Hello Guys, I built a new rig about 6 months (thanks all for the help then), the first day I was having issues with CPU fan not spinning up, the MB would beeeep at me (I have the Fan Fail Warning enabled) and and I would have to flick the fan a few times to get it running, once it was running...

See my specs below. I have the following BIOS options set: CPU Fan Fail Warning - Enabled Smart Fan Control Method - Auto Smart Fan Control Mode - Auto I have the stock HSF that came with the Duo Core. When I first posted my system the CPU Fan would start-stop, start-stop. I spun it...

I just built a new rig, see Sig (and thanks to those who previously gave recc's). I was going to get the Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer but it was out-of-stock when I bought everything else. I thought I would try the on-board audio which is ALC889A Realtek. I also have a Audigy 1 card in my old...

Howdy, it's been awhile since I've built a rig. Over 5 years. Also I just have not had time to keep up with hardware past few years, work, family, life, etc. So I'm not 100% confident with my selections. This rig really is primarily for work, but I want a decent gaming rig so I can blow some...

I've got an old custom built PC my kids use, I swapped 2 60mm fans, one was part of the cooler for the CPU, but it was simply unscrew 4 screws, remove fan, put on new one. I clean out A LOT of dust bunnies. I turn it on and it works but there is a strange burning smell, I assume it's just...

I tried the demo and enjoyed it, just curious what those who bought it think about it?

I bought/played KOTOR put it away/uninstalled it. Recently my son wanted to play it so went to install and could not find the CD Key. I have the Jewel Case and the manual but not the original box. Can someone tell where the CD Key is suppose to be?!?! EDIT: I ASSUMED the game had a CD Key...

Recently finished HL2 and with all the comparison to Far Cry I decided to go back and play FC again to refresh my memory. Without getting into all the which is better, yada yada yada, let's just focus on the style. HL2 is very scripted, very much on a rail for most of the game. FC is quite...

Ok, I am pretty sure I know the answer to this but am curious as to what you [H] folks think. If you list a game then also list the publication year, we may have to go to month if it gets down and dirty!! My Answer: Outlaws by LucasArts, Released: March, 1997 Note: click and drag to...

I have heard a lot of people complain about the lack of story in HL2. I did not feel this way after playing the first time but I am playing through a 2nd time and am deliberately going slow and paying attention to my surroundings, also playing on Hard which frankly isn't that much harder than...

NOTE: This is an attempt at a serious discussion about Consoles and the PC as gaming platforms their past, present, and most importantly the future. This is not a thread set out to bash or malign either platform or their respected fans. If you feel the need to do so start your own thread and...

An interesting, but long read, about the development of HL2. Here is the link HL2 @ Gamestop It does seem that Gabe pulled the Sept. 30, 2003 out of the air, and it would appear his team knew this was unreasonable from the moment it was spoken but no one said anything (this is where the...

Is anyone playing this? Just curious to hear from some [H]'ers about it. I guess with COD:UO not that old and Halo2 and HL2 bookmarking it's release, and people burning out on WWII titles and the Pacific theater not being as interesting as Western Europe that this game may not do as good as EA...

IGN News and Gamespot Rumor are showing good indications that HL2 has been approved for production and distribution. I think I am now prepared to get excited about a mid-late November release!

As many of you know the next movie Peter Jackson is doing is a remake of the original King Kong, which is due out in the Summer of 2005 (you may know Jackson from a little trilogy he did called The Lord of the Rings). This means there will be much hype and we will be seeing "King Kong"...

For all us old gamers... lol Canopus Pure 3D (Voodoo 1) - this was argueably the best Voodoo 1 card on the market, a whopping 6 megs of Ram!! I remember firing up Interstate '76 in all it's 3D glory for the first time... the memories. Diamond Monster Fusion (Voodoo Banshee) - now don't...

I am curious how many here are planning on buying HL2 using Steam, that is all please do not hijack this thread to B&M (b*tch and moan) about HL2, there are plenty of other threads to do that in. Steam (Broadband rules!) Box (I'm a touchy/feely person) P2P (Come one everyone knows people...

I'm at the /. Games section and I see an ad for HL2, it has a picture of Gordon Freeman, a HL2 icon at the botton and at the top it says: "Are you ready?" I think to myself, the question is not whether we the gamer are ready, the question for the past year is whether VALVE is READY!!!!! I...

I think one of the most abused words in online play is 'camping'... second to probably only 'cheater' but that is a whole other thread. I am a CTF guy, so I am asking this question in the context of an objective based FPS game. Such as CTF or set explosives like in CS, or trip the triggers...

The MX1000 has been released and here is a review at Gaming Nexus: http://www.gamingnexus.com/Review.asp?ID=568 They liked it and gave it a 9.1 out of 10. It seems the only real advantage of the MX1000 over the MX700 is the ability to use it on any surface. The red light is gone too... but...

Just curious if Doom3 has a lot of Easter Egg stuff in it?? I remember playing Wolf3D and Doom1 and spending ridiculous amounts of time looking for Easter Eggs, I know in Wolf3D there was a secret level as I found it.

I use ZoneAlarm Pro and for the first time the Windows Update Install procedure was trying to communicate to over the Internet as ZA caught it and asked whether to give it permission. It was quite a lengthy upload whatever was sent. I went ahead and let it but wish I had not. Anyone else...
