    Need some help troubleshooting

    Wasn't sure where to put this. I put together two watercooled systems about 9 months or so back. However one of the systems is having problems that I just can't track down. So unless some of you have some suggestions I am going to end up just having to replace one piece of hardware at a...

    650i board, need some suggestions/help

    I am unable to get this board stable. I posted in another thread trying to get some help to flash the bios from 0302 to 0501 (supposedly a better bios). But I am not convinced that is going to fix my problems. System as right now is: - Board: P5n32-E SLI Plus (650i) - Processor: E6600...

    Overheating, what happens?

    That pretty much sums it up. If I am overclocking and it gets to hot, for whatever reason, what really happens? I am guessing worst case is it burns up my chip... but what generally happens? I have read sometimes it seems the computers lock up or shutdown, is this normal or just, you got...

    My build, thus far

    Below is what I currently have sitting next to me. I am looking for suggestions/tips/anything I should be aware of before I start and am I overlooking anything. My current concern is the motherboard. P5N32-SLI (premium). I have heard this can only OC the FSB to about 330 and that it is...

    Need a little advice, or a lot

    I am looking at buying a new system. It is hopefully looking at being in the $2000 - $2500 range. What I have been looking at currently, is a motherboard supporting SLI (not real specific here yet), 2G of ram (DDR2 I suppose), probably going to just run a single NVIDIA 7950 X2. Power supply...
