Hmm. I dunno about opening the door.. that's gonna be weird. I do have a 120mm fan where the upper HD rack is. I took the rack out of the case and am using the lower one for my HDs. The thing is all my fans are pretty low flow. They're all on the lowest setting. I'm kinda noise sensitive... too...

Hey for all you guys with the SLI-F version. How are you dealing with the northbridge. Mine gets super hot even at stock. I don't know if it can handle it. I have a Scythe Mine Tower HSF so it doesn't blow any air onto it, and a P180B case with 2 exhausts and 1 intake on the top section and all...

Sigh, nevermind BF2142 just crashed on me... will try to go back to stock speeds tommorow and play... hopefully it will work... then maybe I'll try overclocking again when the fan for my northbridge comes... if that doesn't work, i'll try upping different voltages on my overclock. If that...

SWEET!! I solved it. It was the beta drivers. I just finished playing 2.5hours of BF2 with the 100.65 drivers and I didn't have any problem. :-D

I've got a Seasonic 500W powersupply. I think that should be enough for my config. I'd prefer not to lower my clock, I feel I 3.0ghz is very mild and I don't want to be running lower. But if the signed drivers don't work then I'll probably give that a try. After that, I'm thinking maybe my...

I'm not getting BSOD. Just image/sound/mouse freezes and I can't do anything with keyboard. All I can do is press reset or power button. There's no error messages or anything. Damn VISTA! Sigh, I was already used to vista but it's totally worthless if you can't run any games or anything...

I've got the following configuration: e6400 @ 3.0ghz (375 x 8, 1.32vcore) MSI P6N Sli-Fi OCZ Platinum XTC 2x1GB PC6400 4-4-4-15 (auto 1.9v?) BFG 8800GTS 320mb OC 550/1600 Onboard sound Scythe Mine HSF, P180B, Seasonic S12 500w My cpu is overclocked to 3ghz and I've stressed tested...

You're a female? Actually I know Pebbles... but you just don't make the connection. I mean TOO many guys are playing female characters in games these days and pretending they're girls in chat rooms, the world is a disturbing place. Hehe but a girl that overclocks is cool. :D

Hi Everyone. I've recently upgraded my computer, here are the specs: e6400 @ 3.0ghz (375 x 8, 1.288vcore) MSI P6N Sli-Fi OCZ Platinum XTC 2x1GB PC6400 4-4-4-15 (auto 1.9v?) Sapphire X1800XT 512mb (flashed with PE) w/ Accelero X2 Onboard sound Scythe Mine HSF, P180B, Seasonic S12 500w...

Hi guys, I have a Antec P180B and my problem is that some of my usb devices don't work in the front ports. I can't figure out why. It's kinda a crap shoot. My USB key and my IR receiver work off the front ports but my Ipod Shuffle and my 80G 2.5inch External HD do not. Does anyone else have...

I'm now shopping for a UPS. I don't have much budget, so i found what looks like a decent Belkin one on ebay. My question is about the power rating on the UPS's, it's rated 550va, 330watts. This sounds fine to me for when it's running on battery during a blackout. But what about when the UPS is...

Hi JonnyGURU, do you personally use a UPS or an AVR? I'm just trying to get an idea if these devices are something that would be considered a "must purchase", or if people that use these are just being extra cautious. Personally, I've had brownouts happen before and my computer just shutdown...

Just wondering how bad it is to run your computer without a UPS. I don't really care about working during a power outtage. But after doing some research it seems people talk alot about AVR and having stable power to the computer. Is this really necessary? What do you guys think?

Well like I said I thought the antec was holding back my overclocking for some reason. But after doing some research, it probably wasn't. So I didn't "need" to get the seasonic, but I justified it by if nothing else, it would keep my case a little cooler and be quieter (the antec revs up a lot...
