Great game, 70 hours of play and I've only had 2 crashes. Not a big problem if you ask me.

Seasonic M12-II 430w PSU by the way, rest of the specs are in sig.

Okay so this morning I turned on my PC to find that pesky "NTLDR is missing" error. Puzzled, I restarted it a few times and the same thing happened. I decided to open up my case to make sure the SATA cables were plugged in correctly. While I was fiddling around in there, I noticed my fingers...

How do you like it? I've got the X38 LT and I'm really happy with it, glad I decided not to go with Asus this time.

If you intend to overclock you'll probably want the Q6600. I like my Q9300.

Lol, what he said.

I would take the TN. I've got a Samsung 22" TN and was worried I wouldn't like it at first but I ended up loving it despite all the bad things I hear about TN panels. The only thing I don't like is the backlight bleed, but it's only noticeable on a completely black screen.

I lol'd. OMG what are we all doing with DDR2 it's totally dead now that DDR3 is out!!!1111oneone

Very High plays the about the same, but I don't have Vista so I had to tweak those files to get it to work like that. And yeah I guess I forgot to mention I'm playing at 1680x1050, but even with 2x AA I find it quite playable at High/Very High on XP. I guess it's because my monitor isn't as...

Crysis plays fine on the rig in the sig at all High and 2x AA. Noticably choppy here and there, but nowhere near unplayable. So what's the deal with all this I hear about Crysis bringing the latest hardware "to its knees"?

I like my Q9300!

My 8800GTS 512 was awesome for $250, still waiting on that $20 rebate but even if I don't get it it was worth it. Crysis is very playable all High 2x AA at 1680x1050 with this thing.

If you're willing to spend a bit more you could go with one of the new 45nm processors. E7200, E8200, or E8400. They are probably a little overkill if you don't plan to do anything processor-intensive, but at least you'll know your computer will be blazing fast for the next few years. :)

When mine went in it did not feel very secure. It doesn't "snap into place" as you might expect. As long as you can stand it up and it doesn't fall off if you shake your desk it should be good to go. Yes it will be a little wobbly but I guess thats what we get for not going for a more...

I have a DFI X38 and Q9300. Have not really tried to push it very far, but I think you will be very satisfied, this board was definitely made for overclockers. Any limitations you run into would probably be due to the chipset or processor.

Was probably advertising solid capacitors. Gigabyte's been calling their boards "Ultra Durable" since they started using all solid caps.

I'm very satisfied with my DFI board. There are tons of options in the BIOS but you don't have to mess with them if you don't want to. On mine most everything is set to auto/default and everything is rock solid stable.

Unfortunately, that's the one configuration that you can't use with the NV120 and DFI's stock northbridge heatsink. That was originally how I wanted to set it up but the Nirvana's fan hits the DFI heatsink.

Just installed it five minutes ago. It fit perfectly, I didn't have to bend any fins or anything. Get the DFI, you won't regret it! Here's a quick shot from my phone:

Can you please post a working link to that overclockersclub review? I just ordered an NV120 and DFI X38 LT... I hope it all fits! EDIT: Was this the link you tried to post? http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/zerotherm_nirvana_review/3.htm From the pics there it looks like it...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813136045 DFI X38 DK is the cheapest X38 board, and probably still one of the best. I just ordered the more expensive LT version, should be pretty awesome.

I just got one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150267 To go with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001268 Don't have the video card yet, but the monitor is awesome. My monitor is actually the older 2232, that new one is...

Quick question, if RealTemp hasn't been properly calibrated then will both idle AND load temperatures possibly be inaccurate? Or just idle?

Does the GH2 controller work with GH3 also? If so then I will definitely pick this up. NVM I just called my local store and they said they wouldn't price match. :(

This looks like a great chip for a budget system. I think it's pretty obvious it wasn't aimed at overclockers. I just bought one for my dad's P35-DS3L, I think it'll be perfect for that system.

8800GTS or 9800GTX. The 9600 is for budget gamers.

Looks like a new Wolfdale is out, and only $140... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115052

I dont see how getting a game, duffel bag, art book, safe deposit box collector's thing, and soundtrack for $75 is such a bad deal. But when I look at it on buy.com it says I'll only save $10 with Google Checkout... What gives?

Depends on if you plan on overclocking or not. Most people say it's best to run your RAM at a 1:1 ratio with your FSB, so at stock CPU frequencies you will probably end up underclocking your memory to DDR2 667. With a quad I doubt you'll be going over 500mhz FSB, so that means you won't have...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813136046 It says "Deactivated item". No idea what that means but wouldn't they just put "Out of stock" if it was out of stock?

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1289320 Looks like an awesome board but it's been deactivated on Newegg now :(

Hey all, I want to get a new MP3 player. I have a first-generation Halo edition Zune, I have also used a video iPod in the past. They are fine, but the Zune is a bit too bulky and they both made me install their retarded software on my computer to use them. Here's what I'm looking for in an MP3...

Funny you should start this thread, I was thinking the same thing! Right now I'm using an AGP 9800Pro... And my next card is probably going to be a 9800GTX.

Fixed.

I have a CMO-panel Samsung 2232BW which I use for gaming and I think it's great. If a little bit of backlight bleed on all-black screens doesn't bother you then I wouldn't worry about the "panel lottery" issue. I ended up getting the worst but I am still very satisfied.

Digital does not need adjustment, the picture is always perfectly aligned on my 2232BW when using the DVI port while the VGA port sometimes needs manual adjusting.

With that choice I would go with an E8400 to avoid any compatibility issues. They are pretty much the same processor so the Xeon should work fine, but I just don't feel comfortable putting a server processor in a desktop motherboard. That's just me though, if I had trouble finding an E8400 at a...

How about DFI? ;)

Got mine for $99 shipped, but missed out on the rebate. :/

I'm pretty sure there is a setting for this in the BIOS. You'll just have to look around the menus and see what you find.
