Chirping from video card?

Interesting, I will have to see if I can isolate the sounds. I purchased a cheap Logitech M100 mouse as a replacement to my broken MX Revolution. I will head out later tonight to get another mouse probably. I have a Corsair hx850. I will have to see if anyone else with these products has had...

Chirping from video card?

I noticed this a couple days ago and have been searching for people with similar issues. When I hover over links, mouse scroll, or while gaming (Dota and WoW), I can hear a chirping noise which sounds like it is coming from my xfx 5770. It's not very loud, but definitely noticeable. When...

XFX 5770 hot as the sun

I did not install drivers. Once I realized how hot it was getting I stopped doing anything. Can not initially disabling onboard video heat up a card like that? Thanks Zap and Mg I will try testing what you've suggested. Once I noticed how hot it was getting I was too worried to do...

XFX 5770 hot as the sun

gaming card on a budget

At 169.00 for the XFX HD5770, would it be pratical to 2-way Crossfire these? Or would you wait for the price to drop a bit more? Also, if the price was to drop, would it be worthwhile to 3-way Crossfire these on my x58a-ud5?

Question concerning DDR3 when not overclocking

Thanks for the quick response Blain. I'be been basing most of my evaluations on one of your earlier posts. Low volt + low latency + high clock speeds is quality memory. I did actually check out this memory earlier today and now I can't see why I didn't include it in my original post. 6gb...

Question concerning DDR3 when not overclocking

Hello everyone, I'm not an extreme user by any means, but I do appreciate a decent amount of power without overclocking. I game a bit (DotA, SC2 and occasionally a MMORPG or FPS) and I do some web/graphic design and development (Adobe Creative Suite). I have purchased: Mobo: Gigabyte...

Gigabyte motherboard ga-ex58-ud5

I have checked out the specs for both the GA-X58A-UD5(rev 1.0) and the GA-EX58A-UD5 on GB's site and they are very similar. Could any of you explain the subtle differences? I just purchased the GA-X58A-UD5 and am pairing it with the $200 I7-930 and am excited to finish my project up. Thanks...
