I've been looking for a set of high quality headphones to use with my PC lately. I definitely want 5.1 audio; I can't stand dropping down to two speakers for gaming after using my Altec Lansing surround system. Anyways, as far as I can tell, there are two ways of getting surround sound on...
A few months ago I bought this video card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814135164 and I want to replace its heatsink/fan with a quieter one that will hopefully last longer than the stock one. I've had bad experiences with VGA coolers in the past (one died on me, and...
With the help of WCPUID and some other forums, I discovered the following.
My System Clock is set at 200; WCPUID records 199.97, so it's what it's supposed to be.
My FSB should be 800 MHz; WCPUID records 799.88, so that's okay too.
My MULTIPLIER should be locked at 17, according to a member...
I recently bought this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819116177 - for my Asus P4P800 motherboard. As you can see, it's a 3.4 GHz processor, Prescott core, Socket 478, 1 MB L2 cache, with 800 MHz FSB. According to...
I probably should've clarified my "never buy a gainward again" statement. This isn't the only problem I've had with Gainward. When I bought the card the first time, it died completely the same night I installed it - nothing but horizontal lines and random colors. The store I bought it from...
I was poking around in my case today, and I discovered that the fan on my nVidia GeForce 5900 no longer works. The result: when idling, I get around 93-94 degrees Celsius or higher. I think I got around 46 degrees back when the fan worked.
So here's my questions.
First of all: The driver...
Well, the current drive is a PATA by Western Digital, and it is the *loudest* thing in my case by far. It's making that constant whine noise described by lobadobadingdong and Tiamat (the access noise isn't a problem), though I can't remember if it was always like that or a recent development...
Wonderful... sounds like I'll be needing a new hard drive then.
And, holy crap... I just checked Antec's site for that 3000B, and it's dirt cheap right now. $77.28 with shipping included.
Also, I couldn't find it on Newegg's site...
So Seagate and Samsung are the best ways to go for...
Thanks for the recommendations, guys.
Now, is there anything specific I can do to reduce hard drive noise? Other than not choosing aluminum, as Nessism suggested, what can I do to specifically drop that? Will switching from my cheap no-name $50 case to one of these recommendations drop that...
I've been browsing around the internet for awhile now, and I can't seem to find any cases that suit my needs properly. So, I have a question for you all: is there a case that has these features, or something close to it, preferably at $150 or less?
I'm looking for a case that's sturdy and...
