    End Power Supply Myths!

    Everyone has an opinion about power supplies, yet I have known very few signs that clearly show that a power supply is malfunctioning or not putting out enough juice. The only confirmed power supply deaths or inadequacies can be described in a few short examples: 1. Something in the system...

    *Updated* - got 10148 with semi-overclock - 3dmark 2006 score for 8800GTS 320 - 4100???

    So here's the deal. It was the overclocking. Apparently, something gets real sensitive about CPU/Memory overclocking. I couldn't isolate the exact setting but I'll tell you all what I ended up with which still permitted the "faster" speed. I worked up bit by bit until it didn't want to...

    NEC Multisync 20WMGX2 - $479 after $50 MIR @ SoCal Fry's

    Link to Fry's Product Page I guess it's available online too. I only wish this deal had been around three weeks ago when I got my 22" Samsung 226BW (which I'm quite fond of). In case you aren't familiar with this specific monitor - go no further than our own LCD buyer's guide (under...

    Warnings about LG L226WT quality - YMMV

    I posted this in keysplayr2003's thread about his L226WT purchase and I thought it was important enough to merit its own topic. I may have a defective panel and I'm considering going back to best buy to get a replacement tomorrow. If I do, I'll certainly update this thread with the results...

    Anti-California attitude?

    I guess maybe in being from California, I'm always confused why everyone is so anti-California or pro-california-criticism. I've always found it to be a beautiful state full of diversity of all types. I'm not against or for any other specific state or country, but I'm confused as to why...

    Made my running goal today!

    My goal was for the end of March to get to my former shape - from two years ago - I did it 7 days early. 13:57! It feels great. Now - I think I should set myself a goal to see if I can do it once per month to make sure I keep up the running condition. It's nice to be 26 and in the best...

    After reading Viper GTS's post from earlier today about having to reinstall windows 98 on a co-worker's machine, I thought it might be fun to allow everyone a place to put their most extreme repair war stories. Let me start with mine: About a year ago, I got a call from a friend...

    My Tax Law Professor is useless.

    We've been going over the same problem in class for like a half an hour and he's only making it more confusing to most of the students... Tuesday and Thursday nights are really getting old. I think it's time to be done with law school. Two more months!

    Viewsonic VP930b 19" LCD review

    I recently found myself in the market for a new monitor after having enjoyed my LG Studioworks 995E for the last 6 years. One day about a month ago, it started flickering and then, 3 days later, it was no more. I can't complain it was a wonderful monitor throughout its whole life. But at that...

    DFI - NF4 UT-D Normal upper HTT Limit?

    I've tried multipliers as low as 4.0x up to 9.0x and I can't get past 288 for my HTT. I also have been cutting my memory multiplier to 1/2. I've heard people talking about 330! Also, I've been able to get my CPU stable to about 2.57 ghz and memory to anything under 200 mhz. Any ideas about...

    Memory Overclocking Assistance - OCZ VX on a DFI Nf4

    I'll be getting my Winchester 3200 and Leadtek GT6600 tomorrow for my DFI board. I've got a gig of OCZ VX waiting to be overclocked. I know the board can go up to 4.0v with the 'special' jumper, but I'm pretty sure the memory would start smoking with that much voltage. As it stands, I have...

    Impatient with Venice - time to buy a Winchester

    Edit: I bought a 3200 from ZZF. $190 shipped. Not bad. I'll post my results once I get my system up and running. Okay, that's it. I've waited for 3 weeks for my CPU now and today it seems like Venice is now not going to be available... again. It could be up to 3-4 weeks before we can...

    New "enthusiast" PCIe Video Card Help

    Here's my goal: a year from now buy a nice 20-21" LCD and play games at native resolution on it (probably 1600x1200). I'll get a Dual Core AMD CPU sometime next year (for my new DFI Nforce4). And here comes the choice: buy a single video card that can handle it now or buy a cheaper card...
