Need a suggestion for 8GB (2x4) for this board. I picked up some Corsair Vengence (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9) and this damn thing will not POST. I get the red LED on the memory test. Tried all the memory slots and different configs of memory. 1 slot, 2 slots, single stick, two sticks etc. New build...

I have read a few discussions on this and I still don’t think I have a clear answer. In my situation, what real world benefits would I see going from a Q9550 clocked at 3.6 to a 2500k? I am wondering if the Q9550 is bottlenecking my GTX460 1GB @ 900/2000, 1920x1200. with as much eye candy...

I have two arrays name() and age(). I am using a DO WHILE loop to populate the two arrays. After the arrays are populated I am using a combo box to select name() and need to pass the () on to the age variable but I am not sure how to do that. When I select an item in the combo box I know...

So I get a text from my nephew tonight stating his PC "won't boot and there is nothing on the screen" First thought was VC, but I put the VC from his machine in mine and it booted just fine. CPU fan is spinning. I unplugged the HDD and CD ROM drive no change. The only things attached...

Building a new rig and I am going with the MSI P55-GD80 and an i5 760 but am not sure what speed of memory to buy. I like the reviews on the Ripjaws memory from G.Skill and have used their memory in the past with great success. I was leaning toward this...

I picked up a GTX 470 SC yesterday to bench it against my GTX 460 SC and I am curious as to what you guys think about these results. EVGA GTX 460 SC Edition Clocked to 850/1700/2000 Vantage = 8284 Heaven = 40/994 FC2 Ultra Settings = 69 Metro 2033 High = 36 Metro 2033 Very High = 30...

Got a client with about 25 Internet connected PC's. I have been using a Linksys router up until today. The Linksys crapped out and I am on the hunt for a rock solid router to share the Internet connection. It has to have decent logging capabilites, VPN would be a bonus but is not required...

For the life of me I can not figure out how to up the CPU voltage on this MB. CPU-Z shows the voltage at 1.2. I was hoping to bump it up a bit to test stability but nothing I change in the BIOS works. Anyone? -Flake

Got the above hardware installed. Using 4x1GB of G.Skill RAM was an utter failure with regard to overclocking. Using 2x1GB in slots 1 and 3 resulted in a stable overclock of 3.8. 450*8.5. Since I running Win7 x64 I would like to up the memory to 2x2GB of PC8500, which isn't an issue. The...

This combo netted me 3.6 with an AC7 E6750 GA-P35-DS3L (1x2) 2GB G.Skill PC2-6400 Asking $120 + shipping for the set.. Worked fine when I pulled it 4 days ago. -Flake

Q9950 on a EP45-UDL3. Running stock @ 2.83 it fails IBT. I mean, this is stock on a brand new MB. Temps only get to 47 or so when running IBT. Boot the memtest CD, and it runs without any errors. WTF is going on? -Flake

Running OCCT and smal FFT's the temps of my Q9550 are running about 66-68* across all 4 cores. The cooler is an AC7. It is OC'ed to 3.7 at the stock voltage. Idle's @ 40* Should I be concerned with the temps? OCCT ran for 38 hours without hiccup in this config. -Flake

I have a chance to move some hardware around without much cash outlay and was wondering if anyone has an opinion regarding the Phenom II vs an E6750. Either the the X3 or the X2 550. Would I see a significant boost in performance going from the E6750 @ 3.4 to either the X3 or X2? Day to...

All I want to do is backup my USB memory stick automatically when I insert it into my Vista machine. I don't want to be prompted, just do it. It needs to do incremental backups, no synchronization, just back the damn thing up. Anyone have a clue as to what software will do this? -Flake

I just picked up a GTX260 to replace my 8800 GTS 320mb card with the hopes of turning up the eye candy on games like STALKER, Crysis, etc. I mostly play FPS games, with an occasional RTS. Most of my gaming is in XP with a couple games installed under Vista 32bit. My CPU is a 6750 @ 3.6 on a...

I VPN into NT4 box 1 using MS PPTP. Once the VPN is up I use VNC to connect to an XP box. Once on the XP box I VPN into NT4 box 2 using MS PPTP. It goes as far as “Verifying Username and Password” but fails to authenticate with error 721. I have rebooted both NT servers and the...

Ok, I moved off of the AMD 939 platform to this Intel rig. OC'ing an Intel CPU is new to me as I have been an AMD user for many years. I got everything up and running but for the life of me I can't get this 6750 over 3.4. Multiplier is at 8x FSB is at 430 Ram is at 1:1 Vcore is 1.45...

Got a buddy who has to pull the power switch jumper on the MB every time the system looses power to be able to boot the system. If he pulls the power cord out of the wall, he has to pull and replace the power switch jumper on the MB before system will boot. Any thoughts on this one...

I am contemplating replacing my Opty 170 setup to an E6420 C2D setup. MB, RAM and CPU swap. The Opty is OC'ed to 2.7 now but I wonder how much of performance difference I will see in gaming with the C2D and my 8800 GTS. Any thoughts? -Funk

I picked up STALKER today and with my dual core AMD and a 7900GT it felt laggy and just not right. So I fired up 3DMark05 and 06 and discovered the frame rate is capped at 30 FPS even at 640x480!!! The monitor is a Samsung 244T and the info supplied by the monitor show 60Hz. Running FRAPS...

4 weeks later and I was able to OC a bit more out of this Opty 170 and wanted to know if I am at the limit of this CPU. It is running in an Abit KN8 SLI rig. Temps with the stock cooling are about 55-56 under load. If I raise the FSB to 311 Prime will crap out. It is stable for 18 hours...
