I see. I always dread using drivers from windows update. I suppose I'll just have to try it. This machine is capable of running Windows 7 decently? Maybe with aero off.

Hi. I recently received a computer I plan to fix by wiping it. Right now I have it loaded and working well with Windows XP. However, I would like to put Windows 7 on if possible (This was a flea market machine with all sorts of junk, incorrect drivers and malware loaded on it when the person...

You are plenty fine with that PSU. I would, however, look into another stick of memory; Main reason being you're not using dual channel, which is somewhat of a big thing for how little it would cost you. If it does actually ever die, there's no reason for it to take anything with it, it will...

Really hope I don't step on my feet with this one. I think I'm going to order the combo, I don't see GPU or CPUs in the future being much more power with the way things have been going. I never plan to use SLI unless things dramatically change, nor would I ever want a dual GPU single card. The...

http://www.silentpcreview.com/news1328.html Ah, it is only $20 total off for the combo. The way they worded it "for SPCR audiences" made it sound like both of them had codes instead of just the PSU. Regardless, I'd like to pick these up if my system for sure won't overheat it. ill have my R4...

I was hoping that was the case. Anyone have further information on this? What about it possibly overheating? Being in a padded case and all with a big GPU on top of it practically.

The fractal r4 is on a combo deal with the seasonic 520w fanless platinum. SPCR has a further $20 off code. can a 520w fanless run this system? Would I be cutting corners too close? I will absolutely run my CPU overclocked on stock volts for this to happen if so. What about overheating under my...

Have a pair of HD598s, to be honest this is more of "because I haven't tried it yet" sort of thing and I have some money to throw away (not enough to put into a WC custom loop, though).

Knocked off a few choices from my list and added thoughts/reasoning for the remainder. Fractal R4s looks, Bitfenix's overall everything, P280's performance, or going off the deep end with the Solo II is where I seem to be at right now in thoughts.

@lehtv How did I miss that..? I'm on Tom's almost every day. Thanks for that. This makes the Antec 280 looks VERY attractive compared to the other cases for me. @Zap I had thought of toning my clocks down but I'm really satisfied where my hardware is at right now. Only my 2600k is OCed to...

Hi, looking for a new case to replace my Lancool K62. I want to get something a bit more on the quiet route, so I'm looking for a better balance between the two than what I have. I understand this purchase is very much a "side-grade" but I am still looking for the best I can get within realistic...
