    DFI Infinity P965

    If I could get the darn thing to work I'd be glad to offer some feedback but every time I power it on it beeps for 3 seconds, goes silent for a few seconds, beeps for 3 seconds, goes silent for a few seconds (and keeps doing this until you shut it down ). I have it reduced my components to one...

    HARDOCP 2900xt Review! (a proper review)

    Am I missing somethign here? 640MB GTSs under $400 are fairly common now and the 2900XT is usually just behind or just ahead of it as far as performance. Yet people are talking about what a great value it (2900XT) is? In almost every review I've seen the 640MB GTS and the XT run very...

    Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 and 7 Pro

    I ordered one of these on 5/8, it shipped 5/9 and at 9am-ish on 5/10 it was at my front door. Thumbs up for ZZF...now if anyone could get the bloody DFI Infinity 965 in I could actually start building this thing and see how this cooler works out.

    Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 and 7 Pro

    Ewiz sure changes things around a lot. Yesterday they had F7P for $17.99 w/ regular shipping (the F64P was $16.99). With tax the prices came out to be the same whether you ordered yesterday or today....sneaky bastards :P

    Looking at getting a Freezer 7 pro

    They are the same. Newegg for some reason just reams people for that cooler. Ewiz and SVC have it for a much more reasonable price.

    Is this on the stock Intel fan?

    ACF7 or Ultra 90?

    I had thought about that one since it absolutely should be able to handle the E6600 to 3Ghz but no one seems to know when it's coming out or how much it might go for (as I'm trying to go for $20-$40 for the cooler). Doesn't look like anyone else has been able to find any direct comparisons...

    ACF7 or Ultra 90?

    Hello all, I have fairly straightforward question. I'll be buying an entirely new set up in the coming weeks, it looks like so: DS3 E6600 2x1GB G. Skill PC6400 EVGA 8800 GTX Corsair 520W PSU I'm wanting to O/C the E6600 to 3GHz, I've narrowed my cooling options down to the above 2...

    Newegg Has the E6600 for $235

    ZZF has the E6700 down to $340 already (compared w/ Newegg stil at $485 I believe). Can't wait till they are all the way down to the 4/22 price.

    Best motherboard for a 3ghz 800mhz FSB P4?

    The P4C800 is no better than its much cheaper Springdale version, the P4P800. The IC7 I have also heard good things about as well..... Mac

    *** Official MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R/LSR (875P) Thread ***

    Bios version up until 1.4 had temp detection that was wrong. My 3.0ghz was reading right around 70c but after I flashed to 1.4 I idle around 48c and under load I'm usually at 52c. I would suspect that person has a pre 1.4 bios version. Mac

    If you had $500, what's the best mobo/cpu/memory combo for performance?

    I agree with magomago, getting a springdale board without utilizing the dual channel memory feature is pointless. I would stick with the intel system but instead of getting 1 stick of 512MB RAM, get 2 sticks of 256 MB RAM. You'll still come in under $500 and the performance increase between...
