I'm running my 5850 at max OC that the control center will let me, but it's not underclocking to 157/300 anymore when it's idle. Any way to adjust it? I don't want it to run at 400/1125 when it's idle :-/

I have a piece of crap Audigy SE, and I'm looking for a new sound card to replace it. I do listen to a lot of music from many different genres, so I think a nice sound card upgrade will help in my listening experience. Also, I do play a lot of games, but since I'm limited to a 2 speaker setup...

http://www.durashack.us/Pics/OC.jpg Used AMD Overdrive for a little bit. Vcore set to 1.4. ACC set to Auto. I figure 3.5Ghz is a good 24/7 OC...not sure how much further I want to push it, but it would be nice :) I'm just too afraid of overvolting it, but from reading, PII is good up to 1.5V...

Hey guys, I'm planning on getting a Phenom II X3 720. I've had my eye on the Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P for quite some time, but I want some input before I jump on it since I haven't been in the loop as far as AMD goes in quite some time. - I probably won't need Crossfire, but I don't like the...

EDIT: Never mind. It was the RAM. Please delete :)

After a year or so at running 2.8, I decided to try to push my E6320 more. Last night, I ran it at 3.0Ghz 1.375V stable in Orthos. How much voltage can these chips take, and what would be safe for everyday + gaming use? I noticed that when I set it to 1.375Vcore in my BIOS (Gigabyte GA-965P-S3...

All I've been seeing about the HAF 932 is good news. The amount of airflow going into it looks astounding, and the cable management looks pretty superb. I'm just wondering how much noise it puts out, though. My current case, Antec P180 with some Yate Loon medium speed fans, is not very loud at...

Is there any discernable difference or stability issues I should know about between using 2x2GB as opposed to 4x1GB, provided all the sticks match? I plan to upgrade from 2GB to 4GB sometime in the near future, and although I don't think I can buy the same sticks I have anymore, I can probably...

Right now I have my E6320 OCed to 2.8Ghz (400x7). From what I'm reading, the E2180 will OC past 3Ghz easily with an aftermarket cooler (I have the Freezer 7 Pro). And I am quite CPU-limited at the resolution I play at (1280x1024). The question is...will there be much of a difference between the...

Like the title says. Just looking for one for my girlfriend. PM me if you have one you want to get rid of! :) Heat: [+Duracell-]

So I just installed a new HD4850 in my system, and I was running Oblivion when all of a sudden my screen turned black with blue squares in a weird pattern. I promptly turned it off and let it sit for a bit, thinking the temps were a bit high. I get back into windows, and sure enough, they...

I don't have the stock fans in there...I have 2 of these (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999346) ... one in the bottom chamber, the other in the rear vent hole. I had one of the SilenX fans on top, but it died. Is there a fan that will fit the top that pushes a good...

So I'm playing with my computer, and going to install Ubuntu Gutsy. There was a nagging issue where the onboard NIC just randomly stopped working, so I tried disabling and re-enabling it in the BIOS to see if that would do the trick. After I enabled it, though, it refuses to POST. What I've...

Is there any way to get multiple workspaces like a GNOME or KDE environment?

Specs in sig. I'm running a few games, and my computer would just randomly restart. PSU was used when I bought it a year ago. Not sure how long it was used. I have an APC Back-UPS 350, so I don't think the power line is a problem; my friend's PCs don't have a problem. The UPS is kinda old...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104015 $70 to buy - $20 MIR = $50 + shipping.

Hopefully someone can help me here. I have this block of code (description will follow below it): if (log.toString().contains("IFX")) { Date startTime, stopTime; long timer = 0; int msgCount = 0; String date, time, msg, svc; String[] timeTemp; // Regex to see if the line...

So after finding a local MicroCenter, I've decided to just shop there for my upgrade parts instead of going to Newegg and having them ship it to my apartment, mainly because I don't want to ship things to my apartment. I get paid next Friday, and I want to get them the same day. Tell me how...

I'm running a 1900GT @ 550/640 and stock cooler right now. For some odd reason, the default clocks were 500/600, so I think I can push the GPU core a bit higher...iirc the stock speed should be 575. Just a bit worried with my temps. I'm using ATI Tray Tools to OC, and it reports ~95C load...

First, system specs: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1GB Value ram DFI Lanparty nf4 Ultra-D ATI X1900GT 250GB & 500GB hard drives Creative Labs Audigy SE From what I understand, this should be able to play maxed out settings sans AA and AF @ 1280x1024 reasonably well IN COUNTERSTRIKE SOURCE...probably...

Currently, I'm running an A64 3000+, 1GB of Kingston Value ram on a DFI Lanparty nf4 ultra D. I plan to replace those parts with: Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Abit IB9 2x1GB of OCZ memory ~$500 with shipping and a tube of AS5. I might do some mild overclocking, but more...

Running a AMD Athlon 64 3000+ @ 2.25Ghz...probably could push it a bit more, but first a few things. Core runs at 36c/44c idle/load. I don't think this is too bad. Chipset (nF4) runs at 50-52c idle, though...anything to be worried about? Some of it is probably because I only have one fan...

So I just put together a computer, and I'm trying to install Windows XP onto it. I can't get all the files copied however. Like...when it's copying all the installation files to the HD, it says it can't read the file. Now, I've been trying this with 3 different XP CDs (SP2 Upgrade CD from MS...
