    GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series GV-N470SO-13I

    I've been looking for a couple of cards to replace my 2 XFX GTX285's and during my dd I came across that card. Not a whole lot of info on it, aside from http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...-470,2713.html where they were able to O/C it to core clock to 800 MHz and the shader clock to 1600 MHz...

    Need laptop to fit these parameters

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834220696 It's a tad over your budget but the components are very good and Asus's laptop reliability ratings are excellent. This one could also fit your needs, at a lower price. http://www.amazon.com/N61JV-X2-16-In...pr_product_top The...

    How good is this asus gaming laptop?

    When these first came out I was debating about buying one from Newegg but they sold out within a couple of days. Now you can't find one in-stock anywhere and from what I've read their so heavily backordered no one knows when they'll be generally available. Also, due to the demand several...

    Pick between these two laptops for gaming & video encoding.

    I've never ran across the high demand that the G73 has generated but as you said "it really is one of the best deals around for a laptop." As a side benefit, this laptop is causing the other notebook manufactures to lower their prices. FYI, if you want to really drool, check out this laptop...

    Pick between these two laptops for gaming & video encoding.

    I'd get this one http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-g73jha2-order-p-2761.html?wconfigure=yes but it's turned out to be so popular that no ones got any in stock :(

    Is this a good gaming laptop?

    Due to the high demand the Egg had raised the price on that laptop a couple of times already. This is where I'd buy it http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-g73jha2-order-p-2761.html?wconfigure=yes But you can also find ~ the same deal(s) at...

    Upgrade video card?

    The recommended resolution for his monitor is 2,560 x 1,600. Something tells me that he lowered the resolution to get a fps boost but it's got to look, as you said, weird. With my 24" monitor I play games at 1920 x 1200, which is my screens recommended resolution and the games play and look...

    Upgrade video card?

    I just sold my old 9200, which had a 8800GTS, because I wanted to upgrade to a GTX 260 but discovered that the OEM Dell 325w PSU didn't have enough power to run that card. With your 3007WFP-HC monitor, the card you've got isn't sufficient to do it any sort of justice. Unfortunately the...

    i7 OC tips and advice

    Looks good to me but do you really need a 1000W PSU? The TX650, or TX750 would be more than sufficient but if you want modular the 620HX would be my #1 choice.

    How I made my HAF 932 almost totally silent

    I was reading my motherboard manual and it suggested connecting the chassis fans to the motherboard, when using multiple video cards, which I am. So I proceeded to hook up my front 230mm inlet fan, top 230mm exhaust fan and the rear 140mm exhaust fan to my motherboard, enabled the CPU and...

    i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz - Do have the best settings?

    Dane, I took a peak at the photo of the inside of your case and I know why your ambient temps are so high. Here's a pic of the inside of my case. Notice that I've tucked/moved the majority of my wires out of the way of the airflow from front to back and from top to bottom. The front fan...

    i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz - Do have the best settings?

    Thanks, I should have asked you to do this before making you run around in circles changing this and that. Go to this url http://www.legitreviews.com/article/880/11/ and take a peek at the temp charts. You're pulling 45C at idle, their pulling 31.75C, your pulling 65C at load and their...

    i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz - Do have the best settings?

    Your ambient is 11C higher than mine, which would definitely account for some of your increased temps. What case do you have and are you absolutely certain that when you mounted the two fans on your Noctua you set them up in push/pull? Let's try this little test before you do anything else...

    i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz - Do have the best settings?

    Did you set all the items that I suggested in your A1 manual mode exactly as I outlined? It's really important to have the Dram bus voltage and the QPI/DRAM core voltage within a maximum spread .5, or less. Mine are set at a .24625 spread, just to be on the safe side. If you use Riva Tuner...

    i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz - Do have the best settings?

    78C would have me just a bit concerned. Here's a look at my results: http://i581.photobucket.com/al.../3990.jpg?t=1234966079 I loaded all of my 920's 4 cores by running the Prime95 In-Place large FFTs test and my highest temp was 62C. IMO, it's not a great idea to run any o/c that's not...

    920 overclock w/Cooler Master V10

    TC, I don't have a sound meter but according to the review that Tweaktown did; 58dB idle and 67dB load. However, Harware Canucks is in the process of completing a review on this cooler and responded to a post I made in their forums regarding the sound levels by stating: "Thats...

    920 overclock w/Cooler Master V10

    TC, I think I lucked out and got a really good chip and frankly I was a little leery about being one of the first retail users of the V10; especially after reading the review that Tweaktown did. However, to say that I'm impressed with the cooling abilities of my V10's would be a mild...

    920 overclock w/Cooler Master V10

    Slow, My temps are as low as I've run across on the net with a i7 920 overclocked to almost 4 MHz. You can see how the stock cooler performs @ this url and also compare my results to those of a push/pull TRUE with stock and oc settings...

    920 overclock w/Cooler Master V10

    I'm new to overclocking but I think I might have nailed it on my 920. The temps look well in line, the spread between the CPU voltage and the DRAM bus voltage is .336 and everything appears to be stable. I'll run Prime95 overnight and see if I encounter any problems, hopefully not but one never...
