    C'mon XFX

    Sent back a 4850 a while back and they sent me a 4870. It wasn't going down to normal idle speeds, so I took a look at the BIOS and it had a non XFX BIOS on it. A quick ticket to support and I got the correct BIOS and all has been well since then. I'll take a little extra effort for a free...

    The Corei7 is an amazing processor

    Too bad most of WoWs work is done in a single thread.

    Video cards, games and reviews

    You would be surprised how good of a system you need to play wow smoothly at max settings thanks to the latest expansion. Making assumptions based on the old World of Warcraft/Burning Crusade is fairly invalid, as graphics requirements went up with the expansion. World of Warcraft does have...

    I need some recommendations for a low end video card.

    Get something above a 6600gt in power if you want it to look nice and run smooth.

    Proof OCZ is not all that!

    Almost as if you need to email him to get his attention?

    Proof OCZ is not all that!

    I understand that it can be effective, but bumping up 2-3 week old threads to add the equivalent of "OCZ SUCKS" is not a great way to conduct yourself.

    Proof OCZ is not all that!

    Sorry about your experience, but I have had no problems with them. I RMAed a 450W modstream, and after a week or two they had none there, so they sent me a 850W gamexstream for free, overnight. It took two painless emails to get things done. I suggest that you contact...

    939 X2 4200+ upgrade

    939 X2 4200+ upgrade

    I went 3000+ Venice to am2 x2 3600+ (at 2.6) and it is pretty nice. More FPS in games, and much much better multitasking. (But some of that is from going 1GB DDR - 2GB DDR2, new mobo)

    Voltage inconsistencies

    AFAIK Brisbanes have that problem reading the temp correctly, so I have no clue what my temps are. Is that the temp reported from a mobo sensor? Because coretemp tells me that my Brisbane cores are 12C , 5C, the Biostar utility tells me that under ~60% CPU usage I am 3-4F above room temp. I...

    Just purchased an AMD 4400+ Brisbane 65nm

    1.475 - 1.5 is my rule, anymore than that is too much without better than water cooling.
