I have a Visiontek 4870 and don't want to deal with the fan mod to increase cooling/noise.
I purchased an aftermarket cooler GFX chilla from NCIX.
My question is how would they know I used an aftermarket cooler if I had to send it in for warranty repairs? I plan to run it with the stock...

I just finished upgrading my sis in law's pc and am having a PITA problem with Office 2000 and Office XP (I've tried both). Original disc were used for both of these installations (only one installed at a time). The OS is XP pro which slipstreamed with SP3.

:frown:I've been playing around with my new P35 DS4 and a Quad 6600. I wanted to use Giga's XpressRecovery2, but kept running into a "not enough space on HD" error. I played around with different partitioning of my primary HD (500gb WD) and finally came up with a setup that the program liked (2...

All this talk of the impending release of X38 and it's sli advantages has me wondering if there are any other real advantages for me over the current P35 boards out there now.
My needs:
Stability
Modest overclocking
NO sli anticipated
A need to not spend over $300 for a mobo
Ability to...
I'm contemplating getting the budget Gigabyte P35 DSR. This mobo has a 4 pin 12v header. My Corsair 620 ps has an 8 pin 12v plug. Can this be used?? I know it's possible the other way around.
:D

Saw this in Saturday's ad for Fry's:
Thermaltake Toughpower 850 modular = in store price $179-$20 rebate = $159.
I ran down and picked one up cuz less than 1 month ago I picked the 750w version from them for $179. Luckily I didn't open it and it was under 30 days ago. I haven't seen...
This is what I've got:
Asus A8N32 sli deluxe; bios 1009
Opteron 170 oc'd to 2.4 (prime stable; temps fine)
Thermalright 120 with panoflo fan
2gb (2x1gb) stick of OCZ Gold (don't remember my timings since I'm at work )
Evga 7800GT (non-oc; non-sli)
4x250gb Hitachi SATA drives (non-raid)...
Although I'll be happy with my overclocking from 2ghz to 2.6ghz if that really is my limit, I'd like to see if I'm doing something wrong (being my first real attempt at overclocking).
Here are my specs:
ASUS A8N32sli deluxe; bios 1009
Opteron 170 OCZ #OCZ5002048ELGE-K
OCZ Gold (2x 1gb)...
Looking at either a Q-pack or Antec Minuet for my case. If I settle on the Minuet and set it up vertically, do I need to a slot loading dvd drive? If so, where can I find one? I've looked at the Egg, ZZF and Mwave (my usual faves).
Thanks for your responses
I'm planning to build a SFF system for my daughter. Her desk is small and I don't want something that will take too much real estate. I'd like to use the Antec Minuet:

I'm using a couple of Asrock boards: KT400a and their sli board and I noticed that Vdimm is called Vccc(from memory). Does anyone know what their high and low settings are for Vdimm (what I assume the Vccc is)??
I recently purchased the ASROCK 939SLI32eSATA2 mobo to play around with. This is my first non Via or Nvidia based mobo so I'm used to the 4 in 1 or unified drivers packages. I haven't installed the mobo yet, but I went to the Asrock site to get the latest drivers but all I see is LAN, audio...
Would like to get one from Tank Guys, but they don't take Paypal. Also, considering Dave, but would like to hear about recent acquisitions from ZZF, Egg, Mwave and Monarch.
Thanks
New, never used Opteron 148 CABYE from Newegg.

My new computer build is driving me nutso. Intermittently my computer will just go into a rebooting loop when I shutdown. Here are my specs:
ASUS A8N32 SLI Deluxe; Bios 903 (same prob with 1009)
X2 3800 (mild oc to 2200mhz)

I recently switched from the A8N sli premium to the A8N32 sli deluxe. I did some preliminary testing using just the stock hs to make sure all components were working and everything checked out fine. However, I just installed my XP120 and discovered that the heatpipes block usage of the first...
This will be used with:
A8N sli premium
X2 3800 (also Opteron 165)
Enermax EG701 noisetaker 600w
Samsung SATA2 hard drives
Evga7800GT
I already have:
OCZ PC3200 plat rev2 512mb x 4
OCZ PC3200 plat 1gb x 4
OCZ PC3200 Gold 512mb x 2
I'm looking for more 1gb DDR that'll allow me...
I'm new to OC'ing and am still getting acquainted to the terminology. There a couple of issues that I keep wondering about:
(1). Is there a significant drop in performance when you have to use a divider to slow down your memory in order to allow a better overclock of your cpu? If cpu speed...
I'm new to oc'ing and want to get a good stepping. Based on the current supply situation, do you think I'm more likely to get a good stepping on an OEM vs a retail? 146 vs 148?
Help me, I got a twitchy trigger finger;)
I'm completely new to OC'ing. I'm using the following:
Asus A8N SLI premium (1009 bios)
X2 3800 (also have an Opteron 165)
Thermalright XP120 with panoflo fan (low speed)
OCZ 2 x 1gb PC3200 Platinum (2 5 3 2)
Evga 7800GT
Enermax EG701 noisetaker (600w)

I know that both of these chips have similar/same specs: 2.2Ghz, 1mb cache, single core.
Because of the Opteron frenzy going on, I'm contemplating getting a 148. What is the multiplier on the Opteron? The San Diego has an 11. Is it easier/better to OC with higher multipliers?
Sorry for...
I'm late to the Opteron party, but still want to jump on the wagon when/if the next(last?) shipments come out. Monarch seems to have the best price, but their salesperson told me that they'll charge your credit card before they receive/ship your cpu. How reliable are they? How fast will they...
Other than a mobo with a bios supporting X2 processors, XP patch for dual cores and dual core chipset/ graphics drivers is there anything else I need?
I've got OCZ 520 powerstreams, OCZ 3200EL platinum rev2, 7800GT video card and XP120 heatsinks.
Any special sequence to installation...
this fan will be used with a new Thermalright XP90. Since the power connector has 4 pin (actually 2 pin fan molex), won't my mobo have a problem with not having a fan "connected" to the cpu fan header?
pardon the noob question:
I have a Linksys BEFSX41 router that has a built in firewall. Is there any advantage to running this along with Zonealarm? What's the downside?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice.
I have XP pro oem with my current computer. The upgrade bug is nipping at my rear and I'm wondering if I'm truly screwed with the oem version. Can I convince MS to give a new activation code if I switch mobo, cpu, video card and/or hard drive??? When people refer to retail being able to be...
