Sabertooth 990fx board - $160 Shipped http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131736 I have only had the board for a few months with light use. My plan was to pair it with a bulldozer chip but I ended up going with Intel instead. I was runnning the board with a x2 555 BE...

SOLD!!!!! There comes a time when you upgrade even if you don't have to. Recently just jumped on the 2700K deal so the old stuff has to go. I'd like to sell everything as a bundle. I could possibly part it out if I find buyers for all items but the only mounting hardware I have for the H50...

So I really made the transition from a really old Razer mouse to this G500. I actually really like the new mouse but I've had a problem with it since day one. The scroll wheel click does not register. It doesn't do anything and I can't get it to do anything. I've configured it properly...

First time posting in the computer audio section. I'm a complete noob when it comes to computer/home audio but I've done car audio for over 10 years. I'm currently on the prowl for some active monitors for my computer. Something cheapish under $200. I figured I'd check craigslist and found...

I recently swapped out motherboards. I went from a Biostar TP45HP to an Asus P5E. On the Biostar I was overclocked to 3.4ghz on my Q6600 with speedstep enabled. With this set up, when my cpu was idle both the multiplier and voltage would drop. This was pretty nice as my voltage wasn't at 1.45...

With the 5XXX cards being out for awhile now, I'm seeing used 4870X2 cards dropping down to $200. Would you guys consider this a good buy? I just ordered a 24" Dell ultrasharp to replace my 22" Samsung. Currently im on a 512mb 4870 and I'm sure I'll gonna need a little bit more punch to run...

I just swapped my computer guts into a new case and got this strange bios error upon boot up. Anyone know what this error refers to? I've read up on it a little bit and everyone who experiences this error is unable to use their keyboard. However, I can still use my keyboard. I've done all of...

So I took my 2693HM from Mississippi to Washington on Continental Airlines packaged in the OEM packing box. Well it sat at my house for 6 months and I finally plugged it in today to find that the screen is cracked to hell. So what can I do with this? Any awesome mods I can do? Im sure...

When Win7 starts up I realize alot of the settings and stuff I set are getting reset. I make my buddy list a little bigger because it cuts off alot of the longer screen names, I click the tab to hide offline screen names, and I set my folder view to "list." However, everytime I restart...

Just installed Win7 a few moments ago. Seems ALOT like Vista but I noticed it uses less resources. Still the same annoying UAC crap and a weird taskbar I'm not sure if I like. The only problem I've encountered is with my onboard realtek audio. I downloaded the most recent drive release which...

In an effort to get some friends together for a L4D group buy, my friend just informed me that he picked up L4D for $29.99 at CC which is around $5 dollars cheaper than doing the steam group buy after tax! YMMV! Friend in Portland, OR got it for $29.99 Brother in Coco Beach, FL got it...

I just made a very delayed jump to Vista from XP and so far I'm really happy. My 4gb of ram actually shows up as 4gb!!!! Everything works the way it should except for my Realtek Audio. In XP if I plugged my headset into the front connector of my case it would simultaneously play sound through...

Does anyone know of any good drivebay coolers? I'm currently looking at the Silverstone CFP51-B but man is that a steep price. I mean it looks really really good but $50 is alot. So anyone know of any other similar products that have some sort of dust filter?

I know that the point of [H]ardocp is to discuss [H]ardware...but some of us have lives outside of computers and sometimes we would like to share things that aren't related to computers with our fellow forum members. Has the idea of implementing a general discussion or offtopic section ever...

Everytime I try to install the drivers I get a Zero Display Service Error! ARGH it's frustrating and I don't know why. I tried installing through device manager and it still won't go...anyone install this new driver yet? I know it's still early in the morning. So what happens is i install the...

So I'm in Mississippi and I'm freezing my butt off lol. It's about 60* in my house right now. I've lived in the Pacific Northwest for 21 years of my life but somehow the warm weather down here has changed my cold tolerances in the last 3 months. Anyways I had to take a peek at my...

Anyone have any experiences with processing rebates through myrebates411.com? I purchased a Sapphire 4850 and Sapphire uses that company has a third party clearing house and their service is just atrocious. My rebate was denied because I didn't write "Newegg.com" on the back side of the...

This is my first Intel build and although I've gotten it to run great, I still have a few questions. System specs are located in my sig. Vdroop My Q6600 has a 1.325 VID. Now I have the vcore in the bios set to 1.385 in order to obtain my 3.3ghz overclock. I ran a Intel Burntest today and...

I've had my 4870 in for like 2 days and all of a sudden I start getting artifacts....then later I get nothing but black screen and crazy colors. I went to take it out and it was freaking hot! Like it hurt to even touch the plastic. So I let it cool down....plug it back in and take note that yes...

I just got done building my a computer for my little brother. I went with the TP45HP cause it's cheap and the E7200 cause it's also cheap. I intended to overclock the CPU only to like 3ghz but I went ahead and tried 400mhz fsb to try and maintain a 1:1 memory ratio. Well...with all the settings...

So Warhead runs pretty good on my 4870...well it looks good and I get around 25-30fps with mixed gamer/enthusiast settings. Last night I decided to try some AA to see how big of a hit it would take. With only 2x AA I was getting 3fps....it was weird. Now yeah it's a graphically intense game and...

I have a Biostar TP45HP and it seems like I need 3 power connectors for ati overdrive to work. The two pci 6 pins and also a molex connector on the motherboard thats used for addt'l GPU power. Now I thought they molex on the motherboard was for if you crossfire...but shouldn't two 6 pin pci...

For some reason when I was shopping at Newegg I couldn't find the TP45 HP board so I settled for the TP43. The next day I found the TP45 on Newegg it was just that they scrunched the letter together "TP45HP" so I couldn't search for just "TP45." Anyways I was pretty bummed. So I got the...

I just moved to Biloxi, MS where anything that is remotely cool seems to be nonexistant. At home I had Comcast which in my opinion was awesome. It was damn near unlimited and would do over 6mb/s. Comcast has been the only broadband provider that I have ever dealt with. So in Biloxi my choices...

***Posting here since I wasn't getting any replies in OC/Cooling*** I've already bought the Xigmatek S1283 cooler and now I'm looking for a mobo. What I've narrowed it down to: BIOSTAR TP43 HP DFI DK X38-T2RB I have yet to decide if I really do need crossfire ability. But my concern...

I've been lurking on [H] for a long time and have decided to join to get some advice on a new system build. Anyways I got a great deal on two Samsung 2693HM's and would like to sell one off. Being a more expensive item would it be hard for me to sell on [H]? I wanna know cause the monitor is...

I've already bought the Xigmatek S1283 cooler and now I'm looking for a mobo. What I've narrowed it down to: Biostar TP43 HP DFI DK X38-T2RB I have yet to decide if I really do need crossfire ability. But my concern is that both of these boards have larger than normal heatsinks around...

Woot.com has a REFURB 30gb Ipod Video for $135 shipped...not too shabby.

So I just bought a Samsung 2693HM and was looking for reviews when I stumbled on a review at testfreaks.com. Anyways when you click on "read full review" it sends you to the review section for the product on newegg lol.:eek:. Testfreaks uses a 10 point rating system so they just double the...

I had to take my T260HD back cause there were 5 dead pixels....they didn't have another one there besides the display model..so I looked around and saw that 2693HM was on sale for $341.99 so I grabbed it. When the cashier rang up it came to $284.99!!!!!!! That's insane.

I ordered a Xigmatek heatsink from newegg and when it came i saw that the box was mangled. The bottom right corner was crushed and even the plastic window was split open. So I called newegg and to my dismay...they sent me a replacement one for for free and let me keep the damaged one i have...

I want to lap my cpu and heatsink. My first question is I have a Xigmatek rifle cooler where the heat pipes are integrated into the contact base of the heatsink.....can i still lap this this heatsink? All of the lapped heatsinks ive seen have a one piece contact base...with the integrated heat...

I'm in the market for a monitor and currently have narrowed it down to two options. First is the Dell E248WFP which is $290 from Best Buy. It's sold out online and I'd have to drive an hour away to get it. Next is the Gateway 2485W which is on sale for $320 from a forum member. The Gateway would...

So I just moved to Biloxi, MS from the NW where newegg stuff takes 3 days to get to my house when ordered....but yesterday I ordered new PSU, ram, and cpu cooler at around 6pm and I just got the stuff today at 12:45pm. That's insane. It's freaking awesome. That's like ordering parts, sleeping...

I know this question has been asked to death in the past but I haven't seen anything pertaining to it recently...I will be purchasing a Q6600 from Newegg and was wondering if all of the B3 stepping models have been cleared out yet? I mean it's been a really long time since the G0 stepping came...

This is my first Intel build ever...I have a budget of $1000 and this came out to $992 out of pocket and $897 after MIR. Any suggestions or substitutions? I'm currently gaming on a 27" Viewsonic 720p LCD TV at 1280x720 but I'm buying a 4870 just in case a 24" monitor screams out at me...

I'm interesting in purchasing a DFI DK X38-T2RB but I also noticed there's an DFI DK X38-T2R...without the B. Anyone know what the differences are? They are both priced exactly the same...however the B model does have better cooling it looks like. Is there anything else? Also any objections to...

This is my first Intel build ever and with my previous X2 set up the motherboard stated DDR2-800 is the memory standard which seems to be cheap and abundant. However the mobo I'm looking at states that DDR2-1200 is the memory standard. Now I really don't care for super uber fast memory so could...

I am putting together a new rig and gaming on 720p tv that does 1280x720 native. Would it be worth it at all to choose a 4870 over a 4850 at this resolution? Or is the resolution so small that my system will be completely CPU bound? I'll be running a Q6600 more than likely OC'd to 3ghz.
