I have learned much here at the forums. Thank you Tharic-Nar, you have gone above and beyond in helping me. This helps me a lot in making a decision. I'll do some more investigating and research.

Thank you for the feedback. Does the SupremeFX sound card support the Dolby Surround feature? Perhaps you know? Thanks. Did a little reading and not sure that this answers my question. ROG-exclusive technology implements multi-approach shielding, with ELNA audio capacitors helping offer...

Hello Everyone, I have been building computers for quite a while but I have never purchased a high quality sound card for them. I have always used the onboard sound and currently I am using the SupremeFX that came with my Maximus VI Hero MB. I am considering purchasing the Sennheiser PC...

Is there a particular SKU # to look for when purchasing the 4770K like there was with the Q6600?

Never mind... must have been a weekend deal only.

I think I'm going to go with the 256 GB Samsung 840 Pro and I already ordered a WD Black 1 TB drive for storage.

Would you consider $289.99 a great price for the 4770k? Just noticed that Amazon has lowered the price. I have no clue what a good price is. Micro Center has it for $249 in store pickup only.

I searched ebay for individual items that sold recently and came up with ~$400. I'll try over clock.net to see what I can find. Appreciate the responses.

Hello Everyone, Feel free to delete this thread if it doesn't belong here. I have someone that is interested in one of my gaming machines and I have no idea what it's worth and was hoping you could educate me. Here goes. MB: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard...

Thank you again... Optix!

Thinking about getting a new i7-4770k processor and naturally doing some overclocking. I was thinking... what is the consensus about overclocking a new processor right away? Is it best to let it run at stock for a week or so before overclocking or is that not an issue with newer processors? I...

Thanks for the info Optix. You've given me some things to think about. What is a good size for the SSD if I plan on only having the OS on it, with out overkill? I agree with you on the memory. I like Corsair, but it is pricey. Do you remember what brand the $135 is?

Hello Everyone, It's been a while since I have posted. I have always found this a useful site to obtain information... thanks in advance! Here's what I need help with... I currently have 4 GB of Corsair TWIN2X2048-8500C5 Kit DDR2-1066 XMS2-8500 Memory in my board. I have read that this board...

Just finished installing 11.1a Hotfix after running some benchmarks with Unigine Heaven (thanks to a recommendation by Kougar), 3DMark11, 3DMark06, X2-Rolling Demo, and FurMark. Will run benchmarks tomorrow with 11.1a drivers and post results. Funny, TriXXX and ATI Overdrive still report...

I am interested in the performance increase (if any) for my 6950. If I get time this weekend, I'll try to do some benchmarks and then post results between 11.1 and 11.1a. For Radeon HD 6900 and AMD Radeon HD 6800 cards: 3DMark Vantage improves ~7% 3DMark06 improves ~3% Call of Duty Black Ops...

What is the difference between the two drivers? If I have the Catalyst 11.1 installed and want the 11.1a hotfix, do I uninstall the 11.1 and then reinstall the 11.1a hotfix, or can I install the 11.1a over the top of 11.1 (I bet I know the answer)? This is a bit confusing. Thanks.

I'm new to crossfire and I am wondering if I connected this whole set up correctly? I have the two cards installed with one crossfire bridge connecting them. I have plugged my DVI monitor cable into the top connector on the card in the top PCI-e slot 1. I was wondering if somehow the bottom...

Can someone recommend some benchmarking software for video cards and gaming performance? I thought that I would start by using 3DMark 11 (or later versions) and Fraps to check for framerates? Am I on the right track? Thanks.

This is good news since my Q6600 is overclocked to 3.0GHz. I can rest a little easier now. I suppose I can always try to up it to 3.2 GHz if needed. I have a pretty good air cooler. Thanks for the responses.

Just finished reading some more reviews on 6950's in CF. Some one asked a question about using these cards with older Core 2 Quads. I have a Q6600, do you think it would be a waste of money to try CF with this processor? Some one said that they didn't think that a person should use anything...
