    Looking for some case/cooling opinions

    Hey all, I'm planning a new build, and I was looking for some opinions on what case and CPU cooler I should get. Here's what I'm already planning on getting: CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VI Formula Memory: G.SKILL TridentX Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2400...

    GPU Recommendations

    After a very long time, I've decided to upgrade my system to Sandy Bridge, coming from an Athlon 64 4000+. My monitor is a Dell U2410, which is a 24" IPS monitor running @ 1920x1200. The rest of my system will be based around the 2600K, so which video card would allow me to run any game at...

    Recommendations needed for WIRED router

    I am looking for a new Wired router, as well as a DSL modem. If there is a good combination router/modem, I'd love to know, though I suspect I might be better off with two separate pieces of hardware. I'm currently using my PC as a router, as my old combination unit broke. I want to replace...

    Driver confusion...

    Wow, I'm not sure what to make of the situation today with drivers... Does anyone use a 7900GT with Windows XP 32bit? I'm wondering what would be the best drivers to use. I'm currently using 84.21. I've noticed a long time back that the 90 series drivers at the time seemed to have a few...

    Streaming media

    Alright, I'm hoping someone can help me with a project I'm working on in my spare time. The purpose is to stream media over the network (not internet), through a webpage. I want people to be able to click the links and have the video stream to their PC, as opposed to them downloading the...

    Hard drive makes random clicking noise while idle

    EDIT: Sorry, I made the first thread in the wrong forum, this is the thread I wish to keep. First of all, I did a search, but I believe this issue is a bit different than what I saw in other threads. Now onto the problem: Less than a year ago I bought two Seagate Barracudas (7200.9)...

    Recommendations for Sound Card Needed

    First, the problem: My current audio is the onboard Realtek ALC850, and this has given me problems ever since I've had this motherboard months ago. Games tend to crash, and the problem goes away after disabling sound... It's also using up a bit more CPU than I'd like.. I've tried various...

    Processor Upgrade Question

    Alright, I currently own an AMD 64 4000+. It's the 130mm model, so it does run a bit hot but it's very fast. I believe the equivalent dual core processor would be an AMD 64 4800+ or Opteron 180 - which are prohibitively priced for me. Would the move to dual core benefit me much, or is my...

    Mass Storage Recommendations

    Thread title changed Well, I don't really know much about tape drives. I'm looking for a tape storage system that has large capacity (50GB+ per tape if possible) thats relatively cheap. Speed is unimportant to me, this is purely for storage. I don't plan on viewing any matieral off the...

    Voltage seems low on default settings

    Hello, let me ask you if this seems odd... My processor is AMD 64 4000+ (130nm version) Model CG AMD reports the stock voltage should be 1.50V and clockspeed at 2,400Mhz. Well, CPU-Z reports the chip running at 2,411Mhz and the voltage is what worries me... it says 1.45 - 1.48V. What can...

    Audio Question

    I have a question for people that know about audio encoding and listening. Suppose you have a Stereo source, and you want to play it on your 5.1 surround sound system. This isn't really for music. I like being surrounded by sound rather than have most of my speakers going to waste, so don't...

    Can a mod possibly delete my posts in...

    It's in the video forum... my posts weren't helping, so is it possible for a mod to remove them altogether?
