As I read posts here I see that system temps and voltages are monitored by the hardware but can this stuff be sent to it's own monitor?
Thanks for all the help on this and my other questions, Duke Masters ]]> Computer Hardware duke-one http://www.pcmech.com/forum/computer-hardware/229922-dual-monitors%3B-different-content.html http://www.pcmech.com/forum/computer-hardware/229921-p877-lk-motherboard.html Fri, 24 May 2013 14:09:23 GMT For my P877LK Motherboard, I have a question on the bios. I see when I go into it that I have options for performance, normal, and battery saver or whatever it says. Are these overclocking features or? And are they safe if I do performance? This is for a custom build. For my P877LK Motherboard, I have a question on the bios. I see when I go into it that I have options for performance, normal, and battery saver or whatever it says.

My budget is £200 ($230)

I don't need: IPS, Display port, fancy slim bezels, decent sound.

I am happy with 1080p, HDMI, VA, vesa wall fitting, price.

After a good search around and in my price range this monitor has come up tops for me.

There are some decent reviews and some not so good on this screen but...there seems to be a newer version on it's way,

Same old story, Is there much difference, should I wait until the 60 becomes more available or just go with the 50 and be done with it? ]]> Computer Hardware lostplanet http://www.pcmech.com/forum/computer-hardware/229920-27-inch-gaming-monitor-advice.html http://www.pcmech.com/forum/general-discussion/229918-throw-out.html Fri, 24 May 2013 03:30:46 GMT I ain't never throwing anything out again. Recent PC parts excluded. My Dad seemed a pack rat and was and still is at age 84. Being from the Depression, etc., he never tossed anything and I understand why. He always said what you already know and heard - "you throw it away today, you'll need it next week". Was right. I got tired of tripping over and moving stuff in garage and backyard, stuff wasn't used so chunked it. Of course galbud helped in decision, lol. Now I want those tomato cages and planter boxes and fence that was around garden, and have to go buy them. As Dad said, don't ever throw anything away. ]]> General Discussion SARGE http://www.pcmech.com/forum/general-discussion/229918-throw-out.html http://www.pcmech.com/forum/gaming-benchmarks/229917-dead-space-3-a.html Fri, 24 May 2013 01:36:10 GMT i was surprised to see my vga going into comma while playing i checked after burner and the gpu usage was 100% temp 90c and down it went with the ocing only to find out later that the game is using frostbit benchmark engine its like doing the burn in benchmark with combustor all game long .... i was surprised to see my vga going into comma while playing i checked
