NB, HT link, and ram all at stock. Just wanted to make sure my CPU was stable at 3.8GHz before I push it more. Will probably try to get it to 4.2GHz. Max voltage I want to mess with on air cooling is 1.5v, but my mobo is a budget board and has a little vdrop, so when the Crosshair IV or MSI's...
Well I am thinking about getting into watercooling and have been looking around at prices of all the hardware.
There is a Koolance Exos-AL for sale locally on craigslist and I just wanted to get everyone's opinions on it as a beginners WC setup. I will be looking at other waterblocks of...
Okay, so I did something stupid (I guess). After updating vista my computer hung up on the stupid "step 3 of 3 configuring updates" screen for around 5 minutes (it showed 100%). So I held down the power button to turn it off and restart it. When I go to restart it, the PC turns on for a couple...
So I have a Bad Axe 1 motherboard.
I have a cable hooked up to the optical audio out and I am running it to my Onkyo 805 receiver because the Bad Axe is in my HTPC. There is a problem though, there is no audio output when I connect the optical out from my computer to my receiver.
I am not...
Well I wanted a 15.4" notebook that was light and had plenty of power just in case I ever needed that much power.
I have a desktop that runs all my games and most other power intense stuff. I would have gone with the Macbook, but I don't like small screens.
I had a Sony S-series that was...
Here is my setup:
Silverstone GD01-MX HTPC case
E6300 w/ XP-120 and 120mm Yate Loon (blowing toward mobo)
2x7600GT's stock coolers
Ultra 500W PSU (120mm fan facing toward the side of the case)
I have two intake fans near the front of the case (in front of the hard drives). There are a...
New question.
Should I buy the Powercolor X1950 Pro 512MB for $270 or get a X1900XTX for $270? This might sound like an easy decision, but I am new to ATI.
This is my previous question.
Newegg has these two cards.
Powercolor...
Okay so I finally got my HTPC up and running. I am running an E6300, 2GB G.Skill PC6400, and 2x 7600GT's. I have it all on an Intel Bad Axe (rev 304) mobo (with hacked drivers of course).
I just ran 3DMark06 to see how it was all running. My final score was 5338.
So how is that for this...

Take a look at the link and let me know if I should pull the trigger on this PSU. I can get it for $60 (not $140 like retail).
I am thinking about replacing the passive northbridge cooler on the Bad Axe because it is do tall. However, it is also a rectangle shape which is weird because aren't most chips square.
I have tried to search around the net and I haven't seen anyone that has replaced the passive cooler. I...
For everyone looking for a killer PSU this is it. Rated by silentpcreview.com as the best gaming/silent PSU there is.
Check out the review here
Here is the Buy.com link
Last time I checked buy.com was almost out of these babies. I wish they had the 620W version too, but 520W is more...
Okay I feel like an idiot.
I posted on the FS forum that I was looking to trade one of my 7600GT's (Leadtek PX7600GT to be exact) for a different 7600GT (eVGA 7600GT KO).
I just got a great deal on the eVGA card and I want to do SLI. Someone politely told me that I don't have to have...
I have a silverstone LC03v case.
See the link for an airflow diagram of my case: http://www.systemcooling.com/sst_lc03v-06.html
I have two 60mm rear fans (exhaust) and one 80mm front fan (intake). As you can see, the CPU and heatsink sit right in front of the exhaust fans. I have an Intel...

Just bought a combo deal off eBay. A little suprised at the price I got on it.
The package included the following:
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
- Intel DG965WH motherboard
- Windows Vista RC1 (seller will ship the final release of Vista Ultimate when it comes out)
After looking in what...
I just bought the Silverstone LC03 HTPC case and I am going to be building my own rig.
I also just purchased an eVGA 7900GT KO w/ Zalman cooler. I want a solid motherboard that will allow me to run a quiet, efficient system. I would like to maybe have an SLI board but that is not a...
