First a little background: I've been experiencing erratic boot issues for a while, which encouraged me to replace my aging motherboard/CPU/RAM. The problems were inconsistent, but often video output would cut out after POST, I would restart, say to load windows normally when it told me...

I really want to get the Scythe Mine heatsink but I've heard conflicting information regarding its compatibility with the P5B-E (plus) motherboard. Does anyone here have both of these or knows firsthand that the two do not work together?

I already have a thread on anandtech about this. If you do read it, be sure to get all the way to the end. OK. So my friend John has a birthday coming up in a week and my other friend and I were looking into getting him a new graphics card. He's since backed out of splitting a 7900 gs as it's...

I just built my new computer and have yet to change any BIOS settings. Should i set the memory voltage to 2.1v (the max for P5B-E)? I believe my memory is built to be run at that voltage. Is there any reason not to?

I just set up my new computer, installed programs, utilities, drivers, etc. and I'm loving it, but it's very loud. Here are my specs: Intel C2D e6600 Asus P5B-E Corsair HX520 Asus x1900pro Antec Solo (Rear TriCool, no intake fan) At first I tried the lowest chassis fan speed and...

I just found a 20% off coupon for Dell SB monitors, which would make the 2007wfp only $320 with free shipping and before taxes etc. Right now I have a 19" CRT and the Dell looks pretty appealing. I don't think I would be able to run much higher than its native resolution in most games so getting...

I just recently ordered parts for a new computer but have yet to buy a new keyboard. My primary concern is good key feel - not too stiff/mushy etc. I don't need it to be wireless or have any sort of back lighting. I think I remember trying an eclipse and the keys were weird - it seemed like it...

The Antec SOLO case is only 80 bucks minus a 30 dollar rebate at frys.com. Shipping is free too, although there is tax for at least California. I just bought this for $96 dollars, free shipping, no tax on amazon.com. This is driving me CRAZY!! If only shipping wasn't so much, I could return...

I'm gearing up to buy an x1950 pro and just noticed that both the ASUS and Sapphire versions are available on zipzoomfly. The Sapphire is 5 bucks more. Which one should I get?

I'm looking to build a new system based on an e6600. I was planning on getting the x1900xt 256mb but suddenly everyone ran out of stock at the same time. Now I'm planning on getting a x1950 pro since it seems to be a fairly decent card for a good price. The reason I'm getting such an inexpensive...

I'll be building a new system soon with 2g of memory (undecided as to which specific sticks) and an e6600. I had decided on the HIS x1900xt 256mb IceQ3 at around 275 on newegg until they ran out of stock and seemingly discontinued it. I found it at another online retailer but then they ran out...

Recently I've been looking at components to put into my first computer build. It feels like I'm getting pretty close but there are still things a few things that I can't decide on, most notably the motherboard. All the parts have to add up to $1500 or less after shipping, tax, and rebates. This...
