    Black holes

    whats weird is... ever think about what the smallest particle known is and the largest is? it seems all relative... like... infinite smallness can only exist with infinite largeness which..... means.... "inifity" itself can only exist with.... infinite nothingness which is a contradictory...

    So what video card do I want to buy?

    both 640 and 320 employ a 320mb memory interface. Same 96 streams. But if youre looking at high AA and anisotropic filtering on the DX10 levels... you WILL notice a difference with the 640. 320 is FINE today... but the 640 is currently at a good price anyways which will carry you further. BUT...

    So what video card do I want to buy?

    its july and all prices should drop soon... the gtx should be in the midrange soon.... and the 640 would be even cheaper. GO WITH THE 640 MINIMUM if you stick with Nvidia. For the current midrange though... that 2900xt looks pretty sweet! AND with HDCP which the gts doesnt support! thing...

    Coolit Freezone & Eliminator

    I think I have to agree with aigo on the instability or... inefficiency of the pelts. That is... when working with four cores of course. Tec's have and have had potential and still have a LONG way to go when it comes to playin with the big boys. I like the idea, Aig, about cooling the hot side...

    Coolit Freezone & Eliminator

    I went through 3 eliminators about a month and a half ago. The first was friggin awesome until a week later when the fan starting whining and rattling like crazy. Returned it, got a new one. The new one was a perfect case of "what not to do" at the quality control line. This thing's pump was DOA...

    Using multiple memory with different timings

    Yeah... I was pretty sure that was the bottom line and stupid questions are asked all day everyday so I guess I had to slip mine in. Thanks for the quick response dude! So I replaced the c5 with c4 Dominator to match the regular c4 xms2 and problem solved. Only thing is that its @ 2.17v and...

    Using multiple memory with different timings

    I just dropped in another 2gb of basically the same memory I had before but with lower latency and without the led. The system was stable before but not so when running both pairs. My existing system had 2x1gb pc6400-800mhz twinx xms2"pro"running stock at 5-5-5-12 (1.8v I think). I picked up a...

    NEC 2090UXi weird solid color flickering problem

    I assume your monitor is connected via DVI-D so there is no chance for interferences on analog cable. Yes and no. DVI to analog converter just past the card. Analog into the monitor. As far as the tests, I will try tonight and let you know what I find. I was, however, able to remedy the...

    NEC 2090UXi weird solid color flickering problem

    From what I read, I think I might be experiencing the same thing. I have an NEC 1970gx multisync and I began to notice what seemed to be slight flickering when my background was set to the blue xp image. If no processes are running, it looks fine. When I open task manager, or anything really...

    Core 2 Duo High Temps

    Either way... both should be DTS... and 20C is a HUGE difference, could a more demanding gpu be causing a drain on the cpu creating higher temps? Home - GeForce 7950 GT KO 512mb Gddr3 Dell - ATI Fire GL 128mb ddr2 Also, the ambient temp at home is probably 5-10C cooler than where the dell...

    Core 2 Duo High Temps

    This is of course not being liquid cooled and trusting what I see from a Dell reading on Core Temp. Hey Elf... whats your temps idle and load????? I see you run H2O cooling...

    Core 2 Duo High Temps

    I use AS5 on the home box and I dont know what Dell uses but I would imagine its a sticky pad type. I try to use not too much and not too little as to not get it squeezed out and onto the pins by from mounting the heat sink. I cleaned the grease off with AS cleaner & primer, reapplied the AS5...

    Core 2 Duo High Temps

    Ive noticed a HUGE difference in temperature and not sure if the readings are off or if its really the HSF and case design... This is the difference between 2 roughly comparable systems. Dell vs. self built. Comparing my two rigs: Dell Precision 390 box E6600 stock 2.4 no oc (obvious...

    E6600 temps over 65c on TAT under full load

    I am partially thinking the same thing. I am running two identical Dells and both report roughly 20C idle. Both from Core Temp and TAT and this is DTS right????? Both just seem arctic when compared to my personal machine...

    E6600 temps over 65c on TAT under full load

    Guess Im not the only one with high temps then... and Im thinking its REALLY the hsf. This is the difference between 2 roughly comparable systems. Dell vs. self built. Comparing my two rigs: Dell Precision 390 box E6600 stock 2.4 no oc (obvious being its from Dell and used at work)...
