    VLC still the best out there for video player?

    FFDShow is dated. Try CoreAVC.

    i5 2500k Temps

    I built an i5 2500k for my cousin with a Cooler Master Hyper 212+ (1 Fan). With the stock TIM, I was getting below 80C, according to realTemp, at 4.5ghz at 1.285V in Intel Burn Test maximum stress for 40 iterations.

    Just get a Filco and be done with it.

    onboard Realtek audio vs my old pci x-fi xtreme music

    I have an ASUS P7P55D-E LX and an old Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic SB0770, and the difference in sound quality was very noticeable.

    Moving a former RAID0 Drive from one Computer to Another

    Yeah, I just went into the BIOS turned on RAID and then used the Intel BIOS to remove the drive from a RAID setup. Thanks guys!

    Moving a former RAID0 Drive from one Computer to Another

    I guess I'll try to go into the BIOS.

    Moving a former RAID0 Drive from one Computer to Another

    I don't have access to the old computer. It's 165 miles away, lol.

    Moving a former RAID0 Drive from one Computer to Another

    Is it faster to do it in DOS? My time left in windows is 275628:17:31 lol. That's going to take forever.

    Moving a former RAID0 Drive from one Computer to Another

    I tried to do a search on this but couldn't find anything so here it goes: I moved a Samsung Spinpoint F3 from a RAID0 config in another computer to my current one. I don't care about the data on it, and it's in a non-RAID config on the new computer. Computer management wouldn't initialize...

    Overclocking Stability Over Time? i5 750

    I don't have C1E or Turbo mode enabled. My BIOS is up to date. I think it's stable again; it's just frustrating to have to re-stabilize every few months. I ran 40 passes of IBT at max at 3.8ghz, 1.325 vcore, 181 bclk, 1.24 IMC, 1.66 dram, 1.86 pll, 1.11 PCH. It is hotter now than when...

    Overclocking Stability Over Time? i5 750

    Thanks for the info. My system never actually gets over 80 in actual use though--does that matter? It only gets that hot when I stability-test it with IBT. The most taxing thing I do is StarCraft 2. I don't think it goes over 60 degrees Celsius in actual use.

    Overclocking Stability Over Time? i5 750

    ok my system was stable for 3 months at 3.91Ghz 186 blck, 1.36875 core voltage, imc 1.24, dram 1.66, pll 1.86, pch 1.11, but I've run into the problem again. Intelburn test will BSOD after 1 iteration and Starcraft 2 crashes. Am I killing my chip? I'm trying to find stability at 3.8Ghz...
