    Asus Commando + 7950GX2

    Hey, i just have a quick questinig regarding the Asus Commando motherboard and the nVidia 7950GX2. I read on some review site, cant remember which one, that the Commando is quite cramped around the PCI-Express slots. They mentioned (more like a question) if the 7950GX2 would fit or not...

    Should you turn PCs off now?

    Sweden: Electricity is not a matter of costs, rather a matter of philosophy. Do you need to have the computer turned on 24/7? If you don't, leave it off when you're away for a long time. (Sure, you can take a ****** or perhaps have a sandwich without shutting it off :>) Besides, i think it...

    Is my 7950GX2 dead?

    I tried to ONLY power up the graphics cards with that PSU.. I used the converter then hotwired the PSU... Should 360 watt with 17A on each 12-volt rail be enough? I Know that people recommend about 40A from two rails.. Is there also a difference in voltage between modern PSU's and the old...

    Is my 7950GX2 dead?

    The thing is i bought the card used.. The seller did state that the card was actually not even opened, which it very well could have been not, except for the goo on the back of the PCB.. I haven't tried the card since i havent bought the rest of my setup yet.. And now i feel like i've been...

    Is my 7950GX2 dead?

    Here's the thing, i bought a used (well, supposed to be not opened) 7950GX2 and everything seemed just about new. The PCB is in absolute mint condition, except i noticed something weird looking at one end of the upper card. To me it looked like something smeared and dried, like some kind of...

    please knock some sense into my lil brother

    That's one messed up situation.. Seems almost like bruce wants your brother to spend his money on crappy stuff... Make your bro' go and return everything possible, if still possible.. Build him a semi-budget Core 2 Duo for the same amount of money and he'll love you forever :) And yeah...

    Need advice choosing parts..

    Don't really know if i will be doing a lot of overclocking.. I mean, the E6400 is just a mere $30 up from the E6300. Will the E6400 running at let's say 2.5GHz be able to provide the 7950GX2 with enough power without causing a bottleneck? Worth to mention is also that i have a 2x120 radiator...

    Need advice choosing a case.

    That silverstone looked real neat! The only thing is that i cant figure out where the radiator would go.. And OH MY GOD, That Chenming case was GNARLY AS HELL, and i mean that in a good way. Think i never seen a bigger case before. Quite too big, i must say.

    Need advice choosing a case.

    Hi there.. I really could use some advice with selecting a new case for my next rig. I have some criteria; It should be spacious, enough to fit a watercooling system with margin It also should have 120mm fan options rather than 80/90. And oh yeah, i want it to be quite "sturdy" to avoid...

    Antarcica on Socket 775 i975X?

    Hi BassBomb, Im talking about both, really... On all the motherboards I've had a closer look at, it seems like there is too much capacitors/transistors around the left side and the upper side of the CPU-socket. This makes me very disturbed since I'm going with the Conroe as soon as It's...
