    All of my sound has a slight echo effect

    Do you have any other hardware audio devices? Having a single signal going by both analog and digital usually causes this.

    Yes- go single burner if you can. What video card? And yes, Athena will be around. They rely on a lot of server PSUs.

    Do you believe Jesus Christ is your lord and savior?

    Oh, and two other things that do actually have to do with the thread. Its hard to say Jesus was a great man yet isn't God, because, like 50 billion times, he claimed to be. If I claimed to be God right now, born of a virgin, and the only way of salvation, you wouldn't say I was good. You...

    Do you believe Jesus Christ is your lord and savior?

    Yes, and riporing or whatever on the first page got it right, except I'm a Southern Baptist. But whatever, we obviously have the same God, so go you brother. You know, people who hate us and really want to flame can go start their own thread so we don't have to read your stuff.

    Members of ages 15 to 20: Do you feel that our generation is doomed?

    I'm 17 too, and this generation is all about "bein a gangsta" or "bein eminem"? is that how you spell it? Anyway, at least some of you care and do want to have a life. I'm lucky because I am a violinist, and there aren't any classical musicians who don't care. My friends and I talk about this...

    Religion debate with a 7 year old. Would you teach your kid this?

    It's not the baby, it's life. Sorry, I didn't really think that the mom would have totally denied sex being involved. We just think that God made life and maintains life.

    Religion debate with a 7 year old. Would you teach your kid this?

    Christians think that God really does make the baby inside the womb. And really, do you think that sperm and egg is all there is to human life? Some people yell at us Christians for being intolerant, but hey, I never hear you telling an atheist that his beliefs are wrong. If a parent teaches...

    Is the xbox2 more powerful than a top of the line pc?

    MS PROMISED that 360 would be more powerful than any PC at its launch, just in hardware, and it will have better looking games for a long time. I know everyone of you stopped reading when you saw PROMISED, because we were also PROMISED the Ultimate-Operating-System-Embodied-In-Windows-XP, but I...

    DFI Ultra-D NB fan too loud? What are alternatives?

    My chipset fan is really loud too, though I have an SLI-DR. I unplugged it from the mobo and put it on a PSU connector. It solved all my troubles for whatever reason and is now almost silent.

    24-pin mobos and new PSUs

    On newegg, their "ATX 2.0" is ATX 12v, or something w/12. Many PSUs have the extra 4 pins as an optional thing- they come with it, but it can be taken off. I just had to get a PSU and was looking sooooo hard for ATX 2.0 lol... and more lol.

    Need Help Oc And I Did My Homework.

    bump to the 2 previous. Divider and BIOS clocking is best. Except highly rated RAM will definitey improve performance; how could it not, when you are giving the CPU more access to RAM?

    Extreme-ish Cooling Suggestions?

    Your budget should decide the method of cooling. Water is sooo worth it, and stabilizes temps in overclocking. But there are good air stuffs too, though none as efficient as a mediocre water setup.

    First Water Cooling Project

    You're almost definitely limited by the memory. You can raise the voltage of the RAM to, like 2.8 or 2.9. 2.9 is safe with 99% of RAM and you have good quality RAM (same as me). Once that stops working, use a memory divider. It would also save you a lot of time to lower the RAM speed a lot...

    Help me get a QUIET watercooling system

    Pumps vary in noise, but most are quieter than a fan. For the quietest PC possible, I would do water with a CPU and GPU block, get a good quality pump, and go find the quietest fan possible. Replacing the GPU fan, which is probably the loudest thing on your computer, makes it worth it from a...

    Hello people im a new guy at anandtech and i need help on making a computer.

    Get the DFI SLI board, it's the best way to save money in the long run. Get good RAM, I think you are. If you have the money, get a 3500 or 3800. If you don't need the best graphics, 2 6600GTs will give extremely good performance, and not cost as much as a 6800 Ultra. Pick your own case-...

    Hello. I'm a new guy that's trying to build a computer for the FIRST TIME. I read some magazines of Maximum PC to find

    DFI= super awesome, most people here will tell you to get an AMD 3000+ and overclock it, which I highly recommend (I'm clocking my winnie 3000 to 2.4 right now, much faster than 2.2), RAM good, everything good etc. until PSU. I have never heard anything really good about X-Connect. There is a...

    Turned off NCQ and now no issues with A8N-SLI

    How in the world do you turn NCQ on/off, unless you have an older, proprietary mobo that came out before the new gen of chips. Seagate, on their website, says it cannot be turned on/off, it is on by hardware. Never mind, I read the others, but still, is it a BIOS thing?

    "Official" DFI nF4 Ultra-D / SLI-DR Thread

    I don't know, because I have to use an adapter, and although it is prime95 stable, it sometimes cuts out, like it isn't getting enough power. I just got a new PSU, though and will see if this solves the problem.

    Suggestions on cooling

    Yeah, the all-in-1 junk is junk. Way better performance comes out of the build-it-yourself stuff. Oh, and go you with the 3000 winnie. I have one too and am doing a 2.45 (35%) overclock. On water, of course.

    water cooling, advice

    Most people have a res, and it really makes everything easier. People only say that they leak because they sometimes crack around the in/outlets. Mine did that, but only because I tightened the barbs in way too tight. I just got some clear silicone-based caulk and smeared it around the barbs...

    Thermaltake Tsunami impressions

    I love it. Though I mostly agree with you, I haven't ever seen a really good screwless PCI setup, and my fans aren't loud at all. I've heard mixed reviews on the fans- either people say they're loud, or they are quiet. Maybe TT gives random fans out to random people, and that would explain...

    Did I Screw Myself with a 939 3400+?

    Oh no. You'll be mainly limited bo the RAM bandwidth. Maybe if you had like 64 PCIxpress lanes going somewhere, you could use 16g. And I have no idea who in the world told you that the 939 3400 is incompatible? Were you in the Intel forums?

    Yeah- 3500 and 6800gt. Overclocking on AMDs is great- every one is almost guaranteed to get 20%, even on air.
