so I'm running an evga 680i mobo (ugh!) and have 3 drives (SATA 3.0) in RAID 5, and I'm having lots of problems with RAID (I'm really hoping the problems are only related to RAID...). I was considering taking everything out of RAID, reformatting everything, and just running 3 separate drives...

So I just bought a DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router (draft-n just fyi). I haven't hooked it up yet nor do I have internet at my current apartment as I've just moved, but I've got a few questions about the router. I don't currently have the box with me, but apparently it can operate in 2.4Ghz...

I was looking at that one too, and it looks like it could be the best available right now. I'm in a similar situation...looking for the "best" wireless router. however, my laptop (its somewhat old) has an integrated 802.11b wireless card, so I'm not sure how much that affects what I should...

looking for a cheap LCD HDTV for under $250 for my girlfriend. I'm looking for a TV, not a monitor, so I'm not sure I'm in the best forum. anyway, she needs something she'll be able to watch TV on right now (analog), and I'd like it to be a fairly decent panel and a TV she'll be able to use for...

good lord, GPU temp is 66-67C right now lol. I just got home from work, and left my PC on all day. it is also considerably cooler in my room right now (like 73F) while last night it was probably somewhere between 77-80F. I should also mention I just got my side panel fan yesterday and installed...

I guess I'm up for anything really. something that looks cool for sure and would look real nice on my 4:3 S-IPS panel, maybe something 3D that uses my video card. I'm slightly interested in a fish tank style screen saver, and I thought I read about one on here once awhile back

hah, well I'm not sure what the ambient temp refers to, but thats what it said in rivatuner 2.01. I imagine it refers to another sensor somewhere inside the case last night I measured my temps some more. my peak GPU temp was 84C while playing a game, and the lowest was about 77C idle. I think...

rivatuner is reporting my core temp at 83C and my ambient temp at 68C. my PC is idle. I think the core temp is my GPU temp. I'm a noob with these programs, but how can I increase the speed of my fans, specifically my GPU fan? what about other options, such as after market cooling? whats weird...

can anyone recommend a (free) screen saver? I figured this would be the place to ask. thanks

anyone else have this set up? my side panel fan literally pushes against my tuniq heatsink. I actually thought the fan would be a little lower on the panel, and not as large. I didn't realize it would push against my heatsink. everything seems to be operating just fine though. just curious if...

are my SATA HDs and DVD drive supposed to be detected as removeable devices in XP Pro? I thought there was a topic on this recently but I couldn't find it through search also, I've notice some weird instances where my SATA DVD drive isn't detected, and other times where my PC makes that USB...

can anybody tell me about USB or PS/2 peripheral problems with this evga 680i SLI mobo?
