Hello all, This may have been addressed before, but I'd like to confirm before purchasing any components. Here are my questions: 1. Is the Sapphire Toxic HD6950 2GB a reference layout (thereby supporting aftermarket coolers designed for this reference layout)? 2. I have a switech...

Hello everyone, I have a Sapphire Toxic HD6950 2GB that I'm overclocking. The shaders were (fortunately) unlockable so I'm now overclocking the card and stress testing using Furmark. I can play the Unigine Heaven benchmark with 920/1400 with +75mV vcore and Powertune set to +50% to make...

Hello everyone, So I grabbed a Sapphire Toxic HD6950 2GB about a month ago, and finally am getting around to overclocking it. I flipped the on-card switch to to the 6970 BIOS and my system boots just fine, and GPU-Z and TriXX shows 1536 unified shaders unlocked :). I played BF3 for...

Hello everyone, I have a PCI-e eVGA 8800GT 512MB that I'd like to sell. It works great and has always been cooled properly. $40 shipped to lower 48. Please pay through PayPal. PM if interested. Thank you!

Hello all, This might be a silly question, but: I have an older PSU, but it should be capable of running a HD 6950. My PSU features 2x6 pin PCI-E plugs, but the video card has a 8 pin and a 6 pin socket. Do I need to get a 6->8 pin adapter, or is it fine to use as is? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have the system with specs in my signature. I've been out of the loop for several years with regards to PC hardware, primarily because real life kicked in and I haven't games much. With BF3 coming out though, I'd like to play it with some decent eye candy. Can my Abit...

Hello everyone, I've been out of the loop for a while as far as hardware goes. I have a IP35 Pro with an overclocked (water-cooled) Q6600 to 3.4 GHz and a 8800GT and 8 GB of DDR2 memory. With Battlefield 3 on the horizon, I'd like to upgrade enough to play at decent settings. I think the...

Hello everyone, I've been out of the loop as far as new keyboards go. I currently have a Logitech Wave wireless keyboard and hate it. The keys take too much strength to press down, so after a day's typing, it is quite taxing on the fingers. I've also noticed that I can't type too fast on...

Hello everyone, I've been searching for a DD-WRT compatible wireless-N router that offers good performance for < $100. Ideally, I'd like it to have 5.2 GHz capability as well. So far, I haven't found anything that has good reviews. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, I've tried Googling this situation, but so far I haven't come across a solution. I have an e-sata external drive attached to my laptop. When the spindle speeds up or down when I access the drive, windows vista (64-bit business) temporarily freezes and the display driver...

Hello everyone, Normally I would post in the mobile computing section, but since this specifically deals with cpu clock speed, I thought it would be more appropriate to post it here. I recently purchased a MSI GT627 laptop with a P8600 (2.4 GHz) cpu in it. In windows (I am running Vista...

Hello everyone, I've been doing a bit of research as I need to replace my current 350W APC UPS unit. I've found that the max power draw my system pulls (Prime 95 and running rthdrbl) is about 520W/560 VA. As a result, I'm looking for a minimum of a 600W unit, preferably at least 700W. My...

Hello everyone, Is it safe or possible to flash a laptop BIOS from the Windows Vista DVD repair command prompt? A long story short, I downloaded a BIOS from softpedia instead of the manufacturer (MSI). I now can't change any options in the BIOS as I don't have the admin password. I...

Hello everyone, I'm looking to purchase a cheap 17", 19", or 20" LCD monitor to bring to work. Both 4:3 or widescreen monitors are fine. I have a crappy CRT that strains my eyes, and I want to replace it. The most I'm willing to spend is $50. Does anyone have an older LCD monitor...

Hello everyone, I've been researching affordable 15.4" gaming notebooks for some time now, and fell in love with the MSI GT627. I came across this today: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GT627-218US-15-4-Inch-Geforce-Blu-Ray/dp/tech-data/B001P5GKCQ/ref=de_a_smtd. There is another variant here, but...

Hello everyone, When I connected to my university network via VPN today, I noticed a very annoying issue: my internet browser traffic on the client PC (the one I am using) stops. When this happens, I can still remote desktop into the host PC and use it without issues. The browser on the...

Hello everyone, I recently bought a 1TB Seagate drive, and want to copy the intact vista installation on one of my 250GB drives the the 1TB drive. The reason is to get slightly faster experience, since the 1TB drive has a much higher throughput, especially at the beginning (outer edge) of...

Hello everyone, I have a Silverstone Zeus ST65ZF 650W PSU. It only has an 80mm fan for cooling, which can get to be quite loud. I actually replaced the stock 80mm fan with a Panaflo M1A, but this fan is still the loudest in my system. I was thinking of modding the PSU and install an...

Hello everyone, First of all, hopefully I am posting this under the correct sub-forum. It definitely relates to my Abit IP35 Pro motherboard, but has more to do with RMA issues with Abit. That said, here is the scoop. I went through with a cross-shipment of my Abit IP35 Pro motherboard...

Hello all, here is what I have for sale: AGP BFG Geforce 6800GT 256MB. It runs like a champ! Asking $45 shipped OBO. SOLD!!! 1 d-tek VGA block. Note that this is a discontinued block, and not the Fuzion GFX block. Nonetheless, it works quite well! Included is a homemade adapter to...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a motherboard replacement for my Abit IP35 Pro as I seem to be having compatibility issues with my 8800GT. Even though my Abit motherboard worked with my PC for 6 months, I now get the legendary 9.0 POST code. The 8800GT works in the 4x slot, but not the 16x...

Hello all, I lapped my waterblock a few days ago, and it is already showing signs of tarnish. I know I can clean the block with vinegar, but does tarnish actually affect thermal performance? Another idea I have is to use some mothers mag polish on the bottom to protect it. I've tested...

Hello everyone, So I awoke this morning to find my PC not booting correctly, with a POST code of 90 hex. After playing around with ram seating, etc, I took out the video card and put in an old PCI card. The PC booted fine. I then moved my 8800GT from the PCI-E 16x slot to the x4 slot. It...

Hello all, A while back I ordered some 7/16" ID Masterkleer tubing from Jab-tech.com. To my amazement, it was very clear. In the past I bought it from usplastics, and it was slightly opaque. About 2 months later, I bought some more Masterkleer from Jab-tech, but this time it had the same...

Does anyone know if the quad midplate for a fuzion v2 is worth it when cooling a Q6600? I'd imagine that it would, but then I don't think I've seen any conclusive evidence of the benefits yet. I've only seen testing on core2 duo's, not quads.

Hello all, here is what I have for sale: 1 d-tek VGA block. Included is a homemade adapter to allow it to fit a 6800 GT. This was manually lapped to 2000 grit as well. $15 plus shipping. 1 BFG Geforce 6800GT 256MB. This has an advertised lifetime warranty, which may or may not be...

Hello, I have a new D-tek Fuzion that I want to install. I've always lapped my blocks and placed them on a bare core (removed IHS), but now I have a Q6600. If I've read up correctly, the IHS can't practically be removed on these chips. Bare cores are almost always flat, but IHS's are often...

Hello everyone, Whenever I run uTorrent, it seems to bring my browsing to a complete halt. Note that I have have about a 3Mbit down/2Mbit line up, and I set my max uTorrent upload to 10KB. Loss of browsing ability seems to occur within 15 seconds of starting uTorrent, regardless of...

Hello everyone, I read somewhere that while lapping my new D-tek Fuzion that I should take it apart first and lap it without the top part on. Does this make sense? I'd imagine that when fully built, stresses will be put on the block itself and thus cause some warping. Wouldn't I get a...

Hello everyone, I have the Logitech Z-640 5.1 sound system. Ever since I upgraded to Windows Vista Business 64-bit, I haven't been able to get any sound out of my rear right speaker. My rear left speaker, however, works perfectly. I verified that the speaker is not dead as well as well by...

Hello everyone, I installed Vista Business (64-bit) and so far I'm pleasantly surprised with how snappy it is. One thing that got on my nerves, though, was the fuzziness of the text on my dual 22" monitors (which are on DVI, by the way). It just seems that XP looks crisper than Vista, and I...

I just received this back in stock notification from ZipZoomFly - Evga 8800GT's (stock 600MHz) for $249.99+shipping. Not a superb deal, but it beats the egg. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=10007134

Is it just me, or are most e-tailors out-of-stock of the Swiftech MCW60-R VGA waterblock? This is rather frustrating, as I want to order all of my supplies from one place that has competitive (i.e. Jab-tech) so I can limit shipping costs.
