Is there a utility that I can use to check my SATA drives for corruption/errors while they are in a RAID? The Maxtor utility does not work with RAID. Someone help a man out here. Or suggest a way that I can test my drives w/o losing my data.

Ok so here is my problem. At random times (sometimes startup, sometimes in a game, etc) my computer will reset on its own. I have not yet figured out why this is, BUT another problem that might be related is that sometimes when it resets the computer will not restart on its own. Furthermore...

Anyone have a clue what could be causing this problem. When playing a game such as Farcry, the game will start out with just a little staticy sounding. After playing for a while, the sound will b/c some bad that you can't understand the voices. Not much longer after this the comp will reset...

Woke up this morning and went to turn on my computer and had absolutely no response when I hit the power button. It was running fine last night. The light on the motherboard is on, and I have rechecked and d/c + reconnected all of the power cords. I even unplugged the power switch and...

In SLI, I am getting about 9300. I get in the low 8000's with just a single card. Everything of mine is at stock right now, but the gfx cards of course are stock oc'd. From what I have read I should be getting around 11,000 in SLI. My score is about right for stock 6800's. I dunno what the...

I have been searching through threads, but havent located the same problem; its probably some absent minded mistake on my part, but I still need the help. System specs are in the sig. Problem is, now that I have switched the jumpers on the mb to SLI and put the bridge on between the 7800gtx's...

What are peoples opinions on this? I have only seem a couple of blocks that even allow you to do this. One is the Koolance, that has that liquid pack to cool the backside of the card. The other is the Innovatech that you can buy an add-on that allows the back-side to be cooled. Mostly I just...

I have an SN25P system and I am currently considering a WC solution. The processor OC's great just on stock cooling, sits at about 40 C. However, due to the setup of this system, the video card gets awful cooling (especially since the stock cooler doesnt blow out the back). I will probably go...

Has anyone tried water cooling an x800xl yet? I am tempted to water cool mine, except I am using an SFF system and don't want to make the neccessary mods yet. Anyway, the x800xl is a low-k proccess which I am guessing implies that it does a very poor job of giving off heat. Perhaps a WC...

Just wanted to make a thread for owners of this system to post their specs and what their OC's were. I am still waiting on my new RAM before I start to OC.

Just built my new system from new egg the other day. One component was the new x800xl from powercolor, which is supposed to hav the 1.6ns ddr on it. Well, it doesnt. I got it out of the box, and it has 2.0ns samsung on it. I figured what the heck, plugged it in to see what it could do. I...

Any clue if they will be making some SFF systems in the near future that will utilize pci-e for the gfx card? I'm highly considering building an sff system, but if so, I would like to use the new ati x800 xl, which is pci-e only. It seemed to take them a while to get nforce 3's out in sff, I...

As I am intending my new system to be SLI, I have been waiting not only for the SLI boards, but also for the PCI-E cards to come out. eVGA and XFX have theirs out, but according to Gainwards website they have a pci-e gt. Unfortunately, I can't find it for sale or even pre-order on any sites...

link So, according to this news blurb, the x800XL should be just a little faster than the x800pro, retailing at only $350. Do we think that this will actually happen? I am not really sure of the differences between the x800XL and the x800pro, besides that the xl has 16 pipelines. I wonder...

Hmm, looks like a pretty mixed review. The SLI has its performance gains in places, but drivers seem like they might be a persistant problem. SLI Preview

This seems to be a very tough choice. SLI should be available within a few weeks, AMR boards using the new ATI chipset maybe early next year? It seems either way, I will be waiting till the end of the year to get ANYTHING. For the Nvidia side, they will be available sooner, have SM3.0...

I want this case, but I cannot find it for sale ANYWHERE. It was supposed to be produced and shipped back in June. Anyone know what happened to it? Is there anywhere to get one?

Ok, here is the deal, I am trying to find a case to squeeze a full circuit (cpu, gpu and chipset) WC solution into. I do not want external components. I am opting for a dual-120 radiator to mount somewhere in the rig (most likely on the top, pulling in). I want a case that has (or can handle...

My question for all you Nvidia 6800 GT owners is this: Does this card come with the option to set: "reduce DVI frequency" ? Can find the reference to it at this link. I am really interested in knowing this b/c I know that ATI cards do have this option. Why is this important? B/c I have...

I am going with an ATI card for a few reasons. One reason being the Reduce DVI Frequency option only ATI has that vastly improves the image quality on my Dell 2001fp (gets rid of "screendoor" effect). I am going to be overclocking whichever card I get to the max I can stable, on air. However...

In the next few days I am going to be building a new system. I am leaning towards the 754 so I can OC on the DFI lanparty mb. However, I have seen people post all their OC's on the 3400, but I haven't seen anyone really talk about how well, if at all, the 3700 overclocks. People are getting...
