Basically, here's my scenario. I really only use my PC for entertainment because I don't have a TV (I move around a lot so it just doesn't make sense). I have the system in my sig, a PS3, and a unibody Macbook Pro that I primarily use for everything. So, I would like the system to work with all...

I've run my voltage up to 1.25v, I've loosened my timings to 5-5-5-15 although my ram is rated for 800 anyways, and I stuck on a Scythe Ninja Mini. I'm running an E8400 on an Asus P5K-E Wifi. I just want it at 3.6ghz and it doesn't seem likely. So its either: A) My incompetence in...

So, I've always thought that "74gb is more than enough for an OS and a few apps", and it turns out that I have about 15gb left on this drive and its starting to scare me. I'm looking for a replacement and I have a few questions: Is the Raptor150 really worth it when I can get a Seagate 750GB...

EDIT/FINAL UPDATE: BFG agreed to hand test the new replacement card and send it out today (the same they received my defective card). That sort of support is unprecedented these days. I only wish they did an Advanced RMA but I guess being down for 3 days is much better than 15. Thanks to [H] and...

So first, I installed it in my current system with 2GB of ram, XP-32, and a Seasonic 650w. The performance I was getting in Crysis was quite weak (everything else was already more than playable at 1920x1200 on a 8800GT). As a result, I decided to jump to 4GB of ram, get a nice Corsair 620W...

I just got my 9800GX2 last night; however, it won't fit when I have hard drives plugged into the SATA ports. I have an Asus P5K-E Wifi with the only 6 SATA ports being right there near the southbridge. Anyways, does anyone know of any low profile SATA cables so I can connect this on the slant...

I've gone cheap on cases long enough. My latest Coolermaster just cut my hand open for the last time. My 9800GX2 is coming in on Tuesday so I need the new case to accommodate large things like that. I want to hold onto this for a few years so it should have enough room for SLI and 4 hard drives...

I just found this. Is it out now? http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=565222

I just returned my 3870 X2 to the store last night, good riddance - I never got a stable framerate with it. But to temporarily replace it, I picked up a BFG 8800 GTS 512 OC. I've been playing Crysis at 1920x1200 with everything medium and 8x AF. Everything else maxes out at my resolution...

So I just installed my new 3870 X2 (for those of you haters, there's a 30 day return policy which overlaps with the 9800GX2 launch hehehe) and performance is what I expected in newer games (maxing out UT3, CoD4, etc. etc... Crysis with everything high except shadows @ 1920x1200)... BUT, the...

I have an 8800 GT now but its just not enough power to run games fluidly at 1900x1200 with a little bit of AA and such. Not to mention its ridiculously loud and hot. Right now, I can get the GTS 512 or a GTX for basically the same price so thats not an issue. My concern is that I've heard...

So I just purchased this 27 inch LCD. I believe the resolution is 1920x1200. I know my current 8800GT is probably not going to play games with full detail at this resolution with maybe 2x AA. I was wondering what's my best upgrade path based on my current configuration? Get a 2nd 8800GT (this...

I realize there's a tonne of 24 inchers around this price but I'd like something a little bit bigger. Ideally, I'd like a Dell 3008WFP but its around $2000 right now on the Canadian website and that's a little over my budget. I was thinking along the lines of a Dell2707 but I'm sure there's...

Hi, I recently purchased a Sony Bravia 26 inch LCD and Logitech Z-5500s for use with the following: Xbox 360 Pro My computer (has Geforce 8800 GT and X-Fi XtremeMusic) and my HD TV Tuner/Box Now then, I can connect the display signals to the LCD via the following: DVI to HDMI to the...

Hi, Last night I turned off my computer (see sig), and this morning when I woke up to turn it on, nothing. None of the fans spun, the LED on my motherboard was off and nothing got it working. I tried a different case thinking that maybe the case switch wasn't working (I have beat it up)...

Willing to spend ~$380 shipped on a New or Used Retail AMD Opteron 175. As an alternative I wouldn't mind an X2 4400+, also I would spend a little more for an X2 4800+. I live in Canada so the shipping would have to be insured and registered. Let me know what you have!! Also, ebay feedback...

There's a strange pattern going on, it seems like everyone with an eVGA Geforce 7900 GTX Superclocked and an MSI board has absolutely no freezing issues or artifacting at all. If you have this combination: Please post your board, your power supply, and whether you have 1 or 2 GTX Superclocks...

I purchased the eVGA Superclocked Edition of the 7900 GTX 512MB on Launch morning and got the card yesterday. It artifacts like mad in F.E.A.R, and I get hard freezes every 20 minutes or so in every game that go away after 15 seconds. This happens ALL THE TIME, I tried opening the case and...

I have about $1000 CDN to spend (so that's like $800USD): FX-55 Clawhammer - Thermalright XP-120 Asus A8N-SLI Premium 2x1024MB OCZ Platinum (2-3-2-5) DDR400 eVGA Geforce 7800 GTX KO Edition (256MB) SB Audigy 2ZS 2 x 74GB WD Raptors (not hurting for space.. yet) OCZ Powerstream 600W...

Both dual cores @ 2.4ghz with 1MB cache and approximately the same price here in Canada. What's the difference, I'm leaning towards and Opteron because of the overall 1337ness of saying you have one lol. Will they have identical performance in games and applications (I don't care about...

I ordered my Copperhead 3 weeks ago from the Razer store and they charged my credit card that day (I called Visa to check), and they sent me two non-descript confirmation emails since then. I don't have a single tracking number or order number or know the status of my order and my Copperhead is...

Sitting on my hands waiting for months now to pick up a new Razer Copperhead, does anyone know where they are available or when the release date is? I spilled coke on my Diamondback so I need a replacement soon and I can't justify spending the same amount of money on a new Diamondback when the...

For the last 6 months I've been combating heat with my FX-55 so OC'ing wasn't even a possibility, but I just put in an XP-120 and bought an Antec P180, and my temps dropped huge! I now run at 30 degrees idle and 46 prime95 load. Unfortunately I sold my TCCD ram and I have these 1gb sticks that...

Okay, one week before school, have some extra cash left, I feel like jumping on the dual-core bandwagon but not sure if it's worth it. The most I do is leave Battlefield 2 open and do my homework in Word/Excel/Access that type of junk, but I also do a lot of bittorrents and DVD encoding while I...

My Coolermaster Wavemaster isn't cutting anymore and I've tried everything possible to make ventilation better. It's time to burn it and start off fresh. :) I'm dumping my power supply too and getting either the Seasonic 600W or the PCP&C Turbocool 510 SLI. So basically what I want is something...

Alright, basically my problem is I want to go SLi this Christmas and possibly a dual core, but my little wuse OCZ Modstream 520W will crack under pressure. I might get the Antec P180 so I need a long ATX (24 pin) cable as well. See sig for stuff. Basically, I've narrowed my choices down to...

With all the company bashing, cash grabbing threads I've seen lately, I thought I'd post my experience with eVGA as a heads up that not all video card companies are trying to screw you. I bought my 7800 GTX on launch day like many of you for way over MSRP lol (think around $619 + shipping) and...

Screw the eVGA ACS3 or whatever, checkout the new Quadro's cooler. Does anyone know where to buy one and whether it can be fitted on a 7800 GTX? Help would be appreciated, I wouldn't mind shelling out a little extra cash for a cooler like that. And I hope it's loud, like ear piercingly loud, so...

All you 7800 GTX users that went eVGA, FYI many of us have been bitchin' at them on the eVGA forums (I don't think I can put a link to another board on this one) about other manufacturers offering faster cards out of the box for the same price. Wade Shelley from eVGA responded to say they have a...

I've finally come to the realization I need 2gb to run Battlefield 2 at max settings, and now I'm ready to buy some memory. What is the highest performing 2gb dual channel kit on the market? OCZ and Mushkin seem to have memory that does 2-3-2 at normal voltage, while Corsair seems to have some...

Just got the new board, monitoring CPU and chipset temperatures, and I'm getting different readings from different applications. Asus PC Probe is telling me right now that my CPU temp is 38 degrees and my Chipset temp is 43 degrees. Everest is telling me that the CPU temp is 26 degrees while the...

Hi all, I bought my Coolermaster WaveMaster a couple months ago and although it looks awesome, it's just brutal for cooling. I have a lot of really hot components inside like an FX-55/X850XT/ 2 raptors and stuff like that so I really want to get those ambient temperatures down. Right now in the...

I have a question for all you professionals out there. This afternoon I downloaded a torrent file, after I extracted it, (they were mp3s), my ping time sporadically increased and decreased. When playing counter-strike for example my ping went from 343 to 55 back to 350 again. Instinctively I...

So I was playing some Counter-Strike source a few minutes ago, out of nowhere, the video and audio cuts off to nothing, the computer is on, hard drives are spinning, yet it hangs, nothing is happening besides a black screen, Ctrl-Alt-Del, Alt-F4, that crap doesn't work. Have to do a hard reset...

Hi, I'm getting a new DFI nforce4 SLI board soon for the new G70 and I encounter a huge problem with my plans. A screw on my motherboard is stripped to a riser on my case and it won't come out, all it does is turn freely in the riser. On top of that, I think the riser is stripped in the...
