Hey folks,
As far back as my first self-built pentium 166mmx I've always upgraded every couple years. Recently I've been doing this gaming so have had the current rig for 3-4 years. the specs are:
Core i7 920 running @ 3.8ghx
4gb ddr3 ram
ATI Radeon HD5870
Gaming on Dell 30" @ 1600p...
Rift MMO has suddenly gotten boring for me and like others I am waiting for Diablo 3. I played BFBC2 extensively this year before I had enough of it. I did the same with TF2 and got tired of all the new venture catalog crap for sale every week.
So I'm looking for a twitchy like shooter...
Yo,

Some of the more common places such as Dell, Apple, etc. charge sales tax.
Anyone online sites that sell quality laptops such as lenovo thinkpad, HP eitebooks, etc without tax?
Whenever I'm in TF2 and i minimize out there is about a 10% chance i can get back in without the goddamn game crashing. And that is only if i wait literally like 5 minutes. Does anyone else experience this? It's nice to be able to tab out of a game, or if I have AIM running and a message pulls...
Hello there, I'm doing an OC with the following hardware:
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L 2.0 (Latest Bios, F9)
E8400 C0 Stepping Revision 6
Corsair H50 Water Cooling
2x1gb G.Skill DDR2 PC6400
Here are my OC settings, stable in Prime95 , OCCT, and temps are nice and low.
4.0ghz (444x9)...
Hello there I'm trying to stress test my e8400 OC with Orthos and Real Temp always shows me two cores as 40/35. They never go up or down and i believe them to be incorrect.
Any thoughts?
So I started the Rippetoe workout and have complete my first week's cycle of workouts A, B, A. I have worked out in the past and adequate food was always my bane. Until recently, I rarely ate breakfast aside from a snack around 10 or 11 in the morning. I've been getting up this week and eating...
When the Rippetoe writeup says to shoot to increase weight on your exercises at 2.5% per week, does that mean i squat the same weight for my 3 workouts, and then the following week up it by 2.5% and repeat?
Or should i be upping it 2.5% per day. I.E.

A few years back I had a stretch where I worked out 4 days a week and got stronger, but never more than 5 lbs. bigger. Being able to consume enough food has always held me back. I was naturally hungrier when I worked out, and I ate more but it still wasn't enough.
From doing some research it...
AF7 owners,
I know I have this down all the way and it just feels loose. I put the stock cooler on just to compared and the thing feels a hell of a lot tighter. Is the AF7 practically useless without an bolt through kit?
My system is:
vista 64bit
4x1gb g.skill pc6400
e2140 @ 2.8ghz
BFG 8800gt 625/900
Abit IP35-E
24" Soyo running at 1920x1200
Yeah so the refresh rate on my monitor is 60 and i usually get max fps while WoWing on max settings, but why does an older game like this dip me into 20-30fps...
I am installing 4x1gb sticks of G.Skill PC6400 and overclocking my e2140. I will not be raising the FSB past 400Mhz so I was wondering if there is any performance drawback to running 4 sticks instead of two.
Thanks in advance.
I can't seem to find a good resource out there for choosing between the two.
I'm 26 years old and setting up my first 401k account. On one hand, I have been told a Roth 401k is better for me because I'm in a lower tax bracket now. I would theoretically make more money later in my life and...
I'm looking at the HR-03 running passive and not getting a fan for it. I have an Antec 900 case to put it in and I added another 120mm Fan to the middle hard drive cage blowing right onto the video card.
Seems to me this will be sufficient but I wanted more opinions

I'm trying to build a gaming PC and the e2140 has caught my eye. I have read it can clock to 3.0Ghz rather easily. Besides the cache, what is the difference in me buying say an e6750 and overclocking to 3.0Ghz then buying the e2140 and doing the same?
My ultimate goal here is to build a...
I've been out of the hardware loop and am looking at building a gaming pc right now. I'm targeting the 8800 GT or GTS as the video card in my price range and I keep hearing that G92 is superior to G80.
What are the differences between the two? Are all 8800 GT's G92? If not, how do I know I am...
I'm using the app to cool my Dell m1710 because dell is crap and doesn't do it properly.
My question,
If I set the program to do manual fan control and then choose settings it doesn't work. If i choose automatic temp control, and then specify fan speeds and temperature thresholds, it also...
My 7900GTX in my POS Dell XPS m1710 died and I was out of warranty. I purchased a refurb'd 7900GS and installed it in the notebook. Now presentation mode won't work. I run the video out to a 24" LCD and do all of my gaming on there.
I checked Dell Quickset and made sure presentation mode is...

nvidia's web site shows drivers from july 2006 as their newest. Is that seriously all they got out for this card? i want to try something different my screen keeps wigging out and flickering playing WoW
Hello folks,
was driving to my friend's to LAN, had the computer on the front seat and i broke hard. It slid off my seat and onto the floor. I didn't think it was hard enough to jar or break anything. But now my comp is acting funny.
When i play WoW for a few minutes the comp just shuts...
He currently has his e6300 running at 2.8 but and is stable but I'd like to get the temps down some and extend the life of his cpu. What are the most popular coolers atm? He doesn't need extreme cooling for insane overclocks so i'd like to stay away from anything too noisy.
Hello everyone. I have an Asus P5B-E with an e6300 and a 1gb stick of Corsair XMS DDR2 800
I have the e6300 overclocked to 2.8 Ghz. I also have an IDE Hard drive and Cdrom on the SAME ide cable because my mobo only has one ide slot.
Now i was playing WoW today and the game crashed. I...
Is there even thermal paste on the stock hsf? i didn't think i saw any on the bottom. Anyhow this cpu is running at 400fsb and HOT. I haven't even ran it under load yet to see what temps it hits. Whats the problem here?
hi
need 2gb and doesn't need to overclock well. I bought a fx-55 multi is unlocked upwards.
pm me with ram + your price i will respond quickly.
ram is going into an asus a8n-e if you know of any compatibility probs please don't offer me your ram!
The kid won't be overclocking at all. He just browses the web and only plays games.
I was wondering how the E6300 would stack up bone stock against the FX-55. Also, since he won't be overclocking does he really need DDR2 800 RAM? If not what cheaper ram can i get for him?
