Why does my Sapphire dual-x boost 7950 not report VRM temps?? I don't even see the text for VRM temps in GPU-Z (RoG or regular flavor), Afterburner, or Trixx.

I don't know if I have a really crap batch of CPU or if I need to reseat my cooler (done once already a year ago), but for a long time I was stable @ 4.2ghz/1600mhz RAM. When I've been stable in the past coretemp would report something like 40-50C idle, 70-80C load I believe still much higher...

Every time I start to read about bitcoin and implementing a mining scheme I get overwhelmed. I think distributed computing is great and profiting from it even better. I've done some brief folding in the past. Can anyone point me to some real solid guides for the whole process of mining BC/LC...

For the last few years now I've been using a Logitech K800 wireless illuminated keyboard. I have no real complaints with it.

I am now using a Corsair HX620 modular 620w psu and do not like the cables as much as my ultra x-2 modular psu 550w. If I used one or two of the cables from the ultra modular PSU (especially cause they have some cables that are more eficient for my needs than that of corsair, would it work...

Im upgrading to a new mobo and when I take off and transfer the copper heatsink and e6400 cpu that I have, I want to re-apply the AS5 which is on there. My question is, can i just put another rice sized amount on the cpu/hs or do i need to first somehow fully remove the old AS5? Thanks

Mine came today ordered it monday from zzf.

http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80859 I just ordered with fedex 2 day shipping...mind you not pre-order!! At least didn't say so...hopefully this will ship tommorow! free shipping ups or do what i did 2 day shipping is only 2$ extra!

Multiple people have called into ZipZoomFly and they say they will have more chips available tommorow, specifically the E6600. I hope their right. I will be getting it tommorow from ZZF if this is true and its not absurdly priced. And here is quote from a guy on XS forums.

170$ shipped http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=247083
