Does this seem right to anyone? Currently trying to overclock a Pentium Dual Core E5200. Runs at 2.5ghz stock, I've heard reports of people getting it up to 3.6ghz on stock voltage alone. I managed to get it stable in games (i.e playing for several hours with no problems) at 3.7ghz with a small...

I have an old spare 7800GTX that could be put to use in my girlfriend's PC. At the moment it has some kind of Radeon X300 with a passive cooler and it really chugs in WoW, and even with games like Peggle. The recommended minimum PSU for a 7800GTX appears to be either 350W or 400W with 22A on...

Just found out about the firmware shitstorm earlier this year, it has been fixed now, right? I normally buy WD Caviar drives but there was a deal on the Barracuda 1.5TB 7200.11 that was too good to pass up.

Exclusively on http://www.cokezero.de for some reason.

This is lame. A clean install is not worth the hassle at the moment as I will be building a new rig soon. Is there any way I can fool it into thinking I'm running a lower edition of Vista? Why the hell did I buy Vista Ultimate :rolleyes:

It's almost upgrade time for me (current rig in sig) In the UK, an OEM i7 920 can be had for about £200, retail i7 860 is about £230 X58 motherboards are about £200 for the features I want. P55 ones are about £170 If I'm gonna go X58 I'll be looking at 6GB RAM, P55 I'm undecided between 4 or...

Vista x64 has been working flawlessly for me until recently - I had to hard reset my PC when it became unresponsive after trying to restart. Upon restarting I got "DISK BOOT FAILURE - INSERT SYSTEM DISK" which I haven't seen in years. I booted up the Vista CD to do a repair, but it found no...

To be honest I don't want Mass Effect to end, it's so good... I heard Jade Empire is rather splendid as well. Is the gameplay similar? I tried a friend's copy of KOTOR a couple years back but I couldn't get into it. Too wordy and the lack of realtime combat bored me. Perhaps I'll give it...

http://www.projectoffset.com/news.php Gosh! What does it mean?

At the beginning of this year I got myself an Opteron 175 to tide me over until I build a whole new system. After some extensive Prime/Otheros testing was slightly disappointed to find that one core refused to be stable over 2.65ghz no matter how much vcore I threw at it, so I settled on a nice...

http://investor.activision.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=229755 Wow. Didn't expect this.

The new version of diskeeper is based on a feature called invisitasking which runs constantly and defrags your drive only using idle CPU time, much like FAH, and therein lies the problem. When FAH is running, invisitasking won't do anything at all. I've tried throttling FAH's CPU usage, but...

Had a good search but I don't think anyone has answered this. I'm thinking of moving the bottom fan to the front (in the main chamber, not the bottom), has anyone done this? Preferably with the hard disk cage in, and without cutting or drilling. I'd have a look inside the case, but I've just...

how sticky are they supposed to be? because mine just keep falling off at the slightest touch. They seem to do the job OK though. I thoroughly cleaned off the residue from the stock cooler.

Had a PSU failure recently (exploded). I RMA'ed it (enermax noisetaker 600w) and got a new Noisetaker II. I hooked it up and it wouldn't fully power up my motherboard (DFI Lanparty NF4 SLI-DR). Got standby LEDs, but hitting the power switch would only make it power up for a split second. The new...

Mine just did. It was a 600w noisetaker SLI cert. It has worked great for over a year... then today I come home and my brother tells me the PC shut off while he was using it. He couldn't get it to power back on. I switched the PSU off, unplugged and left it for a while. Plugged back in...

... how crap it is. I don't know how many times I lost connection, to both the game server and the EA master server. At one point it froze up, necessitating a reset. Constant lag/twitching around. Infantry combat is still a joke. Aircraft still explode at the merest hint of a collision...

apparently... I have reposted here, it is a bit faster. - Kyle http://itbbs.pconline.com.cn/topic.jsp?tid=6054769&pageNo=1 someone said there are 12 ram chips. also notice the two power connectors.

OK, I'd been noticing some weird problems lately, like Data Execution Prevention popping up when I try to play certain games or Windows Media Player. Also games would crash to desktop or blue screen a lot. I tried tweaking some memory settings in bios and when I booted up, I got "NTLDR is...

This is by no means an authoratitive or official FAQ, just the best of my knowledge. I'm sure some of you can flesh it out with more info. - When will DX 10 be available? It will be shipping as part of Windows Vista which is expected in early 2007. - Will I need a DX 10 card for Vista...

http://www.gamershell.com/download_14784.shtml looks absolutely gorgeous, but the frame rate is down the toilet even on my SLI 7800GTX setup. I'd say it's even slower than Oblivion. Can anyone here get it running smoothly? BTW, force AFR rendering if you have SLI.

I've always used Nvidia's refresh rate override to keep it at a decent setting on my CRT monitor, since a lot of games insist on running at 60hz. However since upgrading to SLI I've found that it interferes a lot with most games, causing all sorts of problems like half the screen going blank, or...

Overclocked my San Diego 3700+ to 2.8ghz. I primed it for 12 hours with no problems, it's also been folding away as usual and Windows in general is fine. But any games will make it crash or blue screen after a short while. If a game crashes to desktop then the rest of the system starts...

I don't. His results are about 3-4x higher than what I get with 2 cards. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=71306

Anyone else get this with 1.3 incremental patch? No explanation, just "patching failed". Gonna download the full patch now. WHY CAN'T THEY GET IT RIGHT? GAHHH!

Does anyone know if the knobs on the X-Fi's 5 1/4" bay panel protrude further than the P180's front door? It doesn't look like they would, but I want to make sure. Anyone know?
