    Motherboard for Xeon E5-2665. Help!

    Thank you. In your opinion, should I just wait till the E7's are out? I want to build a top of the line system, but I dont want to buy the server from Dell or HP. I want to custom build it.

    Motherboard for Xeon E5-2665. Help!

    I don't have the chip or any of my parts yet. I am in the process of building the spec sheet and making sure everything is compatible. I just thought I should run it by the pro's here. If you can't help, no need to comment. I was just looking for a healthy discussion on whether the MSI board...

    Motherboard for Xeon E5-2665. Help!

    I need some help finding a motherboard for the Xeon E5-2665 chip. I really wanted a dual socket motherboard, but there only 2 available (I think, ASUS and Supermicro). I have never heard of Supermicro, so I am a bit hesitant. I am not the best at all this stuff, but I am just like any other...

    What 8800GT is this?

    Well, this one seems to have a much smaller fan, than the usual ones. I have a EVGA 8800 GT which is definitely longer than this one.

    CPU Fried?

    OK. So, I turned my house upside down, trying to find my original Lenovo Vista Recovory CD. I finally found it and have started to reinstall vista on the old partition. It will keep my old files in a separate folder and install a fresh copy. Lets hope that whole thing was Vista's fault and...

    CPU Fried?

    so basically I should just take everything apart and start putting back everything one by one.

    CPU Fried?

    I unplugged the power cord and plugged it back in. Then I tried again and it worked, but right after the post beep, the screen to choose from "safe mode" and "start windows normally" comes up. I chose normal start up and the vista loading screen came up for a second and then there was a flash...

    CPU Fried?

    I was installing this Intel Desktop Utility and all of a sudden the computer shuts off and tries to restart, but only my graphic card turns on with the fan on full speed. Nothing else is on. I tried hard reboot by holding the power button, but no luck. What is the deal? Also, the...

    Good games other than 1st person shoot up?

    HAHAHAHA..... rofl. I really didn't expect that one. I just got GRID two days ago and it is an amazing game. I really like all the Need For Speed series. (I think I am the only one on this forum). If you like driving around in an open world, then you should really get Test Drive Unlimited...

    Intel Speedstep Problem

    I have a Lenovo 3000 K1 desktop with the Q6600 chip. This desktop has a dial that can be turned to change the core clocks and other voltages up or down. My core clock is supposed to be at 2.4 GHz, but its stuck at 1.6 GHz. The multiplier should be at 9.0x, but its at 6.0x. I have tried...

    My new 8800gt, a few questions

    My 8800 GT doesn't go above 55C either. Even while playing Crysis at High setting with anti-aliasing on. Rivatuner is a good program, but it gets a little complicated and its interface is not too user friendly. Personally, I use eVGA Precision, now this software is the beast. Really nice...

    8800gt Idling at 73c

    I would recommend using EVGA Precision as posted above by JustaGeek. I just downloaded the software today and is much easier to use. I wish I had known about this software before.
