    Thermaltake coolant... a need or not?

    Hi, my Bigwater coolant bottle is empty and I found the price for the CL-W0044 way too high. My question is, can I use another substitute? Also, if you got a good recipe for making great cooling liquid, I would like to know it. Another thing, can I damage my cpu block or any blocks if...

    Dead Beat Xbox 360 eBay bidders

    I've bought a rig last year on ebay and I got ripped off. I was taking precaution but I'm a too good person and I didn't take it as business. I thought that this person will be honest like me. Wasn't the case and I lost around 3000$ canadian. I almost never got on ebay since then. I'm in...

    AGP cards...

    I play my game in 1280X1024 due to my LCD screen like I said before. I simply put 2X or 4X AA instead of 8 or 16... would you tell me the need to play at 16 when you're running at 1280? Like I said, the only game I can't push that much is Doom 3 and it most likely due because it's an ATI card.

    AGP cards...

    Well, from the stats I saw, I will be able to play this easily with most of the eye candy. Of course, I can't take HDR into the picture since my card doesn't support it.

    AGP cards...

    Why would I do that since I play most of my game at the maximum setting I could get with my VP930b? The only one until now I wasn't able to run at max was Doom3. I still didn't try out Quake 4, but from what I heard, the real challenge is Call of Duty 2.

    AGP cards...

    I got a a new system 6 month old. I play most game on high definition even with this card. I will wait until next year to see if I should change the mobo... Damn it... that whole crap is only a way to make money...

    AGP cards...

    I was willing to replace my Radeon 9800 pro at the end of next year when the new technologies around Next-Generation will be available to PC. The only problem is that I am still on AGP and I begin to see a real drop by ATI and Nvidia. Will there be any new AGP cards since the real jump...

    Chrysler 300, is the "hot" car to get now?

    For me, ecologic actions is important, so, the 300 is by far not a car I recommend.

    Overclocking and Cool and Quiet questions.

    Hmmm that's some valuable info from someone who actually got the same mobo, thank you. I will change my setting. Also, the SMART HD option is something I don't particulary know. Should I activate it?

    Overclocking and Cool and Quiet questions.

    Well, I'm about to start overclocking my system, but one or 2 things are buzzing me. The first one is my graphic card. I got a 9800 pro from ATI and I believe that will be the only thing holding me. If I overclock the FSB and I want to only marginally overclock my gpu, how can I do it safely...

    Floppy Drive Disk Format problems.

    I will inform my retailler about this. I presume the same, but the drive is brand new and only a few days old. I didn't even try to use it for other means than testing.

    Floppy Drive Disk Format problems.

    Not at all, I can transfer stuff when the disk is not empty. If it's empty, I need to format it and, at this moment, I can't use it.

    Overclocking guide

    I need to find a good guide for overclocking.I want to find one that is heavily theorical. I want to know all the detail for all around overclocking possibilities. I'm studying in electrical engeneering, so I'm really curious to know how you can optimized your system with everything involved.

    Floppy Drive Disk Format problems.

    Well, I just installed my floppy drive on my new computer and I got some problem with it. I can't format my disc with it, but I can use already formated disk. I thought that it could be my floppy controller, but more I think about it, maybe I got a bad drive. I use windows XP pro SP2 and I...

    Temperature analyst needed!

    Good news everybodies, it was in fact my motherboard Bios. I<m now at 30 degrees at idle at medium fan speed (25 dbs overall!!!). With that kind of performances, I can only recommend the Thermaltake Bigwater system.

    Temperature analyst needed!

    Okay, I just clean up the artic silver compound from my processor. I still got the 39 Celcius. I will give some news when the thermal paste gonna get dry. It was a new PC, so maybe that's the reason why I can get optimal results. Well, maybe some peoples can inform me if it's the case.

    Temperature analyst needed!

    I just checked my artic silver 5 tube, and I can assure you that I didnt put more than 20% of the tube. I got only a thin and slick layer of about maybe .2 mm. Now, I got 39 celcius at idle in medium speed (radiator fan only) I will check if the performances are better in overclocking...

    Temperature analyst needed!

    I saw some bench from someone using the same kind of processor. He got about the same temperatures as me. Anyway, I didn't start to overclock. I'm asking myself if water-cooling is performing better than air cooling for overclocking.

    Temperature analyst needed!

    I got an athlon 64 running at 44 Celcius at load with a thermaltake Big Water system. I also put some arctic silver 5 (half a tube). These temps are in my opinion quite high for the deveices I use. My case temp is 33 Celsius. Normal or not? I'm really confuse right now.

    NCQ support on MSI K8N Neo 2 platinum socket 939.

    I was not aware of this. I wonder why some SATA 1 drives are NCQ enabled if only SATA 2 boards can run the protocol.

    Thermaltake BigWater or Thermalright XP-90

    Like I said, for the difference of price, I think it's best to go with the TT kit. Also, are you aware that some coolant are almost danger free? By the way, I saw some benches of the 3 heatsink compared with different fans. The difference between the 3 were so thin that the 20$ difference...

    Thermaltake BigWater or Thermalright XP-90

    Probably because the price difference between the 2 are ridiculous. Espescially in Canada (I don't know why) water cooling kit seems, by far, cheaper. 130$ canadian for a Bigwater system? You bet I'm asking myself if I should fall for it. The XP-90 plus a the panaflo going to cost me...

    Thermaltake BigWater or Thermalright XP-90

    I was aware of the possibilities that offer the Corsair Cool system and I event made a Thread in FS/FT about this, but I can get the Thermaltake Bigwater for half the price with some of the best performance/price ratio. I'm asking this, because I can buy the Bigwater for 110$ US. Here

    Been using my TT Tsunami for a week...

    If your buying this case for casual needs, maybe you're doing a bad choice, but if you have in mind to overcloock.... ohhhhhh, that's another thing. Any people who overclock a little knows that sound will always be an issue. (Well, depend on the money you're willing to put for a silent...

    Thermaltake BigWater or Thermalright XP-90

    I don't want to spend a fortune on cooling, espescially with a Thermaltake Tsunami 3000. I want to know which one give me more opportunities. Right now, I tend to prefer the Bigwater because of his upgrading quality. I need an advice from someone who really knows cooling. It's for an...
