    Thanks for the response. I am currently running Vista Ultimate 32-bit on a Wireless N Home Network. I used the computer less than 12 hours ago and it worked perfectly. (I was actually thinking that all my problems were gone.) I checked the time in the BIOS and it is correct (+/- 5 min)...

    So I finally got all my stuff today and I'm puttin' it all together (i've got pictures) but I have a problem. The Power LED front panel header is 3pin (2 wires with blank in between) and the EVGA X58 has a 2pin Power LED connecter. Is there a quick fix for this?

    New Gaming Computer

    i noticed Quietpc.com has the Noctua and Thermalright, for about $70 (what is the shipping?) I really want to spend about $50 on the CPU fan. +$10 is ok.. but +$20 is a little too much. (Someone gave me $50 to spend for Christmas and they want it shipped to them.)Does anyone know if i could...

    New Gaming Computer

    Ok, I think i will get my power supply tonight. I read user reviews about the lengths and they said they were pretty short for larger case designs like the P182. So, I think I will get a 1ft extension cable for both the 24pin ATX connecter and the 8 Pin cpu connecter ($8 total). Also, does...

    I have had the same computer for 3 years and havent upgraded anything. I replaced a PSU because it broke but thats it. I may upgrade the monitor, but probably nothing else. Also, I never really use my speakers i just use my headset, thats why i haven't upgraded them. I'm in a very awkward...

    Missing AA number on Intel Atom 330 motherboard

    Hello, I recently purchased an Mini-itx Intel Atom 330 motherboard (D945GCLF2). I put it all together with some difficulty (So small!!!). I booted up just fine and installed XP. It runs great. About a week later, the trouble began. I now receive a "The AA number has not been...

    New Computer

    Ok, I'll go with the Nirvana. I was debating about that anyway. I'd prefer the Gigabyte since I'm not overclocking and I need Firewire for my HDV camcorder. I know I could add a card for firewire but built in is easy and I love the stability and reliability of the Gigabyte. I looked...

    New Computer

    I did some more research and to get a X38/X48 motherboard that fits my requirements, it would be about $230 which isn't too bad. I think I will change the motherboard to this... GIGABYTE GA-X48-DS4. (In my earlier thread [sorry] I had chosen a X38 Gigabyte DS4, they seem the best quality...

    New Computer

    I did have a post about this before but I decided to wait for the next gen of graphics to come out. So I think I will be building this week. Then this subject is gone for good. Newegg fixed the price on the oem e8500 so I am going with the e8400. I dont think I'm going to get a sound card...

    New Computer

    I looked into what you said. I think the e8500 is probably better since its oem and therefore $50 off retail. Sorry for bad grammar I'm typeing this reply on my iPod Touch since computer is off. It only like $40 more than the e8400. Also, I searched motherboards with three criteria. 1. P45 2...

    High Temperatures

    Wow. I should have thought of that. I took it out and looked through its window and the heatsink was just filled with dust. I blew out the dust and now its much lower. 10 minutes of Stress testing got it to 77C (GPU) and ~73C (7800GT). Thanks! :D:o

    High Temperatures

    Ok - I've read that some people get about 45C idle and 65C load. I just ran the Video Card Stability Test and watched as every time Speedfan refreshed the temperature went up a degree or two. After a one 1 minute 30 seconds it had reached 90C and I decided I was pushing my luck so I stopped...

    High Temperatures

    I have a XFX 7800GT which I bought about 2 and a half years ago. I recently started SpeedFan after my computer had been on, idling, for a while and I noticed that I had a few "Fire" icons. My 7800GT was idling at about 60C. Also, my harddrive is idling at over 51C. However, I think that the...

    Personally, I like the P182, and I like the power supply. But, The case is almost too big. I currently have a Cosmos at home, and it's about the same dimensions as the P182. For her space, a case like the Cosmos would be too big. The p182 is a few inches smaller on all sides, but does it...
