Congrats! and awsome setup love the desk need to buy myself a new one.

Loose the fans and get a better case. 80mm fans are loud and youll hear them over everything else so its pointless buying fans. For 190 you can get a: Acer X233Hbid Black 23" 5ms HDMI Full 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor - Retail My mate has an LG 22" and they look exactly the same in image...

raid 0 is unrelaible. i was overclocking my pc, it crashed good bye data. boot into the rado bios. i press like ctrl+l or something on mine when the computer boots up and it will tell u if there both still member disks and if the raid is working.

3 Cores with a higher clock will give you better performance for gaming but 4 cores will definatly give you better performance for video encoding. depending on what you use though, eg divx takes advange of 4 cores xvid isnt very very multi core friendly

ofcourse it be better maybe even for all of them. however you are looking at a new cpu, motherboard and ram. all at premium prices. worth the money i think not. OC your Q6600 costs nothing and will give you a nice boost. on auto settings im running 3.4ghz although i cant go much higher lol...

really? ive tried it on 2 different computers though. 2G ram my grpahics card 4850. the only thing is the cpu. is there a patch or something you need to install?

This game is unplayable on AM2 X2 cpus for some reason. my mate has a 4400+ at 2.4ghz i think and as soon as opening the game it hits 100% cpu usage and crashes it takes multiple attemps to get the game running. the same thing happens on my other computer which has a am2 5200+ at 3ghz...

try running some other games or 3d aplications and see if it works. it could simply be a driver issue or the card failing. i would use driver cleaner pro to completely remove the driver and reinstall it. check that your guildwars resolution is with the screens cababilities, u might have it...

my brother got an ipod touch, you have to convert every single video you wanna put on it, as it only supports mpg4. i have his old creative zen 30G which you can pretty much drag and drop. also you have to use itunes with the ipod and you can only have it synced to one computer and its really...

silverstone tj07. Awsome design and airflow, Great looks. Heaps of space. and great for upgrading to water cooling. Can also hold plenty of hard drives without cramming and 2 psu's. wont need anouther case in a long time! best bang for buck i recon though is cooler master stacker 810

lol a 1.2kw psu is totaly unnecessary for 99% of cases. if you get a good name brand 600W or even 500 depending on what parts you using youll be more then right. I recommend one of the corsair ones.

i went from all nivida to my current card and ive had no issues with it at all. the catalyst control centre seems to crash alot but i never use it after i set it up. as far as the card go the 260 and 280 are much better then the 4870. im not 100% sure on how the otherone performs as its a...

G5 is good. or cheaper a MX 518

120 delta are VERY loud. if your computer currently sounds like a V8 3 deltas will we like taking exhaust of your V8. even with a fan speed control they make a very annoying clicking noise. you can get Sunon fans that do 100 cfm or some scythes that do 50. 120 deltas are not designed for pc use...

haha 80 in the bios thats crazy. i load at 45 but thats overclocked and with aftermarket cooling. i think stock idle is like 20 to 30 with the stock cooler.

no those arnt even load temps. you must not have put the cooler on properly. the intel one is a pretty stupid design. try securing it properly u should be idling at less that half of that those are very high 100% load temps. otherwise by a new cooler

yeah thats the problem is the stupid tubing size but it runs so cool with all that copper anyway it can get past 500 fsb which is huge anyway. Why did your asus board suck ive had high end asus boards and loved them.

well pretty much any full sizes case can take 7 hard drives if u use a hard drive cage. depends on if you have size limitations and also cost. Small and cheap cases would be cramped and or not provide mcuh cooling so your hds are gonna be running hot expecaly if you have 7 and cable managment...

for less then the price of a waterblock you can get the p45 extreme which comes with a nb waterblock and a heatpipe cooler that takes a pci slot for extra cooling. you can have both at the same time too. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2860

amd X2 are so out of date it doesnt even matter ive got a 5200 at 3ghz and it struggles to run dow2 with a 4850. save ur money and get a conroe or phenom

just play tf2 and see if your cpu is at 100% usuage. im not sure how well tf2 is with dual cores but easy was too see. if both cores are around the same value eg (50% 45%) then its not your cpu if one is at 100% and the other at like 10% then tf2 isnt dual core friendly and u need a new cpu same...

a 9600 gt would be fine any more would be overkill for the cpu. i tried running my 4850 on my mates computer with a 4400 and couldnt even play dow2 on low settings.

ahh ok i assumed you had a really bad graphics hard cause u didnt mention. thats more then fine for tf2. However u are not able to use the full power of your card cause you are cpu limited. my mate has AM2 X2 4200 and can barely run dow2 even with a 9800 GTX+ Wack a conroe in there and you...

lol its not your ram thats the problem. its your graphics card most likely, that cpu should be fine for tf2 ive played it on worse. No game really even uses 2G of ram atm and 667 is fine even for some conroe cpus so dont waste your money on ram. if you just wanna play tf2 get a mdrange graphics...

yeah u can see on the picture that the slots arnt the same. im pretty sure u wont be able to mix them either, does anyone know?

where do you live you might have a high ambient temp. your gpu looks abit high too. thats a pretty high overlock for q6600 on air though. post your non oc temps

It has more fsb (1333) and a slightlu higher clock per core (2.5) so youd get slight performance increase from that but it had half the cache which will hurt you more. The Q6600 is much better for ocing lower fsb and higher mulitpler 7.5 for the 8300 vs 9 for the 6600. it does have a...

Definatly go to 4G. Unless your really serious about overclocking. DDR2 800 can get you to 400mhz FSB anyway which on the Q6600 is 3.4ghz from memory. Increasing Ram speeds doesnt really give any real world performance. The only way youll notice is with benchmarking tools. youd probiably...

i got a Q6600 and a gigabyte P45 Extreme. running at 3ghz now @ 1.325 which is the stock volatage. P45 is a great overclock chip you can;t really go wrong im limited by heat at the moment the highest ive got so far is 3.6 but i didn;t wanna go any futher cause even at that speed my cpu was...

ofcourse mixing ram works its just not ideal, expecialy for overclocking. if you mix memory that uses different voltages, timings and frequency you might run into problems or just loose performace. eg you mix a ddr2 800 stick with a ddr2 667 stick you will have to run both at 667. ofcourse...

you are correct, ddr2 - 800 will give you 1600 in a 1;1 ratio, ram is doubled so 400 gives you 800 and fsb is multiplied by 4 so 400 gives you 1600. u can overclock your ram by raising voltage and loosening timings helps. you should be able to get 450 easly maybe even 500 depending on the ram...

As it should say in my sig i have same mobo, you can use use any PCI-E or PCI-E 2 card with it, even SLI. So the best card you could get would be the 9800GX2 lol, but a 8800gt which you can pick up for real cheap these days will blow you away if you currently running a 7600. The 9 series is...

I still got a 7800 GTX and still very happy with it. see no need for upgrading at the moment, still plays all the game i love nicely, only got a 19" lcd also

Well for starters my mouse is as loud as a rapest in a bush so i wouldn't recommend it but some of the razer (copper head, death adder and new one mouses look like they might be quiet, they have big rubber buttons.

Wow they actualy toped the 2900XT in failness. letssee there crapping power consumption again, crappy performance and now they can't even get the pricing right. The Q6600 beats down on every one of the phenom's even though its only in the price range of the 2.3ghz model. WTF AMD?

True but, its a lan not exactly a case mod compatition. These are just guys that brought their pc's along to the lan and they so happened to be the best ones there.

Asus A8N SLI premium or Asus A8NSLI32 deluxe best 939 board out there. specs in sig, im also running a 7800 gtx runs great no problems and great overclocking board too.

well ive discoved that CPU is much more benaficial as you can generaly overclock it more than a graphics card,. For some reason i get almost no performance increase from overclocking my graphics card. Im probiably cpu limited though. Why not do both or just try both and see which offers more...

Well my vote would defanatly be the Silverstone TJ07. Theres a whole bottom section you can put your setup in keeping it looking clean, seen here http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=449081

lol take the lead back with the same card? this is essentialy a 2900XT with a die shrink. ATI just wanted to get of the 2900 name because it has such a bad rep. i hope they didn't put to much effort into this card and have the next one lined up, cause nvidia 9800 looks really nice on paper so...
