    Noobish RAID questions:

    Sorry for the noobing, but I'm getting a bit frustrated with MSI's documentation, or lack thereof. I've waiting far too long in the grand scheme of things to actually implement a RAID in any of my systems, and now that I want to, it appears I don't know what I'm doing. Motherboard: MSI z87...

    WTB Opty 185

    Paying $200 shipped. I don't need HSF, just the processor. If it's had its heat spreader removed, I'll need the shims to go with, but that's not a deal-breaker. Heat: npurdin Ebay: nate_purdin

    Opteron 185's

    Did they just go extinct? A week or 2 ago I was considering buying one on newegg, comparing with TD and ZipZoomFly... now everyone's backordered or removed it from their catalogue completely. Anyone know where I can find one without ebaying it? (Ebay's a last resort)

    eVGA 7600GT CO Temps

    What should I be getting under full load? SpeedFan seems to think I'm hitting 79C. (At which point my system hangs, waits for 10 seconds, runs ok for 10 seconds while the GPU cools, repeats) What are normal operating temps (load and idle) for this card? Current Idle is 50C and Load (hang) is 79C

    Easy Recovery Professional

    Worked in a repair shop for a few years, got used to this recovery software... top of the line in my book. So I went to buy myself a copy... $500 So... anyone got a cheaper but still similarly effective data recovery solution?

    RMA it or cope?

    I picked up a set of Corsair XMS 2x1024. Advertised Settings of 2-3-3-6 at 2.75v (high isn't it?) Anyway, As one would expect, the board didn't pick it up immediately and I had to set the timings and voltage manually. It is EXTREMELY unstable with these settings and throws memtest errors in...

    My a8n-SLI Premium has Issues

    Can a Toledo core "San Diego" be unlocked to dual core?

    I've been reading up on a64 CPU's and I saw that AMD is offering a San Diego core 3700+ and a Toledo core 3700+ both as single-core CPU's. As I understand it Toledo cores are dual-core, so does that mean that the second core is just lying dormant on that chip? If so, can it be re-enabled? (ala...

    6800 ULTRA OC AGP/Part out gaming rig?

    I'm looking to sell some parts of my gaming rig, and perhaps sell the whole thing as a pakage if someone wants it that way. I'm selling the whole thing in my shop atm, so I reserve the right to declare it sold at any time. I think I'll put the 6800OC in it if I sell it in the shop. No...

    New way to get naked?

    It's late, I'm tired, but I think I got a sweet idea.. figured I'd throw it out there and see what yall think. One of the biggest problems with removing the IHS on an A64 CPU is that the core is prone to cracking/chipping due to the pressure exerted by the HS. If one were to leave the...

    512MB Single-Sided DDR

    I'm having a helluva time finding the []RAM I need for my system. I need a 512MB stick of COLOR=DarkRedSingle-sided [/COLOR] DDR (2100-3200, I don't care as all I can use is 2100). The CL on my current RAM is 2.5, so I think it would be wise to get more of that, not sure. My board is an...

    PCI/AGP locks

    Before I OC the FSB on my A7N266-c, I wanna know if the board has AGP and PCI locks, since I'm running a 6800 Ultra OC, and I doubt if that chip can take much more before it pops. Anyone know off-hand if this board has locks, or how I can find out? Thanks

    Thermaltake Lapping

    Does thermaltake still use the same tool for lapping as is used for for spiral-cutting hams? I was just looking on my old Volcano 6cu and saw a really rough spiral on the conductor surface. Looking at getting another Thermaltake, but the new Quiet one, the Silentboost RX K7. Anyone know if...

    AGP 4x outlived its usefullness?

    I need a new Graphics card, without buying a new system. I have an AGP Pro 4x slot and a spare PCI slot. Curious if there's anything worth buying for a 4x slot, or even for a PCI slot. I'm looking for something in the NVIDIA 6600GT Chipset, just wanted to get a bit of input. Thanks in advance
