    IP35-e (BIOS 18) with an e7400, no multiplier?

    So upgraded to an e7400 today, and had to flash my Abit IP35-e to BIOS 18 to get it to recognize my chip, and now I can't find the multiplier in the Soft Menu. It seems to be stuck on 10.5, although if I put the FSB at, say, 400, it will tell me the estimated clock is 4.0 (10x), but then if I...

    Computer Stalls or Blue Screens w/in 5 minutes, even in BIOS

    So my computer I built about 8 months ago has started to blue screen and/or freeze alot (around every 3 hours, but more frequently lately) over the last 2 weeks, with messages such as IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, which I know is a driver problem. However, today, I turn on my computer for the first...

    Will the HR-05 SLI fit on a DS3?

    What the topic says, I have a non-SLI board, but I can't use the normal HR-05 for my northbridge because of my ultra-120. I think I read somewhere that the SLI version would work and allow me to put a 80mm fan on the cooler facing away from the CPU as well, but any documentation I can find...

    PSU DoA?

    I am helping my brother build his new computer, and we finally put it all together. However, when we tried to turn it on, as soon as we flipped the swtich on the back of the PSU (before the computer was turned on or anything) the PSU would let out this very high pitched whine. Also, nothing...

    7600GT VGA cooler compatibility

    The stock cooler sucks on my eVGA 7600GT, it's the only loud thing in my system. I'm looking at getting a VGA cooler, but 95% of them don't mention the 7600 series in the compatibility list, even if it says it is compatible with all nVidia cards. Example...

    How long will my card last?

    I have a eVGA 7600GT, which I have overclocked to 651/1548. I realize this is a huge OC, but the card seems stable up to around 680/1560 for me, and when I back it down to my current settings the card never goes above 78C, even in 3dmark06. Is this acceptable? I have heard GFX cards can die...

    My Computer Won't Boot!

    My computer has a mild overclock, but it is completely stable according to every test you are supposed to test with. I have not messed with the settings in the past 3 days, and it has always worked, however when I tried to turn it on this morning it would not come on. When I pressed the power...

    Strange Overclocking Results

    Ok, so I am trying to test my RAM at the moment to see it's threshold, and I am getting some very weird results with my tests. I am using Patriot PC6400 and am currently running them at DDR 990 @ 5-5-5-15 with 2.3v and a 3.00 timing multiplier on the FSB. I have an e4300, which is running...

    Scythe Ninja Rev B Plus + P180b

    I am about to install the Ninja when my paste arrives and was wondering which direction to mount the side fan on the HS. If it fits, I assume pointing the fan up or back towards either case fan would be optimal, for the push-pull air effect. But it looks like it'd be a tight fit. Does anyone...

    Will this overclock work?

    I have finally built and ordered my new computer, and have never overclocked before, but I want to set an achievable goal for my system before it comes and stop once it is reached, instead of test the limits for my maximum output(I'm scared I'll break something). I. My System Motherboard...

    Any way to convert .m4v to something watchable?

    My ultimate goal would be to burn these to a DVD, so first I need them in an acceptable format. Does anyone know any free/trial software that I could use to get these in an acceptable file type? I can't find anything. Thanks!

    $250 - 300 bucks for HDs

    So yeah I have that much set aside for the comp I'm trying to build and was looking at different combinations. It will be mainly a gaming rig with a decent amount of storage as well. I was thinking about one of each of these: WD Raptor 74GB ($140) WD Caviar SE16 250GB...

    RAID?

    I have two WD 120GB EIDE ATA 100 HD's raided together (raid 0) with SATA, and converters coming off them so they will go in the SATA ports of my mobo. I didn't set up my raid, but my case won't close right with these adapters on them so I am trying to change the set up. I saw at BB they have...

    Is this possible?

    Currently, I have 2 WD 120 GB HD's in RAID 0 with each other in my case. I stupidly bought a case with the hard drive bays sticking sideways, so with the raid thing clamped on the hard drive my case won't even close properly (I'm probably gonna cut the window in the meantime) Both of the HD's...

    Please help!

    Ok here's the deal. I get my computer, notice it's running at around 50 degrees celcius under heavy load, order arctic silver 3 and a slk-800u to upgrade from my stock heatsink. So it comes in, I'm kinda in a rush, leaving for college in 2 days and all, so I attempt to do it myself just using...

    Anyone Found Good DVD Burning Freeware?

    I haven't been able to find much good software for burning DVD's, there is DVD X Copy Xpress and Nero, but I'd rather not pay if I can get something almost as good for free. Mainly though, I want to be able to burn DVD's onto 1 disc, it doesnt need to have the menu or anything, just the movie...
