Not yet, I'm too tired to try and build it out and in again. Im taking it back to Asus tomorrow and hope they can figure it out.

Hey guys, i know this is a long shot but is there anyone out there that downloaded FC2 via Steam?

I'm having issues that the game isn't launching full screen but rather windowed. Any advise how to fix this?

Bottom line means i remain screwed. WHy aren't there disclaimers about possible imcompatibilities among certain components?

Thx mate i will. If i should have to go fight with the people from Coolermaster, where would i start?

Well i'm revisiting him tomorrow so i hope he has some way of testing the psu to determine if the problem stems from there.

Since i've upgraded it's just been headache upon headache.

For the psu or headphones?

The earphones work great. I tested them on my old C2D machine so i think it's safe to say they are ok.

How could it be possible that the case is causing the issue?

Hey guys, thanx for all the help and to you Synthesis :) . By the time i wrote my post my head felt like the aftermath of a long night before. I took my machine into Asus and they sparred with it all day. They replaced the board and the same problem persists. Any other tips i could try before lookin...

I just tried it and the noise remains even with the monitor off.

Even when I mute all sound on the control panel you can still hear the droning, buzzing noise. I'm looking for the nearest bridge so i can jump off it!

I had Zalman 5.1's but got me the new Roccat Kave's ( I wanted to upgrade).

Can you run me exactly through what you did so i can try and eliminate various possibilities? Remember i'm not the most technical guy working with pc's. I know a little bit about a little bit

Yeah, i think there's interference coming from somewhere in the case. Freaking frustrating especially the fact i biught new ear phones just to hear the noise more clearly! On some of the forums it is said that buying a decent sound card eliminates this. But sheesh then it's another plus/minus R1000 ...

Hey guys, i got an issue. I currently have a Asus P8P67 Deluxe Rev.3 mobo and i'm using the onboard audio on the board to run my Zalman 5.1 headphones. For the last while i've noticed this irratating buzzing noise that is extremely irratating during gaming in games such as the new Duke Nukem. But st...

Ok thx. The first 2 images is what happens with the 6970 and the last one is my 5850 working like it should. CCC sees the tv but once you select to either duplicate or extend the screens it splashes out a msg " This operation is not supported on current display configuration." It's as if a...

Hey guys I have a new Radeon 6970 and I'm trying to run it via my pc through my Samsung 40" LED Tv. I cannot get it to work. I took some screen shots of the problem. Im quite familiar with CCC and my 5850 runs perfectly on the Tv. I've tried to install the drivers from disk and latest from the ...

I appreciate your point and i'll take note of it in future. Thank you.

I dont crank the AA and AF up i usually keep them as standard. Ke? :? You first say that you want to experience a game at it's absolute maximum potential, but then run AA and AF on defaults? As I stated earlier I'm not familiar with all these things. Educate me if you feel the need to. I know when ...

LOL! Love your style. Basically i'm trying to educate myself and try and figure these things out without lending my ears out too much. Are you happy with your 6970? Mine's hdmi port stopped working and got it replaced. Sitting here with the replacement and havent even opened it because i'm still con...

Yes to latest drivers and yes to naitive display. I dont crank the AA and AF up i usually keep them as standard. Just to clarify i'm not complaining. I think my games look kickass but like i said i dont know the so called tricks to boost pc performance. A guy on steam told me how to "use more c...

A good metaphor would be like driving a car in 3rd gear and not knowing that u have a 4th or 5th gear. So you're getting where you need to be but not the way you should be. I think a good article PCF can write and publish would be a guide to make sure your pc is running at full potential. Covering a...

True enough. My concern is in my naivity that i think my game is playing at max potential and infact it isn't. I'm just worried i missed a trick and that i'm missing out on expericeing the game as it should be experienced.

Wow, i have no clue what that means.

If needed i'll buy a 850w psu.

But i did research my fact thoroughly. According to various sites it states it needs from 500w to 600w.

What concerns me about reviews is that the components are tested against the toughest of the tough. Then i card gets slammed because it didnt get the job done as was expected. Im more concerned about whether i'll be able to play a game a max setting and enjoy everything the developer has thrown into...

Lol Hman, sometimes my credit card has a mind of its own. Sometimes it jumps out and does the oddest things. In my mind too i always related more = better. Except when it comes to females and weight :P Bottom line is with my new pc i wanted something uber and fantastic so i can enjoy all games at hi...

Thx Jolly, that was very useless from you. Please refrain from posting in my threads in future.
