    Scythe Ninja Plus Problem

In order to get the Ninja to mount to the mobo I had to lay the motherboard down outside of the case and physically put all...

    Coolbits and NVTweak help

    Hi, I'm having problems with coolbits and overclocking. I just built my new system last night and reformatted and reinstalled everything. On my old system coolbits worked fine and would let me manually overclock my FX5200 (so sad). Now I have a new E6600, ASRock 775Dual-VSTA, and an eVGA...

    Waiting for new Conroe mobos.

    I just order my E6600 and it should be here by Friday. Along with it I order the ASRock 775Dual-VSTA motherboard to hold me over until the new nForce 590's come out. Just curious if anyone else out there had the same idea.

    New Conroe Motherboards

    Hey guys, Does anybody know when the next line of motherboards are coming out that support Conroe? Also, I know that both the 965 and 975 support Conroe but are they going to be making any more 975 boards or are they just going to be coming out with the 965s? Thanks

    I was wondering if people are still going to be buying the Pentium D 805 after Conroe comes out. I don't know much about the 805D but it seems to me that most people don't like the 805D for one reason or another. However, I would expect a price drop from the 805D once Conroe hits. Can someone...

    I'm looking to build my own computer somewhere around the beginning to middle of September. I am willing to lay down $1,300 to $1,500 to get a new case, PSU, CPU, motherboard, GPU, and RAM. By then Conroe will be out and I'm wondering if I should go with that setup or opt for an AM2 setup. I...
