Hi there! I am planning to build a home server with RAID 5. Some of the things I would like to be able to use it for is: FTP Mediaserver Streaming mediafiles (heard of a program called Jinzora) Backup Mailserver Other uses (perhaps ventrilo or host Counter-Strike server or similar) The...

Thank you both for your help! I will move my card and get back to you later about the result! /B [EDIT] I mentioned earlier that my clock frequency at idle was at 2Ghz, instead of 3Ghz but went up to 3Ghz whenever I stressed the processor a bit (running a game for example) is that normal?

Well, as far as I know my motherboard has 2 PCIe 16x slots? I am currently away and can't check for sure but I do know that my graphic card is plugged into the second slot (the one furthest away from the processor if that helps). Could it be that this slot is not a 16x slot? /B [EDIT]...

Hi I noticed that my PCIe ?Link width? is set to 4x rather than the maximum 16x (using CPU-Z). After reading the forum, I understand having your link width decreased like that is really bad and can (or will?) effect your GPU performance. My problem is that the only advice on how to fix it I...

Okay, back from vacation I still haven't had much time testing things properly with my system but I took 10 minutes to really try to rule out the sounddrivers as the problem... ..and it seems, ironicly, that the sounddrivers was the problem. When I updated them the mysterious buzz seems to...

Due to work and up coming vacation I wont be able to try and work things out with my system right now but I'll do that when I get back on the 3 of August. I just want to say I'm really happy for the help you have given me so far! I will update my thread once I have given my system a proper check...

Sorry, will do! :) Okay, I will open the chassi and check it out. I'll reconnect the front panel and also try to get hold of a soundcard. I scoped around in some other forums where people had similiar problems. Some of the answers they got referred to the PSU being broken or damage...

Thanks alot guys for your advices! I have now tried unplugging my USB-mouse and in with a PS/2 mouse but no change. Took me some time to find the "mic boost" option, a bit different in Vista. Anyway it wasn't just a checkbox to enable/disable as in XP. I could choose from 1dB increase to 30dB...

Hello! When I was looking out parts for first computer build the advice I got here was great! I have now bought it. I am really happy with my computer and it works great, except for a few minor (I hope) problems. Whenever I start the computer there is no beep code. My computer starts up...

Hello! This autumn if all goes to plan I will start studying at uni and will then need a laptop. I have at the moment a really good deal (I think) if I buy an LG laptop, more precisely one of these two (doesn't matter which one): http://nordic.lge.com/sv/produ...5tum_e500jape2v.jhtml# or...

Hello! I'm new to overclocking but eager to try it. I've been reading about some of the programs useful for overclocking, TAT being one of them. It seems to be very highly recommended so I want to try it out, its just I can't get it to work! I get an error message every time I try to start it...

Okay, have to think about that then! Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 2232BW is a potentially good screen but it seem almost impossible to know for sure without actually buying it. Some people think its great while others complain about backbleading and such problems seem to vary depending on what...

Its a newer motherboard and I have heard good things about it, any reason I should not buy it? What is the difference between them?

Club 3D seems to be an okay company so I'll go for that. As for the monitor its really difficult knowing what is good and what's not. I can't even find serious tests. Anyway, I think I will settle with a 22" monitor as it will cost me to much for a good 24". So what do you think about the Acer...

Okay.. I have been going back and forth so many times I've got myself lost but I think this is the build for me: Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS4 Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Processor cooler - Xigmatek Red Scorpion S1283 Memory - Mushkin XP DDR2 PC6400/800MHz CL4 2x2GB - Please...
