really wasn't that long ago, like 4-5 years... Now you can buy one for under 500$ and I think the same will happen with 4k monitors - people are tired of 1080p and want 4k, but not at prices like...

I think they made it very visually appealing, but... If they targeted the 3-monitor crowd, why not give us VESA mount options? Those flimsy stands on some (or honestly most) modern monitors make me a very sad panda.... One would think that something like a VESA mount option would not be so hard...

Here are my two cents: video games are just that - GAMES. They are not real. They may represent a version of reality, or, a world/idea that has nothing in common with reality. People who's thought process is changed in a dangerous way by video games is someone who CANNOT make the difference...

I've tried with an optical cable, but the issue still persists... I'm thinking that buying a sound card might be the only option and I don't like that because I don't have the money... :D I really need help with this, so any input is appreciated - does your onboard sound do what I'm describing...

OK, the rig is done, just the D14 left to buy, but there is a problem with the onboard audio. When I play compressed audio, like MP3s, the sound level of different instruments fluctuates. This does not happen with uncompressed audio. I'll try to describe it more accurately: for example, when a...

I'm building a rig with this board (already have it) and I'm also curious about the x8/x8... :confused: It does have a NF200 chip, but isn't it supposed to work with both AMD/NV card? Not that I'm gonna do Crossfire any time soon, just curious. Also, if anyone is interested I'll post...

I've installed them a long time ago, Win started asking for drivers for this device after I installed the 5970 in the PC. it has never asked for them before. BTW, does anyone know what this SMBus controller is?

I can't run MemTest since I can't burn it to a CD... :laugh: And HDD Regenerator says everything is OK. I quite sure by now that it's the motherboard. Also Windows Driver Utility (or whatever it's called, the one that asks you for drivers when it detects new hardware) keeps aking me for drivers...

So here's the problem, quick version: While I was playing the SCII Beta my PC started freezing for short intervals with the sound repeating, like just before getting a BSOD, but it unfreezes. After I restarted it started loading XP (32 bit) and never got to it. It was sitting in the loading...

It already is at balanced. I have tried running with everything on default, and I mean everything - CPU, RAM, GPU... Nothing helps.

Well, these square backgrounds appear behind grass and flicker constantly with it. It's like the game is trying to display a render of a picture but the background keeps showing. It's really annoying...

I bought a 5970 a couple of days ago and I have noticed the following issue - when I launch a fullscreen program, like a game, the mouse does a high-speed flickering, and in Crysis the bushes and grass do that too, except when I'm close to them. I've read that this is a Crossfire problem, but...

I LOL hard @ the Samsung guy... "THE greatest entertainer of all time". The greatest entertainer of my time is Ozzy. MJ has nothing on him - he was pwning bats before MJ was pwning (or pounding?! :nutkick:) little boys. I love Samsung, but their campaign and product should be called "This is the...

Yeah, I know 1U=1in=2.54cm, and I looked at 4U cases because I wand to mod it and watercool the whole machine, but that isn't exactly easy or even possible in a 2U case, is it? :laugh: Also, thanks for reminding me of the 747, I completely forgot about this one and it's pretty damn good. At the...

So are XL-ATX (like the MM Ascension) cases gonna support this mobo or are we gonna have to buy 3U/4U server cases? I'm concerned, because server cases (rackmount and towers) usually come with high-wattage power supplies and are quite costly... For example: if the board cost $500, a Supermicro...
