All four cores running %100 yields 55-60 C under Core Temp.

I love [H]ardforum, I love it dearly. I just finished getting my Q6600 up to 3.0 Ghz without ever having to ask a single question. I just want you guys to know there are a few of us out there that are thankful for all the knowledge you've made available for us to grab. So much so, you're...

I have a new system that I seem to be having a great deal of trouble with. My trouble seems to be coming down to my system shorting out. It'll just turn off randomly. I've been extra careful with my standoffs, and even tried putting in some rubber washers. My shorts seem to be coming from...

I sent in a P45 Neo-3 FR this week for an RMA. Many of you here on the forum helped me trouble shoot my dead system. I got this e-mail back today: They attached this picture: I had a local vendor review the board the day before I sent the board back to MSI and they said it was...

For those who were following and were involved in my computer crisis, it was indeed the motherboard. When it failed it did not take anything else with it. ~Cheers

So I boot up my comp today and hear a POP and the comp won't boot up. The only thing I can see after opening the case is that the VidCard Fan is not spinning, but the light is on. I don't know why that would keep the comp from booting up so it looks like I might have to RMA the whole system...

I had to RMA some RAM back to Newegg which arrived today. I put the RAM in and boot up the PC and it got stuck on the boot screen. So I reset my CMOS with the jumper and it seemed to start just fine, but it would not detect my second hard drive, which is trouble for a RAID configuration ...

I started a similar thread a little while ago and didn't get any response to one question: Can those of us with non-XFX 280 cards petition the other manufacturers for rebates in some form? I have an ASUS 280 I got for $599. Who can I pester?

XFX is doing this, do we know if any of the other manufacturers are planning on doing this? Who can we bug at the manufacturers to follow?

When I boot up, my computer feezes after post and sits there with the "press del to enter setup" screen. If I hit delete, the system shows "loading setup" but never makes it to the bios. Any ideas? (Brand new computer in my sig, worked fine for 2-3 days. Stopped working on a reboot for a...

I got a 4GB memory kit (2x2) and one of the sticks was bad and one was good. Do they allow me to RMA just one stick or do I have to send both back?!?

Brand new computer, put it together today. I doubled checked all my wires to make sure everything was connected correctly and securely. Everything seems to be good, and yet when I hit the power button I get nothing at all. It feels like my system isn't getting and juice. I have an MSI P45 Neo3...

Just got all my wires routed, everything looks great, push the button and ... nothing! Not sure what's up, the only thing I can think of is that the MB has a 24 PIN power slot, and a seperate 4 PIN CPU slot. It looks like the 4 PIN slot is only if you have an existing 20 PIN PSU and can get...

I mounted my CPU with a Zalman 9500AT cooler. The mounting bracket makes it hard to get some of the screws in near the CPU, to the point that it bends my MB a little and I have to push down pretty hard to get the screw to fit. I'm not comfortable with that. My MB seems to be in pretty solid...

Had a link to a guide which showed the best "shapes" to apply thermal grease with.

You are my last line of defense! I saved up $1600 for a new system to replace my aging Nforce 2 Athlon 3000 GeForce 6800 GT build and feel as though I'm ready to go. Someone pleeeease let me know if I'm making any huge mistakes: Samsung SH-S202N DVD player w/ Lightscribe NZXT Hush Case (I...

I'm ordering my system today and want to make sure Newegg only sells G0 Q6600's.

I'm building a new system and am thinking of just doing a Raid 1 Setup with a boot partition. What's all the fuss about a seperate drive?

Quick question, can't get enough info to tell for sure.

I'm builiding a new system with a Q6600 or Q9450 and want to start with one, but possibly end up with 2 4870 or 4870X2 Video Card's. Will a P34/P45 with 16x/8x do just fine or will I need 16x/16x? I understand it may be a different answer for each card as one is more data hungry than the...

I'm consider a lot of things for my upcoming computer. I really like the idea of a single slot solution, but I hear the 4850 gets really hot. How is noise? Anyone out there played with both cards and hear a noticable difference?

If I were to trust Anand, I would think that the 280 GTX was a worse card with a worse gaming experience than the 9800 GX2 for more money! Judging by their performance curve, I would look like a moron buying a 280 GTX. Then I come over the the [H] and see that the GTX 280 blows the 9800 GX2...

I do a lot of onsite audio recording and need a cooler that is pretty lightweight, but could also hold a Q6600 at around 3.0 ghz on an eVGA 750i FTW. I seem to hear a lot of good things about the Zalman 8700 and the Arctic 7, any takers?

I can't tell for sure by the demensions. Will this fit?

I'm finishing up a system build and seem to be happy with the ASUS P5K-E MB. I'm going to be running 4 GB of 1066 DDR2 on Windows XP 32 bit. I run audio apps mostly for home recording and my software is built for XP 32. Is this going to be a problem?

So I'm one of those people who's been waiting far too long to upgrade their computer. I'm mostly decided on my build now that I've learned an ASUS P5N-E does not play well with Quad Core's because of it's weak FSB speeds. But I'm on the video card channel, right? Totally, so here's my...

I'm currently in a bit of a conundrum. I'm looking for a computer that can do everything and I keep running into shortcomings. I do a lot of on location recording, so I need a system that is extremely portable like a laptop. I also like to play a lot of games, so I want something that can hold...

Anyone know about this guy? I did a forum search for T241W and didn't come up with anything. Cheers http://www.benq.us/products/LCD/?product=754

I ask this knowing that there are COUNTLESS threads on which monitor is the best for gaming. It seems, though, that you either need to find a Sony FW900 on Ebay, or use a vx922 or something of the like if you really want to game. There seems to be some level of sacrifice at every level...
