That's a pretty odd resolution 1680 x 1050, is it a wide screen? Anyhow It might not be this but all TFT / LCD screens have a "native resolution" which they are designed to run in, This may not be the same as the maximum resolution. They can often be run in many other resolutions but as a...

Very strange? this doesn't explain why a lot of us are having no problems running with the 66.93's anyhow with these 7 xx series there's been comments of pissy water in HL2, are you getting that btw

I wasn't talking softmod as such, more refereing to the fact one pipe could be ever so slightly below par so only showing up under the full screen sli load. I admit I / we are clutching at straws now, but we're running low of things to suggest for you to try. Id be the first to blame the...

You may have something here, I'm sure before xmas OCUK, (where I got my Leadtek 6800 GT's from), had their budget GTO's shown as SLI compatible. It no longer mentions SLI in the specs, so I wonder if they've had returns / complaints? I'm 90% sure of this as I nearly got them because GT's were so...

Yeah as if there is a chip issue with detail or timing under stress but that still doesn't explain the windowed mode what res is it running at windowed, (the highest you can get) ? Definitely not the DVI-D -> D-Sub dongle as I'm using one of those because my Leadtek GT's annoyingly have dual...

I've been trying to assist you in the nvnews topic, but you need to accept it's not easy when you don't have the issue yourself. I have that 600 watt Enermax in my SLI, and so far it's worked 100% perfectly with none of the graphical issues. PSU's can cause issues, but I don't think this...

I think Asus need to read this topic, because although I like their cards due to temp reporting, (often GPU & Ram), they are hopeless at rma or simply helping out buyers that have a little savy. It took me OVER six months of continual e-mailing loads of different Asus depts to eventually get...

That kind of reminds me of a girlfriend ages back, her solution to any weird noises coming from her car was to turn the car stereo up a few notches , had the desired effect ....... kind of, but hardly an "engineering solution" as you are not solving the PC noise just hiding it. I'm sure it...

here4amission All explained on my site, read the intro and follow the "Stealth Cooling" link, eveything in the PC that needs it is liquid cooled CPU, NB, VGA GPU & RAM, HDD & PSU ZeroFanZone

theNEOone When sitting at my desk all I can hear is the faint buzz of my monitor, but that's only if I turn my head towards it. It's strange because I don't really remember all the work I did to get to this level now. It just seems normal to have a PC that makes no noise.......... can't ever...

Here's a nice full tower in alu Lian-Li PC 70 comes in $2 over your budget including shipping from Here in the USA

I haven't had any trouble with the Seagate drives, (two 40Gb Cuda IV's), around a year old now, and have been run water-cooled for most of that period. Unlike previous hdd types, including Seagate's, they have a fluid bearing motor and are pretty near silent in operation. Keep in mind my system...

I gave up with fans as a cooling solution because even the quietest ones were annoying to me. True silence is very difficult to achieve if you still want high performance. while my set-up is far to extreme or not practical for most people it is 99% silent, (will be totally silent when I finally...

Depends what you consider old, but I still have a built imaculate XR311, and for those that don't know it's not a FORD, but an accurate model of a previous US army jeep that looks similar to a Hummer or Humve or what ever it's called. ;) It was one of the first they made and I think it was the...
