My 2 year oldish 500GB Crucial BX100 is dying/dead seizing up and causing i/o errors 50% of the time after booting up and logging in so I looked into the RMA process. Even at 95% SMART, it's hobbled. Seems like no one is offering advance RMA (ie you give them your credit card and they send a...

Anyone know how to disable the sleep on these hard drives? Mine seems to go to sleep far too quickly. 7K3000 2TB SATA3 drive. Other hard drives had a AAM tool but this one apparently doesn't.

Currently running a 5850 and am not sure if upgrading to a 6950 would fit. Any ideas?

Using a Scythe Mugen 2vB on an Asus Rampage II Gene Looks like the shop assembling my new PC build says that they can't put a push fan on one side (I wanted to put 2 but the clips don't fit this heatsink) since it is right up against RAM slots with overly-high heatsinks. Is there any harm wrt...

Just replaced my Panasonic Viera HDTV I was using as a monitor with a Sharp and while the picture is great, the Sharp "blinks" (like when you change video modes) real quick every few seconds, every one or two minutes. HDMI cable (through DVI adapter) is snug. Any ideas?

Windows 7 and the latest WHQL (190.x) drivers have broken flat panel scaling for those of us with HDTVs so everything is stretched. Nvidia, being bastards, don't enable the scaling driver tab or option at all for those of us with HDTVs, only with "regular" monitors connected through DVI. I'm...

Anyone build their SFF with this mobo? There don't seem to be any pro reviews of it aside from some people mentioning it doesn't support more than 4GB.

Now after reading up on it, I know eSATA ports output more juice and the external cables are shielded according to official spec but...is there any harm in using one of the onboard SATA ports on my mobo (that does not specifically support eSATA or port multiplication)to go to a backplate exSATA...

Anyone fit one of these in a SFF system or a breadbox? (H467P1GP) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161266

Why can't any motherboard makers with their proprietary custom tweaking/OC-ing programs making it look OS-appropriate 'neutral' like Speedfan? Or why do they all have awful box art? Everything looks like it's been put through Alien Skin filters for no good reason...

My VF700-Alcu + 7800GT's melting at 50C idle/100C load so I'm looking to get something that actively exhausts heat. Any opinions?
