Thank you for the advice. I think I might bump up to the i3-4360 for $20 more to get a higher clock and improved onboard video.

Hello Everyone, I am looking to build a new PC that I will use in my living room as a media center PC running WMC most of the time. I would like a little more horsepower for surfing the web and the possibility of in the future it being used for something more. Lower power use is important to...

I have a 8800 GTS 512MB video card. It has 2 DVI ports. Is it possible to get a DVI to HDMI adapter and get audio to run through it? (i"m guessing no) What would you recommend as the best way to video & audio to my 1080p TV. I'm thinking DVD to HDMI adapter and my S/PDIF audio out...

I am looking for the same thing. I found this Powercolor 6670 for $89 no rebates. Is powercolor still a good company? http://amzn.com/B004YW5BE0

For my grandma and the general windows user it IS a great feature because of their lack of understanding of how an OS works. For people here at HardOCP it can be annoying and we all know how to disable it. I feel like one of the few that feels they are heading in the right direction with this...

Well I am going to go with the Ergotron LX unless anyone has any ideas for a better one around that $150 dollar price.

any other brands you recommend?

I am looking to buy an articulating arm for my 2405 and want a lot of range of motion. I am willing to spend no more than $150. Lower is better. Here is what I found so far: (Ergotron LX)...

I heard a rumor that I cannot verify. Does the 680i (A1) support Yorkfield? Thanks

Does it have the common courtesy to give a reach around?

SWEET!

If you done all you've said and tried a different power supply that pretty much narrows it down to a motherboard problem or possibly a power source problem. Try replacing your motherboard

Microsoft is trying to promote its product by making it free like Firefox. Defiantly not a cheap attempt, sounds like a smart move to me.

Thanks for the advise. Right now I am thinking about this one: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813121316 A DVI port is important because I have a nice monitor. Intel makes solid boards but only has a 1 year warranty are there any others with longer warranty's you...

What would be a reliable motherboard with integrated graphics with a good warranty?

He is going to be using this for running engineering programs (pro/e and matlab mainly), ,gaming and it will be hooked up to his television for a media center. He will be purchasing a tv tuner when he gets a TV. This computer is a little overkill but he is convinced that he wants to spend...

He can get vista business through his college for free so its covered there.

The jumping is because you have no links in your tool bar. Add a link up there and it will stop jumping. Worked for me.

You have chose the right motherboard. Make sure that you register it at evga.com within 30 days. I would recommend the corsair because it is really more like a 750-800 watt power supply and it comes with a 5 year warranty. PCP& C (3 year warranty) are also great so that is a hard...

I agree with what was posted above. I have the 680i and have experienced no problems. However be aware the EVGA 122-CK-NF68-TR does no have the lifetime warranty like the -AR. I have mine OC'd to 3.6 stable but am waiting for a new cooler to keep it at that speed. Also go with corsair for...

Does anyone think it will fit on my system? Will the capacitors get in the way?

I looking to buy this because I need a heat sync that is not higher than about 100mm so I can easily pull my motherboard tray out. Is there anyone else with this similar setup that can tell me whether or not this will fit? I know I will need to purchase the thermalright retention bracket for...

Yes, please, be more specific.

My dell 2405 that I bought in the summer of 05 began to have back lighting issues recently. The back light would sometimes flicker, or just go off. So yesterday I called Dell they we nice about it and sent me out a new one overnight which I received today. Less than 24 hours after calling a...

luckily it is still under warranty... I'm calling dell right now. I will let you all know what happens.

Really it would only make sense that it is my monitor. If it comes out of standby in windows... I will give dell a call

My monitor won't come out of standby until windows loads. I can turn it off and then turn it back on right as the bios load to see the bios screen. But if I don't do that it will just stay in standby until windows. I know its not my motherboard and I cannot decided if this is my video...

I've found that putting a stripe of AS5 under your left eye lowers temps 2-3 degrees C

Yeap, they waived my restocking fee for returning my P5B and I ordered the evga 680i... lets hope all goes well. Anyone here with an evga 680i? Please tell me you love it. lol

I am also thinking of just returning it. I just don't feel like this is a quality motherboard. You think newegg will refund me in full because it is defective? I'm thinking of going with the eVGA 680i... the lifetime warranty sounds great Also, What video card are you using? I have and XFX...

I have reset the cmos and tried 0804 bios and 0910 and the original that came with the motherboard. All have done the same thing. Do you have this same motherboard or are you referring to something different?

I recently purchased a new rig consisting of a P5B deluxe, e6600, and CORSAIR XMS2 2GB PC2 6400. Now what is strange is that when I power on the PC my dell 2405 does not automatically come out of standby. It will stay in standby until windows loads and as soon as the desktop loads the monitor...

I removed all the USB devises and it still does it. The monitor just never comes out of standby...

How good of a over clocker is that? what about the DS3 or asus P5B-E? what would be my most reliable overclocker?

drop issues? please explain.

I understand that there are much better graphics cards out there for the 150-200 dollar range. However I won't be a doing a single bit of gaming until school is out at the end of may and even until june. Then I will spend my money for a nice dx10 video card. So under 100 is great and it will...
