Hi :-) I found a store tonight that ships worldwide. Specialtech.co.uk and they had that cable. So now I have ordered it :-) But I find it strange that these cables seems so rare, considering that many cabinets with front usb 3.0 ports don't have internal connectors but instead have external connectors which is supposed to be connected outside on your motherboards rear I/O panel. But thanks for your help anyway, will let you know if I encounter a similar problem another time :-)

Hmmm... Not much response on this one. Does anyone know of anyone making a similar cable or any other store that might ship to Norway?

Hello! I tried to order this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bitfenix-Internal-USB-Adapter-BFA-U3-KU3IU3-RP/dp/B005DVKD62 both from Bitfenix own store and from the link above, but neither ships to Norway :helpsmilie:. So are there anyone willing to order the cable for me and then ship it to me? I will transfer money through paypal when you know the total cost from the store and the cost of shipping to Norway.

As far as I understand this if you set it up like this: Blue: VGA Black: Revo Blue: VGA It will by default allocate the following bandwith: Blue 16x Black 1x Blue 16x However it also says you can manually change this in Bios, giving it following bandwith: Blue 16x Black 8x Blue 8x and according to Tom's hardware it will be sufficient with 8x bandwith for your second VGA card

There is people around here who knows alot more than me about this, but hasn't IPS panel very slow response time, which makes them not the best choice for gaming?

Well, it turns out you're right Falcon. I need a Flex or a DirectCU II. But now it will probably be a 6970 DCII since the pricedifference is so low between 6950 DCII and 6970 DCII. Putting two cards in crossfire doesn't allow to add more screens it seems. The second card is only a slave so you cannot connect any screens to it. So I am glad I checked here because I was pretty much set on buying two 6950's. Would have been a costly mistake. Now all I need is a confirmation on how to connect the monitors - DVI vs DisplayPorts. Thanks for helping me out Falcon.

Yes, I am thinking of this too, but I thought I would wait until I had the watercooling fitted before I would do it :) And btw, I was never thinking of buying the 1GB version so noone gets confused by that. And I've made a little sketch of my plan he he :)

But this isn't a reference design, so it will make it hard/impossible to find a fullcover waterblock. I didn't know that you couldn't use all of the ports at the same time. You are 100% sure about this? Oh, and besides, when I see or hear Sapphire, all my warninglights starts to flash bright red. I've had terrible experience with them in the past. 3 cards that have died and I only got one of them replaced by warranty - so I will try really hard to avoid Sapphire. Well that pretty much rules out any use of crossfire then. And I want gain anything from Crosfire in a multimonitor setup either? Because this makes a 6970 maybe worth it if I will only buy a single card anyway. Especially if a 6970 will overcome a limitation of four monitors. And yes, I know there are different versions with different coolers, but the problem is that most card with different coolers don't use the reference design pcb which makes it hard/impossible to fit fullcover waterblock. My question were primarly if the reference cooler was different from various cards or if the different results in reviews was simply subjective to the testers. Dell UltraSharp U2711 --> IPS panel - Very expensive NEC Multysync PA271W --> IPS panel - Insanly expensive!!! Samsung SyncMaster P2770FH--> Doesn't have VESA mount :-( I wasn't aware of that 80% of max workload rule-of-thumb. Thanks for the heads-up. I thought I would be fine with a 850w, but maybe I have to recalculate. Thanks for your answer. Will have to do some more research then. Why does it have to be so hard to shop hardware? It is supposed to be fun to shop :megalol: Anyway, couldn't help notice that you are from Den Helder. I've been there a couple of times when I was in the Navy. Didn't spend much time there though. We usually jumped straight on the train to Amsterdam when we was on leave.

Within a couple of weeks I will do some long awaited upgrades to my computer and I have some questions. I thought that the more I read, the more things would be clarified, but I am even more confused now. I've thought about replacing my HD 6850. I got it just 6 month ago because it was cheap and my old gfxcard couldn't handle A-10C. It has performed pretty well I would say so I was thinking of waiting for the new HD7000 series. But my fathers gfxcard said good night yesterday, so I was kind and gave him mine as a replacement, so now I have to get a new (or two?). 1. My setup will eventually be as follow: 3x27" 1920x1080 + 2x8" for the Cougar MFD's. Will I be okay with a HD 6950 for this setup? Or should I go for 2x HD 6950 in Crossfire? The reason I want to go for HD 6950 is that they are ALOT cheaper than their big brother. And from test I've seen, they perform quite similar. 2. Will crossfire do any good in my configuration? I've read post that are contradictatory regarding this. Because as far as I know, crossfire only works in full screen. But I cannot run fullscreen if I want to export the MFD's to the smaller 8" screens? 3. Does it matter what output you use from the gfxcard? If I use both the DVI's --> DVI-VGA adapter --> 8" screens. And then use the HDMI and the two display ports --> for the 3x27". Will this be fine or is it something I should know? 4. Are there any differences in the reference design between the different manufacturers? Because Asus and XFX are bit cheaper than others. I know Asus has little bit overclock on their reference design, but I was more thinking of the cooler. Are the cooler the same on everyone? Because in reviews I've read there has been some complaints about noice in idle from XFX but the noise in idle on Asus was fine. The reason I want to go for reference card is because I am planning to watercool them, but that is still some months into the future so I don't want them to be to loud in idle in the meantime. Under load I don't care. 5. I've been looking into several monitors, but I think I'll go for Asus VE278Q based on price and availability here in Norway and design of the bezels. Would you recommend this one? I know the BenQ M2700HD has done well in reviews but I want to use the monitors in portrait view and the BenQ hasn't a very eyefinity portrait mode friendly design :doh: Alot of questions I know, but hope some of you will help me, because it is alot of money I am gonna spend, I don't want to make any mistakes.

Thank you :thumbup: Dangerous Waters are just perfect - looks pretty much like Fleet Command - and I do believe that Sonalysts were the developer of Fleet Command? €15 is an okay price as well. I'll admit that the graphics didn't look too good from screenshots and trailer - but it doesn't matter. It will keep me occupied til my computer is up and running again so I can return to the Hog.

Hi! Due to problems with my PSU, I will have to return it to the webshop for repairs or a new one. So I guess I will be without my desktop computer for a couple of weeks now. So I have to find some game I can play on my laptop. I was thinking of Jane's Fleet Command, but it is a very old game but I did play it alot 10 years ago. So I was wondering if there has been some similar games in recent years? My laptop isn't too bad. It can handle 3d graphics. Not like A-10 but I have played Civilization V with decent graphic settings.

I thought I should post my experience with the Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals here. I would assume that this is not a common problem, but it could save you alot of frustration if it happens to you. I had only read good reviews of the Combat Pedals and expectations were sky high when I got them - but I soon was a bit dissappointed. The pedals were very precise, but they didn't move smoothly. I did some search but couldn't find anyone with similar problems - so I assumed I had gotten a faulty set of pedals. I contacted Saiteks scandinavian support, I they didn't have any experience with what I described, so I asked if I could open them up and see if I could find out what was wrong before I returned them. So I got a go on that - and I am glad I did :thumbup: I couldnt find anything wrong at first. Even swapped the wheels on the "carriages" from one side to the other without any difference. But then I suddenly noticed this in the middle of the upper rail A closer look And here it is removed It is a metal fragment - probably from the production. Couldn't find anything that had a tiny piece chopped off. It is very small. Less than 1 mm i diameter and probably 2-3 mm long. But that was enough to cause some major annoyment for me. So now I am a very happy Saitek owner and I would like to give a big thank you to bumfire for trying to help me out.

If you have TM Warthog then you will have airbrakes on your throttleunit if you use the default setup, so you should map left and right wheelbrakes to your pedals.

Don't forget to disengage nosewheel steering. Your landinglightcone is all over the runway.

I got my Saitek Combat pedals yesterday and was looking forward to unbox them and try them, but right now I am a little bit dissapointed, because they don't feel silky smooth. They are very precise, no doubt but when I push the left pedal forward it almost feels like it travel over some gravel halfway (a bit exaggerated, but you get the point). Is this normal or am I up for a RMA? Because right now, I am in doubt if I should sell my Hofmann pedals or not.
