I'm just now getting into overclocking my cpu, after I realized it was bottle necking my gpu. So my cpu defaults at 2.8, but I read I can go to 3.3 and even 4.1 if I increase my voltage a tad and still remain stable. So I was watching my temps closely and running prime95. I got my bus speed up...

Yeah, I understand that. But, I think I might try to set one up anyway. Because I'm stubborn, have no life, plus that way I could just download things there then drive over every now an then to gather my files via usb or something.

I have a question about speeding up my internet connection/lowering ping time. I live 8 miles from town, just out of reach from cable internet, so I have to have satellite internet. It's really expensive, so I just have the basic package which gives me 1 mbps downloads. But I also want to do a...

oh, no, generalized answers are all i need.. but i do have one last question, how do you know how far to overclock memory?? it's not visible in games like the core..

i definitely didn't just wack it up, i went up incrementally. i'm way to cautious about that kind of stuff. i know other people have gotten up to 870+ but mostly just around 850. i got it up pretty high, but i started to get artifacts so i went back down to 840 just to be safe and it seemed to...

When overclocking my gpu, can I basically turn up core clock and memory clock settings up all the way with AMD Overdrive as long as I keep my temperature reasonable? Or are there other things I need to watch out for? I have an HD 6670 and I've been increasing and increasing and I've maxed it...

I'm new to overclocking. I got my computer in November during the holiday sale on newegg. Since then I've purchased Skryim. My graphics card is an AMD 6670. When playing on the default settings Skyrim detects for my computer (high), I get a lot of lag, especially in first person, which almost...

I've posted here before about having issues with getting surround sound out of my PC's GPU which said it supported. Well, I can't get it to work with my set up and I'm looking for a hardware solution now. My computer has one HDMI output and I can't get 5.1 surround sound out of it. I can only...

I'm not seeing any option for setting my TV as output device. I see an check box to "Add 1080p60 format to the Display Manager (NTSC)" but that's about it. And I don't want to click it because it says it could possibly damage my TV. Which, I'd rather not do. edit: messed around with the control...

I un-installed and re-installed the sound drivers. Then I went to Control Panel > Sound > AMD HDMI Output > Configure and I still only got an option for stereo. So next I guess I'll try to contact the dealer.

I've tried every option there is on my TV for sound. changed "digital audio out" from "PCM" to "Dolby Digital". turned off the built in speakers on my TV. "Analong Audio Out" didn't seem to affect anything. Turning "SUS TSHD" on and off. this is the thread i go the idea from: Salved! Can't Get...

after more searching around the web, i learned sometimes computers recognize the tv speakers instead of the surround sound speakers, which would be why i'm only hearing 2.1 and only getting the option for stereo on windows 7.. would there be a way to force audio to 5.1?

an optical cable goes from the back of my tv to my surround sound system.

My GPU only has HDMI, VGA, and DVI ports. No audio ports. In the specifications here: AMD Radeon it says: Integrated HD audio controller Output protected high bit rate 7.1 channel surround sound over HDMI or DisplayPort with no additional cables required Supports AC-3, AAC, Dolby TrueHD and...

one is called "AMD HDMI Output" and the other i can't remember the name of. i'm not currently at home so i'll look when i get there, but i do remember that it's for the headphone jack EDIT: you probably meant did i select stereo or surround, right? It only showed "Stereo Speakers" and "Surround...
