Hey guys, so this is my first go at the new Core i7. This is my setup:
Asus P6T7 WS Supercomputer
Intel Core i7 965
Corsair Dominator 6GB DDR3 (1866mhz)
EVGA GTX 285
Everything seems to run ok... but when I use IntelBurnTest 2.3 to test my system - all settings are stock (aka: 'Auto') -...
I have an HTPC that currently uses an 8600GTS - but I have a spare 9600GSO (I do have a blu-ray play in the HTPC). Will it benefit me to replace the 8600GTS with the 9600GSO?
Or should I just keep my HTPC as is with the 8600GTS and use the 9600GSO as a phsyx card??
So I'm not really trying to overclock the AMD 5000+. I'm just trying to increase the multiplier (I read on another site that it can easily run 14x/15x multipliers with no voltage changes). So I went ahead an increased the multiplier (stock = 13x) to 14x. Prime95 stable for hours. Increased...
I'm looking into getting a new motherboard/memory combo for my QX9650. Seeing as how DDR3 is freakin super expensive, I was going to go the DDR2 route. But I found some DDR3 1600 (9-9-9-24) on newegg for about $209 AR... which isn't TOOOO bad.
So the question now is, if I don't mind...
I'm looking to build a new computer based off the Intel Yorkfield cpu and nvidia's gtx 260. I came across the hybridpower technology and found it pretty interesting... but cannot find one that supports an Intel cpu. I know that they are at odds with one another... but do you think that nvidia...
Prior to installing ESET Smart Security on my computer, I was able to wake my computer up remotely. But after installing it, my computer will not wake up remotely (wake on lan feature). Is there a port number I need to let through? Has anyone else gotten wake on lan to work with ESET Smart...
I have an Asus A8R32-MVP with an Opteron 170. I had 2GB installed, but was able to find another matching 2GB set from someone on a forum for a total of 4GB (g.skill DDR500). Prior to having 4GB, my computer would go to sleep (S3) and wake up from sleep just fine. Then after installing the...
I put a 12" subwoofer grill on the side of my Rocketfish:
side panel
I am going to connect a 250mm fan to it. But I am super worried about dust. Just want to know if anyone has tried using speaker cloth as fan filters? I'm sure it'll definitely help keep the dust out, but how will that...
Title says it all! I know Dell has one that they only sell with their new desktop (I tried calling their spare parts department and trying to order one of those is like pulling teeth - no one knows what the part number is!!!!)
Any suggestions?
Are there any major differences between the X3350 and the Q9450? On paper, they look identical. If I'm planning on getting the DFI LT X38-T2R, will I notice a difference trying to overclock one over the other?
I have an evga 780i motherboard with three PCIe x16 lanes. I plan to get the Thermalright HR-03 GT vga cooler, but that thing is a monster. I have the Rocketfish case and have some cushion between the last PCIe and psu.
First question: Can 8800GTS go into any PCIe x16 slot?
Second...
For those who have the HR03 GT (Thermalright VGA cooler), how are you mounting it? From all the threads that I've read, there are two methods for this: One wraps the heatsink behind the card, while the other curves it out front. Which way is better?
So I was looking at the Antec Mini P180 and I'm liking the case... but it only supports a mATX motherboard. So I've been searching the web for one... but came up empty. Does anyone know if such a beast even exists???
I need a mATX motherboard with at least two PCIe x16 lanes and it has to...
For anyone who owns this case, I was just wondering what the depth is for the psu chamber? I heard that newer, larger psu's will not fit (at least not comfortably). Can someone give a definite answer to how much room I will have to play with if I do decide to purchase this case.
Using basic...
I have an AMD Asus A8N-VM CSM motherboard with an Opteron 170, AMD's standard HSF, and PQI 2GB (2x1GB - PQI3200-2048DB). The memory is rated at 3-3-3-8. I've gotten it to work at 2-3-2-5 without any problems.
My question is if I don't plan to overclock my processor, would changing these...
I got a hold of nVidia's PureVideo Decoder for my Asus A8N-VM CSM. I'm trying to get my OS (XP MCE) to use that decoder... but doing a dvdupgrd /detect shows that I'm using Nero's DVD decoder. I read on nVidia's website that if we have other decoders installed, there's a priority as to which...
After viewing a video from "My Video", Windows Media Center will allow you to restart, delete, done. Is there a way to remove the delete option so that we don't accidentally delete the video file?
I have MCE 2005 installed. After installing drivers for my HP OfficeJet 6100 all in one printer, I now have a folder in My Video call HP OfficeJet 6100 Series when I run Media Center. If I select the remove folder option, that folder is not there for me to remove. Is there a way to remove...
I have an A8N-VM CSM paired with a Plextor PX-716A running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. I have the lastest drivers from nvidia installed. Fresh install. I was trying to burn a DVD (I had moved this Plextor over from my older Asus A7V266 motherboard/AMD 1900+ computer). It was burning...

After searching long and hard... I came across a DVI to component video adapter from Monoprice.com:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/produ...041901&p_id=2398&seq=1&format=2&style=
It states that it works for Nvidia 6600 and 6800 series. I was wondering if there were any other types of...
Hi,
I just bought a new retail Opteron 170. When I ordered it, the SKU was: OSA170CDBOX. I just received it and see that the number underneath the AMD Opteron is: OSA170DAA6CD. But it's in a retail box and has the retail heatsink and fan. When I search for OSA170DAA6CD, I see that it's the...
