I'm looking for a cheap socket 939 proc and a HSF to go with it. The cheaper the better as I'm going to throw some of the extra parts together I already have on hand and use it as a file server.
I'm building a system for a friend and I was wondering what the best bang for your buck vid card under 100 bucks. I normally only build mid to high end systems so I really have no idea about the performance of the mainstream cards. Any help is appreciated.
Hi all. I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, but I was wondering if any of you know a place to look for information on building a remote video serveillance via internet setup. I have some property about an hour away from me where I've been having problems with tresspassers and poachers...
I was looking at the pcp&c to replace my antec truepower 550; because I added 1 more HD and it wouldn't boot into windows. I'm assuming it's a voltage issue; since I unhook the HD and is boots up fine. anyway which would you recoment that would work with my k8n neo2 platinum and it's 20 pin...
I'm gonna update my bios, install the chip, reinstall windows and start overclocking after work. I'll keep you posted. The stepping is CCBWE 0530TPMW. I'll keep you posted on how she clocks.
A friend of mide is looking for a new video card and I told him I'd help him out. which of these two cards is the superior and which will overclock better?
Hi. I just bought a HDA Mystique and my current sound system doesn't do it justice. So I was thinking of upgrading sometime in the next 6 month. So i figured I'd start the trek to a good affordable sound system now by asking you guys what's the best i can get with the money I have and what...
I was wondering if there's a way to get more volts out of this sucker. I have the bios maxed at 1.55 + 10% and cpu-z is only reading 1.568 volts to the core. My PSU shouldn't be the problem. It's a fairly new Antec TruePower 550.
I was seaching through the water cooling part of the forum and saw a lot of reomendations, but you have to sift through a lot of garbage to get to the actual meat. So like the title says what are the best easily available waterblocks. Something that you could go to a U.S. based online vendor...
Here are some pice of what I've done so far. I still need to seal the front of the case in these photos to keep air from recirculating back through the radiator.
Tell me what you think. The only think I havn't bought yet are the waterblocks and the fill port for easy...
I was just curious if anyone has ever tried this stuff as a TIM? It's like copper paste made for automotive use. I know it probably wouldn't work all that well, but I was just curious if anyone's tried it.
Hi all while looking for parts for my w/c rig I had the idea that if I can I'd be beter off using one type of hose fitting wherever possible. So which kind produces the best most reliable seal?
compression
barb
or push
I personally really like the 1/4" compression fittings that are on...
I have been seriously considering building a custon water cooling setup; because I would like to give it a try and want better cooling than my exos is providing. I was thinking about running a dual pump configuration for redundancy/safety is there any real disadvantages to this other than a...
Hi all I was just wondering who had the exos and what kind of temps you were seeing on what processor at what voltages, etc. Just wanted to get an idea of what everyone else was getting temp wise.
A64 3200+ @ 2.6 ghz 1.65 volt actually reads as 1.55 in corecenter

Hi I just refreshed my system. K8n Neo2 plainum, kingston hyperx 2-2-2-5 ram, and a64 3200+ .09. I can install windows fine and boot fine the first few restarts then as I start doing things (installing drivers and programs or anything for that matter that causes me to have to restart) the comp...
Hi all I was looking into getting an A64 939 pin mobo, processor, ram and a soundcard if the mobo doesn't have descent onboard audio . I'm gonna use my current mobo processor and ram as a work comp once I figure out what's wrong with it and rma the deficent part/parts. I think my ram and mobo...
I was wondering if ths card can output 2 seperate video signals. On my old 9700 pro I had it set up so the tv was a seperate display and only certain things opened up on it. I could have all tthe settings set appropriatly for my tv ie resolution, color correction, etc. Can I do this on my...
Hi. I'm new to this part of the forum. I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on a descent broadband router/hardware firewall. I will be getting wireless broadband here shortly (best connection currently available to me) and I don't think that the hardware that they provide includes a...
Hi I was just wondering if you think It'd be worth upgrading my comp.....basicall just processor and mobo. I currently have an NF7-s rev2 with a barton m 2500+ at 2.5 ghz, 1gb pmi pc3200 with 2-3-2-7 timings, a leadtek 6800gt@ 410/1.1, and a koolance Exos AL cooling the cpu. Just curious how...
Hi all just signed up and wanted to see how much of an overclock some of my fellow AMD owners got on their cpu.
