Hi all, i was wondering if maybe someone here could help me. i just bought a 7600 gs evga card and installed it in a brand new pc and now i can't hear myself think. this thing is ridiculously loud. can anyone recommend a good quiet cooler that i can replace the stock hsf with? i'm not sure...

hi, i recently put together an asus striker system with 2 8800's qx6700 and ddr2 1066 from corsair with an 850w tt toughpower psu. i was wondering about voltages. pc probe ii is showing me alarms for the southbridge voltage at 1.71v and the 1.2v ht at 1.5v. are these acceptable voltages...

that is a nice machine but i too would go for evga then water cool em with aftermarket blocks. also, if you can get 8888c4 ram then obviously that is better at 4.4.4.12 instead of 8550c5 at 5.5.5.15. 2 gigs is better than 4 for this point in time because the memory controller will not support 4...

thanks for the reply caberguy :)

hey, i was wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not they think this psu will work. i will be running a quad core @3.2 with 4 raptors, 2 dvd burners, 1 zalman cooler, 2 8800 gtx's and am purchasing a thermaltake 850w toughpower. this psu got an excellent review with a similar setup but...

wake on lan can require that the pci card have a power cable plugged into it from the motherboard. also, if the computer is completely off it will still give a small amount of power to this card to allow it to listen on the broadcast ip. then when you have it enabled in the bios and you...

cool.. this is nice to know thank you very much for you help :) buying a mobo with electrical x8 seems a lot like buying a car with 8 cylinders and 6 spark plugs... what gives anyway, thank you

Hi, I am looking at the possibility of buying a motherboard with 2 or 3 PCI-E x16 slots but I am stuck at the different "types" of PCI-E x16 slots. For example, intel's badaxe 2 mobo says they have 1 pci-e x16 slot (electrical) and 1 pci-e x16 slot (x8 electrical). What does this mean? EVGA...

ok that helps a little bit.. so it's a different architecture? different way of doing graphics? or just a modification of a typical gaming card

Hey all, I was wondering. What exactly is a Quadro card? It is far more expensive than anything that i've ever seen in the gaming market. I'm not quite sure what it is? What is so different that it would be worth 3 times the cost? If anyone can help me understand a little bit I would...

ok that's good to know... what about chipset solutions?

thanks for the reply :)
