So I put together a SCII gaming rig for a friend: 1) A10-5800K 2) That FM2 ITX board that catches on fire. (Went through only 1 DOA :p, didn't catch on fire but probably had a bad bios flash) 3) G.Skill 2133mhz Ram @ 1.6v 4) CD/DVD Writer 5) Intel 240GB SSD Only problem is that I bought this...

http://www.fbtb.net/2012/07/15/us-toys-r-us-facebook-coupon-up-to-20-off/ In addition, there's a mastercard monday thing that's $25 off $125 which is... redundant? If they stack then its pretty epic.

I have a new system I built for cheap with old parts that I'm selling. What is a good graphics card for one of these running at 4GHz? Edit: None of the cores unlock.

Anyone want to trade me anything for it? I won't be playing and just got it as part of the Gift Pile Achievements. TO CLARIFY It seems like this is 1 Invite + Hardware Survey. The original invite is 3 Invites (1 for you and 2 for friends)...

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5176/amd-revises-bulldozer-transistor-count-12b-not-2b Summary: Apparently the PR department told everyone BD was 2 Billion Transistors while in reality it was 1.2 Billion. The leading theory is that the PR department was talking numbers from the server Opteron...

Has anyone who bought one started to play with them at all. I'm curious if its possible to undervolt them very much. Thanks!

Wasn't this thing also supposed to come out? Since it seems like the uber bulldozer parts are kinda meh unless you're hitting massive parallelism, when do the $100 quads come out? A $100 part that can give a 2500k a run for its money would be interesting to say the least.

I recently built a SG06 and bought 3 OEM drives. All 3 had a bad eject button. It seems to me this is some sort of firmware issue. Drives are: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118058 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106349 I have a...

I just put together my SG06 system and was getting some possible high temps. It idles at 45C and goes up to 61C under load. Is this normal? I have a H60 (using the thin 2000RPM Scythe fan running at 1500RPM). I don't have the hard drive case in so nothing is really impeding airflow (my hard...

Timings are kinda meh and it runs at 1333 but its a steal at $54. It apparently can be reliably clocked to 1600mhz on stock voltage if you so choose...

Does anyone know any specifics on how Antec deals with catastrophic leaks? Corsair has several cases of replacing component damaged by leaks. However, the 620 is new enough that there is no Antec track record of their dealings via google search. So does anyone know? I know the warranty says...

HP actually uses 4650HDs and other higher end cards on its entertainment notebooks so you could build a pretty good gaming laptop for ~$900. You can probably find better deals but the one I liked was for the DV7T. I can't remember my original build but I managed to get a 4650HD + P7550 + 4...

As to not clutter up the main thread for this mobo, I'm starting a new thread with my problems. I recently bought a P5E-VM HDMI but ran into lots of problems. At first I thought they were CPU related and I managed to clear some of them up by loosing the CPU Heat Sink(it was running at 50C...

:confused:My original post in the Mobo Forum: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1246118 I am deciding to repost this here because I probably should have posted for help in the SFF forum in the first place since I see more about mATX mobos here than there. Hopefully you guys can...

SPECS: OS: WinXP/Vista Dual Boot Proc: E6400 - Jan 07 Mobo: P5B-VM Memory: 2 GB GFX: 8800GTS 320MB Yesterday my computer was freezing up at POST while it was detecting/configuring USB stuff. I reset the CMOS and disabled the USB stuff and got it to boot correctly and kept it at default...

I have a P5B-VM in a Ultra Microfly Case. It's been working great, but ever since I put in a 8800 GTS 320mb, my NorthBridge has been running hot due its proximity to it. Should I be concerned at the 45 C NB temperature readings I'm getting?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814136010 I've never seen or heard of this company, did they start manufacturing video cards recently?

I don't have much experience with overclocking graphcis card but recently I went and grabbed a 8800 GTS 320. Today, I finally got around to booting up rivatuner and tinkering with the settings. I got a maximium core clock of 648/913 and stress tested it in 3DMark06. It seemed to be getting...

Today, I decided to install a dual boot of vista and get rid of my preexisting Windows 2K boot. The problem was that my Windows 2K boot(C:, Partition 0) was only 10 gigs so I didn't have enough space but I did have a app partition of 130 gigs(E:, Patition 1. So, I decided to repartition my...

I'm considering purchasing a Radeon soon and I'm wondering which OEM I should buy from. Which one has the best tech support, customer service, and warranty?

A guy at my dorm on my floor recently experienced the virtues of a ram stick going defective and killing Windows XP. I, being the only tech guy on the floor tried to help him retrieve files off of the drive. However, we ran into a problem. After I used my copy of Media Center to override his...

I finally got my replacement P5B-VM in the mail yesterday (Go Egg!!!) and I swapped out my temp ECS board for it. I have a few negging questions though. It seems my setup makes the P5B-VM really really quirky.. Don't get me wrong, it works. Its just hard to get it to start working. 1)...

I finally got my CPU and mobo today - a E6300 and a Asus P5B-VM. I finally finished connecting everything together after cutting myself a few times on the brushed aluminium but it won't turn on. The 'receiving power' LED on the board lights up and I've checked the connections several times but...

Does anyone have any good, recent benchmarks or performance stats for Intel's X3000 IGP? I'm going to end up having to buy a board with one and am wondering about how well it is (ands is expected to) perform.

I recently decided to build a PC and have ordered pretty much everything except my mobo and processor. Because I was trying to come in under $1200, I skimped on the ram and bought the cheapest stuff that could do 800mhz at 1.8. This is what I bought...

I read on Anandtech's review of the 680i that it has the ability to boost the speed of the PCIe slots by up to 25% to increase performance of highend Geforce cards - IE 8800s. Does this mean that 8800s can handle higher clockspeeds on PCIe's - IE 120mhz? My understanding of this feature is...

Um, today I received about half of the parts for my Microfly setup including my ThermalTake Blue Orb II. Those guys at newegg are right, this thing is HUGE. It WILL kill someone if you threw it at them. It weighs about 1/3 of my caseweight... So for those bought one of these, do you know...

Is there anyway to fix them?

The system I built came in about $100 underbudget when I crunched all the numbers and I'm wondering if I should get a 6600 instead of a 6400 c2d or should I save my money for when the R600 comes out. I'm building this system more for gaming than anything else though I will be doing some digtal...

I'm seriously considering buying the ASUS P5L-VM instead of the ASUS P5B-VM for overclocking with a E6300 or a E6400 but I'm not sure if I should go with it or not. The main problem I have is that I already bought my DDR2-800 and I don't want to have wasted $30 returning it to newegg will it...

I'm thinking about getting a 19'' wide screen and I was just wondering how older 4:3 aspect games would work on them. Does anyone know? I'm looking at the Hanns 19'' WS.

I just a few questions about the 1650s. I'm planning on getting a decent graphics card to tie me over to DX10, and I'm looking at these two to complement a 17 inch LCD display. 1) What are the price and performance difference between the X1650 pro and X1650XT? 2) Can they play today's...

Wow, after seeing the thread names in this forum, boy do I feel small. Anyway, I was wondering if it was worth getting a 19 inch over a 17 inch. I have a 17 inch and I think its pretty good but for my new computer I'm contemplating going to a 19 inch. I'm wondering if its really worth the...

How does increasing PCIe Bus speed impact a video card in there and is what's the danger limit on PCIe boosting with a card?

Hi, I'm new to the forums! I'm building a new system this winter as it seems like a perfect time to get some stuff for cheap especially with the Core 2 releases and the upcoming 8800. This is my preliminary buy list for a C2D system with light OCing and definite future expandability in...
