There appears to be no phone # anywhere, and less information regarding the RMA process. I may have missed something though.

Gold rated 1000 watts. Running with an i7, watercooler and a SSD. Enough power?

Just have the CPU looped atm. Ambient temp is hot as the AC is off but the weather is muggy. 2600k @ 4.9 1.37v HT disabled Temps mid 60's Prime small FTT Not sure if I am happy although the temps are 20-22c cooler compared to my previous air cooler. I think I will be able to get sub 60...

Is it possible to get buy with less voltage if cooling capacity increases? Im currently at 1.38v CPU core. Im at 4.9Ghz stable. Using a CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ and getting prime temps maxed in the high 70's to low 80's. Its a hell of an air cooler for $30. If I can decrease the temps with...

Pretty straight forward. I have an 80gb version of the G1 and G2 X25M. I assume they can be put in raid although I suspect there might be issues with firmware updates. Just curious if this is possible and if so are there any issues that aren't so obvious.

I have purchased 3 TN panels and have returned them all learning my lesson. I guess I can't go cheap but I am finding it very difficult to even find an S-PVA. I almost bought an Apple Cinema ( the matte screen ) but backed out at the last minute. I am considering the Dell Ultrasharp...

Wondering if it is possible to increase the throttle temp of the 4870X2. I notice when playing COD4 only the temps get into the mid 80's and the fan increases to 100% for a few seconds. Can this behavior be modified via the ATI profiles or via RivaTuner or is it hard coded for lack of a...

I have 2 monitors, one of which is set to clone the other. Everything is fine except when I play a game one of the monitors goes black and the game displays on the other monitor. Is it possible to display the game on both monitors at the same time. I am on Vista 64 Ultimate Catalyst 8.9...

http://downloads.guru3d.com/IntelBurnTest-v1.6-download-2047.html Be careful with this thing. My max under load on my Wolfdale 500fsb @ 4Ghz under Prime is like 52C. Burn Test got temps up to 70C.

I just rolled back, uninstalled 8.8, booted in safe mode, ran Driver Sweeper, deleted the ATI registries and folders, and when installing the 8.8 betas which worked fine a few days ago I get an error message saying my graphics adapter is not installed correctly. Is there a specific method for...

Prerender Frames is apparently called Flip Queue. ATT is partially compatible with Vista 64. Getting it to work involves using ReadyDrive or running Vista in Test Mode. I would like to avoid this if possible. Is there any method or utility that allows users to change the Flip Queue without...

I have noticed the screen flickers at times in games such as GRID and Oblivion. It seems to occur at any framerate, with and without V sync. I thought it might have been adaptive AA but testing proved otherwise. Using the 8.8 betas Was this ever an issue on the 3870X2 or Nvidia duel GPU...

I had difficulty installing drivers, finally found some 8.8 betas that seem to work. I notice little difference in performance playing Oblivion. Do you have to enable Crossfire in the Catalyst CP with these cards or does the driver do this automatically. So far I am disappointed...

Seems kind of important. Yes it is a powerful card, but there are a numbers of games that can force the X2 into micro stutter territory, which is from what I understand sub 50fps.

What frequency would one have to run an E8400 to unbottleneck a 4870. I have heard 3.6 and 3.8 GHz thrown around but am unsure as to how reliable those numbers are considering I haven't a clue myself.

Having troubling finding information about this. Is it possible to run Oblivion with AA and HDR enabled in Vista with a HD4870?

Looking to upgrade but I am in a pinch in regards to ram I use XP with SP3 Interested in: Asus p5Q pro E8400 or E8500 Now... I have 2 GB of DDR2 800 4-4-4-12. It has been awhile since I built a new rig and I am a bit confused as to the best memory to use if I want to hit 4ghz...

Just wondering if I need to upgrade my mobo. If can you get a decent mobo for use with E8500 and an ATI 4870. Thanks in advance for any advice.

So my girlfriend decides she wants a new computer. I have a nice overclock on my C2D E6700 @ 3.5 with an 8800GTX. Greats temps thanx to a Tuniq Tower, etc etc I buy her an E6400, some 800 Mhz Corsair Dominator, and an 8800GTX and a Tuniq. Using a previous mobo I had before my 680i, an...

I am using Corsair XMS2 DDR2 6400 epp 4-4-4-12 2.1 v On my 680i I have it running @ 1000 mhz with relaxed timings of 5-5-5-18 @ 2.3 v. Memtest is completely stable. I am not sure if I am giving the memory too much voltage and need to test more. My question is how high can memory like this...

Newly installed 680i works fine running @ 10x multiplier. I am new to the board and am not familiar with all of the options available for OC'ing. My E6700 healthy OC limit is 3.5 ghz @ 1.52 v. I can go higher but need to up voltages and don't care to atm. Temps are 50C max under Orthos Blend...

I am not sure how to phrase this so bear with me. Lets assume you have access to two high performance motherboards. All other components are held equal. Motherboard A overclocks E6600 to 3.6 @ 1.55 v Motherboard B overclocks the same E6600 to 3.6 @ 1.47 volts What I am asking...

I recently went to a 9 multiplier, was using 8 and a 440 fsb but my ram wasn't stable. Upon setting the multiplier to 9 I realized I could run 3.6 ghz and the ram @ 800 4-4-4-12 2.1 volt. This eliminated memory issues so I decided to see if I could actually keep a stable 3.6. The problem is...

I am not fond of the 97.02 drivers. I have had the most success with enthusiast tweaked drivers from Tweak r Us and Guru3d. I have not seen any 97.02 tweaked drivers or beta drivers supporting x86 XP. If anyone has an 8800GTX and is using drivers other than 97.02 and is happy with them...

What do you think is the best air and budget water cooling solution for this card. I have never taken the HSF off a Gcard before. I am not even sure if removing it and applying AS5 would be worth it or not. Regardless I am just looking for some ideas or direction in regards to modded cooling...

Float at the bottom of your Isopropyl bottle I have 2, one has been down there for close to two years

Was looking for a replacement cooler for my 8800GTX. I know little about GPU cooling and do not have access to a water cool setup atm. Is it worth it to install a 3rd party hsf to an 8800GTX? If so what are some of the better models available? I did read about a small affordable...

Are the new core 2 Duo processors really bad at multitasking? I get great performance in single apps but when I try to window and play a video with a game running the video will not run. My system is stable according to all benchmarks. I am overclocked @ 3.2 800 ram 4-4-4-12. 7950GX2 Vid...
