I am monitoring my temps. On full load (all 4 cores and 8 threads and max memory), the temps never go over 60 degrees. edit: hmm... I just installed Asus AI Suite and it's telling me that the CPU is 58 degress idle. CoreTemp tells me that I'm at 40 degrees idle. What the hell... what such...

Hey guys, so this is my first go at the new Core i7. This is my setup: Asus P6T7 WS Supercomputer Intel Core i7 965 Corsair Dominator 6GB DDR3 (1866mhz) EVGA GTX 285 Everything seems to run ok... but when I use IntelBurnTest 2.3 to test my system - all settings are stock (aka: 'Auto') -...

I have an HTPC that currently uses an 8600GTS - but I have a spare 9600GSO (I do have a blu-ray play in the HTPC). Will it benefit me to replace the 8600GTS with the 9600GSO? Or should I just keep my HTPC as is with the 8600GTS and use the 9600GSO as a phsyx card??

cool n' quiet is disabled. i did check the cpu speed under load (while running Prime95).

So I'm not really trying to overclock the AMD 5000+. I'm just trying to increase the multiplier (I read on another site that it can easily run 14x/15x multipliers with no voltage changes). So I went ahead an increased the multiplier (stock = 13x) to 14x. Prime95 stable for hours. Increased...

I'm looking into getting a new motherboard/memory combo for my QX9650. Seeing as how DDR3 is freakin super expensive, I was going to go the DDR2 route. But I found some DDR3 1600 (9-9-9-24) on newegg for about $209 AR... which isn't TOOOO bad. So the question now is, if I don't mind...

I'm looking to build a new computer based off the Intel Yorkfield cpu and nvidia's gtx 260. I came across the hybridpower technology and found it pretty interesting... but cannot find one that supports an Intel cpu. I know that they are at odds with one another... but do you think that nvidia...

thanks for the reply. that's the first place I posted before I posted here. 69 views - no replies :(

Prior to installing ESET Smart Security on my computer, I was able to wake my computer up remotely. But after installing it, my computer will not wake up remotely (wake on lan feature). Is there a port number I need to let through? Has anyone else gotten wake on lan to work with ESET Smart...

sanity was checked before posting: 1) if I disable the memory hole setting, all is well (except for the fact that I only get 3GB usable) - that's with and without overclocking. 2) if I enable the memory hole setting, regardless of whatever BIOS/system settings I have, the system will...

I have an Asus A8R32-MVP with an Opteron 170. I had 2GB installed, but was able to find another matching 2GB set from someone on a forum for a total of 4GB (g.skill DDR500). Prior to having 4GB, my computer would go to sleep (S3) and wake up from sleep just fine. Then after installing the...

little big mind you... you can only find them at dell - even though they say 5-7 days... it's more like 2-3 months.

I put a 12" subwoofer grill on the side of my Rocketfish: side panel I am going to connect a 250mm fan to it. But I am super worried about dust. Just want to know if anyone has tried using speaker cloth as fan filters? I'm sure it'll definitely help keep the dust out, but how will that...

I found one on Yate Loon's website... but cannot find anyone that carries it. Any suggestions as to where to go to buy one?

Title says it all! I know Dell has one that they only sell with their new desktop (I tried calling their spare parts department and trying to order one of those is like pulling teeth - no one knows what the part number is!!!!) Any suggestions?
