Just got an XFX 6950 2GB last week. Installed it and everything has been fine. Went to play a game and I can hear a pretty loud kinda whine noise when the intro comes on. It doesn't do it during actual gameplay or the cut scenes so it's not a huge deal but it's still very annoying. I did...

The SATA power cables that came with my power supply are very stiff. The problem is the way my SSD mounts into it's bracket places it close to the bottom of the plate. And the SATA power cable is so stiff that it goes in at an angle and seems to pull up on the actual SSD connection. This...

I am pretty sure the last lightning storm killed my mobo via ethernet. I have a cheap cyber power ups on my computer but have nothing for the cat 6 cable coming from my router. Do they make some kind of inline device or even a better UPS that has it built in?

Just got this board the other day but haven't had a chance to install it. Got it with a q9550 btw. I think I read a review over at newegg saying that you have to have an older chip in order to flash the bios so it will recognize "newer" chips. Has anyone experienced this? I'm hoping to...

What video card do you have and what settings do you use? I have an older 8800GT that does decent but I feel that it should be a bit smoother. Actually I played for the last few months at 1024 x 768 with most settings maxed but a week or two ago I bumped it up to 1920x1200. It looks good...

If AHCI is not enabled in the BIOS does this mean my sata drives are all running in IDE mode? If so, is there a noticable performance increase in enabling AHCI? Can I enable it without re-installing Vista? Sorry for all of the questions but I'd like to understand what it is and if I need...

I'm still chugging along on an old evga 7950gt ko superclocked card. I know I can get the latest nvidia whql or just download random ones and try them but was hoping theres a decent database that will narrow my choices down. Any chance of this? Or if you are using the same card, what driver...

My tuniq was on my 680i for a while and I could control the fan speed via the knob that goes on the pci hole on the case. Just switched to the P35-DS4 and connected everything the same way but the knob does nothing now??? Could the cpu fan header on the mobo block voltage to the fan somehow...

Months ago I was able to push my fsb to 400 and get my e6400 stable @3.2GHz. Just moved over to a p35-ds4 rev2 and want to do trhe same. What all do I need to do to get it there and stable? I've got the right hardware, just need some help finding my way around in the bios.

Was thinking of getting a new case to replace my TT tsunami. Just curious what everyone thinks of the antec p182? Other thought was maybe the antec 900 but it is a little much with the lights/leds. Would like to keep it down to ~$140. btw is it generaly better to have the Power supply...
