    Optiarc DVD RW AD-7203S *PLEASE HELP*

    Why would the Sony spec site indicate that it does?

    Optiarc DVD RW AD-7203S *PLEASE HELP*

    Hi, I am currently going to try and burn DL games for myself, however, I noticed that my DVD drive does not have the DL lettering on it. Nevertheless, when I check the specs online I noticed that it is supposed to support DL burning. Can anyone confirm that my DVD burner is actually DL. I am...

    P5Q for OC?

    Firstly, is this a good board to OC with? Secondly, is the guide that is "stick-ied" at the top of this board applicable to said board (I would assume so but you never know)?

    HD 4850 vs 9800 GTX+...

    in terms of capabilities; I already have a 9800 GTX+ because I got it for like $150 (CAD), I was just wondering though.

    Overclock help...

    Anyone? My OC isn't very ambitious--I would like to change as little as possible. Thanks in advance.

    Overclock help...

    I read that but I also read the Manual for the P5Q and it states that I could just OC from the built-in tool without changing anything other than the FSB and it would adjust the rest--is this accurate?

    My PC will not recognize my video card...

    it's rating my Windows Experience at 1.0 with a 9800 GTX+ at 1.0 (graphics experience). I updated all the drivers and it shows up in device manager but it seems like it is not recognized as it should be. Any ideas?

    Overclock help...

    How should I go about OC'ing an E6750 on an ASUS P5Q mobo with (2 x 2 GB) of DDR2 PC2-6400 RAM (Kingston)? I have a Zalman CPU fan and a 600 W CoolerMaster power supply. I have never done this before and I saw that the P5Q has OC'ing utilities built into it; should I use them? What exactly do...

    Went with the 9800 GTX+ simply because it was roughly $30 cheaper than the 4850. I got a super special because I also bought a HSF and a USB HS+M.

    Was going to overclock but...

    Temps are a solid 67C while running orthos and surfing the net--I'm about to confirm the pickup of an eVGA 9800 GTX+ and a plantronics headset (is this a better choice than an ATI HD4850 for $10 more?)

    Was going to overclock but...

    running orthos and on the net at the same time and temp under 100% load is 64C I did not fully clean it either--OC time?

    Was going to overclock but...

    Okay--I just cleaned the fan with Q-Tips (keep in mind I will clean it more thoroughly tomorrow at a normal human hour) and the temp went down by like 12-15C. It's at like 40C now and maybe 55C under load. Can I OC now?

    Was going to overclock but...

    When using SpeedFan--my system is running at 30C idle and 40C load--my CPU's themselves are at 55C idle and 75C load. It's weird right? The reason I was going to upgrade my vid card (8600 gt) and OC is because my HL2 keeps crapping out (more specifically TF2--in heated battle, it doesn't...

    Was going to overclock but...

    my CPU temp is consistent 30C with no load and 40C with a 80-90 % load. My CPU's themselves are at 50-55C with no load and 75C with 80-90 % load. My mainboard is an Asus P5K. Should I OC under these conditions? My ram is: 2x OCZ2G8001G (DDR2) BTW. Oh, and will be getting either a...

    Best video card...

    for under $150. I have a PCi-Express P5KPL-VM mainboard. I'm looking at the following cards (I currently have an 8600 gt): (1) EVGA e-GeForce 9600GT 512MB PCI-Express Video Card (this one's $100). (2) BFG GeForce 8800 GT 512MB PCIe Video Card (this one's $100). (3) EVGA GeForce...
