    What would you name your computer support/repair company?

    Yes - I think they are a rip off and no I'm not going to charge 5 per incident. I think there is plently of room in the market for computer repair services. How many car mechanics are in your town? Or dish washer repair men? I'm not going to change the world here - just start a small business to...

    What would you name your computer support/repair company?

    While I'd love to do that... I'm not sure if its the best idea! :thumbsdown: I mean - most people who use GeekSquad are idiots but I can't call people who are going to give me money idiots... atleast to their face.

    Is it possible to own a legitimate business but be complete anonymous?

    As said, I'm sure 500$/hr at a lawyer can make this happen. Or maybe you can just get everything in someone else's name?

    Is it really necessary to post non-sense like that? Nobody cares! So you don't watch the Sopranos, bravo!

    Sopranos

    I don't buy it. There has been a lot of Godfather allusions and imagery lately. This is entirely true. However, I think Chase was just playing with us, have us follow the Italian looking fellow into the bathroom. My theory, as posted... Didn't anyone notice the weird looking trucker with the...

    The Sopranos Season Finale!!!

    OK - ignore the Italian looking guy who wondered into the bathroom. Didn't anyone notice the weird looking trucker with the cap pulled down? He had some scars on his face? Didn't he looking vaguely familiar to anyone? Like a certain Terminator? Who had all that gambling debt to Tony and...

    Off-Site Backup Solutions

    Or can somebody perhaps point me to some high-end managed hosting solutions? I'm talking something that can offer 100% uptime with multiple redundancies and 24/7 support with onsite/offsite backups? I checked out www.rackspace.com and they seem great but I'd just like to know some other...

    Off-Site Backup Solutions

    Doing a Google search pulls up about 13 billion hits. I was wondering if the fine people here at Anandtech can help me find a viable data backup solution for my company. We have a handful of requirements; 1) Multi-platform - Linux, Windows 2) Has a client software that you can setup in...

    Help Me Setup a VPN Solution for Home

    Wow. Thanks for the best response I've ever got on these forums. Wow. I'll try that out tomorrow and see how it works out. I was using Hamachi in the mean time and it seems to the do the job pretty well but just feels kinda slow.

    New Build - Update: E6600, DS3 and OCZ 8500 are here!

    I can recommend the HR-05 (no SLI) for the NB. I have it and it works great. Just make sure you don't have any conflicts of space between the CPU cooler and the HR. An HR-05 for the SB might be a bit excessive. I really don't think it is necessary if you have proper case cooling. You should be...

    Motheboard recommendations to pair with C2D 4300

    It won't happen in any way shape or form with a DS3. Most people can't get a 4300 stable in the 375-400 region no matter what they modify. Try an ASUS board. DS3 has been very annoying for me with a 4300. Changed the ram and it is now stable but I can't push it past 375 FSB.

    E4300 OC on stock voltage?

    I'm at 375x8 on 1.4V. I can probably lower it but haven't tried.

    Which NB cooler for my DS-3 Rev 3.3??

    What exactly is gravity?

    IE space is a "fabric" of sorts that bends. I think the commonly used analogy is imagine space as a blanket and then drop a bowling ball on the blanket. That bowling ball will cause a warp in the fabric and so other things around will also conform to this warp...

    GOD DAMN IT! Help me keep my sanity! BSODs!

    Corsair 620. Forgot to mention that. Ya - I think it could be the RAM acting up. I had OCZ memory in there before which was seemingly working fine - much more stable I think. I think I might switch to another set of RAM - not sure. I'll try swapping channels and see if that helps. So far, I...

    GOD DAMN IT! Help me keep my sanity! BSODs!

    Running 2 copies of MemTest for Windows to see if that causes problems. It didn't come up with anything and I haven't yet crashed today. I have a feeling it will come sooner or later though.

    How to Oclock 4300 w/ Gigabyte 965 DS3?

    Yes that memory should be fine. FSB @ 333MHz (if you can get it stable here that is). CPU will run at 333FSB x 9multiplier = ~3GHz. Memory @ 2.00 multiplier setting = 667MHz. The DS3 bios has the 1:1 setting you want to run listed as 2.00. You'll want to check the timings that the...

    GOD DAMN IT! Help me keep my sanity! BSODs!

    Ok, unfortunately I would just return this freakin' board to the crap hole in Taiwan it came from but 15 day exchange at the local shop is up so for now, at least until exams are out of the way, I'm stuck with this board. If I really can't get it going, I will sell it and get something else...

    Corsair psu 620

    You can plug in anywhere, it doesn't matter. They don't go in a specific order or anything like that. Just pop in the ones you need to use and you are good to go. Like you assumed, the 6 prong ones are for PCI-E and the others are regular attachments. I don't think you can really overload it...

    C2D E6600 - Windows thinks 3825MHz when it's 3400MHz?

    Yup - its because of the multiplier. It seems a lot of programs report the CPU speed as if you were using the default multiplier.

    Why is my CPU making strange noises?

    Just different stuff trying to stabilize my OC - voltage, FSB, and memory settings. I'll report in if I hear the noise come back - I don't really see why it would go away after such changes anyhow.

    Best Mother board for E6600 with e-GeForce 8800 GTX

    Don't trust reviews on Newegg - they are usually BS. They may give you a general idea what to expect but nonetheless, BS. Check out the usual hardware sites if you want real reviews. Again - if you have a high-end setup and aren't really worried about cost, Badaxe is probably a good way to go...

    Why is my CPU making strange noises?

    After tweaking some settings; I haven't heard the noise yet today. However, no idea if it will come back. Any other ideas?

    Best Mother board for E6600 with e-GeForce 8800 GTX

    I would agree - go highend with Badaxe or a 680i. Just avoid the eVGA 680.

    Professional data recovery

    I really wonder how much the data recovery actually costs for them. If they are changing damn near $1200 to recover 40 gigs of files... that must be some serious profit. I wonder what kind of equipement they need for the recovery process. Anyone feel like starting up a data recovery company with...

    Why is my CPU making strange noises?

    No its a Corsair PSU in a P180. I noticed this as well; http://xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=140227 Seems the guy has the same squeak noise. Its strange - this only began to occur a couple of days ago. I hadn't noticed it before.

    Why is my CPU making strange noises?

    Well - if I remember correctly its possible for electrical components to make such noises under certain conditions when they are running at particular resonant frequencies. Basically has to do with AC theory. More detail than that - I don't want to get out my circuit engineering book and figure...

    Why is my CPU making strange noises?

    I have increased the voltage to the CPU. Is it normal that these would potentially make noise? These are the voltage regulators around the CPU right? It would make sense I suppose... but why exactly would these be making noise? Perhaps the frequency they are working at?
