    voltages in windows

    You need to read the last sticky post in this forum.....it's entitled: How To Read Your Power Supply Voltages Don't trust software readings! You can find it here: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=2268102&enterthread=y

    Gigabyte X58 MB + 3 x 2GB = $240-30mir= $210 plus ship

    Goddam picky, aren't you? Too many legacy connectors.....and the only legacy connectors would be....the two PS/2 ports.....for the kb and mouse....not exactly too many and not unexpected. Good thread crap.......... And great deal, btw, OP!

    Buying a new cpu block today for a cpu/nb only loop....

    CPU is a Q9650 OC'd to 3.8-4.0GHz, NB block is EK S-Max block, pump is DDC2 w/XSPC top and a Swiftech Micro-Res reservoir. Trying to decide on a new cpu top to go along with the new cpu....the Q9650 is new today....just breaking it in under a D-Tek v1. I'm thinking of either an EK Supreme...

    Copper pipes

    Have seen it done a few times before......but after you get it set up, you're really fixed into the positions you've piped everything, which makes changing blocks a bit more difficult....

    Intel sockets

    Exactly!!!! Amazing what a name makes some people think........... Xeon 775 socketed cpus work in pretty much any motherboard compatible with the equivalent C2D/C2Q cpu. I even had a Xeon X3210 working in an Intel X975 BadAxe motherboard...flawlessly.

    How "much" video card will I need to get good performance at 1920x1200 resolutions...

    I've got an ATI 4850 card and, while currently using a 22" widescreen monitor (1680x1050 resolution), am buying a new monitor next week (24" or 26") with a 1920x1200 resolution. Question is.......how much more video card do I need to get "good" performance.....will adding another 4850 in...

    C2Q clockspeed to beat an i7

    PCTC2, you have to also consider that RaptureMe most likely has HT turned off......from what I've seen and read, to achieve a 4.0GHz overclock on the i7 920, HT invariably has to be turned off to get it stable, which is why his processor, even at that speed, is being beaten by his slower C2Q...

    9550 Running at 2.0?

    And to that I call shens......the switch is so fast, by the time you possibly could "notice" anything different, the cpu is at its "normal" speed. The only time it's downclocked is in total idle.....open a program and it's back to full speed almost instantaneously. I seriously doubt anyone...

    7750BE or M3A78-CM.....Whose at Fault?? Resolved - Somewhat...

    Since the motherboard, memory, video card all work with the Brisbane 4000+ cpu and just switching one component, your cpu, causes it to not function, you may have the cpu as the casue....esp. if the motherboard is able and capable of running your new 7750BE chip.

    Better cpu upgrade.....E8500/8600 vs. Q9550......

    OK...."secondary" machine has an Asus Maximus Formula motherboard, 4 x 2GB Mushkin DDR2-1000 RAM, ATI HD4850 video card, but a lowly E7200 cpu that is hard pressed to break 3.4GHz at 1.2V. So, am looking at upgrading the cpu only.....well, maybe the video card, too, but that's irrelevant...

    Playing Monopoly with real money.

    How long would the game last? Only ask because I think a casino would view a game that takes hours to complete would absolutely HATE the payout, esp. compared to something like craps, blackjack, slots, roulette....all of which take just a minute or two to give the casino your money......in...

    Hypothetical WC build

    The GTZ would probably cool within a couple of degrees C of the the EK Supreme, but the EK Supreme is probably one of the most restrictive blocks out there......needs to be in its own loop, and probably not even include a Northbridge cooler, either. I've read that the EK Supreme needs lots of...
