I always seem to ping 20 ms or lower to Chicago, IL. But, Illinois is not in my state. I live in Michigan. A state away or two, but in Michigan, I get higher ping times from the same host around 40 ms when testing to Detroit. I'm just curious how Chicago, IL offers such great latency when it's...
I'm hoping by September or Christmas.They're already around 289. It's the only card I can justify going to from my 8800; however the 5830 looks decent as well, but not significantly better.
My specs are in my sig. I have an Antec 500W powersupply. Recently it seems my 8800GT doesn't like to stay cool despite re-applying thermal paste. It's helped, but...... for lack of better words it seems to just be dying. I'll get random freezes in games, flickers, and black screens...
so fast I break the sound barrier, then I want to overclock so fast I travel in time. :D
I wanna be the very best
overclock like no one ever has
To reach the gigahertz is my real test
To beat your clocks is my cause
I will overclock across the land
scaling my multiplier far and wide
Each...
I have 4 left.

Still playing with it. It's stable... lowering voltages little by little to test stability. Bow DOWN TO ME! This is on air. Push-Pull xigmatek s-1283.
Q6600 @ 9*446
Voltage 1.4750
Ram 6B's Crucial BallistiX @ 5-5-5-18 with 2.1 volts DDR800 = operating at 892mhz
1:1 Ram ratio.
I'm just curious, I don't really know where to put this thread and want an estimate. I have to strip down old some p.c.'s I own, and get rid of them and was thinking of parting out the procs. But, I'm wondering if I should sell them or just pitch them. What would be a reasonable price if so for...
Anyway, I broke my side-fan's fan-blade, because well the heatsink runs into it. I'm planning on just getting some nuts or wing-nuts to hold the fan grate on (side panel)... anyone do this? Or do you guys think baby o-rings would work better?
I can't believe I just broke my side fan. :facepalm:
I want to get a 2nd HDD to store my random movies/music backups. I was thinking of getting an internal, because I want to use it on my notebook, but I have a esata port, so I'm guessing an external 3.5" drive would be better, because I can get double the space of a (500GB 2.5" notebook drive)...
I finally got my Q6600 up to 3.6 (9*402) at 1.3550 volts stable. I think I've got really lucky with this proc and maxed it out on air for now. It idles around 45*c between cores 0 and 1. I'd like to do a push/pull method on my xigmatek and was wondering if they sell those rubber heatsink mounts...
Ok, so my Q6600 is at 8x440. Making me yeild a rough overclock to 3.5ghz. Now I'm running this in the screen shot below. It's stable; however when I use the 9x400 at 3.6 ghz.. oddly I blue screen and it's much warmer.
Is it safe to run my ram at 2.1? It's rated for 2.0 @ DDR2 800.
Oh...
I ordered Windows 7 on 11-27, and have yet to receive my disc. I did the download, but I did order the disc as well. I know it's the holidays, but it has been over 2 weeks. Shipping can't really be this bad?
Should I call digitalriver or microsoft?
Thanks!
P.S. my e-mail shows that it...
23 years old, In perfect condition. Looking to trade her in for an upgrade.
Will take 500 dollars or best offer.
Pros : Cooks, Cleans, knows the kitchen.
Cons: Requires a hardware upgrade every few months. High maintenance.
:)
Hi, I never really payed much attention to it before until now. When I hover over my network it says (Currently connected to linksys.) However when I connect to it wirelessly it says (Currently connected to "Networknamehere/routername.")
I swear ever time I connected before cat-6 it said the...
Last mile stone I guess. I've been running at 8*400 for the longest time. I finally bumped it up to 9x multiplier. At 8*400 I was running at 1.225V and now at 9*400 I'm running at 1.3V.
The temps are about 5-10c* higher on average. I also bumped my DDR2 Voltages up from 1.8 to 2.0 (I don't...
I've got it randomly a few times now. I thought I took care of it. Ran MSE detected nothing.
Malware Nothing.
Spybot. Nothing.
Trying AntiVir
Thanks in advance!
I'm going to finally call in my Windows 7 order this Friday. I finally have some time off!
I'm going to use my student discount for the 29.99.
I currently have windows xp pro. I also just purchased 4GB of ram to add to my Q6600 rig in my sig.
I'm going to try and get a full install...
Is there any reason why when I go to google.com, my upper bar on google loads about half a second after google appears?
Like .... I got to google.. and then half a second images video, et cetera appear. On IE, it doesn't. Nor does it on my friends computer when he uses firefox. I know it...
Let me first off by saying I know this has been asked before, but for my comfort, I am making a new thread.
I wish to purchase the Win 7 Professional for 30 dollars, due to having a university e-mail.
Now, my main questions are.
1) Will this include x64 bit?
2) Is this a full...
My firefox has randomly tried to redirect me to another site, like freeviruscleaner.com or w/e...
I tried to google it and it doesn't show up.. it's really odd. But, now my firefox is all normal.
I'm running MSE right now......... I think it happened once before really random. Just odd...
Which is better or should I use?
Currently I have Avast on all my machines at home and it seems to do a good job. Especially with web-browsing detecting suspicious sites and spotting "trojans." It seems to work really well for being free, in my opinion. Just wondering if MSE has a leg up...
I have a Q6600 at 8*400 = 3.2
I have a Thermaltake Saprano.
I removed the plastic part off the front of the case, so it's like a metal skeletal structure and the 120 MM fan seems to be pushing tons more air.
I just found my coretemps surprising.
It's 73*F in this room
My CPU is at 1.225V...
Is the Black Berry 8900 worth it? I want a keyboard I can touch. I looked at the iPhone, but I would really like something that has WiFi and can actually touch the keys and good web-browsing.
I have an LG VU right now. It's ok, but the screen gets a tad dirty and the numbers are hard to...
I was curious if anyone knew of Microsoft offering a student discount for their new Windows 7 in x64 preferably. I'm still on XP Pro and would like to upgrade by Christmas. My Student book-store charges outrageous prices for Vista right now and it's only in 32 bit. :rolleyes:
They want 206...
What's the guys name that's addicted to drugs in GTAIV? He's a bit loopy. I found him near Roman's by accident. I think.
I told my friend and he has never seen or heard of this guy in GTAIV before.
He gives you I think 100 dollars when you first meet him. I found him again and he took me...
Just curious. I have a old notebook, that my parents use (Horrible Purchase.) It overheats all the time. It's known for this, being a lemon.
Anyway, it has an AMD XP-M 2400+ in it and a 5400RPM 60GB HDD.
I was thinking, could I theoretically get a socket 462 A motherboard (cheap now!) some...
Gets to about 94% install. Says it can't locate a map file. I tried cleaning the disc once and I am trying it again. If this doesn't work, should I just "borrow" the files and put in my cd key and disc when needed?
Because this is just frustrating. I'm trying right now to rip the image with...
Vista x64. Every time I start it, it just crashes. I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it, also using some zune-remover program with no avail. :(
Any ideas?
