    Asus Striker Extreme crashing in BIOS

    I now have it at 1 Raptor HD, one new stick of cheap Kingston 1GB DDR2 4200 533MHz, one floppy, one video card. I can not even got it to POST anymore. I think the mobo is defective or something...cpu init.

    Asus Striker Extreme crashing in BIOS

    I can not get my Striker Extreme to work properly. I have taken out battery, pushed "clear CMOS" button several times, and it still will always crash after I am in the BIOS for 30 secs to 2 mins. Any advice for this problem? It has 1305 BIOS. I've taken out stuff for testing, and it now...

    Should 2 120mm radiators be inline, or seperate?

    I have a side intake 120mm fan with radiator, and a rear intake 120mm fan with radiator. Should I connect these inline so they will cool the fluid more, or have one before the CPU, and one before the video cards? Here's my setup... 2 Black Ice Pro 120s Aquastream pump, 6mm ID tubing Aqua...

    Advice for parts in Christmas Gaming PC build

    Thanks for the input guys! I ended up going with CORSAIR Dominator 4x1GB DDR2 1066, a pair of 8800 GTX OC cards (come stock clocked higher than Ultras, cost a lot less), and a QX6850 since after doing some more reading on forums, I don't think the QX9650 will work well with the 680i chipset...

    Advice for parts in Christmas Gaming PC build

    Hi guys. I'm building my brother a PC for Christmas. It will be used primarily for gaming, so I am going with SLI and an Intel processor. I already have some AquaComputer watercooling stuff, so I will water cool the CPU and videocards. Can anyone recommend what the optimum setup would be...

    A8N-SLI Premium...4GB or 2GB of memory?

    Thanks for the input. I'd like 4GB of memory for working on large CAD files, and multitasking in general. Gaming is most important for this PC, so I'll just stick with 2GB for the best performance. I will probably get these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227056 .

    A8N-SLI Premium...4GB or 2GB of memory?

    I was going to get 4GB of memory for my new PC, but I was told it would run better in games with 2GB that only take up 2 mem slots. Is that right? Does anyone make a 2GB stick with fast timings? I'd like 4GB, even if it costs allot more. I will mainly be gaming, and this PC is a ASUS A8N-SLI...

    Best mobo for gaming with SLI? Any dual proc+dual core?

    OK guys...you talked me into it. I'll watercool this PC...my first watercooled rig. I figure I have a couple options now. 1. The Asus A8N-SLI Premium (or DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR, or MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI?) with an overclocked 4800+ X2...are those things stable when overclocked to...

    Best mobo for gaming with SLI? Any dual proc+dual core?

    Yeah, I really just want the fastest gaming performance for this computer, so I guess I'll cross the Dual-Core CPUs off my list and stick with the FX-57 for now. By the time games can use Dual-Core processors, this computer will probably be old anyways. I thought that AMD might soon come out...

    Best mobo for gaming with SLI? Any dual proc+dual core?

    I'm building a new PC, and only have the video cards so far...two BFG GeForce 7800 GTXs. What is the best motherboard available right now that has SLI? I was thinking that a dual processor mobo that can run two dual-core AMDs would be cool, but I'm not familiar with everything that's out now...

    any Dual CPU & SLI boards out now?

    Where can I buy the Thunder K8WE? I looked around online, and I can't find a place selling it. Thanks.

    SLI dual nVidia cards...AMD64 or Dual Intels?

    Thanks for all the ideas guys. Saving money or getting a good value is not important to me though. I just want the best PC I can get, with cost not being a factor.

    SLI dual nVidia cards...AMD64 or Dual Intels?

    I am going to use it for gaming 90% of the time. You think dual Opterons would be slower than a single 64 FX when gaming? I know most games aren't multi-processor aware, but I thought that one CPU could handle the OS and background stuff, and the other CPU could be entirely used for the game.

    SLI dual nVidia cards...AMD64 or Dual Intels?

    Thanks guys! Those dual Opteron boards look awesome. I hope they are available soon. Anyone know when they are available? They look like the perfect solution. If they aren't out for a while, I will be forced to get an A8N-SLI Deluxe.
