    Arctic Cooling Silencer 4 vs TT Giant III???

    I got the silencer 4 in today... WOW! I am impressed. The images from newegg and other sites I had tried to research this on were not nearly enough to show what this thing is. Covers all of the ramsinks and is an amazing piece of equipment. Have not been able to test it out yet, but will be...

    Arctic Cooling Silencer 4 vs TT Giant III???

    Thanks! I am really hoping it helps a lot. I had so many problems with this computer, Have been through three motherboards, two power supplies and two hard drives. Finally figured out the problem to be based in the hard drive shorting out. What a pain in the arse! I really hope the ATI Silencer...

    Arctic Cooling Silencer 4 vs TT Giant III???

    *Update* I juse purchased an ATI Silencer 4. The system turned out to be dead due to a faulty harddrive causing a short in the PSU and in turn frying the motherboard. MSI is replacing the motherboard and newegg is replacing the harddrive. All should be in within a few days and I will post temps...

    First to last computer?

    I see lots of OLD skool guys and a few new skool guys. My systems listed in the first post are also a limited number. Not much for the upgrades etc. Right now I have 6 machines in total and still growing in number. The oldest one current at the house is a Celeron 2.2GHz E-machines (used for the...

    First to last computer?

    What was your first computer? And either give a list of the machiens you have gone through so far, or just the most recent machine. I started off on a C64 when I was 6yrs old. Amiga machines followed. First PC was an old HP 75MHz machine. Stepped up to a 333MHz Celeron back in 1998. In 2000...

    So my girlfriend is going to see her ex tonight.... *UPDATE 3*

    Maybe a day late and dollar short, but if your g/f is keeping this troll around. It is more than likely testing you. She wants to either a.) see how you will react to the whole ordeal and trully wants some free space or b.) she really thinks of you as a walking door mat. Either way I am pretty...

    Turn X800 Pro into X800 XT PE with Bios Flash

    If you have gotten rid of all drivers already from previous installations and totoally re-installed the drivers for the card...Sounds to me like a probable issue with the pipeline. If it is functioning fine at 12pipes with the higher clock speeds, and not at 16pipes. I would bring it back down...

    Arctic Cooling Silencer 4 vs TT Giant III???

    I am aware of how ATI ships them, and I am also aware of the temps my video card was reading with ATITool after I clocked it up to an XT PE. Nearly 80degrees and the system would shut down or reboot. While this problem MAY have been more related to my dead PSU, I have done some research and MSI...

    I think my PSU is dead?

    I do not often get power failures here or even surges. I do have a high end surge protector on the system though and the PSU itself has a built in fuse that should blow if it were a surge. I beleive it may have been a case of overheating or porr solder joint on the board after some closer...
