1. Yes I would consider liquid cooling for my GPU because I am currently considering going liquid cooling for my CPU as well for my new build. 2. Pre installed might be a good idea for some due to ease but I wouldn't mind either way and I think having options is always good.

Actually i asked one of the sales guys and they said as long as I have the receipt and its within 15 days they will honor it and give me the $40 off a motherboard, but if that fails I can just return the CPU within the time period and rebuy it because its not even opened, but regardless I am...

I was trying to before.... even tried to get an electrician to modify my outlets for 30AMP outlets so I could use the full 1600w LOL.. No more.. its just sitting there so I might as well use it now instead of buying a new PSU The PSU was like my R.A.T. 9 Mouse I bought a long time ago and...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Mostly Gaming & Web Browsing and some Photoshop 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $400-$500 (not counting Tax and Shipping) I am just looking to buy a Motherboard/RAM/CPU Cooler/Blu-Ray...

I don't need it but I want it for the sake of winning something for once. I still have a 7800 GTX and a 280 GTX for other computers but this one could be a start in building my new system. I haven't upgraded or bought anything computer related in 3-4 years.

After reading this and that, I think for my search for a 30" monitor, I am going to get me a Dell 3007WFP-HC. Now what prices have you guys paid for this monitor before taxes and delivery? I might just end up waiting for something like a 25% off the price or some kind of sale from Dell...

Cool, glad its working for you, tho for my peace of mind, I would of probably put a repeater at 20' or so. I am betting for shorter cables there isn't too much of a difference, but for the longer ones as you mentioned (50' and etc), I am not too surprised with the results. Personally, I...

So can I run my Q6600 and a 280GTX on a Corsair HX620W?? Man I hope not to ask these questions on my near future build with my Ultra 1600 X3 I purchased last year.... Sigh..

I bet diagrams would be so much clearer to explain what I was trying to say. hehe. Regardless I do understand. But I do want to try to explain why I was confused. (Let's not think of the PSU being a single rail for the moment, and think of it as terms of number of output plugs it is)...

Didn't mean to confuse.. Let me see if I can clear this up. Basically, what I am asking is, can I hook up one 280GTX using just one of the 6 pin (12v) rails if one cable splits into 6 pin and a 8 pin? If I may ask, how are you powering up your card(s)? Just want an example I guess.

I noticed that my Corsair HX620W only came with two 6pin PCI-E cables and no 8 pin for the new video card I just got (Evga 280GTX), so I sent them email that I needed a 8 pin PCI-E cable. (Good customer service, replying back within a day and got my cable within 3 business days excluding the...

Here is my build finally. Sheesh too many problems here and there (cutting hole issues, aluminum bottom feet issues, paint issues, many more lol) This is my first attempt at cable management and case modding. I been looking at this thread for a while now trying to see what I could do for...

1080p is 1920 x 1080 Hmmm interesting, only a HDMI port

I have the exact same problem right now with my new 9800 GTX. I tried updating the driver, and still no help as well. I think its the video card and it is probably running hot. First time it happened, I turned my comp off for a few hours and it was fine then it came back. I put a ton...

Right now its constant. I turned it off for a few hours and booted it and same thing. It only happens to video and in any 3D games. I will try to get a infrared temp reader so I can measure the card but other than that I don't know how I could measure the temp of the card. I might just...

Just yesterday while playing video (files) or any 3D game my screen started to glitch all over. I installed new drivers and still its a problem. I also mabye thought the monitor might be having issues so I switched monitors and same problem. Any solutions? Please Help!

I just updated the Bios but it will not allow me to overclock. I have tried many times but goes back to stock 2.4. Please help??

I just recently built my computer. When you save to CMOS and exit is it supposed to turn off and on a few times before it actually turns and and loads for this motherboard (Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L)?? What happened to the search thread feature?? I was trying to look up optimized cpu core...

Just recently bought an evga 9800 GTX, should I bother to step up and to which card?? Any recommendations?

LOL, says I am a noob so I am asking a noob question :p!

Can anyone tell me what the little female plug on the side of the eVGA 9800 GTX is for?? Also from my cosair 620HX, can I use one 6 pin power port and split it up to hook it to the card or do I need to dedicate both ports on the power supply to the card?

It's called case modding lol.. anyways.. So does it matter as long as it has ventilation, which side the fan is supposed to be on?? I also have the ULTRA X3 1600w in my TJ10 for a future project and I know there are grates on the bottom for air so for that as well, do I mount the Fan...

I totally understand, because the upside down letters are just bothering me (I just purchased a HX620w as well) but mainly because when the PSU is upside down the power cables are on the window side, so I need to keep it right side up so in order to do that, I am going to cut a hole on the...

LOL, just like to have options just incase. BTW, I do have 2 24" monitors and plan on getting a 30" later. I really like this Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L board, but funny thing is that I just realized that it's lacking is a 1394 internal port after looking for one but I guess I can just buy a PCI...

Thanks, It's for an Antec 900 case. I know there is small gap under so I guess its okay fan side down.!

I just received my Corsair HX620W. I always wondered which side up on these damn PSUs. I usually thought the Fan side up. The Corsair HX620W has the fan on the bottom if the letters are right side up. Which way are you supposed to mount this thing?? Fan up or Fan side on the bottom? I...

I just recently purchased the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L. What are good mobo choices from this if I want to go SLI and to overclock my Q6600? Is there a SLI version of the GA-P35-DS3L?]

Thanks for all your help. I will go with your suggestion. CPU - Q6600 ($199) Mobo - Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L ($90) Heatsink - XIGMATEK HD-S1283 ($37) RAM - G.Skill 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800 5-5-5-15 ($77) GPU - EVGA Nvidia 8800 GTS 512MB ($200 - $220) Power supply - SILVERSTONE ST50F ATX12V...

I am hoping to get a 30" monitor soon and I was thinking between the Dell 3007WFP-HC or the Dell 3008WFP. This will be strictly a computer monitor and I will not be hooking it up to anything other than that, and mostly for games, some picture editing and videos. Any suggestions?

For my Main build I can wait (I only have the TJ10 and the 1600W X3 Ultra just sitting around and yes I need to find an electrician to up my amps in the room so it won't shut down if I run this thing with say my TV or something LOL and yes I need to add a 20 AMP socket as well), we will see what...

Sorry didn't mean to be so vague, but thanks for the example, it's a good start. I want to spend around $500 but willing to spend up to $700. I hope to overclock it a little bit either it be Q6600 or Q9450. I have a few extra 120mm Scythe S-FLEX SFF21F that I didn't use in my...

1) I will spend up to what is necessary I guess 2) CPU/Motherboard/RAM/GPU/ 3) I have seen a few but I guess I need to check them out a bit more.

Right now I have a AMD 64 4000+ with an EVGA 7800GTX ACS KO 256 meg with 2 gigs of ram, 500w Antec Shadow, thats the gist of it. I was thinking of doing a mid upgrade and making this my 2nd computer when I do my major upgrade much later this year, but use it as my primary while I wait. I am...

Is it worth buying it at $1400?? I just called and they were willing at that price but I wanted it at $1200.. LOL Still its around $100- $150 more for tax and shipping on top of that anways.
