Looking to upgrade my wife's video card. She's currently rocking an ATI 4750. Hard ceiling is $100, no more. Currently playing Guild Wars 2 and Dungeons & Dragons Online.
Any suggestions?

You can finally stream movies directly from your WII console from Netflix starting this Friday. Netflix is sending out the WII discs.
Granted... the WII only puts out 480p, still it's something to look forward to if you already have a netflix acct (like me!) :)

I'm a big fan of Fallout 1, 2, & Tactics (still owning the original CDs). I was excited about Fallout 3, and got it on release day. With RPGs, I tend to savor them, and take my time. I played about 4 hours, and in that time, explored and left the vault, explored Megaton (first city outside the...
I got it installed and pretty happy with the temps. I don't have anything to compare it to. I used to have a Xigmatek RVT-S1283 in my previous system, but that was cooling a B3 Q6600. My new rig is a G0 Q6600.
The only real problem I had installing it is using the clips with the socket...

It's going with a Q6600 CPU & ATI 4870 video card
I read the other thread here (realtemp tjmax=85C vs coretemp tjmax=105C). This problem with the Q9450 seems a little different though.
My cousin just got a Q9450 but the temp seems off. No matter what HSF we use, the temps are the same!
Coretemp v98.1 (TJmax = 100C)
Room Ambient Temp =...
Okay, Coretemp, Speedfan, and Everest are all reporting the SAME temp, but it has to be off. I'm using all latest verions.
(IDLE)
CORE 1 = 26C
CORE2 = 18C
?!?!?!
Ambient room temp is at least 22C. I'm also getting a CASE Ambient temp of around 35C (HOT!). I'm using a cheap case...
I need a recommendation on a low-profile HSF for an AMD 5000+ CPU.
HARDWARE:
Case = Ultra MicroFly Case
CPU = AMD 5000+
The CPU gets pretty damn hot, Idling at 45C/40C (Core1/2). Under normal operating load, that climbs up past 50C.
I'm using the stock OEM HSF, but I'm wondering if...
2 versions. Makes for great gifts.

I'm in the process of building a PC for my girlfriend. She doen't play any of the latest 3d games, so onboard video is good. She does use dual monitors religously.
Anyway, I'm down to the motherboard/cpu. Here are my 2 choices:

Unless you've been living in a cave, I think everyone knows about the Cooler Master GeminII heatsink. One of the largest heatsinks on the market being able to house 2x 120mm fans.
The Kingwin Revolution RVT-12025 is much lesser well-known unless you've heard about the Xigmatek HDT-S1283. The...
I know that the male 4pin connectors from a PSU can work in the female 8pin connectors on the motherboard, but what is the advantages does the 8pin have over using the 4pin?

Forgive me if this has been posted already.
I JUST received my step-up 8800GT from eVGA (including free Quake Wars). On the same day, I received my ARCTIC COOLING Accelero S1 VGA Cooler from Newegg! It was a nice suprise to get both packages on the same day.
Anyway, after work... then after attending my girlfriend's daughter's 8th...
Huh... talk about under-whelming fan fare.

CPU-Z is reporting my CPU at running at 1.6GHz (6 x 266MHz).
Core Temp and nTune are reporting that is running normal at 2.4GHz (9x 266MHz).
What's the deal?
