I'll grab the 10.6 drivers now. I don't play BC2 so I guess I'm lucky in that respect, lol.

One time thing. I've never experienced this before.

I turned on my computer today, an i7 930 OC'd at 4.01 (survived a 16 hour stress test), left the room, came back about 10 minutes later and saw a blank green screen. I've done some searching online and apparently this is attributed to the graphics card? I have an XFX 5870 reference 1GB card...

It's 1.3250 if I remember correctly. With vdroop it maxes out at 1.296 in CPU-Z. Temps have dropped since posting those pictures. It idles at 42 at the highest now; I guess the paste is finally setting in. I don't like my qpi/vtt voltage, though. 1.355 is the first number in my bios that's...

Yeah those were maximum Prime95 blend temps. (After 16 hours) I can't get it stable with a lower vcore as 190x21. This is as low as it would work while stable. I guess the consensus is that these temps are okay/good for an air cooler, especially the Mugen 2, and that since I'm not...

Do you think a megahalems (lapped) would be a sound investment? I don't care for pushing this cpu to 4.2ghz too much (though if I did have a cooler like the megahlems with its solid repute, I might change my mind entirely). One thing I'd be worried about, though, is which version of the...

I finally built an i7 930 machine and have been trying my hand at overclocking this beast for the past week or so. It took me forever to find the right amount of voltage to get it stable, but I don't think it's right. Here's what I've got so far. It's stable at 16 hours of Prime95 blend...

AnandTech Members, I queried the forums about prospective components as well as pricing about a month ago, and the time has come to begin the ordering/building process. I return home in 3 days and I’ve already begun to order parts online. Everything should be, in theory, sitting in my...

Got a good chuckle out of this one. I see what you did there.

You can go low-fi with most of your other components, but an SSD would play a crucial part in your editing/encoding machine. You don't need to fork over so much cash for the rest unless you want to be gaming all the time.

No, you're right. Taking whey and casein simultaneously isn't as good as taking either separately. Have a little more confidence with your suggestions! Taking whey immediately before/after workouts is optimal. Just as your suggestion states: you're supposed to consume casein protein before...

Does it not seem strange to anyone that humans are the only mammals on this planet that drink milk after suckling ends? Just sayin'...

So that's what those runners are doing... I've seen them around and I always thought that they looked like birds attempting to run... head bobbing back and forth. If it reduces the level of stress on your joints then I won't judge anymore. A man reformed!

True. One downside, though. Black tea tends to give you kidney stones. I know of 3 relatives of mine who had kidney stones. The doctors asked them if they'd been drinking above-average amounts of black tea--they all had. All three of the doctors recommended that they switch to green tea. Tread...

The CM Hyper 212 is great. If you want another option, the CoGage 120 TRUE is also an amazing choice. Here.
