Hey, thank you both for the responses. Very helpful on all accounts.
So I went and watched and agree it seems the best bet is simply to disable FreeSync on the monitor. Should I have a game that manages to go over 144 fps, is it worth specifying a frame rate limit in the control panel?
I just switched to a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti from an AMD Fury R9 but I kept my 27" 1440p FreeSync monitor. I've read where this setup will work great but I'm foggy on how I should configure it for default gaming. Should I disable the FreeSync feature on the monitor? Should I keep Vsync disabled...
Try as I might, I can't find way to boot from my thumb drive. I'm thinking this is simply not an option for this motherboard, which is just stupid. I specifically chose to finally leave off a floppy drive thinking I could rely on that feature.
Is it possible to do this and I'm just not...
Thanks to everyone that's responded with feedback to some of my other posts regarding my new system build. Now I'm down to the RAM and I'm trying to understand why a 1:1 ratio is so desired for a setup.
Currently, I've found my setup to fit quite nicely at no more than 3,720 Mhz @ an 8x...
That's been one of my problems. How do I see what the motherboard has the memory voltage set at currently in order to know how much to increase it? My memory is rated for 2.2V and the PC Health has always shown DDR18V as "Fail." This motherboard won't give me a current voltage for the memory.
Well, I have to say that I really, really like this rig so far. I think I shot for the sky thinking 4 Ghz was possible on air cooling, but I am still trying to see what more I can get out of this thing. So far, 3.6 Ghz looks solid, and I didn't have to adjust any voltage. I'm confused about...
So, did you guys raise the voltage to what was required manually? I've left mine as is and it's been fine. I can't really tell where it's putting the memory voltage at currently.
Well, I've finally got my new system up and running. I haven't tried any overclocking yet but everything seems to be running great. The only thing is in the BIOS on the PC Health Status screen, I get a red "Failed" on the DDR18V. No problems at all as far as I can tell, so I don't know what's...
Yes, I'm well aware of the risks. I'm a support engineer by trade, so I deal with issues like that all the time.
Performance wise, I just want to see what I can do to minimize stutter and lag in games. I think it has a lot to do with the minute timings on accessing data.
I'm almost ready to build my system and once done, I'm trying to setup the most efficient and effective setup I've ever built. Basically, I have a 150 GB WD Raptor drive, and a new Seagate 7200.10 drive. I've been researching this quite a bit and would still like some new perspectives. Here's...
So here's what I have so far:
ORDERED
E6850
Seagate 7200.10 320 GB
Apevia X-Pleasure-BK
Dell 2407WFP
Foxcon 8800GTX board @ 630/2000
Antec Treo 650W
STILL DECIDING
Abit or Gigabyte P35
DECIDED BUT NOT ORDERED
2 GB Crucial Ballistix PC8500 DDR2
LP DVDRW SATA
Samsung...

I admit, it is really tempting to go with a Q6600 simply for bragging rights. Who doesn't want to be able to say they've got a quad core system? Who doesn't want to post a pic of Sandra showing how it utterly destroys every other CPU in it's database? But for practical reasons, I'm going...
Exactly. Not a big margin. Real world performance is not SuperPI and Sandra dependent.
Yes, but I already mentioned encoding is not what I need the most. Besides, it's a matter of time and I don't mind waiting. Also, I mentioned nothing I use needs 4 cores. Wasted power and heat. I...
Not really. One extra multiplier gives me more to work with rather than having to depend solely on bus speed. Eh, we'll see. It was budgeted already, so I can afford it.
