    8800GT Launched a Day Early! XFX 512MB $279.99 @ ZZF

    The 8800GT is set to outperform the 8800GTS in all categories. I still wouldn't buy it. Right now I have a 6800XT and am looking to upgrade. I think anyone wanting to upgrade should wait a little while longer. First, around November 15, ATI is coming out with their new HD3800 series. These...

    ATI card on Nvidia chipset

    Ok thanks. Do you think the 2900 PRO is of better value than a 8800GTS? My mobo has three PCI-E slots. Would it be better to get a nvidia card just in case I need/want to go SLI?

    ATI card on Nvidia chipset

    Hi I am in the market for a new DX10 graphics card. I was leaning heavily to buying an 8800GTS. However, now with the 2900PRO I am not so sure. It seems like the 2900 offer some performance gains. I have two questions: Would you buy the 8800GTS or 2900PRO? (price doesnt matter they are...

    Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus and Tt PSU combination

    Has anyone had the experience of pairing this mobo or similar one with a THermaltake PSU. I have this combination and the mobo seems to make my PSU make a particularly annoying noise.

    wierd noise need advice

    oh yea I guess it is. I didn't think that my first post to the PSU section was successful. I looked before I made this post and could not find it. If I knew how to close the other two I would. The one under general hardware was not specific enough I felt. I also agree it cannot be a bad PSU...

    PSU problems... need advice

    Ok so I have a Thermaltake 500 W PSU. I just RMAed it and now have a new one running. It is making this whining noise. I already RMAed the PSU and the Mobo. What could be causing the noise? It is definately the PSU, and no it is not the PSU fan. The actual PSU is making the noise. Heres my...

    Wierdest Computer Hardware problem

    I will probably buy a better quality and higher wattage PSU soon. I am buying an 8800 GTS, and need a better PSU for that anyway. Do you think the noise is bad? I.e. is it slowly breaking my computer or will it blow up in face?

    Wierdest Computer Hardware problem

    The noise is definately coming from the PSU. The wierd thing is, the PSU only makes the noise with the Asus motherboard. When I use an older Biostar 965PT the PSU is fine and makes no noise.
