    New to the router world, some security questions...

    So, just got my router up and running and have 2 desktops connected to the web thru it (netgear RP614v3). I play WoW and opened up the ports (port forwarding) for the Updater...does that compromise my security? Also, all I did, essentially, is change the password to my router...what other...

    Overclocking FX-55

    I was a bit upset yesterday..... I received my shipment from newegg. I ordered an asus extreme 6800GT card. I got the box. I already had one and this was the second for my SLI setup. I looked at the card and it looked drastically different. I tried to set it up in SLI and didn't work...

    Overclocking FX-55

    Well... I wanted to use 2 drives in mirror to install the OS and Apps on... I was thinking of setting up a raid 5 set across 3 or 4 drives to install my games on, store my pics, mp3s, file downloads, etc.. So, that's a range of 900GB-1,200GB usable disk space whether or not I use a 3 or 4...

    Overclocking FX-55

    What about the xp-90? I've read about the 120 and it's a tight fit and I don't feel too comfortable about that. I already have 2 of those drives you're talking about. I want another 4.

    Overclocking FX-55

    I'm not quite done with it. After I finish sleeving the power cables with UV sleeving, I will look for some UV lighting.. I do want to pick up 4 more 300GB hard drives. As to why OC it? Why not? I'm only looking for some modest gains, and not the most possible. Oh, I'll be posting some...

    Overclocking FX-55

    I'm using Enermax's Noisetake 600w Power Supply.. I've been running the cpuz program and what I'm setting in the bios for cpu voltage and what I'm seeing in the program are different. Particularly the program is display a lower voltage than what's set in the bios. So, what should I be using...

    Overclocking FX-55

    I have the FX-55.. How high a voltage should I safely go? I've been watching the temps. Also, the voltage I'm setting in the bios is different that what's showing up in CPUz.. I've already found out how high my HTT can go. I'm currently trying to figure out out how high the proc can go...

    I've taken some pictures of the components already. I haven't taken any with it in the case yet.. I'll be taking some more after I do the sleeving. I'll need to post these after I'm finished.. Right now my computer room is a big mess with boxes and trash all over... I need to throw some of...

    Best bang for buck on computer farm

    Sad thing is I really am not.. I heard there was this company which was hosting servers there for businesses and charging them a monthly fee to have it there... And the reason why they choose Alaska was for the savings in the cooling.

    Some seti times for my new P4 3ghz @ 3.4ghz w/ 2 megs cache

    I'm not too sure.... I started running seti last night to do a base test. Everything is at base settings. I started at 10pm and when I check things at 6:30, at the rate it's going, it's going to best my P4 3Ghz with HT on and only 1 wu is being processed at a time. I still need to install...

    You don't live in Alaska do you?? There are some datacenters that move up there just to save on cooling costs.... Imagine in the winter, you pratically don't need to cool.....
