If one doesnt have access to an older AM3 cpu, and has an am3+ mobo compatible with bulldozer, how would they flash the board to support a bd processor? Would it atleast post and function to the point you can flash it? Just kind of curious because im seeing on sites such as gigabyte that they...

Figured I'd post some pics :-) http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/5907/img00018.jpg] Pretty happy so far the mobo seems great, this is the first CoolIT product I've been happy with, and system is rock solid.

So I purchased a 3870 last week and dont want to rma it due to a ratteling fan. I guess at this point Im looking to find out what coolers fit it without modification. I dont like the idea of a fanless solution so that eliminates the accelero s1. Im thinking vf900 because theyre straight...

These things are seriously awesome... I had a DeathAdder that died on me a while back and was waiting for something I liked to replace it. That being said I also had the original Boomslang ball mouse forever ago when it came out. The packaging is just kickass, I bought two, one for a gift...

Im sure there are probably more threads on this, but after work today and several problems with my new system and Vista over the weekend I decided to give XP Pro another run and wow and I glad I did. So Ive used Vista pretty much since launch, Ive been a supporter, Im an early DX10 adapter...

I need some help with this because im really not sure what temperature is accurate. I put together a DG33TL Mainboard config with a Q6600 and a Freezer 7 Pro. My CPU temp on post via the bios was 60C, but I noticed this temperature does not flucuate (or when it does its within +1c/hits 61c)...

I assembled the system last night, however upon shutting down vista at the end of the night (with a clean install) the system does not power down. It shuts off all Windows Services and proceeds to a black screen (which cannot be woken up from this state), but does not power down the system...

Just a couple quesitons because I noticed the card was pretty warm last night. I exited a 3 hours game of HG London and noticed my temperatures were around 70C ( 68 - 69C ). I believe the games somewhat buggy and had a little bit of flickering, however it was on in one environment in the game...

Ive been through quite a few mp3 players over the past year, including an iPod video, a zune, and an iPod nano 4gb. I picked up a 4gb iPhone last week and have absolutely loved the thing since purchasing it. Feature wise If I were to purchase a new mp3 player id want something more or less...

Does anyone know on the retail box brisbane's - at what speed do they begin shipping with their heatpipe heatsinks? A friend purchased an FX62 and the heatsink didnt look too horrible. Im just curious because im debating whether or not to order an aftermarket heatsink. Thanks!

So Annual bonus day was today at work, and I had pretty much planned on getting an imac as I no longer have my mini (when getting my macbook pro a few weeks ago I gave the mini to my sister who was in need of a new system). I picked up a 20" iMac, pretty much standard specs but this thing is...

I realize theres a giant thread on this topic but there doesnt seem to be any conclusive evidence of this issue and was wondering if anyone has any confirmation from gateway. I purchased one of these yesterday and am wondering if I should go back and purchase the 50 dollar warranty so I can...

Purchased an MSI K9N Platinum (570), 1gb PC5400 Corsair XMS2 kit, and an AM2 3000+ for this. I've had nothing but problems since last night. I looked into temperatures, voltages, etc. everything looks fine. Tried to install Windows at 667, bumped the ddr2 voltage to 1.9v as recommended by...

I'd settle for the AVC heatpipe HSF the dual cores come with this OEM aluminum job just isnt doing it. Does anyone know of any heatsinks currently on the market that will work on this CPU? I need something cause I cant stand the oem hsf. Thanks!

Im just curious if Crossfire on 2 * x1600 cards that are xfire ready would work on an nforce4 sli mobo. Ive done plenty of reading and I dont really see anything that'd bar it from working as its a software solution. Anyone tried this yet? Id be interested on feedback... Im doing this as a...

Ok I had a Zalman CNPS7000 before this, and although it looked nicer and was much smaller, my Pentium D ran a little on the warm side. In Sisoft Burn-In sessions (15 Cycles of CPU Multimedia and arithmetic) it would hit temperatures as high as 54C although sisoft does stress both cores on my...

Ok this has been bothering me since Friday but I havent thought to ask anyone. Has anyone else noticed the card does in fact (Xtreme Music Model) have the floppy power plug on it? Should we have connected this? I assumed originally that perhaps the Platinum gets power for the bay drive from...

So I know alot of people arent huge on the p4d reviews just because it doesnt outbench x2's and because games dont support dual processors yet. These things are snappy and responsive as all hell when multitasking. I had a 3.2HT LGA775 P4 before this and the difference in Windows is night and...

I just ordered an Abit Fatal1ty 925XE motherboard, 2 x 512 megs of Corsair XMS PC5400 and am currently curious as to whether or not the 560J's newegg has in stock support EMT64 instructions? Id love to get a 64-bit P4 and be done with purchasing upgrades for sometime, and feel that 64bit might...

I recently purchased a 2.66Ghz Celeron D and swapped the heatsink off for an aftermarket heatsink. I was curious as to cooling performance so had swapped back to the retail heatsink again to try it with aftermarket thermal paste. After reseating the heatsink and mounting it, I turned the PC on...

Just noticed these are now on sale for 49.99 at Compusa while in store today. Theyre no longer listed on their website but this is half price of what they retail for. Its a pretty decent soundcard, using one on my laptop. Mike
