Does upgrading video cooling automatically void the warranty?

eVGA is the only company I've ever seen that putting an aftermarket cooler on doesn't void the warranty. BFG might or XFX but I can't find their warranty info and I'm to lazy to look at the moment.

How good are Acer LCDs?

I've owned 2 Acers and purchased 2 more for two builds I've done for friends and of the ones I bought, they've all been awesome. I've never had any issue with them and NEVER had a dead pixel. I'm actually considering getting my 3rd Acer the AL2423Wdr 24". It's either that or a Dell 2407. I...

It's really a shame that such a nice monitor such as the VX2025 is soiled by a DVI oversight like this. So what is the story on the twinkling effect with the NEC 20WGX² in movies? Is this a serious issue? I know basiaclly what the twinkling effect is but I've yet to encounter it.

Thanks for the fast response xtknight. I guess my main concerns at this point are banding, lackluster colors, input lag (as subjective as that is) and Center scaling. I run most games in a window though so scaling I wouldn't imagine would be a huge issue. This may sound odd but another...

LCD Buyer's Guide

Hello xtknight and thanks so much for this guide. It's definitely helped me swim through the murky waters of my next LCD purchase. I've been looking at 20.1 and 24 inch monitors. For the 20.1" I've been looking at The NEC 20WMGX2 (but it costs as much as the 24" Dell) The VX2025 or the...

Who will have the better performance to price ratio after the Conroe release?!

I think it's safe to wait for the Big site to do some benchmarking before coming to any conclusions. But I've seen a ton of benchies and OCing benchies for conroes and allendale's (XS forums for one) and it's quite impressive. As for a decent 965 mobo. The Gigabyte DQ3 is incredible. Linky...

Still can't decide

I've been eyeballing my next system upgrade as well and I've been flipping back and forth too. Right now it's jsut waiting for conroe to release and waiting for mobo's to come out that I can actually stand. I'm an Epox fan, sue me. :)

What would you do?

I was kind of wondering that myself. Anyhow, I use my machine for mostly gaming but, I like having it for many other things. Just because the guy says he's using it as primarily a gaming machine means nothing in reality. Most people use their computers for more than just gaming even if they...
