    SLI different 'Brand'? (ASUS, GALAXY, EVAG)

    I just use msi afterburner on both and it works great. When you have two cards installed, the program knows to clock them the same when you overclock them. I just left the fan control for both on auto and they stay plenty cool.

    SLI different 'Brand'? (ASUS, GALAXY, EVAG)

    I sli'd an msi gtx 460 and evga gtx 460, and as far as I can tell it's working out perfect.

    I'm having temperature issues with 2 460s in SLI

    I don't think your card should hit that kind of temperature. I have the same case with 2 gtx 460s, and the highest temp I've ever seen them get to is 70c, and that was only once on a hot day. What temp does your other card get to? I would maybe try to get the top one replaced, or maybe...

    intel ssd optimizer question

    Good point. I guess I might as well just in case windows 7 trim missed something since it works so fast anyway.

    intel ssd optimizer question

    That link says the Intel ssd Toolbox is not required if you have windows 7 and are using the Microsoft AHCI driver. I had AHCI turned on in my bios when i installed windows 7 on my ssd, so would that mean I have the microsoft AHCI driver?

    intel ssd optimizer question

    From what I've read, intel ssd optimizer basically just performs TRIM on your ssd on a schedule. If I'm using windows 7, is it unnescessary to schedule it since windows 7 already has an automatic TRIM?

    ssd optimization question

    I'll be getting a 120 gb intel 320 ssd in a couple days from newegg, and I just wanted to make sure I set it up correctly the first time so I won't have to do it again. I'll be starting fresh with Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate. I will also have a 1 tb regular hard drive. I was thinking I would...

    Newegg Business??

    There is an ssd on sale on Newegg Business that I'd like to buy, but I think I have to sign up on Newegg Business to do it. Does it matter that I don't own a business or anything?

    c300 or m4 128gb?

    Wow thanks for the info. I've never used newegg business before. Is there any difference ordering from them compared to the regular newegg? Also would still like to know if c300s are 34nm or 25nm if anyone knows.

    c300 or m4 128gb?

    Yeah looks pretty good. I think it's down to the c300 or the intel 320 for me. Anyone know if the c300 was ever switched to 25nm or is it still 34nm? If it's still 34nm, that might put it over the top.

    c300 or m4 128gb?

    I dont know much about ssds, but I've read some crazy bad things about vertex 2s. I'm going to stay away from a sandforce controller if i can. And the intels are reliable, but I'd rather take my chances with the cheaper and larger crucials. Although after just looking at Newegg, the intel 320...

    c300 or m4 128gb?

    I have a sata II motherboard and I mostly use my comp for gaming. Would I benefit more from a c300 128gb ssd or a m4 128gb ssd? They seem to be about $20 apart, with the c300 being the cheaper. I've heard positive things about both compared to the other, but I don't know enough about ssds to...

    microcenter ssd?

    Anyone know anything about the newest 64gb sandforce microcenter branded ssd? Seems like a good price for the performance. Also another question. Would puting two ssds in raid 0 make it so you can use the storage size of both combined? Like two 64gb drives in raid 0 being 128gb total storage...

    Dual Graphics card build?

    I'm not saying intel boards have any problem with crossfire. I'm saying that I've read that amd boards have problems with sli, or that their sli boards aren't as high quality as their crossfire boards. It could be wrong though, I don't know.

    Athlon II to Phenom II

    I just recently changed from a athlon II x4 635 to a phenom II 955 BE. I was able to sell my athlon on ebay for about $70, so it wasn't really a bad deal for me, but if I had it to do over again, I'd possibly not do it. There's a difference between the athlon and phenom, and you'll be able to...

    Good fan controller?

    Oh wow, it didn't look like anyone was going to respond to my post, so I ended up just buying a controller last night. I got the sunbeam rheobus extreme since the regular one is deactivated at newegg. Anyone know if it comes with fan splitters?

    How important is OCing the NB frequency?

    From what I understand, which isn't a whole lot, raising the cpu/nb frequency helps the computer take better advantage of your cpu overclock. Apparently, the cpu/nb is actually your processors memory controller. If you raise it, you won't have to oc your dram, but you may have to raise the...
