    System Upgrade Question

    You actually can tell a difference while flying and turning from 40-100 fps (it looks choppy). In burning crusades I could always hit 120 fps in Shattrath. The HD wouldn't be a bottleneck for gaming as most everything is loaded into ram (unless switching zones). I am looking into grabbing an...

    Strange Problems with OC IP35 Pro E6750

    Sorry, I have been out of country and haven't had the oppurtunity to update. I have since resolved my problem. It was an issue with the PSU. I have a lesser PSU laying around that i swapped out and it worked just fine. I went out and got a new one and all is well. Thanks!

    Strange Problems with OC IP35 Pro E6750

    When i am able to get into the system after clearing the CMOS, ive looked at the Uguru app in windows and it shows a warning state on the CPU RPM. The CPU fan is on and works fine but its not reporting in uGuru, could that be causing the system to not boot?
