So I just completed my new build and installed Vista 32 bit home edition. Just wondering if there is anything I should run to ensure that my build is working correctly. Are there any tests or anything?
I am in the process of buying the parts for my build and I think I may have made a bad call. I am building a E6600 with a 680i board. Running two 250Gig HD's and either a 8800 GTS or GTX. I will be overclocking also.
I went and bought a Antec Neo550 power supply.
Now I am pretty sure...
So I just got my Tuniq 120 for my C2D. Have one question though. I just looked at the heat pipes and noticed something that concerned me. The heat pipes on the Tuniq 120 are 3 copper tubes. that start in the heatsink come down attach to the base and then go back into heat sink. Ok so here is the...
All points taken, and I have adjusted my plans so forth. Question though, I am not really good with figuring out what ram is good and whats not. I stuck with the XMS because I had it my old computer and never had a problem.
Can you guys recommend me ram other then Corsair which performs as...

Does anyone know if either of these MB are going to have a problem running a Nvidia 7950? If so what about the X1900XTX? Will I be able to run either card? thanks!
Ok so I am dropping the a hard drive, the sound card, and I'll look into the Video card. If I can't run th 7950, whats another extremely powerful card that I can run.
After reading a post on a Raid setup. I am thinking just running one hard drive and keeping it defragged. apparently the performance gains are minimal for gaming.
Here is the build that I am about to buy. I have a DS3 board and a E6400 already. What do you guys think. This is going to be a gaming system for the most part. Where could I improve my setup. I am iffy about my video card, I am wonderng what would be a better choice. Also the ram, I believe the...
I currently have a DS3 and a E6400. I have the opertunity to pick up a P5B delux and a E6600. Someone please tell me why not to switch to the other setup.
Hello,
I am building my first system in years and I have some questions. I just picked up a DS3 motherboard and a E6400 C2D. My question is the following. I am an avid gamer and I plan on doing some overclocking in the future with the C2D. Is there a better motherboard on the market for...
So its been many moons since I last built a system and once again its has come time to catch up with the rest of my gaming buddies. I have been a AMD guy for a long time, but with this new Intel chip, there is no way I can pass it up.
