wow cheers guys... anandtech is simply the best techy site on the net

I've been tweaking my pc and have it overclocked running smoothly. My only annoyance is that when i'm playing the f.e.a.r demo i get stuttering between different rooms. once in a scene the game is really smooth. I'm only running at a low resolution of 1024x768 too. Could it be related to not...

thanks, that probe software does list temps in that range. They just seem very low considering how hot the actual feel of the heatsink is. Anyway I've bought a zalman chipset cooler to glue on to it

My x2 3800+ with a skythe is cooled fantastically with this case and a single nexus fan at the back sucking air in from the top. My vga is fine with the zalman zf cooler. I've got both of them controlled by a t-balancer and when i'm not stressing the system is dead silent, at least i can't tell...

I'm having a right mair of a system build... my psu popped so i'm now using a spare tagan 480 from work. I still get freezes when i run the f.e.a.r demo. I've memtested my ram and hd tested my raptor so i'm clueless what the problem is. I'd be suprised if the psu can't supply enough juice for a...

lol 1. Heatpipe for sli premium doesn't work upside down in a lian li case. 2. 50cm sata lead was a bit kinked or too long. everything sorted. p180 on it's way

I'm a bit worried about the stability of my new a8n premium i just installed. Sometimes when a program like a driver asks to reboot the system the system fails to power up after it's shut down. Occasionally it doesn't detect the sata drive after this and complains about not finding any os. I...

heh oh well it was worth a try, i know anyone who's reading anandtech will fit the bill.. I don't really know any UK forums other than overclockers.co.uk and thats closed to join ups. Mebe hexus will play ball if i ask nicely. g.

Sorry if this is against site policies pls remove if it is. I look after a small pc store in leeds uk and we're looking for someone techy to help out. Bit different to working for a big firm as you'll be able to have an influence on what items we stock and general direction of the business. I...

thanks a lot for the reply, I'd like to put kingston in all the systems but I might have a job convincing my boss that it's worth it. ddr400 does sound like a good idea though. Is the kingston likely to have a lower cas latency, i saw in the specs it's cl3 but some of the unbranded memory...

I work for a pc shop in the UK and we mainly sell budget systems and I'm trying to decide with my boss what memory we should use for these systems(256mb) , our choices are:- OEM which at the moment says vtech on it.. £18.30 Major 3rd which seems to have stayed as PQI for a while now £19.80...

hrm i finally found one:- http://www.digit-life.com/arti...2/gffx/nv43-2.html#p21 I didn't realise the memory and gpu speed would make such a difference..

My interest in this card is that i'm not having to pay for any bundled software and with 256mb of memory I can run doom3 in higher quality modes without disk swapping. 6600 is built on the same core as the 6600gt right? I'm not planning on running crazy high resolutions either so i'm thinking...
